Economic, political context $19.3 billion budget gap was addressed General Fund spending held at $86.6 billion • Was $86.3 billion in 2009-10 • Was $103 billion in 2007-08 Governor required two things: • Budget reform • Pension “reform”

Cuts Employee compensation = - $1.557 billion • Pension “reform” a big factor • Local 1000 contract = - $386.9 million (24.8%) 5% workforce reduction = - $450 million
And more cuts K-12 Education = - $4.3 billion CDCR medical costs = - $820 million Additional cuts to: • IHSS, MediCal, Child Welfare Services, etc.
Federal funds This budget counts on $5.4 billion in fed funds • Only $1.3 billion is guaranteed so far • (temporary increase in Medi-Cal matching funds) The state is also banking on: • $1 billion in fed funding for special education • Over $3 billion in fed funding for FMAP, Medicare, Medi-Cal Financing waivers, etc.
“Other solutions” = $5.5 billion Some are helpful: • Extending the suspension of the NOL and delaying carrybacks • Making permanent the “use tax” line • Allowing BOE to enhance collections
“Other solutions” …and some are more of the same gimmicks: • Selling and leasing back 11 state buildings • Scoring $1 billion for adjusted revenue estimates • A number of “fund shifts” and loans
