"This was an historic session of the Judicial Council, called to make budget decisions for the branch for the current fiscal year, bound to have a dramatic impact on the public. On top of $652 million in cuts in the last 4 years, legislators and the governor chopped the court’s operational funds for this year by an unprecedented $350 million – ongoing cuts – and raided another $310 million from the court construction fund. The council met to decide how to deal with the financial body blow.
Council members acknowledged that there’s more pain to come. If state revenue forecasts don’t meet specified targets by this December, there will be additional cuts early next year."
