    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.

PARKS* AND WENDY MARIE LAYBOURN** The common narrative about African Americans’ quest for social justice and civil rights during the twentieth century consists, largely, of men and women working through organizations to bring about change. The typical list of organizations includes, inter alia, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National Urban League, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. What are almost never included in this list are African American collegiate-based fraternities.
