Governor slashes workers' pay - Los Angeles Times
... "And John Chiang, State Controller, had a lengthy response ending with: For these ... reasons, I have no intention of complying with the Order and encourage you to continue to work with the Legislature on passing a budget and with my office to ensure we have sufficient funds to meet the State's financial obligations and pay for the education, health, and public safety programs Californians expect and deserve."
Personally, I think the Governor never believed this would actually happen; it's a gesture to shame the legislature and rouse the masses who can't read between the lines to pummel their representative in Sacramento to stop posturing, take their jobs seriously, and perform the duties they were hired to perform.
