Hop on that train FY23

While the hiring continues in anticipation of over 1500 retirements, newly created positions, the expiring MOU for rank & file and the agreeded upon and future costs associated with the new 66hr work week costs.
The great badge giveaway train is leaving the station for the foreseeable future.

Dang. So you are saying they are slowing down hiring? Or after this round/year of hiring the train station wonât be having many tickets anymore?
Read the article
âFiscal Emergencyâ already being talked about.
If that happens, the existing budget gets reopened.
In dollars, the projected shortfall is over $15 billion worse than the worst on record (2019/2020- 2020/2021) the Covid-19 budget. But as a percentage of the total budget, not even close to the worst.
At the end of the day, budgets matter. As a wise Sage once said âthese things and people donât work for magic beansâ

You mean the great Governor Hair Gel ran Caâs budget into the ground? Or, did the great super majority running the show give to much tax payer money, health care away to those not here in a legal fashion? Foolâs Gold policies and free spending w/ the great Ca giveawayâs, and the great working American man canât get any of it! Something is amiss here and it starts with the party in control of Ca.

Yes,
The list does not contain enough people willing to work where the jobs are being offered.
The population of California is unbalanced towards Southern California. While the job offers are in North California and not enough people willing to work where the jobs are being offered.

Seems this letter should have been issued after the 1st billion in debt, not 68 billion. Unfortunately, public safety will take a big hit! We know who the grinch that stole Christmas, and taxpayers money is, Newsom and his Dem. elves.

Iâm not convinced that there will be drastic public safety cuts like weâve seen in the past. The last two budgets, IIRC, included a lot of new positions, aircraft and tech, compared to previous budgets, and Iâm not sure that the supermajority, or the Governorâs office, is going to argue that a deficit largely caused by natural disaster should be met by reducing the Stateâs ability to respond to the next one. (and Iâm pretty certain CAGOP stray cats like Larry Elder will fail on that argument, as well.)
More likely, I think, the rate of expansion will slow down, with fewer new positions, fewer experimental tech projects, no new aircraft, and a significant number of pet projects will have to be cut from the State budget.
AFAIK, CalFire is in a pretty good position to weather this budget issue.
It doesnât, necessarily, mean funding for your project isnât out there, but that the State needs to pay the bills generated by Piper, and perhaps (just speculating); find ways to recover costs â the ridiculous gas price gouging that happened last summer, for example â before embarking on the next âmoon shotâ. Discretionary costs may, or may not, account for everything, but clearly there will be little to no room for impulse spending until the deficit is cleared.
If you donât believe this deficit is mostly a consequence of Piper, then, well, I donât know what to tell you.
