SACRAMENTO – Senate President pro Tempore Mike McGuire (D-North Coast) issued the following statement about the Legislative Analyst’s Office Fiscal Outlook issued today:

“Through last year’s action, we’ve helped stabilize this year’s budget. And it goes without saying, there’s a lot more work to come. We need to continue to buckle down on spending and be incredibly strategic on any future fiscal expansion. Folks are doing their best to make ends meet, and it’s our responsibility to implement policies and secure investments that will make their lives more affordable.

“I’m grateful to Senate Budget Chair Scott Wiener, our Budget Sub-Chairs, and the members of the Senate Budget Committee for their continued work and focus, especially in a year where all eyes will be on California.”
