Sacramento --

California faces deep midyear cuts to its universities, community colleges, social service programs and public schools - which may have their year shortened - because the state will collect billions of dollars less in revenue than expected, according to a report released Wednesday.

The report by the Legislative Analyst's Office says the state faces a budget deficit in the current fiscal year largely because it will collect only $300 million of $4 billion that Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature added to the budget just days before it was approved in June. Critics had called the sudden infusion of projected revenue "phantom money" that was conjured to avoid deeper spending cuts.

The report says California also faces a budget deficit in the 2012-13 fiscal year of $13 billion, though that is significantly less than what the state has faced in prior years of the economic downturn.

The current revenue projection does not ensure the automatic cuts will be made, as it is one of two revenue reports that will be used to make that determination. The second report will come from the Department of Finance next month, and administration officials will select the rosier of the two projections to decide whether the cuts will take place on Jan. 1.

The director of the Department of Finance, Ana Matosantos, will make the final determination by Dec. 15. In a statement, Matosantos said, "Some level of trigger cuts will likely occur, but the exact amount will be known in December."

Overall, the analyst found that the state will collect $84.8 billion in revenue for this entire fiscal year while the enacted budget relied on $88.5 billion in revenue. Mac Taylor, the legislative analyst, said the Finance Department's projections could be as much as $2 billion higher or lower than his office's numbers.

If department officials conclude that the state will indeed bring in more money, cuts to K-12 public schools and community colleges may be avoided.

Just-in-case cuts
Brown negotiated the automatic cuts as part of the budget in case the $4 billion failed to materialize.

Gil Duran, Brown's spokesman, said, "California's budget gap is the result of a decade of poor fiscal choices and a global recession. This year, we cut the problem in half. Next year, we'll continue to make the tough choices necessary until the problem is solved."

The automatic spending cuts are separated into two tiers, and because the projections are so dire, most of the cuts planned in both tiers would be likely under the legislative analyst's projection.

The first tier, just over $600 million, includes $100 million in cuts each to the University of California and California State University systems.

Also impacted would be services for people with developmental disabilities and the In-Home Supportive Services program. Both also would take a $100 million cut.

Many other services face multimillion-dollar reductions, including state grants for local libraries and state-sponsored child care.

The second tier of cuts could include up to $1.4 billion to K-12 schools and might mean reducing the school year by several days and eliminating school buses. Community colleges also would take a $72 million cut.

Bickering returns
Lawmakers reacted sharply to the analyst's projections, with many Republicans saying it proves the ruling Democrats passed a gimmick-filled budget that failed to control spending, while several Democrats called for the Legislature to work with the governor to find ways to avoid making the midyear cuts.

Democrats also said voters need to approve additional taxes in next fall's election. Brown is expected to announce plans for a ballot initiative in the near future.

"Today's numbers make it clear that the state's first priority must be to get to the ballot in November and raise needed revenues to avoid any more damage to Californians," said Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento. "The notion of cutting deeper into education, public safety and services for those in need is unthinkable. I imagine an overwhelming majority of Californians agree."

Republicans said they weren't surprised by the call for taxes.

"Anyone could have predicted that it would take legislative Democrats less than five minutes to say they plan to sidestep the trigger cuts they voted for and raise taxes instead," said Sen. Bob Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga (San Bernardino County).

No Republicans voted in June for the budget, which included deep cuts to higher education and social and health services.

As California grapples with its latest fiscal fiasco, officials do not know how the congressional debt-reduction supercommittee's actions will impact the state. They could significantly help or hurt the budget, though the impacts probably won't be felt for another year.

这个文章绝大部分内容是关于加州今年及明后年预算大幅削减的内容,包括议会两党的争论等等。就不翻译了,我只翻译重要的部分。


加州各大学、社区学院、社会服务项目以及各公立中小学的经费面临大幅削减。因为根据周三公布的报告,加州今年的税收比预期少几十亿美元。

为了应付税收缺口,加州将不得不削减各项预算开支,削减预算的措施包括:

减少对加州大学和加州州立大学各1亿美元投入。

减少对残疾人帮助项目的1亿美元投入。

减少对12年级制的中小学校14亿美元的投入;减少每个学期上课时间;终止校车。

萨克拉门托的消息

星期三的一份报告指出,由于税收收入相比于政府预期出现了数以十亿计的缺口,加州属下的公立大学,社区学校,社会服务计划,以及中小学正在面临财政预算削减的困境——这意味着它们的寿命可能会因此缩短

因为在六月通过的由加州州长布朗和州议会批准的40亿(美元,下同)追加预算仅仅只能实现其中的3亿,加州政府将要在本财年面临巨额的财政赤字。评论家们把这笔试图避免削减开支的紧急追加预算税收收入戏称为“幽灵资金”。

该报告同样指出加州在2012-13财政年度也要面临130亿美元的财政赤字,尽管这个数字并没有在几年前经济低潮时的大。

现在的这份预测报告不一定就意味着要削减开支,毕竟它只是将要用于做出决策的两份报告的其中一份。第二份报告会在下个月由加州财政局发出,届时政府将会采用较为乐观的一份报告来决定是否在明年一月进行开支削减。

财政局负责人Ana Matosantos将会在12月15日之前作出最终决定。她说,“将会削减一系列的开支,但是准确的数字只有到12月才知道”。

分析家指出加州在今年整个财政年度能够获得848亿的收入,但是预算的数额是885亿。
立法分析家(legislative analyst这个词是这样译吧?)Mac Taylor说财政局的预算和他的预测数字大概会相差20亿。

如果政府官员们的结论是州政府能确实得到更多的收入,公立的中小学(按:k-12是美国基础教育的统称。“K12”中的“K”代表 Kindergarten(幼儿园),“12”代表 12 年级(相当于我国的高三)。)便能逃过预算被削减的厄运。

假如预算削减

布朗曾经提议过把削减开支作为万一不能实现40亿额外收入的备选预算方案。

州长办公室发言人Gil Duran说,“加州的预算缺口是过去十年全球衰退和一系列错误财政决策的结果。今年我们把问题解决了一半,明年我们将继续做出艰难的决定(tough choices,我真的不是要吐槽的)直到加州不差钱为止。”

自动削减的开支分为两个级别;另外由于这个预算是如此的庞大,很多开支的削减看起来会在立法分析家的预料之中。

第一个级别,总额稍高于6亿元的开支,包括加州大学(加大伯克利分校等)和加州州立大学(旧金山州立大学等)系统的各1亿元的拨款削减。
(译者吐槽:X他大爷的,还好我早两年前毕业了……)

同样受到影响的还有为残疾人士而设的一些公共服务和为年老长者设立的住家护理服务。这两个服务同样遭受各1亿元的拨款削减。

其他公共服务也面临数百万的拨款削减,包括为社区图书馆和加州政府资助的托儿服务。

第二个级别的削减包括总计高达14亿元的基础教育开支削减,这意味着可能会把学年的程度缩短若干天并且取消学校的校车服务。社区大学得到的拨款也会减少7200万。
(加粗的原因是免得又有人说标题党……)




下面的就懒得翻译了,大意就是那些议会里的议员老爷们又一次因为钱的问题继续党派之争……真蛋疼。

这是暗示私立学校的校车服务不由政府补贴么?
私立学校校车补贴肯定是有的,不过既然公立学校的校车服务取消了,与其捆绑的补贴也就没了。
