Governor Wants to Pay State Workers Federal Minimum Wage
If you've still got a job, how would you like your pay cut to the federal minimum wage? That's what the Governor wants for state workers, but State Controller John Chiang says, "no way." It's all about the legislature's failure to pass next year's budget. On our rebroadcast of To the Point, US leadership has changed in Afghanistan, but the policy stays the same. Also, the longest tennis match in recorded history, reported by a British reporter with a sense of humor.

That's what the Governor wants for state workers, but State Controller John Chiang says, "no way." It's all about the legislature's failure to pass next year's budget. We hear about the law and the politics. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, Petraeus will replace McChrystal as US commander in Afghanistan, but counterinsurgency is still the strategy favored by the Commander in Chief. Is that a recipe for success or failure? Also, the longest tennis match in recorded history, reported by a British reporter with a sense of humor.
