SACRAMENTO<\/strong> – The Governor’s mandated shutdown has left more than six million Californians unemployed and shuttered businesses. Today, Senate Republican Leader Shannon Grove<\/a> (R-Bakersfield<\/em>) released the following statement after the Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC) announced the cancellation of a crucial hearing on August 11 that would have been an opportunity to audit the Employment Development Department (EDD).<\/p>\n

Republicans will continue to fight for our residents because California deserves better,” Senate Republican Leader Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield<\/em>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
