SACRAMENTO \u2013 Senator Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel) issued the following statement today regarding Governor Gavin Newsom\u2019s\u00a02020-21 budget proposal<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI give the Governor credit for increasing Rainy Day Fund reserves, investing in teacher training, and enhancing the state\u2019s emergency response capabilities to deal with threats such as wildfires.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is also encouraging that the Governor wants to reduce the tax on new small businesses, which is telling given his very unfortunate signing of Assembly Bill 5 last year that has hurt workers who want to be independent contractors. Yet his desire to spend almost $20 million to enforce AB 5 will further hurt the very workers he claims to be helping. The better option is for him to work with the Legislature and all stakeholders this year to fix AB 5\u2019s job-killing flaws and make the law\u00a0fair for all, rather than creating winners and losers via the exemption process.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs former Governor Jerry Brown once said, \u2018everything that goes up comes down.\u2019 I am concerned that Governor Newsom plans to increase overall spending to a historic high of $222 billion, which will increase the pressure for painful cuts or tax increases when the next recession hits. For example, his push to expand Medi-Cal to more undocumented immigrants is a false promise. Expanding such benefits would make it more difficult to provide health care services for current Medi-Cal enrollees.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, I share the Governor\u2019s desire to address homelessness, but we cannot just spend more on the status quo and expect different results. More funding needs to be combined with more accountability and public safety. Californians want to help the homeless, but they also want to live in safe and clean communities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
