budget direct car insurance:Court Backs Schwarzenegger On Minimum Wage Pay For CA State Employees in July
A state appellate court on Friday sided with the Schwarzenegger administration in its attempt to temporarily impose the federal minimum wage on tens of thousands of state workers. It was not immediately clear how the ruling would affect Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s order a day earlier to pay 200000 state workers the federal minimum of .25 an hour as the state wrestles with a budget crisis. The state controller, who cuts state paychecks, has refused to comply with the order. Friday’s ruling affirms a lower-court decision in favor of the administration in a lawsuit filed two years ago after the governor’s first attempt to impose the minimum wage. The latest ruling from the California 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento concludes that state Controller John Chiang cannot ignore the minimum wage order from the state Department of Personnel Administration. It says “the DPA has the authority to direct the controller to defer salary payments in excess of federally mandated minimum wages when appropriations for the salaries are lacking due to a budget impasse.” However, Controller Chiang says today’s ruling still does not clarify the issue of feasibility. Chiang maintains his office’s computer system cannot perform the change without violating other laws. “This is not a simple software problem. Reducing pay and then restoring it in a timely manner once a budget is enacted cannot be done without gross violations of law unless and until the State completes its overhaul of

    #1..I never said minorities are the only possible victims.
    #2..Any race can be racist against minorities, even minorities. The only people I spoke ill of are racists, which is from personal factual experience. And can bring it up as IS.
    #3.. I’m not the one who brought up race. I was indirectly responding to something dave997 had said but no people are only responding to what I said but not what he said, funny.

  • mw5433 says:

    @MrAubery Your posts sound a little racist because they all single out “minorities” as the only possible victims which leaves only whites to be the only possible perps of racism. And that is racist on your part. Stop separating us by minority / non- minority or what ever else, we are all just human. Your bringing it up in a place where it does not belong is racist
    .P.S. I have been to many majority owned businesses with minority employees’ but I have not seen too many the other way around.

  • MrAubery says:

    @Mrcharliebobo The only people I spoke against were racists. I don’t see why you have a problem with that. Should I be FOR racists?!?!? Look through the comments and tell me what race I spoke against?! Can you?! Of course you CAN’T because it never happened. Why are you accusing me of something I didn’t do?! Only a MORON would do that.

  • Mrcharliebobo says:

    @MrAubery – Its assclowns like you that keep up the divisions between people!!! and for your info there’s only one race, it’s called the Human race!!!! so you can take your racist bullshit some where else!! ASSCLOWN!!! Stop trying to sell your BRAWNDO to America!!!!!

  • MrAubery says:

    @Mrcharliebobo I spoke FOR minorities & I am a minority. How is that racist?!?!?! What race did I speak against?!?!? Still waiting…….

  • Mrcharliebobo says:

    @MrAubery – DAMN!!!! You couldn’t be anymore racist!!!! Go spread your hate someplace else!!! We don’t want it in the United States of America!!!!!.. you sloppy bitch!!!!

  • MrAubery says:

    @Mrcharliebobo What race did I speak against?!?!?!?!?
    Still waiting……

  • Mrcharliebobo says:

    @MrAubery – Exactly what a racist asspuppet would say!!!…So… Keep drinking the BRAWNDO!! you racist fuckpuppet!!!

  • MrAubery says:

    @Mrcharliebobo are you an idiot? You must be. I spoke of no race or spoke any racist remarks against anyone. If so, what race was I talking about?!?!?!? Either you can’t see that I actually spoke FOR minorities or you just can’t read. You made an ASS CLOWN of YOURSELF.

  • Mrcharliebobo says:

    @MrAubery – Spew your racist bullshit some place else!!!! assclown!!!

  • Taxidriver987 says:

    I think you need to get some money back from the criminal offshore banksters who have been and still are robbing you blind, and are bankrupting you by design.

  • MrAubery says:

    Off the subject a little, dave997 down there is an idiot. We still have so many racist business owners who don’t hire because of skin color while teaching their kids racism, whom all complain that minorities are on welfare. What a never ending catch 22. It’s really sad to see people trying to keep others down when you never know, maybe one of those minorities could’ve made an invention that saves lives but you hold others back & teach others to also. It doesn’t get any worse, oh wait, they breed

  • daddyg321 says:

    The pay cut starts at the top and works down,like it should right. Leading by example isn’t the best way it’s the only way,but we don’t have leaders we have slave masters.

  • stewartx5 says:

    THIS IS POLITICS. Schwarzenegger is using state’s working-class employees (police, fire, maintenance, social workers, etc) as pawns to force legislature to approve budget he wants. Meanwhile, employees, in already bad economy, will miss rent, loan payments, and more – all geared to previous income, not reduced income. Disregard for working class is why many are now angry at government. Same disregard drives government to ignore impact on workers from illegal & excessive legal immigration.

    State Cal trans workers will have to buy Mexican drug cartel weed for a whole month.

  • Rohkus says:

    Less pay for the workers more spending for the military?
    Can’t beat them? Join them!

  • dave997 says:

    this is what happens when u got a bunch of niggers and illegal mexicans sucking off the government tits all their lives just creating a burden for society. No business wants to be in CA because of the taxes there and that whole state and our whole country for that matter is going to implode, what will all the fat greedy american trash do then??

  • WizzleThump says:

    @OzzyPatriot I’ll agree with you that he should NOT just cut it all of a sudden 75% overnight as it will send families to the streets.

    However, I do agree they should get paid minimum wage, as well as all state, city and federal employees should.

    As we don’t want greedy sons of bitches running our cities, states or country!

  • OzzyPatriot says:

    @WizzleThump Aww. Sorry. That’s just my Ozzy sense of humor. Let me explain.

    YOU get your wage cut by 75%. You loose your house, in despair, your wife leaves you, takes the kids and you’re left in a caravan park, paying child support and drinking yourself to death on home brewed whiskey. I laugh my ass off.

    But if that happened to me, I’d piss my pants like a little girl and probably slash my wrists.

    So. Now that you understand the Ozzy sense of humor. I hope we can still be friends.

  • WizzleThump says:

    @OzzyPatriot You lost me at the end there, I’m firmly against the racist group La Raza, but government jobs are a public service, and union fat cats have made the greedy people go to our government to “serve” for a cushy job with great pay.

    Screw goverment workers who would leave because they aren’t doing it as public service, but for the wage it brang them!

  • OzzyPatriot says:

    @WizzleThump Yeah. I guess people have been pretty greedy wanting to live better and such. Thank God the banks will let these public service fat-cats pay 75% less on their home loans! Phew. Otherwise, there could be another housing market crash as delinquent public service big shots loose there state paid mansions. Dam greedy scum! I can’t wait til the illegals do their cushy gov. jobs for $7 per day. That’ll learn em! Viva La Raza! LKower wages FOR ALL YANKS ! whoo hooo!

  • WizzleThump says:

    @OzzyPatriot Same here, but it’s called public service because you’re supposed to make DRASTICALLY less than the private sector. However, unions have changed that over the last 30 years, and now public employees in California make more than the average private sector worker.

    EVERY state and federal employee needs to be on minimum wage… Doing that restores balance and also fixes budget problems!

  • OzzyPatriot says:

    @WizzleThump Thanks for the info man!

    Dunno whether I hate him more or less now. So I’ll leave it to the people he’s taking 75% off. If they loose their homes etc, riot and assassinate his ass, I’d have to respect their decision.
