California is facing a budget crisis of unprecedented scope. Tough but fair decisions will need to be made. Essential state services should be prioritized by California’s values. Blind, across the board cuts to most state programs is a recipe for disaster.
Political compromise is essential to making state government responsive to the needs of a state with almost forty million residents; a state deemed an economic superpower just by itself.
Empower yourself by being involved in the budget process. Help to ensure that the budget is fair; that it is not merely balanced on the backs of our children, the elderly, disabled and our women and men in uniform.
