One the prime beneficiaries of the California budget crisis is a museum complex in Riverside (Budget leaves state in deep hole / ‘It was a get-out-alive deal more than solving any problems’):
And Assemblyman Dave Kelly, R-Idyllwild, received permission to continue spending on a swimming pool in San Jacinto and for the Western Center for Archaeology and Paleontology, both in his district.
While the budget deficit is bad for most government-supported institutions, the payoff for Republican support keeps the Western Center in business. Classic.
