ONE OH ONE I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST- AUTOBODY TO CONQUER
INSTEAD AMENDMENTS TO PARKER

ITEM NINETY CENTER SKINNER ARE
YOU READY SHE IS SECRETARY
PLEASE READ. SENATE BILL ONE OH
ONE AND EXCELLING AND SENATE
BILL ONE ONE BY CENTER SKINNER
ENACT WILLING TO STATE BUDGET TO
TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY BUDGET
BILL. THEY'RE SKINNER YOU
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT MEMBERS PLEASE TO
PRESENT SB ONE A ONE THIS IS THE
BUDGET ACT OF TWENTY TWENTY
THREE. AND IT REPRESENTS THE
WORK OF A HUNDRED AND TWO
SUBCOMMITTEES A-ANT FULL
COMMITTEE HEARINGS OF BOTH THE
SENATE AND THE ASSEMBLY WHO
VETTED THE GOVERNOR'S JANUARY
PROPOSAL AND THEN THE MAY REVISE
AND THIS BUDGET REPRESENTS THE
PRODUCT OF THE SENATE IN THE
ASSEMBLIES WORK. IT TOTAL
SPENDING IS TWO HUNDRED TWENTY
SEVEN BILLION GENERAL FUND. IT
RETAINS RESERVES OF THIRTY SEVEN
POINT TWO BILLION. TOTAL AND
THOSE ARE THE VARIOUS RESERVES
THAT WE HAVE THE BUDGET
STABILIZATION ACCOUNT THE
SPECIAL FUND FOR ECONOMIC
UNCERTAINTIES ARE PROP NINETY
EIGHT PUBLIC SCHOOL STATE SYSTEM
STABILIZATION ACCOUNT AND OUR
SAFETY NET RESERVE. AB ONE OH
ONE AS I MENTIONED- S. B. ONE
ONE THAT'S WHAT'S BEFORE US-
BUILDS UPON THE PROPOSALS BY THE
GOVERNOR IN BOTH THE JANUARY
BUDGET IN THE MAY REVISE BUT IT
IS NOT YET. A BUDGET THAT
REFLECTS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE GOVERNOR THE SENATE AND THE
ASSEMBLY THAT IS STILL IN
PROGRESS BUT I'M VERY CONFIDENT
THAT THAT READ THAT AGREEMENT
WILL BE VERY CLOSE TO WHAT WE
ARE ADOPTING TODAY. WHAT'S
IMPORTANT ABOUT WHAT WE ARE
ADOPTING TODAY IS THIS IS A
RESPONSIBLE BUDGET THAT PROTECTS
THE PROGRESS THAT THE
LEGISLATURE IN THE
ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE OVER
RECENT YEARS. TO EXPAND ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY FOR CALIFORNIANS TO
EXPAND CORE PROGRAMS IN HEALTH
CARE HOUSING HOMELESS SERVICES
RESPONSE TO OUR CLIMATE CRISIS.
AND IT DOES THIS WITHOUT ANY
MIDDLE CLASS TAX INCREASES AND
IN FACT NO TAX INCREASES OTHER
THAN OUR MANAGED CARE TAX WHICH
IS ON SPECIFIC HEALTH ENTITIES.
AND IT MAINTAINS THE PLANNED
PROGRAM INCREASES THAT WE
ADOPTED LAST YEAR FOR OUR
SCHOOLS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION FOR
SOCIAL SERVICES AND FOR OUR
HEALTH PROGRAMS AND JUST A FEW
HIGHLIGHTS. THE INCREASE TO OUR
SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY COLLEGES
IS TWO POINT ONE BILLION OVER
LAST YEAR'S SPENDING. THERE IS A
ONE BILLION TEMPORARY INCREASE
FOR OUR CHILD CARE PROGRAMS TO
GIVE. A TEMPORARY RATE INCREASES
AND A FAMILY FEE REFORM SO WE
KNOW THAT SINCE THE PANDEMIC OUR
CHILD CARE PROVIDERS HAVE NOT
COME BACK TO FULL OPERATION AS
THEY WERE PRE PANDEMIC AND THAT
IS HURT MANY FAMILIES BEING ABLE
TO RETURN TO WORK. SO THIS
INVESTMENT IN OUR CHILD CARE
INFRASTRUCTURE IS SO IMPORTANT
AND WHEN I SAY INFRASTRUCTURE IN
THIS CASE I MEAN THE PEOPLE AND
THE PROGRAMS. THERE'S ALSO.
WRITTEN WE RESTORED THE CUTS TO
TRANSIT AND PROVIDE A 100%
FLEXIBILITY IN OUR TRANSIT
FUNDING FOR CAPITAL OR
OPERATIONS SO THAT OUR MUNICIPAL
TRANSIT SYSTEMS CONTINUE
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE
ESSENTIAL TRANSPORTATION THERE
ARE MANY TRANSIT DEPENDENT
CALIFORNIANS RELY ON WHETHER
THEY ARE SENIOR STUDENTS
DISABLED OR THOSE WHO DO NOT
HAVE A CAR OR WHO CANNOT. AFFORD
A CAR- AS I MENTIONED IT ADOPTS
THE MANAGED CARE OPERATIONS TAX
AND IT CONTINUES ONE BILLION IN
HOMELESS HOUSING AND PREVENTION
FOR THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR SO
THAT OUR LOCALITIES THAT ARE
BEEN RUN. IN EXPANDING PROGRAM
CAN KNOW THAT THE OF CERTAINTY
BEYOND THIS BUDGET YEAR. SO AS I
MENTIONED BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE
AND THE GOVERNOR SURE VERY MANY
COMMON PRIORITIES AND I LOOK
FORWARD TO HAVING AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE THREE- BRANCHES
SOON. THAT WILL BE VERY
REFLECTIVE OF OUR ACTION TODAY
AND WITH THAT I ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU. BYE CENTER NERO
YOUR RECOGNIZE. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT. HI- IT WILL COME AS
NO SURPRISE TO THIS BODY. THAT I
HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS ABOUT
THE PROCESS THAT WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH. IN THIS BUDGET BUT TO
WRAP THAT UP TO THE CONCLUSION
OF TODAY. I WOULD JUST POINT OUT
THAT- S. HAS BEEN RIGHTFULLY
STATED BY. MY CALLING FROM
BERKELEY THAT- THERE WERE LOTS
OF HEARINGS PARTICULARLY- THE US
ALL OF THE SUB COMMITTEE
HEARINGS AND- WE AS REPUBLICANS
WERE CERTAINLY PART OF THAT. A
GRANT THAT. BUT WHAT USED TO
HAPPEN. A HUNDRED YEARS AGO WHEN
I WAS IN THE ASSEMBLY WAS AFTER
THOSE SUBCOMMITTEE MEETINGS WE
HAVE A CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. AND
THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE WOULD
WORK OUT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
THE ASSEMBLY OF A BUDGET THAT.
