STATE OF CALIFORNIA OFFICIALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THE EXISTENCE OF THE MONEY FAIRY

by Bob Walsh

The Governor of the formerly great state of California signed the $202 billion dollar budget yesterday.  The budget is unusual in that it acknowledges the existence of magical creatures, specifically the Money Fairy.

The budget is resumed to have a $54 billion structural deficit.  Among the things to plug this deficit is the state will withhold $2.5 billion from local governments if they do not enforce the Governor's rules on mandatory wearing of masks while in public.  Strange, but he screams like a mashed cat if the feds threaten to withhold federal money when the state refuses to obey federal law regarding immigration matters.  

The state is also deferring kick-downs to various agencies, mostly school districts and state colleges and universities.  

The state will also impose a 2 day per month furlough on state employees to don't "volunteer" to take it up the ass by way of a 10% pay cut.  

The really fun part is the planned visit from the Money Fairy.  The governor sort-of presumes-hopes-prays that the Money Fairy will come by from D.C. and drop about $50 billion in his lap just because.  You never know.  It could happen.
