Senator Dahle Raises Concerns About Budget

 

AB 102 amends the Democrats' initial budget bill in various ways, but does not reflect a final deal on a budget package with the Governor. AB 102 continues to spend beyond the state's means, including by expanding unsustainable programs instead of truly cutting spending to a viable level. Additionally, it relies on unrealistic revenue assumptions that are $11 billion above the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office estimates.