RESULTED FROM THOSE SUB
COMMITTEE MEETINGS ON THE SENATE
PROPOSALS. AND THAT CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE INCLUDED REPUBLICANS
AND DEMOCRATS. AND I SAT ON THAT
WITH A- OF MY- GOOD FRIEND AND
COLLEAGUE FROM SANTA CRUZ BUT
WAY BACK WHEN. BUT THIS TIME.
WHAT TOOK PLACE OF THE
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE WAS A
WEEKEND TO PROCESS. IT INVOLVED
ONLY DEMOCRATS. THAT WAS THE
EQUIVALENT OF OUR CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE. SO I CONTINUE TO HAVE
SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS ABOUT THE
INCLUSIVENESS OF THIS PROCESS.
AS WELL AS THE TRANSPARENCY
BECAUSE THESE DISCUSSIONS OVER
THE WEEKEND BETWEEN- DEMOCRATIC
LEGISLATIVE LEADERS WE'RE
CERTAINLY NOT. IN PUBLIC. NOW
MAYBE THAT'S NOT THE ONLY REASON
TO OPPOSE THIS BUDGET. AND I
WOULD STATE THAT IN THE PAST I
HAVE VOTED IN FAVOR OF BUDGETS
THAT. ADD PROVISIONS IN THEM
THAT I DIDN'T LIKE. I HAD A-
CALLING ONCE SAY TO ME IF I
DON'T AGREE WITH EVERY LINE ITEM
IN THE BUDGET. I CAN'T VOTE FOR
IT WELL THAT'S SILLY. I HAVE
VOTED IN FAVOR OF BUDGETS WHERE
THERE WERE ITEMS IN THERE THAT I
DISAGREED WITH BUT MORE THAT I
DID IT DID AGREE WITH. THIS
BUDGET HAS SOME ITEMS THAT I CAN
AGREE WITH- BUT A LOT OF ITEMS
THAT I CAN'T AGREE WITH- AND I'M
NOT BY THE WAY I WANT TO GO BACK
TO THAT CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
MEETING AGAIN BECAUSE I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT-
IN THE EXAMPLE OF THAT REPLACED
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE OVER THE
WEEKEND WHAT WAS EXCLUDED
WEREN'T JUST REPUBLICANS BUT
EIGHT MILLION. CITIZENS OF
CALIFORNIA WE REPRESENT ABOUT
EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE. THAT'S
THE- PROBLEM WITH THE
INCLUSIVENESS. BUT BACK TO THE
BUDGET AS A WHOLE THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT- THIS IS SOME. OF
THIS BUDGET THAT I HAVE IS THAT
IT'S UNSUSTAINABLE. IRRESPECTIVE
OF AGREEING OR DISAGREEING WITH
INDIVIDUAL ITEMS. ARE REVENUE
ASSUMPTIONS IN THIS BUDGET. ARE
UNDERESTIMATED AND THAT IS
DOCUMENTED BY- THE OPINION OF
OUR LEGISLATIVE ANALYST NOW YOU
MAY DISAGREE WITH THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST. BUT THAT
OFFICE IS OFTEN RIGHT AND I
HAPPEN TO AGREE WITH THEM AND-
WE WHAT WE HAVE SET OURSELVES UP
FOR OURSELVES UP FOR IS DEFICIT
CONTINUING. INTO SEVERAL OUR
FUTURE YEARS WE'LL BE BACK HERE
A YEAR FROM NOW STRUGGLING WITH
THE SAME ISSUES WE'RE STRUGGLING
WITH NOW. SO ON THAT- WHOLE
BALANCE IF YOU WILL. I URGE A NO
VOTE ON THIS. CENTER WIENER.
THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT I RISE IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF THE BUDGET S.
B. ONE OH ONE AYE I REALLY WANT
TO THANK OUR LEADERSHIP- AND
BUDGET SHARING THE LEADERSHIP OF
THE ASSEMBLY- THE BUDGETARY
ASSEMBLY FOR THEIR HARD WORK.
THIS BUDGET- YOU KNOW IT REALLY
SUPPORTS SO MANY CALIFORNIA
VALUES DURING A VERY DIFFICULT-
BUDGET YEAR IT PROTECTS K.
THROUGH TWELVE- OUR PUBLIC
EDUCATION AS OUR BUDGETARY SINCE
INDICATED- I ENSURING A STRONG
ACCESS ARE FOR WORKING FAMILIES
CHILD CARE PROTECTS THE SAFETY
NET- SO MUCH OF THE SAFETY NET
FOR OUR MOST VULNERABLE.
RESIDENTS BUT I ALSO WANNA- JUST
REALLY THANK OUR LEADERSHIP AND
OUR BUDGET LEADERSHIP- FOR OUR
FOCUSING ON- AVOIDING COLLAPSE
OF OUR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION-
SYSTEMS- WE THE BUDGET THEY CAME
TO US IN THE ADMINISTRATION DID
NOT ADDRESS- THE TRANSIT
OPERATIONAL FISCAL CLIFF.
