I'm reading that California is trying to plug a $24 billion hole in the budget. Yet, the story afterwards describes the many campaign contributions our Governor Davis has been receiving, both legally and illegally. It won't be much but why not use the campaign contributions to help plug the budget hole?

Plus, good news is coming out of Downtown, San Jose that is. The old Pavilion theatres are opening back up. Its closing was reminiscent of the Baltimore Colts, who moved to Indianapolis in the middle of the night in a Mayflower truck. United Artists basically did the same thing. Now, the people who own the Plaza theatres in Campbell are opening the screens back up. Good luck to them. Hopefully, they know that they won't make any money until downtown has free parking all the time.
