Brown's Proposed 2016-17 Budget
|
Sacramento____ Senator Mike Morrell, R-Rancho Cucamonga, Thursday January 7th, issued the following statement in response to Governor Jerry Brown's draft
state budget proposal for 2016-17:
"What we have from the governor is another budget that grows government
at record levels with taxpayer money while ignoring many of the real
challenges facing our state. He and his Democrat colleagues continue to call
for higher taxes, increasing the cost of gas and health care for California
families, yet they refuse to use existing money to appropriately fund
priorities like services for the developmentally disabled and our roads and
highways. This is not an effective or efficient use of taxpayer dollars.
"The state treasurer recently estimated state and local government debt
at $1.5 trillion. Our focus should be to ensure future generations are not
stuck having to foot this bill rather than fuel more out-of-control spending
in Sacramento, especially since many experts, including the governor,
continue to caution that another recession could be just around the
corner."