RESULTING FROM THE PANDEMIC-
THAT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME
TO FIGURE OUT OF- AND ALSO
CAUGHT SIGNIFICAN COUPLE CAPITAL
FUNDS THAT WOULD CAUSE US TO
FORFEIT SIGNIFICANT FEDERAL
CAPITAL MATCHING FUNDS FROM THE
BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW-
THIS BODY AND THE ASSEMBLY
AGREED NOT TO DO THAT. TO
CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THE FUTURE
TRANSIT AND TO TAKE STEPS NOT TO
COMPLETELY SOLVE BUT TO HAVE A
MEANINGFUL AND POSITIVE STEP
TOWARD SOLVING THE TRANSIT
OPERATION FISCAL CLIFF SO THAT
OUR CONSTITUENTS CAN CONTINUE TO
GET TO WORK. TO THE DOCTOR TO
THE SUPERMARKET THE SCHOOL- AND
I'M VERY THANKFUL HONORED IN
IDAHO. SARDAR. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT MEMBERS I JUST WANT TO
FIRST START BY SAYING. TO THE
PRESIDENT WHO. PRESIDING OFFICER
TODAY THANK YOU FOR THE HARD
WORK WITH THAT WE DID IN SUB TO
AND I WANT TO. ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE
MY GOOD FRIEND FROM THE SENATE
THE SENATOR FROM- THE NORTH
COAST- THE WORK WE DID ON
CALIFORNIA WE'VE BEEN WE'VE BEEN
PUSHING. FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS TO FIND- THAT MUCH NEEDED
FIREFIGHTERS THAT WE NEED- IN
CALIFORNIA AND THANK GOD FOR THE
RANGE I KNOW THAT IN SOME WHOSE
THE STATE WE HAVE A LITTLE TOO
MUCH WATER BUT WE'LL TAKE THAT-
BUT THESE FOLKS ON THE FRONT
LINE. EVERY DAY DEFENDING OUR
COMMUNITIES AND NOW WE HAVE. YOU
GUYS TIME THAT SO THAT WHEN THE
REPUBLICAN SPEAKER- THERE ON THE
FRONT LINES AND THEY THEY
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE
PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITIES AND-
I AM VERY GRATEFUL AND THAT'S
ONE PART OF THIS BUDGET THAT I
WOULD SAY. THAT I WHOLEHEARTEDLY
SUPPORT- THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO
ARE ARE TAKING CARE OF OUR
COMMUNITIES- IN AND WE'RE
FINDING THAT SO THANK YOU FOR
THAT I ALSO WANTED TO ALSO
RECOGNIZE THAT WE THE WORK WE
DID IN SUB TO- TO FUND THE
CONSERVANCY'S- I HAVE THIS YEAR
ABOUT A CONSERVANCY IN MY
DISTRICT. I KNOW THE SENATOR
FROM SANTA CRUZ WHO'S WORKING ON
SEA LEVEL RISE- FOR THE COASTAL
CONSERVANCY WE PUT MONEY IN
THEIR- TO DID YOU DEAL WITH THE
ISSUES THAT WE SEE. WITH CLIMATE
CHANGE. SO THANK YOU FOR THOSE
THOSE ARE THE GREAT PARTS OF THE
BUDGET AND I ALSO WANT TO JUST
A- ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THE- THE-
EDUCATION MONEY THAT WE PUT
FORTH. TO TAKE CARE OF OUR-
HIGHER ED IN OF FOR OUR K.
TWELVE I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT
NOW I WANT TO MOVE ON A LITTLE
BIT AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
OF AN AREA THAT- IT'S CONCERNING
TO ME. AND MANY OF YOU KNOW
THAT- I'M THE THIRD GENERATION
OF DOLLIES THAT ARE HAVE BEEN IN
CALIFORNIA AND I ACTUALLY RUN A
BUSINESS I DO. A PAYROLL EVERY
TWO WEEKS. AND- WE ARE LOSING
BUSINESSES IN CALIFORNIA. YOU
CANNOT HAVE A STATE BUDGET. THEY
TELL YOU HAVE A TAX PAYER FIRST.
NOW I KNOW YOU ALL PAY TAXES.
EVERYONE OF US PAY TAXES. UP BUT
BUILT THE MAJORITY OF OUR TAX
BASE COMES FROM. FROM EMPLOYERS
AND BUSINESSES THAT ARE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. AND I WANTED JUST TO
SAY THAT YOU KNOW I WANT TO
RECOGNIZE I'M LIKE A WATCHMAN ON
THE WALL I'M SOUNDING THE ALARM.
THAT WHEN WE HAVE NO BUSINESSES
LEFT IN CALIFORNIA. YOUR BUDGETS
ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE
WORSE N. WHAT WE SEEN IN THE
LAST FOUR YEARS I KNOW WE HAD
COVERT. WE SAW THREE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY TWO COMPANIES. MOVED THEIR
HEADQUARTERS OUT OF CALIFORNIA.
COMPANIES LIKE ORACLE. H. P. BIG
WORLDWIDE COMPANIES ARE LEAVING
CALIFORNIA. AND I RECALL. A
BUDGET WE HAD ABOUT EIGHT YEARS
AGO WHEN I WAS IN THE SIMPLY AND
I BROUGHT UP THE SAME POINT THAT
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A TAX. PAYING
BASS. YOU'RE GONNA LOSE
COMPANIES IN THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
FROM THE BAY AREA WHICH WAS A
ASSEMBLY MEMBER TOM MAGNANO CAME
OVER AFTER I GAVE MY- SPEECH.
AND SAID THEY'LL NEVER LEAVE.
WHEN I WAS EIGHT YEARS AGO FOLKS
THERE LEVY. WE'RE WE'RE LOSING
AND IT WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU
SOME. SOME JUST SOME. DETAIL
ABOUT SAN FRANCISCO. SEVENTEEN
RETAILERS SINCE TWENTY TWENTY
NORDSTROM'S WHOLE FOODS.
SAKSFIFTHAVENUE ANTHROPOLOGY
OFFICE DEPOT GAP MARSHALL'S
WESTFIELD GAVE UP. CONTROL OF
UNION SQUARE. WHY ARE THEY
LEAVING. BECAUSE THE POLICIES
THAT WE- PASS OUR THERE'S OUR
REGULAR REGULATORY IN NATURE
LABOR. TRANSPORTATION ISSUES
HOUSING. AND THEN JUST ON TOP OF
IT JUST THE HIGH COST OF DOING
BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA. THAT IS
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE
WITH THE LEGISLATURE IN THE
BUDGET IN THE BUDGET SET YOUR
PRIORITIES. JONAS SHARE WITH YOU
ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK WE
NEED TO WORK ON TO KEEP SOME OF
THOSE BUSINESSES IN CALIFORNIA.
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS. WE ARE
GOING TO BORROW. MONEY FROM THE
FROM THE- THREE HUNDRED SIX
MILLION DOLLARS IN A BOOK
BORROWED FROM THE UNEMPLOYMENT
QANATS COMPENSATION DISABILITY
FUNDS WERE BORROWING MONEY IN
THIS BUDGET TO PAY THE INTEREST
THAT WE OWE THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT. FOR THE SEVENTEEN
BILLION DOLLARS THAT CALIFORNIA
BUSINESSES ARE GOING TO HAVE TO
PAY. FOR UNEMPLOYMENT. NOW I PAY
THOSE TAXES. IN TWO THOUSAND
EIGHT WE SAW THE SAME THING
HAPPENED WHEN WE SAW THE HOUSING
MARKET CRASH AND WE HAD THE
GREAT RECESSION OF TWO THOUSAND
EIGHT. IT TOOK US TEN YEARS IS
BUSINESSES TO PAY THAT OFF.
THAT'S A HIT TO CALIFORNIA
BUSINESSES. AND I WILL REMIND
YOU THAT WE HAD THIRTY BILLION
DOLLARS. IN FRAUD. PEOPLE PRISON
WERE GETTING CHECKS FROM
UNEMPLOYMENT DURING COVERT. OUR
BUSINESSES ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE
OF THOSE TYPE OF POLICIES WE
NEED TO TAKE CARE OF CALIFORNIA
BUSINESSES. I LIKE TO MOVE ON.
TO THE FOUR HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS THAT THIS BUDGET
ALLOCATES. FROM PRISON CLOSURES
TO THE GENERAL FUND. SO WE ARE
FUNDING OUR GENERAL FUND. WITH
MONEY THAT NORMALLY GOES INTO.
