BBC News - California stops lawmakers' wages until budget balances

BBC News - California stops lawmakers' wages until budget balances: "Elected representatives in California have been told their wages and expenses have been stopped and they will not be paid until the state budget balances.

State Controller John Chiang took the step after determining that the budget approved last week was not balanced.

It is the first time a law brought in last year, to stop California constantly missing its annual budget deadline, has been brought into effect."
