SACRAMENTO (CBS) — A projected shortfall in California state revenues could lead to deep cuts to services statewide and potentially even a shorter school year, an analyst said Wednesday.

The Legislative Analyst’s Office released a report projecting general fund revenues are $3.7 billion less than what was projected back in June when the state budget was approved.

KNX 1070′s Charles Feldman reports the new numbers could have a direct impact on education.

If that figure is confirmed next month by the state Department of Finance, a series of automatic cuts will likely be enacted — including possible reduction in school days statewide.

“One of the primary proposals is cutting the school year by about a week,” said Loyola Law School budget analyst Jessica Levinson.

That move could save as much as $1 billion every year, Levinson said.

The report also projected a $13 billion budget shortfall in 2012.

If we weren’t paying for a few milion children of illegal parents, we could put a stop to that and look at how available monies would help our budget. The least we could do is put an end to any ESL after 1 year per child needing it. Some kids go through all 12 years and come out not speaking any where near fluent enlish.

Dont laugh, but I love the old Paula Abdul stuff and both my girls love to dance arojnd to it. And yesss…I KNOW its really bad but it takes me back to being young and silly and making up dances to it at sleepovers. Other than that I love my mix tape of Jesus Culture stuff, especially “all I need is you” and I love The Noisettes, especially “never forget you”. Do I count if bad 80s music tops my list?

My hsnabud is the news junkie; I’ll watch a little bit, but some evenings it seems like it’s one “bad” incident after another. It starts turning into a gossip fest some nights. I generally find my news on the Internet so I can pick and choose what I want to pay attention to. I am esp. attracted to stories of people’s courage when they people are telling them “you can’t do that”. I, too, like to read quite a bit and think about how I can raise myself up through self-development instead of focusing on how other people have failed and how badly and what horrible people they are and how bad the world is faring. Thank you
