Governor Orders Layoffs and Unpaid Furloughs

In an attempt to address California's fiscal crisis, Governor Schwarzenegger recently announced mass layoffs and unpaid furloughs for state workers starting in February. Under his executive order, more than 200,000 employees will be forced to take off two unpaid days per month through June 30, 2010. Larry talks about the impact of the governor's plan with Sacramento Bee political columnist Dan Walters, Lynelle Jolley of the State Department of Personnel Administration, and Bruce Blanning of the Professional Engineers in California Government.
