THE GOVERNOR UNVEILED HIS NEW
BUDGET VERY EARLY ON IN JANUARY
OF THIS VERY EXCITING.
BECAUSE MUCH OF WHAT WAS
DETAILED IN THE BUDGET I REALLY
DID NOT CHANGE IN MAY.
AND MANY OF THOSE PROPOSALS
REFLECTED MUCH OF WHAT WE AS AN
ASSEMBLY HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING
FOR WHETHER IT WAS.
HEALTH CARE FOR MORE
CALIFORNIANS OR INCREASING THE
EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT OR
ENSURING THAT WE HAVE -- MORE
INVESTMENT IN EARLY CHILDHOOD
EDUCATION THOSE ARE ALL ISSUES
THAT WE'RE VERY PROUD TO HAVE
BEEN CHAMPING OF THE LAST FEW
YEARS.
AND IN PARTICULAR WERE VERY
HAPPY TO SEE THAT WE HAD AN
INCOMING GOVERNOR WHO -- WAS
LISTENING AND ABSORBING WELL
WHAT LEGISLATIVE POWERS HAVE
BEEN INCORPORATED THEM IN HIS
JANUARY BUDGET SO THAT WAS A A
GREAT -- A GREAT DEPARTURE I
THINK FROM WHAT -- GOVERNOR

WE WERE VERY PLEASED TO SEE IT.
I IN PARTICULAR THAT YOU KNOW

COUPLE.
MAJOR AREAS WE WE WANTED TO
FOCUS ON RESTORING MANY OF THE
BUDGET CUTS ESPECIALLY IN THE

YOUR CAME WITH NUMEROUS
RECOMMENDATIONS -- WE DECIDED TO
MAKE SURE THAT EARLY CHILDHOOD
EDUCATION INVESTING IN CHILDREN
EARLY ON WAS ALSO A MAJOR
PRIORITY.

TWELVE SCHOOLS THAT THIS IS --
THERE AT THAT WE DID NOT INVEST
ENOUGH IN.

WHICH YOU.
BROUGHT OUT A CONVERSATION BOTH
YOUR HUMOR AND THIS -- SHARP WIT
OR SOMETHING THAT I ENJOYED
WATCHING AND I DID WATCH EVERY
MOMENT OF SOMEONE IT'S SOMETHING
I'VE.
ALWAYS ENJOYED DOING.
I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT AN
ADVOCATE FOR A FEW OF THE ISSUES
THAT CAME BEFORE SUB ONE THAT
YOU APPROVED AND IF I MAY I
REALLY JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT.
HOW EXCITED I AM FOR THE
PROPOSALS THAT WE CAN ADVOCATE
FOR HERE TODAY? FOR MANY OF US
WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR HEALTH
FOR ALL AND THAT VALUE THAT
HEALTHCARE IS A HUMAN RIGHT AND
I'M EXCITED THAT THE ASSEMBLY
HAS TAKEN THE FIRST STEPS TO
PUSH.
TOWARDS THAT GOAL AND THERE ARE
EXPANDING HEALTH CARE COVERAGE
TO ALL YOUNG ADULTS.
I'M ALSO -- HAVE BROUGHT BEFORE
THE ISSUE REGARDING THE AGEDAND
DISABLED PROGRAM AND HOW THERE'S
A BARRIER TO ACCESS -- AND HOW
AND HOW THIS INVESTMENT WILL
HELP OUR AGED AND DISABLED TO
ACCESS CARE.
WANTED TO TALK ABOUT BRIEFLY IF
I COULDTHE NEED FOR BEHAVIORAL --
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH CURE NAVIGATORS MANY
TIMES PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW
WHERE TO GO.
AND THE TWENTY MILLION DOLLAR
ONE TIME INVESTMENT WILL ALLOW
HOSPITALS.
TO REALIZE THE BENEFITS OF
HIRING THESE PEER NAVIGATORS AND
THE FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO RE
HIRING ON AFTER THE GRANT.
IT'S A PROGRAM THAT'S SHOWING
TREMENDOUS PROGRESS -- AND
RESULTS HERE AT UC DAVIS AND
LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.
MAY OF THE INVESTMENTS THAT YOU
MENTIONED REGARDING FRIDAY NIGHT
LIVES MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID.
MEDICAL INTERPRETERS AND TRAUMA
SCREENINGS ARE LONG OVERDUE AND
HELP US TO INCREASE ACCESS.
