Schwarzenegger Defends Asia Trip Amid Budget Deadlock
California’s Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger defended his week-long business trip to Asia as needed to research high-speed rail options even as the state operates without a budget
“In each one of the countries that we go to, which is China, Japan and Korea, we are going to ride high speed rail and they all are going to be part of the bidding process in California,” Schwarzenegger said at the Netrepreneur Summit in Hangzhou, China, today. “It would be a mistake for California to think we can do high-speed rail ourselves.”
Hangzhou is Schwarzenegger’s first stop on a week-long trade mission to China, Japan and South Korea, even as he and state lawmakers fail to agree on how to eliminate a $19.1 billion deficit before the state runs out of cash. State lawmakers including Noreen Evans of Santa Rosa have called on Schwarzenegger to postpone the trip...

BREAKING NEWS: Judge says Schwarzenegger can’t impose new furloughs
An Alameda County Superior Court judge Monday temporarily barred Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger from imposing new furloughs on state workers beginning Friday.
Judge Steven A. Brick ruled after hearing more than two hours of arguments over the governor's demand that about 144,000 state employees take unpaid time off.
The judge granted a temporary restraining order, saying that it appears that the governor's executive order is inconsistent with various provisions of state law...

The State Worker: Schwarzenegger’s latest furloughs pick winners and losers
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's Wednesday furlough order did something different: It picked winners and losers.True, his earlier furloughs and this one exempt the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and the California Highway Patrol. Schwarzenegger considers them key public safety organizations and didn't want to dilute their resources.But his new order exempts six other departments. That's significant because the governor has always said that, to be fair, furloughs should be applied across the board...

Furlough Alert - July 28, 2010
WEST SACRAMENTO — Along with the other bargaining units in the state, CCPOA was notified a short while ago that Governor Schwarzenegger will render an Executive Order imposing 3 furlough days per month beginning with the August pay period that will impact employees’ September 1 pay check. This Executive Order is in effect until a new budget is in place.
DPA made note of all groups that will be exempt from the furloughs, including special funded agencies and public safety employees. However, CDCR employees were NOT INCLUDED in this exemption as public safety employees. DPA stated the furlough impositions are a direct result of a worsening budget situation and a state that is running out of cash.
We will post the declaration on the CCPOA website as soon as we receive it. Please stay tuned to CCPOA website for updates.
For more information please contact JeVaughn Baker at (916) 372-6060 or jevaughn.baker@ccpoa.org
OFFICIAL EXECUTIVE ORDER: S-12-10 @ www.gov.ca.gov
OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION: #15693 @ www.gov.ca.gov
Note: Proclamation title says "State of Emergency - Kern County Wildfires" but the subject is the budget/furloughs.

Court adds more time to minimum wage clock
A Sacramento Superior Court hearing today wound up pushing back the date for when attorneys will again debate whether Controller John Chiang must issue minimum wage paychecks to state workers. The upshot: No minimum wage for state workers now at least through September, and quite possibly well beyond that.
Instead, "other issues" will be discussed and "the infeasibility argument will take place some time in the future," said Ryan Endean, spokesman for PECG and CAPS, two of the unions that have supported Chiang's position...
