Skelton: California lawmakers aren’t fooling anyone with budget charade

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 07:29:43 GMT

The California Legislature has passed another so-called on-time state budget. Wink, wink. It’s barely a half-baked budget.Voters in 2010 passed a ballot measure that required lawmakers to adopt an annual budget by June 15 or they wouldn’t be paid.Ever since, they’ve followed the letter of the law, but not the spirit. On party-line votes, they’ve passed the broad outline of a budget before their deadline, but without the needed details on many disputed items.In the Capitol, it’s dubbed the “paycheck” budget.The negotiated nitty-gritty comes later in “trailer” bills. And dollar amounts are updated in a “budget junior” that amends the original paycheck version.So, the politicians have found a legal way around the voters’ edict. They still get paid, but it has become common for the budget — that takes effect July 1 — not to be completely wrapped up until late August or even September, at the end of the legislators’ annual session.The truth is, however, that their new budgeting process i...
