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.