KEEPING CRIMINALS. IN PRISON.
NOW I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A POLICY
OR OR THE BODY THE PARTING
CONTROL AS A POLICY OF NOT
WANTING TO PUT ANYBODY PRESENT.
AND I THINK THAT THERE'S WAS
SOME GOOD MOVES FOR THAT PEOPLE
WHO WERE SELLING MARIJUANA
TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO. SHOULD BE
IN PRISON FOR THAT TODAY BUT WE
HAVE VIOLENT CRIME IN CALIFORNIA
. HOMICIDES HAVE INCREASED BY
40% RAPES HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED
. AGGREGATED OF ASSAULTS BUT UP
BY 35% LARGELY DUE TO
PROPOSITION FORTY SEVEN. AND
FIFTY SEVEN. WELL FOLKS. CRIME
IS GOING UP IN CALIFORNIA THAT'S
WHY BUSINESS REALLY THAT'S WHY
PEOPLE DON'T FEEL SAFE SO WE'RE
BALANCING THE BUDGETS. ON THE
BACKS OF LETTING OUR COMMUNITIES
NOT BE SAFE. THAT'S WRONG. THE
NUMBER ONE THING THAT
CALIFORNIANS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO
IN THIS LEGISLATURE IS KEEP OUR
CITIZENS SAFE. AND THEY'RE NOT
SAY. NOW I WANT TO MOVE ON TO
HEALTH CARE. WE HAVE IN CO TAX
WHICH I KNOW IS NOT FULLY COOKED
. BUT WE'RE GONNA PET THAT'S
GOING TO BE PASSED. PERCENT OF
THAT TAX IS GOING TO GO TO
HEALTH CARE AND 55% OF ITS GOING
TO GO TO. THE GENERAL FUND. SO
WHAT MESSAGE ARE WE SENDING
CALIFORNIANS. THAT WE'RE GOING
TO BALANCE THIS BUDGET. ON THE
BACKS OF HEALTH CARE. WHEN WE
SEE HOSPITAL'S INTERSTATE
SHUTTING DOWN. THEY HAVE ZERO
TAX MONEY SHOULD GO TO HEALTH
CARE. NOT TO BALANCING THE
BUDGET NOW I ASK MY GOOD FRIEND
FROM STOCKTON WHO'S BEEN WORKING
ON SOCIAL SERVICES PROP SIXTY
THREE REALIGNMENT ISSUES AND I.
FOUND OUT THAT POSSIBLY SOME OF
THAT IS YOUR MONEY TO GO TO THE
GENERAL FUND COULD FUND-
PROGRAMS- THAT SHE'S IN WE ARE
WORKING ON TO GET THROUGH THIS
IS SAM SENATE THE LEGISLATURE
AND I APPLAUD THAT I THINK
THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD DO. WE
SHOULD USE THAT MCO TAX. FOR
HEALTH CARE. FOR THINGS LIKE I'D
FIVE. VISITS AND TEETH. CHILDREN
TO GO TO YOU SEE THAT GETS EYES
DIE. GET THEIR TEETH IT. NOW BY
LAST SECTION I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT IS. WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH
THE CLIMATE CHANGE AND WHAT THIS
LEGISLATURE IS PROPOSING.
BETWEEN NOW AND TWENTY THIRTY WE
HAVE SET SOME SERIOUS GOALS AND
HOW WE'RE GOING TO REDUCE. OUR
CARBON FOOTPRINT. LAST YEAR WE
TOOK ACTION. TO EXTEND DIABLO
OKAY I'M CANYON BECAUSE WE NEED
ELECTRICITY CALIFORNIA IF WE'RE
GOING TO. ELECTRIFY ALL
TRANSPORTATION IN CALIFORNIA.
WITH ELECTRICITY WE'RE GOING TO
NEED TWENTY FIVE. GIGAWATTS YEP
POWER NOW. IT ARE SAID TO WE
TALKED ABOUT WIND ENERGY AND
OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY. I JUST
WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT. IT'S
TWO THOUSAND WIND TURBINES TO
GET YOU TO TWENTY FIVE
GIGAWATTS. THAT'S WHAT THIS
LEGISLATURE IS SIGNALING. IN
THIS BUDGET THAT WE'RE GOING TO
MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION. AND AT
THE SAME TIME. WE'RE TAKING AWAY
ONE TIME MONIES THAT WE HAD LAST
YEAR TO DO PROJECTS LIKE THE
OROVILLE DAM PUMP STORAGE WHICH
IS FIVE HUNDRED MEGAWATTS. FIVE
HUNDRED MEGAWATTS. ONLIN EQUATES
TO FORTY TWO. OFFSHORE WIND
TURBINES. THIS PROJECTS. ALREADY
BEEN. EVALUATED IT'S READY TO GO
AND WE'RE TAKING MONEY AWAY FROM
THAT AND WE'RE FOCUSING MORE ON
PUTTING WINTERS ARE OCEAN WE
DON'T HAVE. THE IT IT IMPACTS TO
NATIVE AMERICANS TO FISHERIES
AND ENVIRONMENT AND I THINK
THAT'S FOR THE FUTURE OF
CALIFORNIA IS THE WRONG WAY TO
GO. WE CAN'T EVEN GET A
DESALINATION PLANT PERMITTED IN
CALIFORNIA AND WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT PUTTING TWO THOUSAND.
OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES OFF OUR
COAST. WHERE'S THE
ENVIRONMENTALISTS ON THAT ISSUE.
WE CAN'T GET SITES RESERVOIR WE
CAN'T GET OR REAL. BILL WHICH
HAD BEEN FUNDED AND NOW THE
MONEY'S GOING AWAY SO MEMBERS.
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING FOR
BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA. THERE'S
NOT ONE THING IN THIS BUDGET.
IT'S GOING TO HELP A CALIFORNIA
BUSINESS STAY IN CALIFORNIA.
MORE REGULATION. HIGHER HIGHER
ENERGY COST. HIGHER TAXES FOR
THEIR PAYROLL. WHAT'S THE
INCENTIVE TO STAY IN CALIFORNIA
. SO AS THAT WATCHMEN ON THE
WALL SOUNDING THE ALARM. TO MY
CONSTITUENTS AND PEOPLE OUT IN
CALIFORNIA THIS IS NOT
SUSTAINABLE. IF WE WANT TO LEAD.
LESLIE I HAVE SOME SOLUTIONS
REAL SOLUTIONS WOULD MAKE
CALIFORNIA BUSINESSES HERE. WE
NEED TO INCREASE THE ABILITY FOR
THEM TO RIDE OFF FOR NEW
EQUIPMENT. IN CALIFORNIA YOU GET
TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS AS
A WRITE OFF WHEN YOU BUY A NEW
PIECE OF EQUIPMENT TO HELP.
