California Minimum Wage

There really is not I like about the Governator in CA. First off he ran as a conservative (I remember when he was Regan's physical fitness guy) and rules as a liberal. I will have to give him cudos on his latest move. He issued an executive order that cut the wages of several state employees to the National minimum wage of $6.55/hr. Since CA has a minimum wage of $8.00 this would put state employees below the state wage. I understand he is doing this to force the state legislature to pass a budget, or something like that. However if, for some reason the state leg. digs in it' feet, and this has to actually be implemented, I think that all small buisness owners in the state should immediately drop their minimum wage to $6.55/hr since if the government can pay it as the minimum wage, it must be the new minimum wage in CA. I know nothing will come of this, but the chaos would be fun to watch.
