“The Governor’s continued commitment to work with the Legislature in a “post-partisan” fashion is both welcome and encouraging.”
“However, the notion that we can solve a $14 billion budget shortfall with across-the-board cuts –– in education, health care and public safety –– is simply unrealistic. The real solution is as challenging as it is simple: Spend less. Collect more. Do it now.”
“My own efforts will continue to focus on protecting public education and our environment. These issues remain a priority for me, my constituents and Californians throughout the state.”
