California: Budget brinksmanship: State waits for counting game to end

Mercury News ^ | 7/21/02 | Phil Yost (OPINION)

We're at Day 20, Day 60, Day 68 and minus $20 million.

Day 20 is how late the budget is. It was due July 1. Passed by the Senate, it has hit a wall in the Assembly. Twenty is the one politically neutral statistic in the list above.

Watching the California budget is like watching a traffic accident in progress--perhaps one of those multiple car crashes in the deep fogs in a California valley.

One car crashes into the pile, and then another, and then another.

As the California economy tanks and one rosy revenue projection after another vanishes into history, what will the liberals do?

Go to the Feds for help? Yeah, almost certainly.

Can California declare bankruptcy? Inquiring minds want to know.

Whatever. They still haven't counted all the votes from the Presidential election. What makes you think they would count the money or the days, let alone let the people's voices count.

Sometimes I wonder if even Simon can do it.