PROMOTE JOBS IN CALIFORNIA. THE
FEDERAL RATES A MILLION. THAT'S
WHAT'S WRONG WITH CALIFORNIA
THERE'S NO INCENTIVE. FOR A
BUSINESS TO STAY IN CALIFORNIA
AND SO I APPRECIATE THE PARTS OF
THE BUDGET WHAT WE'RE GOING TO
HELP. SECURE CALIFORNIA SAFETY
WITH WITH FIREFIGHTERS IN THE
CONSERVANCY'S BUT FOR THE REST
OF THE BUDGET I CAN'T SUPPORT IT
FOR THOSE REASONS I WILL NOT BE
SUPPORTING THIS BILL TODAY THANK
YOU. THERE ARE SEYARTO. THANK
YOU MR PRESIDENT AND COLLEAGUES-
THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME TODAY
IN AND OUT UNFORTUNATELY HAVE TO
RISE IN OPPOSITION. TO THIS
PARTICULAR BUDGET. I THINK ALL
OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE DONE A
GREAT JOB OF OUTLINING SOME OF
THE POSITIVE THINGS AND I AGREE
WITH THOSE POSITIVE THINGS. BUT
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE
DOING OUR ACTUALLY HAMPERING OUR
EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE OUR LONGER
TERM GOALS. INCLUDING CLIMATE
CHANGE GOALS HOUSING GOALS
HOMELESSNESS GOALS IN PUBLIC
SAFETY GOALS- I. DON'T WANT TO
REPEAT EVERYTHING THAT MY- MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE ALREADY SAID-
BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT OUR
TRANSPORTATION JUST A LITTLE
BIT. BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR
TRANSPORTATION MONIES ARE BEING
FOCUSED IN AREAS- AND IN TRANSIT
AND THAT'S GREAT. BUT THERE'S A
PROBLEM WITH THAT WHEN YOU'RE
CONSIDERING OUR HOME BACK IN OUR
HOUSING ISSUES. BECAUSE THE
INLAND AREAS ARE AREAS THAT ARE
EXPECTED TO GROW AND THEY'RE
EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO. ABSORB A
LOT OF HOUSING. BOTH MULTI
FAMILY AND SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING
. AND WITHOUT THE TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE GROUND
WHICH MEANS ROADS AND YES
FREEWAYS. AND THOSE TYPE OF
THINGS AT ALL WE'RE GOING TO DO.
IS SLOW THAT PROGRESS DOWN. AND
WHEN WE SLOW THAT PROGRESS DOWN
THAT MEANS LOTS OF TRAFFIC IN
THE INLAND EMPIRE AREAS WHICH IS
WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY. AND WHEN
WE HAVE LOTS OF TRAFFIC AND IT
TAKES TWO HOURS INSTEAD OF.
THIRTY MINUTES TO GET HOME
THAT'S TWO HOURS OF CARS IDLING
ON THE FREEWAYS AND EVEN IF YOU
HAVE AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE YES
STILL NEED. ROADS TO TRAVEL ON.
MANY OF THE OVER THE DEVELOPED
AREAS ALREADY ORANGE COUNTY LOS
ANGELES COUNTY SAN FRANCISCO IN
A LOT OF THOSE AREAS ALREADY
HAVE THEIR ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE
IN. BUT A LOT OF OUR AREAS
DON'T. AND IF WE DON'T GET IT IN
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO
PARTICIPATE IN ACHIEVING THE
GOALS THAT. HAVE BEEN LAID OUT
FOR US IN THE NEXT TWENTY YEARS
. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I
THINK WE REALLY NEED TO PAY
ATTENTION TO AND IN THIS BUDGET
OR FUTURE BUDGET OR AS WE GO
ALONG AND ARE IN OUR TRAILER
BILLS. IS WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME
SIGNIFICANT INFRASTRUCTURE
INVESTMENT IN AREAS THAT DON'T
HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE BUT ARE
EXPECTED TO GROW. BECAUSE WE
WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT. THE
OTHER THING I WANTED TO TALK
ABOUT. IS THE HOSPITAL'S.
EVERYBODY I TALKED TO EVERY
HOSPITAL EXECUTIVE THAT I TALKED
TO. THEY'RE STRUGGLING YOU GUYS
. THE MCO TAX. NEEDS TO BOLSTER
WHAT WE'RE ALREADY SPENDING ON
I'M NOT REPLACE SOME OF WHAT
WE'RE SPENDING AND THEN A LITTLE
BIT MORE ON THE TOP. IF WE DO AN
MCO TAX THAT TAX NEEDS TO GO
INTO THE HOSPITALS SO THEY CAN
ABSORB. THE AMOUNT OF PATIENCE
ESPECIALLY MEDIC CALLING
MEDICAID PATIENTS. THAT ARE
GOING ON TO THE ROLES. OTHERWISE
THAT SYSTEM'S GOING TO FAIL AND
NOBODY IS GOING TO HAVE THE
MEDICAL CARE SYSTEM FOR THE
MEDICAL CARE THAT THEY NEED. AND
SO THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT I
WOULD ADVISE US TO REALLY LOOK
AT HARD. IS IF WE'RE DOING AN
MCO TAX THAT NCO TAX NEEDS TO GO
TO THE HOSPITAL ON TOP OF
WHATEVER IT IS IN OUR BUDGET
THAT WE ALREADY SPEND. TO MAKE
THOSE HOSPITALS HOLE. HIS HIDE
LEFT OUT ON THE TRANSPORTATION
ISSUES. I UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO
KEEP OUR- TRANSIT AGENCIES HOLE
. HOWEVER IT'S NOT A JOBS
PROGRAM IT'S NOT A JUST
TRANSPORTATION FOR PEOPLE WHO
DON'T HAVE IT. THEY HAVE TO BE
SUCCESSFUL THAT HAS TO BE
SUCCESSFUL IF WE DON'T MAKE THAT
SUCCESSFUL THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
HAVE THAT IF THEY DON'T HAVE
JOBS THEY DON'T NEED IT. BUT THE
BOTTOM LINE IS THERE IS
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSIT
AGENCY ONE OF THOSE ARE PUT
TOGETHER THOSE ARE SUPPOSED TO.
