A Fiscal Promise

Share

Re “State Seeks to Reopen Done Deals,” March 22: It is the height of irresponsibility for the state Legislature’s chief attorney to cast doubts upon the enforceability of multiyear pacts with labor unions. If California lacks the authority to enter into multiyear obligations to pay its workers, then it also lacks the authority to enter into multiyear obligations to repay bonds -- and presto, we’re back in the most desperate fiscal crisis in this state’s history.