REGARDING THE DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH WE HAVE HAD AN
EPIDEMIC REGARDING STDS OR S. T.
EYES -- HABSI AND THE THIRTY
MILLION DOLLAR GOING INVESTMENTS
WHICH WILL IMPLEMENTINNOVATIVE
PREVENTION STRATEGIES IS LONG
OVERDUE.
IN REGARDS TO THE MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES OVERSIGHT AND
ACCOUNTABILITY COMMISSION.
I WAS IMPROVE I'M IMPRESSED WITH
THE INVESTMENT IN THE EARLY
PSYCHOSIS GRANTS SOME OF THE
INFORMATION THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY
SEEING OUT OF NEW YORK SHOWS
THAT THESE INVESTMENTS MAY HELP
OUR STATE TO RECOGNIZE THOSE
SAME RESULTS.
THE ONGOING INVESTMENT IN THE
INNOVATION INCUBATOR
SPECIFICALLY WITHIN MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES OVERSIGHT MAY
ALLOW COUNTIES TO REALIZE AND
RECOGNIZE WHAT THE BEST
PRACTICES ARE.
IN ADDITION THE FIFTEEN MILLION
DOLLARS FOR INCENTIVE GRANTS TO
COUNTIES THAT ARE ON GOING WILL
ALSO ALLOW COUNTIES TO CONTINUE
TO INNOVATE AND FIGURE OUT WHT
OUR BEST PRACTICES.
IN THE DEPARTMENT OF AGING I WAS.
PLEASED TO SEE THE INVESTMENTS
IN THE M. S. S. P. PROGRAM WHICH
HELPS US TO SAVE MONEY AS A
STATE AND ARE LONG OVERDUE FOR A
RATE INCREASE.
AS WELL AS THE INVESTMENT IN THE
SENIOR NUTRITION PROGRAM.
MANY OF OUR SENIORS LACK AN
ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO GET A WARM
MEAL AND THE SENIOR NUTRITION
PROGRAM MAY BE THE ONLY WAY THEY
DO.
AND SO WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THAT.
WE HAVE ADVOCATED FOR THE LAST
THREE YEARS FOR RESTORATIONS OF
SOCIAL CAMPAñA RECKON THEM
PLEASE THAT ASSEMBLYMEMBER
FRAZIER WE WERE ABLE TO GET THAT
IN.
AND LOOK FORWARD TO HOW WE CAN
CONTINUE DISCUSSIONS TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE ID DE COMMUNITY IS
REPRESENTED AND IS HEARD HERE IN
OUR STATE CAPITOL.
I WANT TO MOVE ON TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES IF
I CAN AND TALK ABOUT A PROGRAM.
THAT I WAS PROUD WE GOT DONE
LAST YEAR IN WHICH I RECEIVED A
FRESH SHE FOR BUT IF I CAN I
WANTED TO SHARE THE FRESH SHE
WITH YOU IN A COLD ASK AS
BECAUSE OFTEN TIMES IT'S THE
WORK OF THE STAFF WHO.
PUTS IN ALL THE EFFORT THAT
MAKES THIS DONE.
CASH OUT EXTENDS.
FOOD STAMPS TO FOUR HUNDRED TO
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
CALIFORNIANS AND SO THE
PERMANENCE THAT THE GOVERNOR HAS
SEEN AND CREATING A PROGRAM THAT
MAKES SURE WERE.
PROVIDING BENEFITS TO ALL OF OUR
COMMUNITY IS IMPORTANT AND I WAS
REALLY EXCITED TO SEE HIM.
THE CALIFORNIA IMMIGRANT JUSTICE
FELLOWSHIP WHICH IS -- GRANT
PROGRAM THAT WE FUNDED IN THIS
YEAR'S BUDGET WILL ALSO HELP
THOSE TO DEFEND AGAINST --
IMMIGRATION PROCEEDINGS.
WE KNOW THE IMPORTANCE THAT
DEFENSE PLAYS AND MAKING SURE
THAT PEOPLE ARE HEARD IN A COURT
OF LAW.
AND WAS PLEASED THAT THIS
FELLOWSHIP MAY ALLOW PLACES LIKE
THE CENTRAL VALLEY. TO RECOGNIZE.
THE SAME BENEFITS TO COURT
REPRESENTATION THAT YOU COULD
GET IN LOS ANGELES OR SAN
FRANCISCO.
