The L.A. Times reports:

California will not pay overtime to home aides who care for the state's elderly and disabled after a judge overturned a federal regulation requiring it, officials announced last week.

By not paying overtime and some related benefits, the state stands to save $183.6 million over the next six months and an additional $314.2 million in the fiscal year that begins July 1.

The decision is a setback for home-care workers and their unions, who fought hard for the federal regulation and persuaded Gov. Jerry Brown to include the funds in the state budget.

The great moments of California.
