A question for CA Gov. Candidates

[CarlBallard]

Some reporter should ask this: Here is the budget for health and human services proposed by Grey Davis (.pdf-pretty big). Explain to me what's going on in the first 10 pages? Would you change anything, and if so what?

It seems to me that anyone who wants to be Governor of the largest state in the nation ought to be able to read a budget. Here in Washington, the Seattle School Board, lost 35 million bucks in large part because they couldn't read a budget. Basically I think people who run for any office have an obligation to learn what the hell the're doing before they put their names on the ballot. But there is a special need when you're trying to be the governor of the most important state in the nation.
