If I remember correctly, that is MI that has the highest unemployment rate...though that may have changed.

Forcing state employees to take days off. Closing state run offices such as the DMV and offices that issue permits on Friday's. Charging small business who rent office space a use tax, on top of the other taxes that they pay the state. And I believe that California has the highest unemployment rate in the nation (ill have to check on that further but I believe this is still true). So yeah, California may be required by law to run a balanced budget, but at what cost? Forcing employees to take days off thus reducing their paycheck is not a good idea to me. And remember, I am still a Californian and I do vote in all of the local and state elections as well as vote as a registered California voter in national elections. Although I may not live there due to the fact that I am stationed in Colorado, as long as I am a resident of California and as long as I am a registered voter in California, I will continue to cast my absentee ballots to elect officials and pass or reject bills that I feel are beneficial to the state. > > On Sat, Jun 5, 2010 at 5:12 AM, Maureen <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > California is not bankrupt.
