The same story from the nytimes:

with a twist:

<quote>
Even before his remarks to the Legislature, Mr. Chiang, a Democrat, had
made no secret of his dislike for the order by Mr. Schwarzenegger, a
Republican, saying he would refuse to follow it even if the state's
computers could handle the job. The governor, in turn, has threatened to
sue Mr. Chiang to force the pay cuts, saying Mr. Chiang was violating a
2003 California court decision mandating that state employees take
minimum wage if the Legislature does not pass a budget.
