Sacramento, CA – Senator Mike McGuire (D-Healdsburg) issued the following statement on the State Budget agreement reached today between the Governor and the Legislature: “By working together, we’re bringing forward a balanced budget, investing in priorities that make this state great and tackling some of our toughest challenges. We’re reinvesting in stronger public schools and programs that will combat poverty, we’re helping Californian’s tackle the challenges associated with our historic drought and we’re building the strongest rainy day fund this state has seen in a generation,” Senator Mike McGuire said. “This is a smart budget that demonstrates strategic investment while showing fiscal restraint and paying down debt.”
Senator McGuire knows there is much more work ahead which is why the Legislature and the Governor have agreed – in the coming weeks – to convene a special session of the California Legislature which will be focused on fixing our state’s crumbling roads and highways and stabilizing the state’s main health program, Medi-Cal.
