HAVE A QUORUM THE REMOTE TO
BRING BACK TO THE SUB FOR
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ALADDIN'S
BEFORE WE TAKE UP THE VOTE ONLY.
CALVET YOU. CAN CENTER KABIR.
I'LL I'LL MAKE A COMMENT I'M
GONNA COMMITTEE SUPPORTING THE
BUDGET IN ITS ENTIRETY BUT-
STILL HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT-
THE GROWTH OF GOVERNMENT. AND-
AND THE REQUESTS FOR. LARGE
NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES IN CERTAIN-
DEPARTMENTS. BECAUSE THE REALITY
OF THE SITUATION IS IF YOU ASK
FOR NINETEEN EMPLOYEES YOU'RE
NOT GOING TO HIRE NINETEEN
EMPLOYEES THIS YEAR YOU'RE JUST
NOT- UNLESS YOU HAVE PEOPLE
ALREADY IDENTIFIED- HAVING
WORKED IN THE ADMINISTRATION I
KNOW HOW. LONG THE- HR PROCESS
TAKES. ON AND BESIDES IT'S I'M
NOT SURE YOU WANT NINETEEN
PEOPLE COMING IN ALL AT THE SAME
TIME IN. IN SOME OF THESE
DEPARTMENTS WITHOUT THERE BEING-
A- I'M REAL SIGNIFICANT WORK
PLAN AND THE SET UP TO BE ABLE
TO. TO GET THE WORK STARTED ONCE
PEOPLE START- AND I GUESS MY
POINT IS THAT YOU START WITH
FIVE U. U. U. U. PEOPLE THOSE
POSITIONS AND THEN YOU YOU
CREATE THE PLAN AFTER THAT IN
AND THEN YOU GO OUT AND YOU. YOU
AND YOU WORK ON THE REST IN AND
THE REASON I WOULD HAVE DONE IT
IN A COUPLE OF YEARS- TIME IS
BECAUSE AT A TIME WHEN OUR
BUDGET IS. IS SO TIGHT I THINK
IT'S JUST FISCALLY PRUDENT I'M
LIKE I SAID I'M GOING TO SUPPORT
. SUPPORT- THE BUDGET BUT I
WOULD LIKE. THE ADMINISTRATION
TO KIND OF KEEP IN MIND THAT.
THAT IF WE CAN DO WITH FEWER
EMPLOYEES AND STILL GET THE WORK
DONE THAT THAT'S THE DIRECTION
WE SHOULD GO IN AND SEE IF WE
CAN HAVE SAVINGS FOR NEXT YEAR-
BILL HELPS OUT SOME. ON THAT
THIS IS NOTHING NEW I SPOKE
ABOUT IT WHEN WE REVIEWED SOME
OF THESE REQUESTS- AND- AND THEY
DIDN'T CHANGE SO I JUST WANTED
TO MAKE SURE TO GET THAT OUT
THERE. THANK YOU MR MISTER
CHAIRMAN THANK YOU SIR SERIAL.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR- JUST.
WAS IT YESTERDAY OR DAY BEFORE
THEY BEFORE THAT- THE L. A. O.
ISSUED A NEW ASSESSMENT ON THE
BUDGET AND- THE- THING IS A
CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE. IN HIS
OPINION MORE THAN THE GOVERNOR'S
MAY REVISE AS A KNOWLEDGE
SHARING. BOTH IN TERMS OF
SHORTFALLS IN REVENUES- THIS
YEAR AND IN OUT YEARS. AND THE
AND- LOWER ESTIMATES OF COSTS
WERE THE L. A. O. IS SEEING.
GREATER GROWTH AND- THE IN
PARTICULAR HHS- AND- AND OTHER
AREAS AND I'VE NOTED THAT- IN
THIS COMMITTEE- THE GOVERNOR HAS
ACTUALLY PROPOSED SOME
REDUCTIONS IN SPENDING THAT THE
COMMITTEE HAS REJECTED. AND I
WOULD SUGGEST AND I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE OTHER
SUBCOMMITTEES- BUT- I GUESS I
WOULD. JUST VENTURE A WILD GUESS
THAT IT'S PROBABLY SIMILARLY THE
SAME THE- PRO TEM SENT- AN EMAIL
MESSAGE OUT. JUST A AN HOUR OR
TWO AGO. TALKING ABOUT THE- A
PROTECT OUR PROJECT PROGRESS.
WHICH- USE ME- I HAVE ON BEHALF
OF OUR CAUCUS ISSUED A COUNTER
TO THE PROTECT OUR PROGRESS YOU
ARE GIVING- OUR ASSESSMENT OF-
THE PROGRESS AS IT EXISTED OVER
THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AND- AND
OUR TAKE ON WHAT. PRIORITIES
SHOULD BE AND- I'M JUST VERY
CONCERNED THAT WERE- WERE WERE
DIGGING A DEEPER HOLE- PERHAPS
IN ALL OF THE SUBCOMMITTEES- WE
GO ON TO BUDGET HEARINGS I'M I'M
TOLD THAT- BEING- MERCIFUL OF
OUR- OTHER TIME- COMMITMENTS IN
THE NEXT- WEEKEND A HALF THAT- I
GUESS THERE'S NO BUDGET
COMMITTEE MEETINGS NEXT WEEK BUT
WE WILL- IN JUNE AND- WE HAVE.
