California expected to cut 20,000 state jobs

Although California State Senate worked overnight to come up with a budget compromise, the state legislator failed to come up with a compromise to solve the state’s $42 billion budget shortfall. The governor held off in firing state employees in the hopes that a budget compromise would emerge, but it is expected that 20,000 state employees would lose their job in order to protect the state of California’s financial crisis.

This is a terrible situation for everybody in the state of California. Many of the state’s critical services would be severely limited and 20,000 hard working state employees will be unemployed. I am not quite sure the complete politicking mechanism within California’s state government, but I clearly see this as a failure of leadership. Never mind that; we are talking about 20,000 real hardworking Americans who are going to lose their jobs.
