LOCAL STORY
California Bond Dollars Frozen
(Davis, CA)- As of December 22, 2008, California's State Treasurer  
suspended nearly $4 billion dollars worth of bond projects that were  
already underway, including Propositions 50 and 1e (water bond)  
projects. This forced a suspention on all bond-funded projects,  
affecting many urban forestry organizations. Some nonprofits have been  
forced to respond with layoffs, while others are struggling to cover  
outstanding reimbursements from the state.
