You've probably heard that some California counties are fuming over the new state budget, which borrows $4 billion from county budgets and will mean major cuts in local services from health care to public works. Rich Gordon of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors says this budget will, once put in practice, "fall apart."

Paul MacIntosh of the California Association of Counties speaks to Cy Musiker on KQED in the audio report below about the counties that are considering suing the state over this new budget, which they say violates the state constitution. They claim that two things -- the extension of redevelopment area time limits by one year and the diversion of gas taxes -- violate state law, and they're fucking pissed. Now, obviously the money had to come from somewhere, and some creative accounting had to come into play. But can we get back to the issue that the San Mateo County guy brings up in this broadcast -- namely that these cuts will mean more homeless and mentally ill on the streets? Is that even possible in San Francisco? Like, aren't they all here already?