I TO WANT TO TALK ABOUT CAL
WORKS A PROGRAM THAT TOO OFTEN
AFFECTS WOMEN AND WOMEN OF COLOR.
AND THE EFFORTS THAT WE HAVE PUT
IN TO HELPING THE HOME VISITING
PROGRAM. TO MAKING THIS PROGRAM
APPLY NOT TO JUST FIRST TIME
MOTHERS OR MOTHERS -- UNDER THE
AGE OF TWENTY SIX BUT TO ALL
MOTHERS.
AS WELL AS THE WORK THAT YOU'VE
DONE ON CAL WORKS THIS YEAR IN
TERMS OF THE EARNED INCOME
DISREGARD AND IN TERMS OF THE
ASSET TEST.
THESE ARE STRONG WAYS THAT WE
CAN BENEFIT THE CAL WORKS
PROGRAM BENEFITS WOMEN AND WOMEN
OF COLOR IN ALL OF OUR
COMMUNITIES.
FINALLY I WANTED AND WITH TWO IF
I COULD.
AND ITS FIRST.
THE FAMILY URGENT RESPONSE
SYSTEM WHICH WOULD ALLOW OR
FASTER FAMILIES TO BE ABLE TO
CONTACT A SOCIAL WORKER INSTEAD
OF CONTACTING THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
WILL ALLOW US TO BE ABLE TO GET
THEM THE RESOURCES THAT THEY
NEED AND THE TIME THAT THEY NEED.
I BELIEVE THAT THE FAMILY OR TO
RESPONSE SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN
SIGNED INTO LAW LAST YEAR BUT
GOVERNOR BROWN.
AND I'M PLEASED THAT WE FOUND IT
WITHIN OUR BUDGET THIS YEAR TO
BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS
CONVERSATION AND LOOK FORWARD TO
THE GOVERNOR HOPEFULLY ADOPTING
THIS.
ON JUNE FIFTEENTH.
BUT I WANTED TO END WITH THE
YOUTH AND FAMILY CIVIC
ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVE WHICH IS
PUSHED BY THE LOTUS WORK DONE
THE MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR
FREEDOM CENTER.
THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUTH AND
FAMILY IS GETTING INVOLVED IN
ADVOCACY OF SOMETHING THAT'S NOT
LOST ON ME.
I GREW UP HAVING LEARNED THE
IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A VOICE AND
FIGHTING FOR THOSE WHO DON'T.
AND IT'S PROGRAMS LIKE THIS THAT
CONTINUE.
TO INVEST IN FUTURE ADVOCATES
THAT WILL ALLOW COMMUNITIES TO
FEEL.
LIKE THIS GOVERNMENT IS WORKING
FOR THEM.

TWELVE BUDGETS WE FOCUS THIS IS
AN ATTACK ON TOP OF THE
GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET

WANT TO THANK US THAT MY
SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS FOR THEIR
LEADERSHIP IN DEVELOPING PUBLIC
SAFETY BUDGET PRIORITIES THAT
REFLECT OUR VALUES.
OF INVESTING IN RESOURCES THAT
PROMOTE SAFER COMMUNITIES I WANT
TO THANK MISTER STONE WHO I

THEIR FIRST OF WHICH IS FOR
BEING THE GOOD CHAMPION OF
JUSTICE FOR ALL IN OUR COURT
SYSTEM.
AND MOST OF YOU KNOW WE HAVE WE
ALWAYS AVE DIFFICULTY GETTING
PEOPLE THERE BECAUSE OUR
MEETINGS WERE AT THE SAME TIME
THAT THERE WAS SO MANY OTHER
D SO
AND OUT BUT NONE THE LESS ALL
FIVE OF THEM WERE REALLY
COMMITTED.
TO BEING ON THE COMMITTEE
SOMEONE THING WAS TO STONE -- I
CAN ALWAYS COUNT TO BE THERE
MISTER JONES SAWYER FOR HIS DEEP
COMMITMENT TO OUR AT PROMISE

HIS HISTORY OF OF HAVING SERVED
IN PUBLIC SAFETY TO GIVE US SOME
BALANCE.
AND PERSPECTIVE THING WAS TO
LACKEY FOR PROVIDING HIS LAW

TIME.
BUT NONE THE LESS HER PASSION IS
STRONG ADVOCACY WAS ALWAYS THERE
ONE OF THANK ARE REPUBLICAN
CONSULTANT I DON'T HAVE HIS NAME
DOWN HERE BUT HE ALWAYS ANSWERED
THE FAMOUS QUESTION ARE THEY
COMING.
