Assemblymember Adam Gray – AD 21
"I want to thank the Governor for his prudent spending decisions contained within his budget revision. I find it refreshing that the Governor is taking a long-term view of our budget and reducing debt."
Assemblymember Marc Levine - AD 10
"The May Revision provides reason for cautious optimism. Revenues are up in the short term, but growth is not as fast as any of us would like. It is important that this budget continue to reflect our priorities… There is a lot of work ahead of us, but I believe this Budget will come to be seen as the light at the end of the economic tunnel."
Assemblymember Nancy Skinner – AD 15
"The Governor's May Revise affirms that our state is out of deficit and on the way to economic recovery. With much healthier revenues, California is beginning to restore funding to our schools and community colleges."
Assemblymember Das Williams – AD 37
"We are beginning to turn the corner after years of horrid education cuts. Complete restoration cannot happen overnight, but the governor's proposal, along with other legislative ideas, offers a strong roadmap for Californians to return to educational excellence."
Assemblymember Mariko Yamada – AD4
"As expected, the Governor’s May Revise strikes a balance between the temporary revenues granted us by the voters and a focus on recovering the California economy."
Assemblymember Toni Atkins – AD78
"I applaud Governor Brown’s cautious and balanced approach to state finances which prioritizes our investment in the future through education and healthcare…It is also consistent with the principles outlined in the Assembly Democratic Caucus’ Blueprint for a Responsible Budget, released last week – fiscal responsibility, strengthening the middle class, and delivering effective, efficient services for Californians."
Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown – AD 47
"I look forward to working with my colleagues to review Governor Brown’s May Budget Revision proposal. I am very pleased to see that the budget calls for 56 new positions to help the Secretary of State eliminate the backlog and red tape of business filings. This will be very helpful for small businesses to stimulate economic growth and jobs for our region."
Assemblymember Ed Chau – AD 49
"As we spend the next month reconciling our priorities, I will be reviewing the Governor’s framework through the prism of principles outlined in our Blue Print for a Responsible Budget, which calls for ongoing fiscal responsibility, strengthening the middle class, and delivering effective, efficient services for all Californians."
Assemblymember Roger Dickinson – AD 7
"The Governor’s May Revise budget proposal is another encouraging indication that budget stability appears to have returned to California after years of financial struggle and education will receive desperately-needed additional funding. However, the May Revise continues to shortchange the most vulnerable in our state—such as those who need health care, child care, access to justice, or essential support services to escape poverty. By adopting a balanced budget, making prudent investments to help those in need and rebuild our economy, and protecting the state from future economic downtowns, we can continue to restore our GoldenState."
Assemblymember Susan Talamantes Eggman – AD 13
"There was a lot in the governor’s address to support. In particular, I appreciate his vision for education, and his recognition of the significant challenges faced by educators in communities like Stockton, where we have many bright, talented students who also happen to be English learners, or who struggle outside of school with poverty and instability."
