ON THIS AND IT WAS MORE ABOUT.
WHAT WE'RE IN THE BUDGET DEFICIT
RIGHT EVERY SINGLE EVERY SINGLE
STAKEHOLDER PROPOSED HAD MERIT
AND HAVE A COMPELLING STORY TO
IT SO THAT WAS THE HARPER IT
WASN'T TO BE CONVINCED THAT IT
WAS NEEDED IT WAS MORE OF WELL
WE'RE IN A BUDGET DEFICIT SO-
BUT EVEN IN A TIME OF DEFICIT. I
AM PROUD OF WHAT OUR SUB THREE
SUB COMPARISON THREE DEAD- HOW
WE WERE ABLE TO BALANCE IN WAY
OUT WHAT WAS NEEDED RIGHT NOW TO
HELP PEOPLE. THRIVING CONTINUE
TO SURVIVE IN WHAT COULD BE
PUSHED OFF. FOR A COUPLE YEARS
OR JUST BALANCING AND OUR SON SO
I AM PROUD THAT WE PUSH
LANDMARK- AROUND MEDICARE
REIMBURSEMENT I AM PROUD THAT
WE- ADDRESS THE CHILD CARE-
ISSUE I. ALTHOUGH THERE STILL
NEEDS TO BE A LOT WORK THERE. IS
SOMETHING THAT WE I FEEL WE CAN
BE PROUD OF. THE WORK FORCE
INVESTMENTS THAT WE TALKED
ABOUT. AND EVERY SINGLE HEARING
IN THE PORTENTS OF NOT DELAYING
THOSE. I MOVES AN OVERALL
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE FROM
EXPERTS IN THE PROFESSIONALS
LOOKING TO SPEAK. TO THE KIDS TO
PROVIDE A PUBLIC COMMENTS TO THE
PARENTS TO LOOK LIKE THE SONORA
AS I MENTIONED WHO SHARED THEIR
LIVED EXPERIENCES. IN SPANISH
AND I WAS SO HONORED AND
PRIVILEGED TO BE ABLE TO
UNDERSTAND THEIR STORIES OF THE-
FINEST SPANISH SPEAKER MYSELF.
THE IMPACT OF THE OF THE
DECISIONS THAT WE MADE AND IS
ROOMS THEY'RE NOT CONFINED TO
THE STATISTICS FOR THE DOT IS
THAT WE SEE ON PAPER- THE PLAN
ACTIVE ROLE IN THE PEOPLE WE
HEARD. AND. EVEN MORE STORM FROM
THE PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T HAVE THE
ABILITY A. B. FOR THEM TO GUIDE
THEIR CALL. COMING IN SURE THEY
STORY- IN THE FOR TERM UNITED
STATES MICHAEL'S AROUND A CAN.
THE OVER. THAT I WANTED TO FOR.
BUT I WANTED TO BRING THROUGH
LANDS AND I THINK WE DID THAT I
HOPE IF I'M GIVEN THE HONOR TO
CONTINUE. THAT I'LL CONTINUE TO
DO THAT IN THE SUB THREE- TO NOT
ACCEPT THE STATUS QUO AND ENSURE
THAT THERE IS ACCOUNTABILITY. I
IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE
WITH THAT. I REMAIN OPTIMISTIC
AND HOPEFUL THAT WE WILL
OVERCOME. THE CURRENT DEFICIT IN
THE COMING YEARS TO PROTECT
CALIFORNIANS WHO NEEDED THE
MOST. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
WITH. MY COUNTERPARTS IN THE
OTHER HOUSE. AND THE GOVERNOR TO
COME UP WITH THE FINAL BUDGET.
I'D LIKE TO TURN TO ANY MYSELF
COMMITTEES WOULD LIKE TO GIVE
ANY REMARKS. I WOULD JUST THANK
YOU. MADAM CHAIR FOR THIS IS A
BIG BUDGET SUB COMMITTEE IN
COMING IN AS A FRESHMAN I THINK
YOU- YOU PROVIDE A- REFRESHING.