AND ANY ALWAYS TOLD ME THE SAME
THING I DON'T CONTROL THEM I
ONLY GET INFORMATION WHICH WAS

ASKING THAT QUESTION ANYMORE
MONDAY AFTERNOON FOR WHILE --
LESSON ONE THING MIGHT
CONSULTANT STAFF JENNIFER CAM
FOR HER TIRELESS WORK AND
COUNSEL AND INTEREST IN THIS
FIELD.
AND HER BIG ABILITY TO DIG
REALLY DEEP AND GET BEYOND THE
THAT THE SURFACE TO TALK ABOUT.
WHAT OUR GOALS WERE WHAT HOW
THIS WAS PARTICULARLY UP
IMPACTING THAT AND WITHIN THAT
WE WERE MAKING PROGRESS?
THE ASSEMBLY BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE
ON PUBLIC SAFETY HAS HAS MADE
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN TO
ENSURE IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY
OUTCOMES.
AND GREATER ACCOUNTABILITY OVER
PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES WE
SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME
TALKING ABOUT THE VARIOUS
PROGRAMS THAT WE PUT IN PLACE
OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.
AND WHETHER NOT THEY ACHIEVING
THE GOALS THAT WE SET AND BEING
VERY HONEST ABOUT WITHIN THAT WE
WERE ACTUALLY REDUCING
RECIDIVISM OR WHETHER PEOPLE
JUST COMPLYING WITH PROGRAMS
WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THE
OUTCOME.
SO WE HAVE VERY GOOD
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT IN VERY
GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO
USE A DOLLARS IN THE FUTURE.
BASICALLY TO ACCOMPLISH THAT --
AMONG OUR MANY ACTIONS WE
APPROVE THE TRANSITION OF THE
DIVISION OF JUVENILE JUSTICE
FROM CDC ARE TO HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES AGENCY.
AB AND THAT IN ITSELF WAS A A A
QUITE A CHALLENGE BECAUSE WE OF
THOUGHT AS A COMMITTEE THAT WE
REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME
TO MAKE SUCH A MAJOR MOVE.
AND SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE
CREATED ADVISORY BODY TO ADDRESS
YOU'VE DELINQUENCY THROUGH A
TRAUMA INFORMED REHABILITATION
FOCUS LANDS.
WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE
TRANSITION BUT WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT IT'S DONE RIGHT.
AND THAT WOULD JUST NOT MOVING
FROM ONE BUILDING TO THE NEXT
AND CARING THE SAME PROGRAMS
FORWARD AND IN THE UP WITH THE
SAME RESULTS.
WE'VE ALSO MADE A CRITICAL
INVESTMENT TO ADDRESS THE HIGH
RATE OF DEATH OCCURRING FROM
DRUG OVERDOSES IN OUR PRISONS --
BUT WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO IT IN
A MANNER THAT WE BELIEVE THAT
WILL DELIVER THE BEST RESULTS.
ADDRESSING THE FLOW OF DRUGS
INTO THE PRISON SCALING THE
TREATMENT IN A WAY WHERE CDC ARE
CAN SUCCESSFULLY REDUCE
OVERDOSES AND ENSURING THAT
COUNTY PARTNERS ABLE TO PROVIDE
TRANSITION SUPPORT ONCE A PERSON
IS RELEASED. TO ENHANCE ACCESS
TO JUSTICE IN OUR COURTS WHICH
IS BEEN AN ONGOING CHALLENGE BY
THIS COMMITTEE AND WE'RE PROUD
OF THE FACT THAT OVER THE LAST
YEAR AND THIS YEAR AS WELL.
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ADD
ADDITIONAL WE THIS IS -- TO OUR
JET BUT TO OUR JUDGESHIPS IN
TERMS OF OF OVERSIGHT AS WELL AS
PARTICULARLY DEALING WITH COURT
REPORTERS AND A NUMBER OF OTHER
SUPPORT SERVICES FOR JUDGES --
WE'VE OF THIS YEAR WE ENHANCE
THE BY RECREATING TWENTY FIVE
NEW JUDGESHIPS TO BE DISTRIBUTED
IN AREAS WHERE THE GREATEST NEED
AND WE PROVIDED ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES FOR DEPENDENCY COUNCIL.
SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT
BECAUSE THAT'S BEEN AN ISSUE
THAT'S BEEN RAISED EVERY YET
EVEN THOUGH IN PROVIDING THE
TWENTY FIVE WE STILL A SHORT IN
TERMS OF THE JUDGES NEEDED AND
STATE TO ENSURE.
THAT THERE IS ADEQUATE ACCESS
AND THEREFORE ADEQUATE JUSTICE.
UNPRECEDENTED DISASTERS HAVE
REQUIRED SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT
IN DISASTER RELIEF IN RESPONSE.
WE PROVIDED AN ADDITIONAL THREE
HUNDRED MILLION INVESTMENTS
INCLUDING PRE PUT THE PRE
POSITIONING OF FIRED EQUIPMENT
WE ALSO SUPPORTED UPDATING THE
NINE ONE ONE SYSTEM AND THE
COMPLETION OF THE EARLY
EARTHQUAKE WARNING SYSTEM.
OTHER IMPORTANT THIS INSTANT I
WERE MADE INCLUDING MORE FUNDING
FOR THE USE OF FORCE TRAINING
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ON GOING
GRANTS TO PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
FOR VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
REINSTATING AUDITING AND
INVESTED KATORI FUNCTIONS OF THE
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL AND
PILOT I'M PILOTING PRE TRIAL
SERVICES IN IN TEN COUNTIES.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO
WORKED SO HARD IN THIS ALL OF
THOSE WHO CAME TO THE HEARINGS
IN MAY TESTIMONY BEFORE US AND
THE ADVOCATES WHO OBVIOUSLY MET
WITH ME MANY TIMES TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE UNDERSTOOD.
JUST HOW IMPORTANT THEIR
PROGRAMS THAT WERE AND HOW
IMPORTANT FUNDING WAS THAT WE
WERE PROVIDING THEM -- IF FOR
MORE INFORMATION OBVIOUSLY LOOK
AT THE REPORT THAT A LONG LIST
OF THINGS THAT WE FUND IT I KNOW
YOU DON'T WANT ME TO READ THOSE
GUYS WILL GLOSS OVER -- BUT I'M
JUST WANT TO THANK OUR THOSE
STAFF AND EVERYONE WHO WORK WITH
US TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN VERY
POSITIVE OUTCOME THIS YEAR THANK
YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU DOCTOR MR OBERNOLTE.
I THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR -- I
WOULD LIKE TO ECHO THE COMMENTS
OF THE CHAIR.
IN THANKING EVERYONE THAT'S BEEN
INVOLVED IN THE BUDGET PROCESS
THIS YEAR I REMAIN CONVINCED
THAT CRAFTING THE BUDGET IS THE
SINGLE MOST INFLUENTIAL THING
THAT THIS LEGISLATURE DOES EVERY
YEAR.
DISTRIBUTING THAT OVER TWO
HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS OF
TAXPAYER REVENUE HAS PROFOUND
CONSEQUENCES FOR THE PEOPLE THAT
WE SERVE.
AND THAT'S WHY I THINK THAT THIS
COMMITTEE IS SO IMPORTANT IN THE
ASSEMBLY -- SO THANK YOU ALL FOR
YOUR HARD WORK ON THE BUDGET --
I THINK THAT FOR THE PEOPLE
OUTSIDE THE BUDGET PROCESS THEY
DON'T REALIZE HOW MUCH WORK IT
IS TO SERVE ON A BUDGET
SUBCOMMITTEE BUT IF YOU TAKE A
JOB SERIOUSLY AND I'M CONVINCED
EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM DOES -- IT
IS A LOT OF WORK AND I WANT TO
THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR HER
WALK EFFORTS AND THE STAFF
THAT'S BEEN INVOLVED IN
SUPPORTING THEM.
I ALSO ACTUALLY THINK THAT THIS
IS THERE'S A LOT TO LIKE IN THE
ASSEMBLY BUDGET THIS YEAR.
I I DON'T THINK IT'S AN
EXAGGERATION TO SAY IT IS A MUCH
MORE FISCALLY PRUDENT BUDGET
THAN THE ONE THAT'S EITHER
COMING OUT OF THE SENATE OR THE
ONE THAT WAS PROPOSED BY THE
GOVERNOR AND I THINK THOSE ARE --
REALLY GREAT THINGS -- HOWEVER I
HAVE A COUPLE OF CONCERNS.
