I expect all hell to break loose over this. Does California's Controller even have this authority?
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - California's controller says he will begin a 30-day delay on tax refunds and other payments starting Feb. 1 because the state is running out of money.
Controller John Chiang said Friday he must delay $3.7 billion in payments next month because lawmakers have failed to address California's growing deficit.
With a $41.6 billion shortfall over the next year-and-a-half, the state is on the brink of issuing IOUs.

At least it is a demokrat who gets to take the heat for decades of demokratic budget wizards in kalifornia. Keeping this money out of the hands of kalifornia residents is anti-stimulative and will only dig them deeper.

No Vince, as you well know he inherited his post from a failed and disgraced demokrat, and has to work with a demokrat-led legislature that holds all responsibility for the budget and spending. Nice try though.

OMG...Schwartznegger has been governor of CA for how many years? And he still hasnt inherited the CA economy as his own? You republikans really are adverse to responsibility.
