California lawmakers must forfeit their pay as of mid-June because the budget they passed last week, which Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed less than 24 hours later, was not balanced,the state controller said.
Since last week, Controller John Chiang, a Democrat, has been pondering whether to pay lawmakers. They passed budget legislation on June 15, meeting their constitutional deadline for only the second time in a quarter-century, but their plan relied heavily on accounting schemes to paper over the state's deficit. In his veto message, Brown said he could not sign such a plan.
Chiang, who issues the state's paychecks, said that it wasn't sufficient to keep their pay coming.