AND ONE OF THE MOMENT TALK ABOUT
SOMETHING ELSE THAT I LIKE --
THE THE GOVERNOR ISLA REALLY
WANT TO COMMEND THE ASSEMBLY FOR
PUSHING BACK ON THE
ADMINISTRATION IN CHARACTERIZING
SOME OF THE EXPENDITURES AS ONE
TIME.
I THINK THE GOVERNOR TOLD US ALL
THAT 11% OF THE SPENDING
INCREASE WAS ONE TIME AND 89%
I'M SORRY WHAT ONLY 11% WAS --
ONGOING 89% WAS ONE TIME.
AND I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS AN
UNFAIR CHARACTERIZATION BECAUSE
WHEN YOU PUT A SUNSET ON
SOMETHING LIKE ON AYE HSS
PROVIDER.
RATE INCREASE OR A TEST SALES
TAX EXEMPTION FOR DIAPERS AND
TAMPONS WE KNOW THAT THOSE
THINGS ARE GOING TO BE ROLLED
BACK IN FUTURE YEARS SO. TO SAY
THAT THAT'S ONE TIME EXPENDITURE
IS -- IS I THINK NOT REALLY
CHARACTERIZING IT RIGHT AND TO
THE FOR THE MOST PART THIS BODY
WHEN WE CRAFT OUR BUDGET HAS
RESISTED THE TEMPTATION TO DO
THAT.
AND I REALLY THINK THAT THAT'S A
GREAT THING.
ALSO I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT WE
ARE TAKING THE THREAT OF
RECESSION AND ITS CONSEQUENT
IMPACT ON STATE REVENUE
SERIOUSLY IN THIS BUDGET WE
CONTINUE TO MAKE PRUDENT
VESTMENTS AND OUR STATE RESERVES --
IF DEPENDING ON HOW THE DUST
SETTLES I THINK WE'RE GONNA WIND
UP AT THE END OF THIS FISCAL
YEAR WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN
TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS IN
RESERVE.
WHICH WILL BE THE LARGEST
RESERVE IN CALIFORNIA STATE
HISTORY.
THOSE ARE GREAT THINGS HOWEVER I
ALSOTHINK WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL
THAT THE LA -- TELLS US THAT
WE'RE GONNA HAVE IN A MODEST
RECESSION ABOUT SEVENTY BILLION
DOLLARS OF OVERALL REVENUE LOSS.
AND EVEN WHEN YOU BALANCE OUT
THINGS LIKE THE DECLINING IN THE
PROP NINETY EIGHT GUARANTEES
THAT STILL GOING TO HAVE AN OVER
FORTY BILLION DOLLAR IMPACT ON
OUR BUDGET SO. TO PUT THAT IN
CONTEXT WE ARE ABOUT IF IF OUR
GOAL IS TO HAVE ENOUGH REVENUE
TO WHETHER A MODEST RECESSION
WITHOUT CUTTING PROGRAMS WE'RE
ABOUT HALFWAY THERE.
SO -- IT'S GREAT THAT WE'RE ON
THIS PATH AND I WANT TO CONTINUE
TO TO DO THAT.
I ALSO WANT TO TALK AGAIN AS I
HAVE IN THE PAST ABOUT THE WAY
THAT THOSE RESERVES ARE
STRUCTURED.
THE THE JUST A FEW SHORT YEARS
AGO WE ONLY HAD A SINGLE STATE
RESERVE FUND THE SPECIAL FUND
FOR ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES.
AND THERE IS A PROVISION IN
STATE LAW THE SAYS THAT WHEN THE
BALANCE IN THE SFE YOU GETS
ABOVE 3% OF GENERAL FUND
REVENUES.
STATE SALES TAXES OPPOSED TO GO
DOWN ONE QUARTER OF A PERCENTAGE
POINT.
AND THAT'S SUPPOSED TO GIVE THE
TAXPAYERS OF CALIFORNIA A BREAK
ON SALES TAX IN YEARS WHEN.
THE STATE HAS A LOT OF REVENUE
AND I WE'VE CREATED LOTS OF
DIFFERENT RESERVES NOW THE
RESERVES ARE SOCIAL SAFETY NETS
RESERVE CREATED BY THE VOTERS.
BUT THE CONSEQUENCE OF THAT HAS
BEEN THAT THE PEOPLE CALIFORNIA
HAVE NOT SEEN THAT SALES TAX
RIGHT RATE CUT AND I REALLY
STRONGLY THINK THAT THEY SHOULD --
I JUST WANNA TAKE ONE MINUTE TO
TALK ABOUT EDUCATION FUNDING
BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
I'VE BEEN VERY FRUSTRATED ABOUT.
