On Sunday the Bee began a seven-day series of editorials on the revised state budget legislators passed last week and the future of state government. We will examine how the new spending plan will affect the services Californians receive from their government. And in each piece, we will also look at what the Legislature did not do, suggesting long-term reforms that could improve service, reduce costs and stabilize the state's fiscal condition. Here is the schedule:
Sunday: Tough choices ahead
Monday: The state work force
Tuesday: Schools
Wednesday: Health and welfare
Thursday: Prisons and higher education
Friday: Taxes and parks
Saturday: Budget reform