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR
THEMSELVES WITH A LITTLE
SUBSIDY. FROM THE STATE. RIGHT
NOW IT'S A BUNCH OF SUBSIDY FROM
THE STATE. AS PEOPLE HAVE
STOPPED WRITING AND THERE'S A
REASON THEY STOP WRITING IT I
DON'T MIND BOLSTERING AND
KEEPING THEM ALIVE IF. THEY
RECOGNIZE WHAT THE ISSUES ARE
THAT ARE KEEPING PEOPLE FROM
WRITING THAT IF PEOPLE PEOPLE
THAT HAVE A CHOICE FROM RE
ENGAGING. IN THAT RIDERSHIP. AND
THAT'S THE PUBLIC SAFETY PART OF
IT AND THAT'S THE CLEANLINESS
PART OF IT AND THAT'S THE
RELIABILITY PART OF IT. IF THE
TRANSIT AGENCIES SAID HERE'S OUR
PLAN TO ADDRESS THESE THREE
DURING THE HERE'S HOW MUCH IT'S
GOING TO COST. I MEAN THERE. BUT
I NEVER HEARD THAT THEY HAVE THE
FLEXIBILITY I SAW THAT AND I
LIKE THAT THERE'S FLEXIBILITY IN
THE FUNDING WE ARE PROVIDING.
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT
FLEXIBILITY IS GOING TO GO
TOWARDS. IF IT'S SIMPLY GOING TO
GO TOWARDS TRYING TO ADD TO A
SYSTEM THAT'S ALREADY BROKEN AND
NOBODY WANTS TO WRITE BECAUSE
IT'S NOT SAFE AND IT'S NOT CLEAN
AND IT'S NOT RELIABLE. THEY WERE
WASTING OUR MONEY. AND THAT'S
MONEY THAT COULD BE SPENT.
BUILDING THE ROADS THAT WE NEED
IN THE AREAS WE HAVE A BILL
BROKE YET. SO I FEAR THAT SYSTEM
. DO YOU IDEA WHAT BORROW MONEY
. FROM OTHER A- TO PAY FOR THE
INTO. ON MONEY THAT WE BORROWED
. AND STOP PAYING THE PRINCIPAL
. IN THE REAL WORLD THAT'S
CALLED. A PRETENSE A PRECURSOR
TO BANKRUPTCY. BECAUSE THAT'S
NOT HOW YOU MANAGE MONEY. WE
HAVE TO MAKE AND ESPECIALLY WHEN
THIS YOU IDEA THAT. DIRECTLY
AFFECTS BUSINESSES THAT ARE
ALREADY STRUGGLING AND WHEN
BUSINESSES STRUGGLE THEY CAN
HIRE EMPLOYEES AND WHEN WE CAN
HIRE EMPLOYEES WE HAVE PEOPLE
THAT ARE UNEMPLOYED AND CAN'T
WORK AND CAN'T AFFORD RENT AND
CAN'T AFFORD A HOUSE. AND IF
THEY CAN'T DO ANY OF THOSE
THINGS HERE THEY'RE GONNA LEAVE
JUST LIKE MY COLLEAGUES HAVE
SAID. SO THAT'S KIND OF LIKE A
CANARY IN THE COAL MINE. WHEN
WE'RE BORROWING. TO PAY INTEREST
ON MONEY WE BORROWED AND WE STOP
PAYING PRINCIPAL. THAT'S A
PROBLEM. WE WENT THROUGH A LOT
OF COMMITTEE HEARINGS. AND- AND
I HAVE TO. GIVE KUDOS. TO
CHAIRED RAZA ON SUB FIVE. WE
WENT THROUGH A LOT OF BILLS. AND
THEY HAVE. BEEN MISS BORROW UP
TO MY- MY COLLEAGUES. FROM THE
BAY AREA. HAS ALREADY SAID YOU
KNOW WE ARE ALL THERE WE HAD
HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF HEARINGS
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
BEING PRESENT. M. BEING HEARD.
AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT. IS WE'RE THERE.
BUT WE'RE NOT HEARD. WE HAVE
THREE HUNDRED BILLS COME OUT OF
SUB FIVE. I HAD I HAD TO VOTE NO
ON SEVENTY OF THEM. AND YOU
GOTTA THINK THAT OUT OF THOSE
SEVENTY BILLS AT LEAST ONE OF
THEM MIGHT APPEAL. MIGHT HAVE
THE SAME REASONING TO SAY HEY
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S PROBABLY
NOT A GOOD A GOOD EXPENDITURE OF
MONEY. BUT THAT'S NOT HOW IT
WORKS. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT. SO ANYWAY. I AM
SITTING IN A ROOM ARE STANDING
IN A ROOM FULL OF HIGHLY
INTELLIGENT AND THOUGHTFUL
PEOPLE WE KNOW HOW TO CONNECT
THE DOTS. AND RIGHT NOW A LOT OF
THESE DOTS ARE NOT CONNECTING TO
US BEING SUCCESSFUL. IN OUR
GOALS. AND WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE
THAT IN THIS IS THE BODY THAT
NEEDS TO FIX IT. AND IT AND PAY
ATTENTION TO THAT AND TRULY
LISTEN TO SOME OF THE THOUGHTS
AND IDEAS AND NEEDS. FROM THOSE
OTHER AREAS. BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH
WE DON'T HAVE THE VOTES TO
CONTROL WE DO REPRESENT A LOT OF
PEOPLE THAT ARE REALLY REALLY
FRUSTRATED OUT THERE. SO WITH
THAT I AM GOING TO VOTE NO I
KNOW THIS WILL PASS. AND I
CONGRATULATE YOU ON THAT. BUT I
SURE WISH WE WOULD HAVE A
PROCESS THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO
PARTICIPATE SO EVERYBODY IN
CALIFORNIA CAN FEEL LIKE. THEIR
VOICES ARE BEING HEARD THANK YOU
. THERE THERE. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MR PRESIDENT- I WOULD LIKE
TO START- AS THE CHAIR OF THE
EDUCATION BUDGET SUB COMMITTEE
WITH JUST SAYING AGAIN CLEARLY.
WHAT IS IN THIS BUDGET FOR
EDUCATION. WE ARE DOING AN EIGHT
POINT 2% INCREASE FOR K. THROUGH
FOURTEEN EDUCATION. ARE WE HAVE
A 5% INCREASE FOR CSU A 5%
INCREASE FOR YOU SEE. WHERE THE
MAY REFER WERE ACTUALLY THE
JANUARY TENTH BUDGET WANT TO CUT
BACK OUR INVESTMENT IN HIGHER
EDUCATION HOUSING WHICH BOTH
HELP STRUGGLING STUDENTS IT CAN
FIND HOUSING RELIEVES PRESSURE
ON THE HOUSING MARKET DIDN'T
COMMUNITIES SURROUNDING.
