After 13 months, Tree Sit Ends

thanks, tree-sitters. i'm sad today.

wow, that was quick. negotiations end, and like a proverbial keystone kop movie, the tree-sitters come down, mere hours before the axes start swinging. coincidence? hmmm...

a fist in the air and a howl to the skies for ya!!! you fought well against a mighty enemy and hopefully learned lots for the battles still to come..

So - has any budget information been sent back to the schools regarding infrastructure funding? There can probably be multiple sources of funding for buildings, but in the last couple months, there have been dire reports about how the state is in debt for a sum far larger than the entire UC and community college system. They're going to have to cut all sorts of necessary services.

Here, the Financial Times is talking about how California's municipal bonds are downgraded because the state could default. Major projects like levees, bridges, schools are being cut.

California might have a $41b deficit over 1.5 years!! In comparison - the entire state budget of Nevada is $7billion, and our state budget is $140b
