Lawmakers' failure to close the state's $26 billion budget deficit is taking a direct shot at state employees as Governor Schwarzenegger shuts down state offices. We'll tell you when offices will be closed and what Local 1000 is doing to fight the furloughs.

Local 1000 attorneys will know later this week whether some state employees will be exempt from furloughs. We'll tell you which employees could be out of the furlough mix.

Plus, IOU's going out to pay the state's bills and a preview of Early Edition, the new morning show on Channel 1000.

http://warongreed.org/ Henry Kravis is a billionaire, the 57th richest person in America. He acquired this wealth by purchasing public companies with borrowed money. To pay off the debt, he cuts benefits at the company, sells its assets, and lays off employees.

This get-rich-quick scheme made him $450 million last year. Meanwhile, his tax rate is lower than teachers, firemen, nurses, even his own cleaning staff!

Yet everyday we hear another story, we live another experience, we see another example of the horrific economic pain our country is being devastated by.

It's time all of us started a WAR ON GREED. http://warongreed.org/
