Nickeled and Dimed to Death


Well, the California budget propositions all failed yesterday, and suddenly there is talk of layoffs, campus closings, swine flu, and transvestite aliens from outer space.

People (who just yesterday didn't blink at suggesting multimedia productions that might cost tens of thousands of dollars) are now supporting cutting big chunks of content out of our redesign project.

It doesn't take a genius to see where this will all end up. The irony is that we've spent 10 months coming up with all these great ideas, but we won't be able to afford to implement a single one of them. I think maybe I know where all the state money has disappeared to.
