After 20 years in the California Legislature, it is unlikely that even Steve Peace could have dreamed up a scenario more frightening than the $35 billion budget shortfall the state currently faces. Nevertheless, as the governor's new Director of Finance, Peace is tasked with brokering a resolution to the budget crisis that will keep the state's economy moving and keep government offices open.
