Calif (AP) -California will begin paying some bills with IOUs nxt week for the first time since the Depression because the Legislature and governor missed the last deadline for resolving a $1 5 billion deficit, state officials said Tuesday. "The deadline has been there People have been trying against all hope. All hope is gone We will now be on IOUs. There's no question," said state Controller Ken Cory. "I see no other recourse than the state will be on registered warrants for at least one day and for every subsequent day the governor and Legislature delay a settlement," added Treasurer Jesse Unruh. They said the first lOlls would be issued Feb. 23 to an estimated 75,000 Californians for tax refunds and an additional 10,000 to 12,000 suppliers of various supplies to state agencies As the two Democratic fiscal officers held a news conference to declare that the deadline to avoid IOUs had passed, Republican Gov. George Deukmejian and legislative leaders held another closed-doo- r h meeting trying to end the stalemate over the fiscal crisis. Deukmejian is set against a tax increase, pushing for a combination of spending cuts and a carryover deficit, while Democrats in the Legislature prefer a combination of spending cuts and tax hikes. Unruh said if the Legislature and governor agreed on a fiscal recuperation plan by Tuesday night, he could borrow money from banks by Feb. 25 or 28, and IOUs would be issued only for a few days. Any delay in settlement beyond tonight would most likely mean the state would be without cash in March, he added. day night That's because it takes nine or 10 days to borrow money from private lenders to tide the state over. Inruh said he believes people in the financial community "think we look like a bunch of fools Lack of Political Resolve "I think it's tragic. I think it was avoidable. I think it was lack of political resolve the intransigence of a few people." Unruh said the final deadline for avoiding registered warrants, which are not redeemable until the state has the cash to pay them, was Mon- - are issued m lieu of tax refunds and checks to businesses dealing with the state, Cory said on following days, warrants would go to 86,000 state employees, plus 10,000 businesses and 75.000 taxpayers daily IOUs Instead of Refunds As many as 8 million taxpayers could get IOUs instead of refunds. Cory said He said the IOUs would also be sent to the federal government for He said banks have been cooperative, "but no one in the financial willing to give the state a blank check secured by nothing more than a hope that action our statehouse is from " forthcoming After the initial Feb 23 warrants is community state's $96 million share of welfare checks for 700,000 aged, blind and disabled. Cory said the federal government, which issues those the checks, will make the March payments The billion $1 5 billion deficit in the $25 state budget has been caused mainly by the recession, which cut revenues from the state's two big money sources, the sales and income taxes lial's I IhI;isUnI, cosiest order I (lephom " 1 sen ire lor im homo mm thill Mountain Hell has changed?
