 Speaker Pérez Statement on California Budget

SACRAMENTO – Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez (D-Los Angeles) released the following statement regarding an upcoming vote on the California Budget Proposal:

“I have informed the members of the Assembly Democratic Caucus that we will proceed with a vote on the Governor’s budget proposal tomorrow at 1 p.m. This is an honest and balanced package that will give the people of California the opportunity to decide for themselves whether to extend the current tax rates in an effort to finally bring our finances under control. I am hopeful that every member of the Assembly will make the sober, responsible decision to approve the Governor’s budget plan and not waste this genuine opportunity to fix California’s broken budget.”
