• In June 2011, following Jerry Brown's veto of the 2011-12 State Budget bill, ruled that the Legislature had failed to pass a budget due to a revenue-expenditure imbalance in the vetoed bill. Chiang's interpretation of Proposition 25 (2010) required him to then suspend the pay for all 120 legislators until the passage of a new budget. The lapse in pay lasted for 13 days, the longest the Legislature had gone without being paid since late 1970.
