Brother, can you Spare $8B?

After a wondrous budget compromise, California is at it again.
The California Legislature’s budget analyst says the recession has created another $8 billion hole in the state’s budget just weeks after the end of a bruising fight to close a $42 billion gap through June 2010.
I think we should raise taxes on the richest 2% of the population.

Did I catch that correctly:

They budgeted roughly 97 bn $ in projected revenues a few weeks ago, and all of a sudden, 8 bn $ (i.e. 8 %) of those revenues are no longer considered realistic?

Best line, from a discussion at Little Green Footballs - Whadda they think they have - the American Express Black Hole Card?
