Despite this economic crisis, the Democrats&#8217; backroom budget deal has prioritized pet projects and includes a $9 billion tax increase on our job creators,&#8221; said Senator Grove. &#8220;Today&#8217;s incomplete and poorly prioritized budget is the result of last-minute discussions that lacked public transparency. Californians deserve better.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s saddening to see the general unwillingness of Democrats to make adjustments to their budget\u2014especially when they\u2019re demanding such extreme sacrifices from hard-working Californians. However, we can remain grateful that there are leaders like Senator Shannon Grove, who is willing to criticize this injustice and demand a budget that works for Californians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/23024164@N06\/8179870881\/in\/photolist-dsPYCz-j3RbuX-9K2QYL-H8HvUw-262Jfmo-fBLJKg-5bGH1i-8VDGXW-2efeo9W-avZkpD-8T9DZK-72Gf7r-8twPji-5kSjkd-p1neXi-hUFt83-gUsjkt-2enrewv-RrwT86-4AQjyp-TN8bHh-MB7Htr-fkBXun-gFm2j5-7m2qGc-ahwGjA-6vPAd9-YKdyU-2ehs2YN-Tr1PBo-gTMbf7-4nGJEU-2eHTupJ-7qrdKp-2aasFaG-dwRe7P-RrHmfc-CnEBgu-ahtNwe-fysKT5-qxrQUJ-6qugSU-8yDQFd-7oA2WP-WrFS1M-57YUEB-p6t9pC-dPZPyr-awvkAp-2fmvRXn\">Photo by Damian Gadal via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>State Senate Republican Leader Shannon Grove spoke out regarding the recently passed 2020-2021 state budget proposal, which has already received criticism from other Republican leaders across the state.
