A 266 page budget proposal was released by Gov .Jerry Brown on Jan 10 for California. Fingers are crossed with high expectations as things are looking to come up after recession.
Some of the key features of the proposal are
* Strong explanation for reducing or increasing the allowances or realigning the responsibilities
* As of now proposals are only for financial term of 2011-12 & it might change in coming years
* Change in policies has been mentioned in proposal
With revenue of 2010-11 falling short of expectation by $3.1 billion, the projections for year 2011-12 is $25.4 billion.
Some of the state sponsored institutes & programs are facing with massive cut in their allowances. These include Medi-cal, California’ s welfare-to work- program , University of California, Department of development services , state operation & employee compensation. Medi-cal being the biggest casualty by facing a cut of $1.7 billion.
It’s also proposing to borrow some funds from Property Tax Shift & “Special Funds”.
More responsibilities will be aligned to respective counties. They will be accountable for Child Welfare Services, Adult protective services, funds of court security. They will be also provided support in terms of Fund s for alcohol & drug rehabilitation.
One of the areas of concern in the age of global warming is cut of $12.8 million towards Environmental protection. Local governments will be in charge of fire protection & medical help in forest & wildlife areas, by doing so they will be saving the funds required for Fourth Fighter of CAL FIRE.
Education is another area not having much change; K-12 allowances are still the same from previous budget. A cut of S1.7 billion towards total funding of General fund for higher education.
This being just a preview of the budget, you can go through PDF of the proposal uploaded at governor’s website Ebudget.Ca.Gov/
Hope everyone from California is able to digest this Budget Menu.

Another Vehicle stuck at Land End Ford
Yet another warning issued to the drivers going towards Ford at Lands End near Charvil. The warning was issued by the fire brigade after another motorist got stuck this morning at 7:30 am. He was stuck in the ford where the old river crosses the Park Lane.
The motorist immediately called for the fire fighters but the man was told to call for his own vehicle recovery system to get his car removed from the area as there is nothing the fire fighters could do. The man was safe and out of his vehicle due to which the fire fighters refused to help and advised him to call for his own vehicle recovery system.
Nicole Targett from the Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service was amazed on how people still wish to drive though the Ford even after several warnings already issued from the Fir Rescue Team. Thus they have issued another warning after today’s incident. Even before entering the area there is a mark which shows how deep the water is. Currently the level is at 3 to 4ft which is not at all under normal driving conditions. And just next to the water mark there is a sign board warning the drivers about the severe condition. Currently there is a strong current running through the ford.
But this warning does not seem to help. She also added that in today’s incident they clearly refused to remove the vehicle was because the man was safe and he was already warned about his own mishap. She also said that they remove the vehicle only if the people inside the vehicle are not safe or if there is something on the vehicle which is of environment risk.
She sounded extremely concerned when she informed us on how the fire rescue team saved a women’s life last year while she was drowning. She says it is not about the vehicle you are risking by driving through 4ft deep water but due to the new technology you are risking your own life by trapping yourself in the vehicle.
