CA State rehab program for the mentally ill homeless cut.( LA Times)
We got our state budget passed,
but at what price?

SACRAMENTO -- Making good on a promise to trim the state budget, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger eliminated a $55-million program Friday that advocates say has helped thousands of mentally ill homeless people break the costly cycle of hospitalization, jails and street life.

The program was one of many high-profile initiatives left in the ashes of the Legislature's bitter budget dispute, which stalled Sacramento for much of the last two months.


Yet, a 45 million dollar tax break for yacht owners passed.

Something is very rotten in the state of California.
