From the Sacramento Bee - An Alameda Superior Court judge Monday temporarily barred Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger from imposing new furloughs on state workers beginning Friday. Judge
Steven A. Brick ruled that there are "serious questions" about the legality of the furloughs and that permitting them before a scheduled Sept. 13 court hearing could cause irreparable harm. "The court finds, on the limited record before it, that the balance of hardships tips in favor of petitioners," states Brick's ruling, which is intended to preserve the status quo until both sides have had ample opportunity to press their case. Schwarzenegger, through a spokesman, vowed an immediate appeal to allow his furlough program to begin Friday. "As long as the
Legislature fails to produce a budget and the state faces IOUs, we will do what we must to reduce costs, just as every
California family and business is doing," said
Aaron McLear, Schwarzenegger's spokesman.
