Assembly Speaker John. A Pérez on the State of the State
(Sacramento) – Following Governor Brown's State of the State address Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez said, "The Governor presented a compelling argument for needed job creation measures to put Californians back to work, as well as new revenues to finishing up the hard work of putting California's fiscal house in order. He presented a comprehensive list of areas to move California forward, and my colleagues and I are looking forward to working with the Governor to achieve new progress for California."

Speaker Pérez Comments on Tomorrow's State of the State Address
(Sacramento) – California State Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez (D-Los Angeles) commented today on the Governor's scheduled State of the State address. (Governor Brown is scheduled to deliver the annual State of the State address to a joint session of the State Legislature tomorrow, Wednesday the 18th, at 10am.) Speaker Pérez says even though California is outpacing the nation on job creation, we know this will be another year of difficult decisions for policy makers. Last year, Assembly Democrats worked with the Governor to produce an on-time budget that eliminated more than three quarters of our ongoing deficit. Assembly Democrats are committed to working with the Governor to build on the progress we've made by securing new revenues to finally bring the budget into complete balance. Here's more from the Speaker in this Assembly Access video. http://www.asmdc.org/speaker

Assemblymember Henry Perea, The Fresno Bee , Op-Ed, May 12, 2011:
“It is simply unacceptable that our state is being held hostage by Republican legislators who refuse to acknowledge or address our ongoing fiscal crisis.
“If we are going to be successful in making sure essential public safety services are being met, we need to resolve our deficit soon and the ball, quite frankly, is in the Republicans' court."
Assemblymember Rich Gordon, Assembly Democratic Radio Address, May 13, 2011:
“At a recent jobs budget summit held in my district, I joined Speaker John Pérez, other Assemblymembers and Silicon Valley tech leaders to discuss the importance of protecting jobs while responsibly closing the budget deficit.
“It became clear throughout our discussions that job creation and the budget are closely linked issues, because we cannot close the book on this recession until Californians have quality, decent jobs.
“The business leaders we spoke with stressed the importance of educating California’s workforce, stressing the need to protect k-12 and higher education as key components of a well-educated, competitive workforce—one that is critical to California’s return to long term economic prosperity.”
Assemblywoman Julia Brownley, E-alert, May 13, 2011:
"I regard the availability of affordable health care to be a basic human right. Pricing people out of the market or hiking rates simply to pad corporate profits without any reasonable justification is unacceptable."
