California set to issue IOUs
California's new fiscal year begins today, and the state Senate has failed to reach a revised budget agreement to keep from issuing IOUs for its bills. Facing a $24 billion deficit, lawmakers were unsuccessful in approving $3.3 billion in budget cuts that would have temporarily averted the use of IOUs. State controller John Chiang is set to begin using the IOUs on Thursday, which could damage the state's credit rating. However, lawmakers still can avoid giving out the IOUs if they reach a budget deal before Thursday. Larry Mantle gets an update on the developments. Post your thoughts here.

Ivana Gomez del Campo
Tacos Baja Ensenada
Do not judge this restaurant by its cover, rather by the lines you're likely to find during the lunch rush. The famed fish tacos are made with flavorful, deep fried halibut filets that crumble in your mouth, wrapped in two perfectly grilled corn tortillas and topped with shredded cabbage, salsa and a rich cream sauce. For the adventurous types, there is a nice spread of condiments and salsas. The atmosphere is laid back and the prices so reasonable you'll forget you're in LA. By far the best fish tacos north of the border!
