With the budget problems in California we read about will they ever have the money to spend?

That was over 8 years ago. So far, only two app's have moved off. One due to a State mandate. The other, well, let's just say someone has a really good salesman... It will be at least 3 years, and more likely 5, before the rest of the app's can move off. If the Board of Supervisors decides to spend the money. So far, they haven't. Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

In later conversations we found that the timeframe for doing this is 1 year. This should be interesting.
