Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today ordered his administration to lay off thousands of part-time state workers and to work with the state controller to temporarily slash the pay of most full-time employees to the federal minimum wage of $6.55 an hour.

About 10,300 part-time employees will receive pink slips starting today, the governor's aides said.

Schwarzenegger says a 2003 State Supreme Court decision requires the pay cuts for most of the 200,000 full-time state employees in the absence of a budget. He wants the cuts to take effect immediately; they would show up in pay checks at the end of August.


HE MUST BE CRAZY
I HOPE HE DOES NOT WANT TO GET RE ELECTED!!!!