COMMUNITIES AND PROVIDES JOBS
THAT IS RESTORED THE FULL AMOUNT
OF THE THREE AND A HALF BILLION
THAT WAS PUT IN BY THE
LEGISLATURE THE LAST TWO YEARS
IS THERE. AND MUCH HAS BEEN
SAID. ABOUT BUSINESS PRACTICES
AND WHAT IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS
ONE OF THE BEST THINGS TO FOR
BUSINESS IS INVESTMENT. AND OUR
INVESTMENT IN EDUCATION WHICH
THREE DOWNS TO EVERYBODY AND
BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA HAS MOVED
CALIFORNIA FROM BEING IN THE
LOWER 10% PER CAPITA OF SPENDING
ON K. THROUGH TWELVE EDUCATION
AMONG THE FIFTY STATES TO THE
TOP THIRD. THAT IS REALLY A
SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCE AND THAT
IS INVESTMENT IN THIS BODY
BEFORE I CAME BACK TO IT
INVESTED IN ROADS IN A
SIGNIFICANT WAY. THAT MAKES THE
DIFFERENCE- OF THE FOUR
COMPANIES NEEDING EMPLOYEES TO
COMMUTE AND DO DIFFERENT THINGS
AND THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSION
ABOUT. THE MCO TAX WHAT BE CLEAR
WHAT'S ACTUALLY INTRODUCE SOME
FACTS INTO THE DISCUSSION IN THE
WORKING PROPOSAL ALL LEVIN POINT
ONE BILLION DOLLARS GOES TO
RAISE MEDICAL RECORDS. EIGHT
MILLION GOES TO MAKE SURE IN A
THIRTY ONE BILLION DOLLAR
DEFICIT THAT PROGRAM IS NOT CUT.
AND WHEN THIS WAS FIRST ENACTED.
UNDER. A REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR.
NONE OF THE MONEY WENT TO. RAY
THE RATES IT WENT ENTIRELY TO
PROTECT THE PROGRAM IN THE FACE
OF PROPOSED REDUCTIONS AND SO
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME. THAT IT
WILL ACTUALLY GO INTO THE RATES
AND BE REALIZED BY PROVIDERS
WHETHER THEIR HOSPITALS OR
INDIVIDUAL PROVIDERS ACROSS THE
STATE AND YES. IN THE FINAL
NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE GOVERNOR
THAT COULD SHIFT A LITTLE BUT MY
VIEW IS THE OUTLINE OF THE
PROGRAM WILL SUFFICE. AND THAT
IS VERY SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE IT
AND WE NEED ACTUALLY MUCH MORE
THAN TO BE ABLE TO DO BUT THIS
WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG
TIME THAT WE HAD IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION WITH OUR RATES FOR
MEDICARE. AND WHEN WE LOOK AT
THE TROUBLED HOSPITALS IN THE
STATE THE PLACE THAT THE
SIGNIFICANT TROUBLE EXISTS. IS
WHERE THERE'S A MIX OF PAY FEES
WERE AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY
OUR PUBLIC PAYS OF MEDIC HOW- A
MEDICARE. AND THE LINE. SO IF WE
ARE REYES RATES WE ARE HELPING
THOSE DISTRESSED HOSPITALS AND
SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT
THIS IS NOT LIKELY GOING INTO
THE GENERAL FUND TO JUST GO.
**** NILLY IT'S GOING TO PROTECT
CUTS AGAINST CUTS IN A THIRTY
ONE BILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT AND
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE IT WAS
ENACTED RAISE THE RATES FOR
MEDICARE. AND ON THE ISSUE OF
OFFSHORE WIND- AND THE MAJORITY
LEADER AND I HAVE THE TWO
PROPOSALS. THAT IS A SUBSTANTIAL
EXPONENTIAL PROVISION OF
RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY COMPARED
TO ANYTHING ELSE IN THERE IS
LEGISLATION TO ACTUALLY BRING
THE STAKEHOLDERS TO THE TABLE
AND HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS I
KNOW. IN A- IN THE FIRST WEEKS
OF A JOB I ONCE HAD THAT THE
SENATOR FROM BAKERSFIELD CAN
DETAIL ARE CLEARLY. I NEGOTIATED
WITH TRIBES I BROUGHT THEM TO
THE TABLE I MOVE THEM FROM
OPPOSITION TO SUPPORT FOR MARINE
PROTECTED AREAS THAT IS EXACTLY
WHAT WILL HAPPEN. OF WITH WIND
HAS THE PROPOSAL'S BECOME CLEAR
AS THEY GO THROUGH AN
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS AND
WHEN YOU JUST LOOK AT WHAT WE
HAVE TO DO THAT IS PROBABLY
GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST SOURCE
IN A WHOLE MIX. OF THINGS THAT
PROVIDED AND THAT'S WHY THIS
BUDGET PROVIDES SOME SUPPORT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE BRING THAT ON
AS SOON AS WE CAN. SO I REALLY
THINK THAT THAT WHAT WE HAVE
HERE. IS WE HAVE A BUDGET THAT
INVESTS A BUDGET THAT IS
BALANCED A BUDGET THAT EVEN IF
WE DIDN'T NEGOTIATE. WITH THE
GOVERNOR IF HE'S- WE WOULD BE
PROUD OF. AND SO I THINK IT
ADDRESSES ALL THOSE ISSUES IT IS
THE PRODUCT OF A HUNDRED AND TWO
SUBCOMMITTEE HEARINGS I CHAIRED
A NUMBER OF THEM AND WE DID. ARE
INCORPORATED BROAD VIEWS INTO
THE OUTCOMES AND THE OUTCOMES
THAT WERE NEGOTIATED REFLECT
THOSE DIRECTIONS OF THE SUB
COMMITTEE SO THERE HAS BEEN
EXTENSIVE PROCESS HERE. AND I
KNOW ON THE ONE THAT STAYED FOR
EVERY PUBLIC COMMENT AT ANY OF
THE TEN HEARINGS AND WE HAVE
HUNDREDS OF HUNDREDS IN ADDITION
IN PERSON AND OVER THE
TELECONFERENCES SO I BELIEVE
THIS IS THE RESULT OF COULD
PROCESS. IT REALLY INVEST IN THE
FUTURE AND- I REQUEST AND I'M
FROM. THERE IS ALSO. THANK YOU
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I JUST
WANT TO ADD A LITTLE BIT ON THE
ISSUE OF THE TRANSPORTATION.
LAST YEAR WE MADE IT OUR
PRIORITY IN THIS BODY AND WITH
ALL OF THE BOTH HOUSES WE MADE
IT A PRIORITY THAT WE WERE GOING
TO PUSH FOR FAR MORE MONEY IN
TRANSPORTATION THAN HAT THAN HAD
EVER BEEN SPENT. AND WITH OUR
LEADERSHIP AND FINALLY WITH AT
THE END WITH THE GOVERNOR WE
DOUBLED. DOUBLE THE BUDGET ON
TRANSPORTATION THAT WAS A HUGE
HUGE ISSUE- THIS YEAR OF COURSE
WE HEARD IN OUR OUR OUR SUB
COMMITTEE WE HEARD TESTIMONY
FROM TRANSIT AGENCIES WHO SAID.