CHANGE OF HEART FOR ALL OF US
AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU
AND THANK YOU TO THE UP TO THE
AT BUDGET SUB STAFF. WORK SO
HARD. YES HELLO. THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR- IT REALLY HAS BEEN A
PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH YOU AS A
BRAND NEW MEMBER IS MATTER FACT
I JUST TEXT MY COLLEAGUE FROM
STOCK AND I GO SHE REALLY IS
VERY GOOD. THEM AND YOU REALLY
ARE AND I LOVE YOUR NO NONSENSE
APPROACH. AT BUT I ALSO LOVE
YOUR HEART FOR THE ISSUES THAT
MATTER WE DON'T AGREE ON
EVERYTHING. BUT THERE ARE SOME
THINGS THAT WE REALLY GREHAN AND
THE GOOD THING IS THAT SOME OF
THE THINGS THAT WE AGREE ON ARE
THINGS THAT I'M VERY VERY VERY
PASSIONATE ABOUT. SO I
APPRECIATE THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO
MAKE SOME COMMENTS IF I MAY WITH
YOUR INDULGENCE ON ITEM NUMBER
SIXTY FIVE ITEM NUMBER TWENTY
THREE AND ITEM NUMBER SIXTY
SEVEN. AND I DO NUMBER SIXTY
SEVEN IS A VERY TOUGH ISSUE KIDS
DESERVE HEARING AIDS. AND I
AGREE BUT THIS ISSUE WAS BROUGHT
UP IN NOT CONSULTED WITH THE
PLANS IT'S JUST ANOTHER MANDATE
ON PLANS- AND WHAT'S REALLY
FRUSTRATING. IS THAT TEN MILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR IS THAT ALLOCATED
TO THIS PROGRAM. AND FROM MY
UNDERSTANDING ONLY TWENTY FOUR
HEARING NEEDS RE ISSUED FROM THE
DEPARTMENT AFTER GETTING TEN
MILLION DOLLARS. SO WHERE'S THAT
MONEY. AND WHY ARE WE PUTTING A
MAN IN A PLANS AND WE DON'T KNOW
WHERE ALL THAT MONEY IS THAT.
HOW THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN IN
PLACE FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS SO
I HAVE THAT QUESTION. SOME OF
THE LAY OFF ON THAT UNTIL YOU
FIND THE ANSWERS TO THAT BECAUSE
IT WAS AN ITEM UP FOR DISCUSSION
WE JUST GOT THE INFORMATION LAST
NIGHT- THE MANUFACTURING. I
DON'T THINK THE STATE SHOULD I
WOULD SAY THAT IT WAS AN ITEM
FOR DISCUSSION DURING OR
SOMETHING. WHEN THEY PROPOSED TO
US. I WILL SAY THAT. OKAY A
LETTER. THERE WAS A LETTER OKAY
AND THEN ITEM NUMBER TWENTY
THREE AND- MENTALLY OFF THAT AS
WELL BECAUSE- YOU KNOW THE
STATION BE IN THE BUSINESS OF.
YOU KNOW STORING MANUFACTURED IN
OUR CAMP I MEAN. BUT I REALIZE
THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A STORAGE
PLACE AND HAVE IT EASY AVAILABLE
BECAUSE WE'RE NOT DO ANYTHING
ABOUT THE FINAL CRISIS ON A-
PROACTIVE LEVEL SO WE DO HAVE TO
HAVE A REACTIVE SITUATION I
UNDERSTAND THAT. THE MCO TAX I'M
SO GRATEFUL THAT THIS COMMITTEE
UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP. ADDRESS
THE ISSUES OF MAKING SURE THAT.
THERE WAS A SHORTER AMOUNT OF
TIME CARRIED AN ADDING CODE
SECTIONS TO- IF TO THE MEDICARE
REIMBURSEMENT. THAT WOULD. BE
AVAILABLE- I AM VERY
DISAPPOINTED THERE'S NO MONEY IN
THERE FOR FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED
HOSPITALS BECAUSE- YOU AND I
BOTH KNOW THAT HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS NOT GONNA GO
ANYWHERE. ESPECIALLY WITH ALL
THE HOSPITALS THAT ARE APPLYING
AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO THINK
ABOUT. PEOPLE NOT HAVING ACCESS
TO HOSPITAL CARE. A SPECIFICALLY
IN MY DISTRICT. AND I AM. I KNOW
WE DISAGREE ON THIS ISSUE BUT I
AM VERY DISTURBED. PLAN TURNING
A TWO MILLION DOLLARS LAST YEAR
MORE THAN ALL OF OUR DISTRESSED
AUSPICES COMBINE. AND THERE'S
ANOTHER FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS IN
THERE IN THIS BUDGET WHICH- JUST
MAKES NO SENSE TO ME WHATSOEVER.
BUT AND- SO AGAIN I. SHE BEING
PART OF THE CONVERSATIONS OF THE
MCO TAX. I THINK THAT WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT MEDICAL-
RECIPIENTS. AND MEDICAL
PROVIDERS. NOT RECIPIENTS FOR
PROVIDERS OF PRIVATE ACCESS TO.
MEDICARE RECIPIENTS- SPECIALLY
IN POOR COMMUNITIES HAVE ACCESS
TO HEALTH CARE THIS IS A WAY
THAT THE PLANTS HAVE STEPPED
FORWARD TO DO THIS. BUT I DON'T
THINK THROUGH ON THE PLANS INTO
THE BEST FOR THE- HEARING AID
ISSUE WHEN THE STATE COULDN'T
EVEN DELIVER TWENTY FOUR HEARING
AIDS WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
AND THEN ALSO THE POISON PILL.
IN THE CODE SECTION FOR.
ABORTION SERVICES THAT JUST
MAKES ME SICK. THANK YOU- SEE NO
OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON OUR END
AND LIKE TO GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY
FOR. OUR FRIENDS THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE TO COME PROVIDE A-
SOME FINAL REMARKS. THANK YOU