SIGNIFICANT WORK AHEAD OF US NOT
JUST TO BALANCE THE- THE
UPCOMING YEAR'S BUDGET BUT THE
NEXT TWO OR THREE BEYOND THAT-
THAT ALL AT THIS POINT DON'T
LOOK VERY- BRIGHT. AND I'D ALSO
NOTE KIND OF PARENTHETICALLY BUT
STILL SIGNIFICANTLY THAT- AN
ECONOMICS PROFESSOR AT- CSU
STANISLAUS HAS COME OUT WITH A
PROJECTION OF THAT HE SEES A
DETERIORATION OF THE ECONOMY OF
THE CENTRAL VALLEY IN
PARTICULAR- OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
OF YEARS. SO WHAT I DON'T WANT
TO SAY DOOM AND GLOOM BUT I DO
WANT TO BE REALISTIC AND- I
THINK WE NEED TO BEGIN TAKING A
MORE REALISTIC- LOOK AT- SOME
TRYING TIMES OVER THE NEXT. TWO
THREE OR FOUR BUDGET YEARS.
THANK YOU SIR AND I WOULD JUST
ADD A COUPLE SPOTS PARTICULARLY
WITH RESPECT TO- ISSUES TWELVE
AND THIRTEEN THAT WILL TAKE UP
ON THE BOTTLE ON THE COUNTER THE
MOMENT. FIRST WITH RESPECT TO
CONCERNED ABOUT. AT MID YEAR OR
OR IN THE BEGINNING OF NEXT BEST
GOAL- WHAT THE PICTURE LOOKS
LIKE I AM I AM CONCERNED- AND
I'M CONCERNED THAT EVEN WITH- I
THINK THE SENATE'S PLAN IS WELL
THOUGHT OUT IN TERMS OF
IDENTIFYING THE RIGHT PRIORITIES
. THAT THE RESOURCES ARE NOT
GOING TO BE WHERE WE WOULD LIKE
OR EXPECT THEM TO BE AND THAT IS
A GREAT GREAT CONCERN AND OFTEN
CONSTRAINED BUDGET TIMES IT IS
COMPLETELY ABOUT COMPETING
EQUALLY VALUABLE PRIORITIES. ON
THAT NOTE ITEMS TWELVE AND
THIRTEEN- BEFORE THE
SUBCOMMITTEE BECAUSE OF
REDUCTION AND RELOCATION I WOULD
JUST WANT TO PUT A COMMON RECORD
THAT IN THE LONG RUN. I THINK
THIS IS THE SUSTAINABILITY FUND
SPEAKING A PRIORITIES. N. ON
PORTIONS OF THE STATE
GEOGRAPHICALLY BEING ON THE
BRINK OF SUFFERING. ECONOMIC
STRESS AT A LEVEL WE HAVEN'T
SEEN IN RECENT HISTORY- AND ON
THE SUBJECT OF PRIORITIES IN
EXISTING ABILITY FUN WAS A
RIGHT. BUDGET PRIORITY. IN
ANYTIME IN FLUSH PARTICULARLY OR
IN CONSTRAINT BUDGET SCENARIOS.
SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE NATURE-
THE UNIQUE NATURE OF
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MANY OF THOSE
QUALIFYING COUNTIES AND CITIES
FIND THEMSELVES AND- THIS IS AN
ONGOING ISSUE- SO I WOULD HOPE
THERE'S AN OLD SAYING. WHERE
THERE'S POLITICAL WILL THERE'S A
WAY EVEN IN CONSTRAINED TIMES WE
FIND. INTERESTING WAYS TO COME
UP WITH FUNDING FOR THINGS THAT
WE DECIDE OUR PRIORITIES. AND I
WOULD HOPE THAT WE WOULD NOT
FORGET THAT WITH RESPECT TO. THE
ENTIRE CONCEPT THAT DROVE THE
SUSTAINABILITY FUND IN THE FIRST
PLACE. WITH RESPECT TO
REALLOCATION THE CERTAINLY A
WELL VETTED AND- A WELL PLANNED-
AND VERY WORTHY. WERE THE
PROJECT FOR THE INVESTMENT OF
THESE DOLLARS FOR A LOT OF
REASONS. AND FOR THOSE REASONS I
WILL BE SUPPORTING MOVING IT OUT
. BUT I WANTED TO PUT THOSE
COMMENTS IN THE RECORD THAT.
THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A MORE
STRATEGIC AND COMPREHENSIVE
APPROACH TO ADDRESSING THESE
VERY VALID PRIORITIES. THAT THIS
CHAIR AT LEAST OF FOR WHAT IT'S
WORTH AND WOULD HAVE PREFERRED.
THAT APPROACH A BEEN TAKEN- THAT
SAID- THERE'S A SHOVEL READY
SITUATION AND FRESNO THAT IS
WORTHY OF THE STATE'S
PARTNERSHIP HERE. FOR THOSE
REASONS I WILL SUPPORT IT- THAT
