Revised Calif. budget has less money for new programs
By John Myers, Los Angeles Times
Gov. Jerry Brown sent legislators a revised version of his state budget on Friday, insisting that lawmakers hold overall spending flat while endorsing a $2-billion bond to help the homeless.
“We have the money, and it’s a serious problem,” Brown said at a state Capitol news conference.
The support for a housing bond, which still would face sizable legal and political hurdles, was the most noticeable pronouncement in a $173.1-billion spending plan that otherwise holds the line on new programs and confirms a noticeable erosion in state revenues compared to estimates from January.
Overall, tax receipts are now expected to shrink by $1.9 billion. And Brown’s budget team continues to say that California could face as much as a $4-billion deficit by the summer of 2020.
What, no money for more welfare. Ah, come on the taxpayers still have color so you liberals haven’t bleed them enough. When they look like albino’s you will have done your job so get back to destroying CA and its productive citizens.
Don’t give up you need to do some research. Calfiornia is doing quite well with its budget, unlike those states run into the ground by the Republican’s ideologue governors such as Texas, Kansas, Louisiana, Wisconsin and New Jersey. Those nut cases are even hated by Republicans they have ruined the economy of those states. So I choose how well Brown has righted to ship over the nut cases of the aforementioned states (Abott, Brownback, Jindal, Walker and Christie). Rick
