"God is the one who raised the heavens without pillars you can see, then mounted the throne and subjected the sun and the moon: each runs for a determined period. God arranges the order and elucidates the signs, so you may be certain of meeting your Lord"(Quran - 13:2)
Our golden state is not golden any more. We owe ourselves and others a whopping $25.4 billion for the upcoming year. Last week, Governor Jerry Brown released hisfirst budget proposal to the Legislature for consideration. This draft budget includes a total of $12.5 billion in deep cuts to health and human services and higher education. The question for the day - Is budgeting a moral document? Also, can we have all the options on the table and not just cutting the services for children and seniors - the two most vulnerable group of Californians. Call your legislator to share your perspective and not be a silent citizen.
