Chief Justice Ronald George promised that "a large percentage" of state judges, including all the supreme court judges, will be forgoing pay at a state of the judiciary announcement over the weekend.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's mandated worker days off without pay doesn't effect the judicial branch of state government.
While it is a populist statement of solidarity with largely unionized state workers, it also ameliorates slash-and-burn supporters by saving the state an additional seven figures.
What does it mean to you? Well, don't go on a bender and end up in the hoosegow, because your bail hearing might be delayed since the Judicial Council also approved a day off once a month to save the state $94 million back in July.
Jackson West at least this should slow down the incarceration rate for a bit.
