Wait - California has a REPUBLICAN governor?  Could'a fooled me.

Seriously, though, this sounds like a load of dimpled chads to me. I'm a
security guy, not a programmer, but even I could probably code the changes
necessary (provided they were in Cobol - I'd need a bit of help with the
Assembler (WAY too rusty on that one, sadly)).  Cripes, there are probably
folks here who could BREADBOARD changes like that without too much of a
problem.

Now, if they're doing all this on a Mac, I could understand their dilemma...

Actually, it sounds like a prepared statement written for a Democratic
Controller who is looking to score points with organized labor, at the
expense of a Republican governator.