WE NEED YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO CLOSE DOWN SERVICE WE'RE
GOING TO CUT SERVICE WE'RE GONNA
DO ALL THESE HAVE TO DO ALL
THESE TERRIBLE THINGS. BECAUSE
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY AND
IT WAS A REAL STRUGGLE BACK AND
FORTH BECAUSE WE HAVE BOTH THE
NEEDS THAT MY COLLEAGUE
MENTIONED ABOUT THE CAPITAL THE
NEED TO BUILD OUT FURTHER
CONTINUE TO BUILD OUT. EVEN IN
AN AREA LIKE LOS ANGELES WE HAVE
THE POPULATION SO BIG WE STILL
HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BUILD OUT.
AND SO THAT DEBATE WAS HAD WE
HEARD LOTS OF TESTIMONY AND IN
THE END IN THIS BILL I THINK
IT'S THE PERFECT BALANCE THAT IS
WE'RE GOING TO. OF A COMMIT
WE'RE PUSHING TO COMMIT- OVER
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS INTO
TRANSPORTATION. SO THAT THERE
WILL BE NO CUTS IN FACT WERE
ADDING TO IT AND WE'RE GOING TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF OPERATIONS
SO THAT THERE IS A HUNDRED
PERCENT. OF FLEXIBILITY IN THOSE
AREAS THAT NEED IT. AND THAT
WON'T PREVENT OTHER AREAS FROM
USING THEIR FOR CAPITAL HOWEVER
THAT ONCE THAT NEED IS ON THE
LOCAL GROUND THAT'S WITH THE
DECISION WILL BE MADE. I THINK
IT'S A GREAT SOLUTION. AND WE
HEARD EVERYONE WHO CAME TO THE
COMMITTEE AND- AND- PRISON THEIR
POINT OF VIEW SO WITH THAT JUST
AS MANY MANY OTHER ISSUES- I
STRONGLY SUPPORT THIS BILL.
THANK YOU I SEE NO OTHER
DISCUSSION DEBATE CENTER SKINNER
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE. THANK
YOU SO MUCH APPRECIATE THE-
CONVERSATION BY OUR COLLEAGUES
IN A WANT TO THANK OUR COLLEAGUE
FROM. SANTA CRUZ FOR GIVING THAT
CLEAR EXPLANATION ON MCO AND OUR
EDUCATION FUNDING AND ALSO OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM LOS ANGELES.
AROUND OUR EFFORTS FOR- THE
TRANSIT FUNDING WHICH AS I
MENTIONED IS REALLY TO AN ABLE
TO ENSURE THAT THE ESSENTIAL
TRANSPORTATION THAT ARE TRANSIT
OPERATORS PROVIDE FOR THOSE
CALIFORNIANS ARE TRANSIT
DEPENDENT OF WHICH THERE ARE
MANY. SO WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING
ABOUT- IF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE
NOW NO LONGER HAVING TO GO TO AN
OFFICE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL
THE PEOPLE THAT STILL. HAVE
BASICALLY NO OTHER OPTIONS BUT
TRANSIT AND IF THAT FUNDING IS
NOT RESTORED THAT SERVICE CUTS
WOULD BE SUCH THAT WE BASICALLY
ABANDONED THEM SO IT IS A VERY
IMPORTANT PART OF THIS BUDGET
WHICH I'M VERY PROUD. AND THEN
FINALLY I WANT TO MENTION THAT
YOU KNOW CALIFORNIA THERE'S-
IT'S SO- COMMON NOW WHEN WE TURN
ON THE TV NEWS TO HAVE EVERY
SINGLE NEWS REPORT OPEN WITH THE
CRIME REPORT. AND THEN FOR US TO
YOU KNOW IT'S NOT EVEN THAT IT'S
SO NEW IT'S BEEN A FEATURE OF A
TV NEWS FOR FOREVER BUT IT SEEMS
TO BE SOMETHING THAT MANY PEOPLE
HAVE LATCHED ONTO. AND
PERPETUATE A MYTH ABOUT THIS BIG
CRIME INCREASE THAT WE HAVE. IF
YOU LOOK AT THE DATA WHETHER YOU
LOOK AT THE P. P. I. C. REPORTS
THE L. A. O.'S REPORTS OR ANY
OTHER NUMBER OF REPORTS
CALIFORNIA'S CRIME IN VIOLENT
CRIME FOR SURE. HAS NOT GONE UP
SIGNIFICANTLY AT ALL THERE WAS A
SPIKE IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE IT IS
NOT BEEN REFLECTED IN TWENTY
TWENTY TWO AND IF WE LOOK AT THE
LAST DECADE. AND IF WE- THEIR
CARPOOL FOR ALL CRIME RATES ARE
DOWN AND IF WE. LOOK AT THE
PERIODS SINCE. NINETY THEY ARE
SEEKING. DOWN AND SO THIS IS
REFER IN WE HAD A HIGH AT AT THE
HIGHEST POINT IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE TWO THOUSAND TWO THOUSAND
AND SIX ACTUALLY WE HAD A PRISON
POPULATION OF A HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND. TODAY OUR
PRISON POPULATION IS IN THE
NINETY THOUSANDS NOW ANY OF US
WHO BELIEVE IN RESPONSIBLE
BUDGETING. AND WHO WANT TO USE
OUR THE- CALIFORNIANS HARD
EARNED MONEY THAT FUNDS ARE
GENERAL FUND IN A WAY THAT.
CORRECTLY ALLOCATES FUNDING WE
WOULD NOT EVER JUSTIFY PAYING
FOR IN MAINTAINING. FIFTEEN
THOUSAND EMPTY PRISON BEDS. SO I
THINK THE REFERENCE TO. LOOKING
AT HOW WE ARE RE DEFECT
REDIRECTING SOME FINDING THAT
FROM OUR PRISON CLOSURES THE
SAVINGS AND PUTTING IT IN
GENERAL FUND. THAT THAT IS
RESPONSIBLE BUDGETING AND
ADDITIONALLY THAT FUNDING THAT
IS NOW IN GENERAL FUND IS THE
TYPE OF MONEY THAT'S ENABLING US
IN A YEAR LIKE THIS WHERE WE
HAVE A GENERAL FUND SHORTFALL.
TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE FOR
EXAMPLE ANOTHER YEAR OF ARE
HOMELESS. ARE HAPPY TWENTY FOUR
TO CONTINUE INVESTMENT IN
CHILDCARE SO I THINK THOSE ARE
THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE NEED
TO APPRECIATE WHEN WE LOOK AT
HOW THIS BUDGET WAS CONSTRUCTED.
AND I COULD OBVIOUSLY TALK IN
MORE DETAIL BUT I'LL LEAVE IT
AND I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE
GREAT WORK THAT THE SUBCOMMITTEE
STATED AND OUR STAFF AND WITHOUT
AYE OSPREY AYE VOTE. SECRETARY
