Today is the first day of California’s 2010-11 fiscal year and nobody is surprised even one iota that, once again, we enter it without a budget in place. The Assembly and Senate each held floor sessions today, voted on some bills, and adjourned for a month. The Leadership of the 2 Houses will apparently stay in Sacramento, along with a few key Members of the Budget Committees, to try to make some of the decisions that have to be made. But as of today, the State has no authority to pay many of its bills.
The Association is supported by three categories of membership:
-
Program Members,
-
Supportive Business Members, and
-
Individual Members.
