THINK THE STAFF FOR- REALLY THE
SWIFT AND COMPREHENSIVE WORK

WE'RE IN A DEFICIT YEAR. OF
WE'RE TRYING TO PROTECT OUR
PROGRESS AND- I THINK THERE'S
BEEN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
EFFORT MADE TO ENSURE THAT. MOST
IMPORTANTLY WE ARE PROTECTING.
THE FOLKS WHO HAVE DONE THE WORK
PARTICULARLY DO DURING ONE OF
THE MOST DIFFICULT TIMES IN OUR
STATES. HISTORY WITH THE
PANDEMIC- AND GIVEN INSTALLATION
AND GIVEN WHAT IT IS COSTING
THE- AVERAGE- CALIFORNIANS TO
LIVE PARTICULARLY IN A DISTRICT
LIKE MINE IN L. A. COUNTY- I'M
HAPPY TO SEE THAT WE ARE
PROTECTING THAT COST OF LIVING.
AND WE ARE INVESTING IN OUR
CAMPUSES VERTICALLY THOSE THAT
ARE HARDEST HIT AND- I
APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR WORDS-
MISTER CHAIR ABOUT CONTINUING TO
NEGOTIATE WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION ON THIS TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO
MAINTAIN THESE VERY IMPORTANT-
ELEMENTS OF OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM
PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE MOST
VULNERABLE IN THIS PROCESS-
WE'VE GOT A TOUGH ROAD. ROAD
AHEAD IT WILL BE TOUGHER IN
COMING YEARS AND I THINK IT
STARTS HERE WITH HOW WE START TO
PRIORITIZE THOSE HARDEST HIT
COMMUNITY SO I'M EXCITED TO MOVE
THROUGH THIS BATCH OF- OF BILLS
AND POLICIES TODAY IN HOPES THAT
WE CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK TO
PROTECT THE PEOPLE- WHO NEED AND

TWENTY TO TWENTY THREE AND ONE
POINT ONE BILLION IN TWENTY.

THE INCREASED DEPOSITS IN THE
EDUCATION RAINY DAY RESERVES.
AND SO- THIS BUDGET IS BALANCED
IT STICKS WITH THE EIGHT POINT
22% INCREASE TO THE LOCAL
CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA. IT
REDUCES THE USE OF ONE TIME
