While the exact amount of the states budget shortfall is being debated, there is no debate about its magnitude: its huge. Governor Davis and the Legislature have a tough row to hoe to balance the budget, but they also have an opportunity to look at reforms that could prevent the state from being in such a bind in the future. MIR is pleased to present this interview with Fred Silva, Senior Advisor, Governmental Relations at the Public Policy Institute of California, in which he discusses whats at stake for California in this critical budget cycle.
