Where Is Plan B for the California State Budget?
WILSON’S WOES SHOULD KEEP US ON OUR TOES: WHERE IS PLAN B FOR THE CALIFORNIA STATE BUDGET? Daniel J.B. Mitchell Hosu Wu Professor, UCLA Anderson School of Management Distinguished Professor of Public Policy, UCLA School of Public Affairs “Peoples and governments never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.” Friedrich Hegel 1 In past editions of California Policy Options, we have traced the path of the California state budget through the crisis that led to the 2003 recall of Governor Gray Davis and the abortive attempt by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger at institutional reform by initiative in 2005. We have also called on history to illuminate earlier budgetary crises and fiscal policies. In particular, two episodes seemed especially significant in light of recent events. First, we noted Governor Earl Warren’s insistence after World War II in maintaining a “rainy day fund” to deal with inevitable future downturns in state revenues. Warren – who we noted started the modern California freeway system – insisted that even the freeways (a longlived capital project) should be financed on a payasyougo basis through an earmarked gasoline tax. Warren had lived through the Great Depression when fiscal turmoil affected both the tax and expenditure systems and produced ongoing deficits and borrowing. 2 Second, we noted Governor Reagan’s failed attempt to persuade voters to endorse a complex budget control initiative with some similarities to the Schwarzenegger effort of 2005. In this chapter, we follow the same approach, focusing on current issues and then lessons from the past. -

The first part of the study proviaes a historical account of the emergence of the national compulsory attendance movement in the 19th century, and the corresponding growth of early childhood education. In the second part of the report, extensive case studies of five states (West Virginia, California, New Mexico, Ohio, and Georgia) that initiated kindergarten legislation between 1971 and 1973 are presented. Considered in each state case study are such issues as: (1) rationales that state policy makers have used to support early childhood education policy initiatives, (2) background of the reform, (3) response to proposed legislation,(4) development of the change, (5) opposition to the reform, and (6) legislative leadership necessary to effect the change. Social, political, fiscal, and research rationales of the reform legislation are discussed and compared. -
