Antonovich Warns of 'Rocky Future'

Michael Antonovich, the Los Angeles County Supervisor who represents Monrovia and much of the San Gabriel Valley, is warning that local governments may be in for serious trouble. On Twitter he writes this series of posts:
 
"California's projected deficit has ballooned to $25.4 billion -- a direct result of budget being built on a house of cards.
 
"This deficit will severely impact every county, city and school district in the state.
 
"We are all in for a rocky future -- especially if the state expects the federal gov't to come to its rescue by just printing money
 
"The State and all local gov'ts will be forced to review all labor agreements and commit to provide only funded mandated programs"
