Thursday
May 11, 2017____ Assembly Budget
Committee Vice Chair Obernolte (R-Hesperia)
issued the following statement in response to the release of Governor Brown’s
May revision of his 2017-18 budget proposal:
“In
light of the uncertainty facing California, the Governor’s budget proposal
makes some responsible choices.
“Unfortunately, the plan also includes a number of broken
promises. Last year, California voters approved increases in the tobacco tax
and income tax after they were assured that the revenue would be allocated to
health care, dental care, and education. I am concerned
that the Governor’s plan ignores the will of the voters by redirecting that
money to the General Fund.
“The people of California deserve an honest budget. I’m
committed to working with my colleagues in the Legislature and executive
branch to make sure they get one.”
