California is doing what they need to, to survive as a state, you can bet this will be a future trend coming to your state soon.
A San Francisco Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday that the Schwarzenegger administration acted legally when it enforced a new law that eliminated two former state holidays — including Lincoln's Birthday next week.
The state attorneys' union had sued the governor's Department of Personnel Administration for carrying out a law passed nearly a year ago eliminating Lincoln's Birthday, Feb. 12, and Columbus Day, the second Monday in October, as paid holidays for state employees.
The change cut the number of paid state holidays from 14 to 12.
"We agree with today's ruling," said Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Rachel Arrezola. "It doesn't make sense for state employee unions to fight to go from 12 holidays to 14 in today's economy, when the rest of state government and the private sector is cutting back."
