The Sacramento Bee has a nice summary of proposed budget cuts and revenue enhancements in the Brown budget plan at http://www.sacbee.com/2011/01/05/3301715/state-budget-costs.html
There are photos with captions for each action. The info is in the captions. Note: The first photo puts the “deficit” at around $26 billion. Unfortunately, the word is misused in state budget-speak. It is a mix of past negative reserve in the general fund, current problems, and a workload problem for next year if no policy changes.
Maybe the cartoon is a better summary. It comes from calbuzz.com.