THIS BUDGET FUNDS A MODEST
INCREASE IN THE PER CAPITA K.
TWELVE EDUCATION SPENDING IT'LL
BE ABOUT.
TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER
STUDENT A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN
THAT WHEN -- THIS BUDGET PASSES.
TO PUT IN CONTEXT THAT'S FORTY
FIRST IN THE NATION EVEN WITH
THAT INCREASE.
AND THE CONSEQUENCE OF HAVING.
K. TWELVE EDUCATION FUNDED AT
THAT LOW LEVEL ARE MANIFOLD WE
ARE FORTY SIX THE AND READING
TEST SCORES WERE FORTY SEVENTH
AND MATH WE HAVE THE LOWEST.
STUDENT TO TEACHER RATIO THE
ENTIRE COUNTRY.
AND THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I
KNOW THIS IS NOT A PARTISAN
ISSUE I KNOW EVERYONE AGREES
THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE -- WE HAVE
A BILL IN THE LEGISLATURE THAT --
MISTER CARTY AND I AM MISTER
MERCHANTS YEAR OLD JOIN AUTHOR
OF ITS A. B. THIRTY NINE THAT
STATES THE INTENT OF THE
LEGISLATURE TO RAISE THAT.
PER STUDENT SPENDING RATIO UP TO
AT LEAST.
THE MIDDLE OF THE AVERAGE FOR
STATES.
BUT THAT IS NEVER GOING TO GET
DONE AND LESS WE HAVE THE
POLITICAL WILL TO DO IT AND
EVERY TIME THAT WE FIND ANOTHER
PROGRAM.
AND IT'S VERY SEDUCTIVE WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT EARLY CHILDHOOD
EDUCATION WE TALK BOUT SCHOOL
BREAKFAST WE TALK ABOUT AFTER
SCHOOL PROGRAMS BUT EVERY TIME
WE FIND ONE OF THOSE PROGRAMS
THAT WE TAKE AWAY DOLLARS THAT
WE COULD HAVE SPENT.
TOWARDS MEETING THE PRIMARY
COMMITMENT THAT WE HAVE TO
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS SO THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT I REMAIN VERY
FRUSTRATED ABOUT AND I'M HOPEFUL
IN FUTURE YEARS THAT WE CAN TAKE
STEPS TOWARDS.
REMAINING THAT SITUATION SO --
THIS BILL THIS BUDGET OBVIOUSLY
HAS SOME GOOD PARTS AND SO BAD
PARTS -- I WILL BE OF STANDING
ON THE VOTE IN THE HOPES THAT WE
CAN WORK OUT SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT I HAVE OBJECTIONS TO IN THE
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE PROCESS BUT
MISTER CHAIRMAN THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON THE
BUDGET AND FOR ALL OF THE
BUDGETS SUBCOMMITTEE STAFF THAT
WE SERVE WITH.
THANK YOU MISTER FOSTER I THINK
IT'S A REMINDER THAT THE OVERALL
WITHIN THE BUDGET THERE'S A MOST
OF IT WE AGREE ON AND THE LARGE
MAJORITY THAT WE AGREE ON
OBVIOUSLY THERE'S STILL.
SOME DIFFERENCES AS YOU AS
HIGHLIGHTED -- TO IRON OUT THAT
BUT AGAIN WE BELIEVE THAT.
OF THE THREE BY JUST THIS IS THE
MOST FISCALLY PRUDENT BUDGET --
AND IT'S ALSO THE BUDGET THAT
AGAIN HAS PRIORITIZE EDUCATION
THE MOST.
AT THE SAME TIME IS REALLY
PREPARING US FOR THE FUTURE.
WITHOUT I KNOW DOCTOR WOULD HAVE
TO QUESTION AND THEN MISTER
COOPER.
OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER
CHAIR AND I AND MY QUESTION WAS
AND I ACTUALLY YOU WERE ABLE TO
POINT OUT TO ME AND THAT WAS
REGARDING THE IN CO TAX
EXTENSION -- I KNOW I'VE SPOKEN
ABOUT THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND I'M
GLAD TO SEE THAT IT'S ON PAGE
SIX OF OF OF OF THE OVER HERE.
I BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT TO ONCE
AGAIN -- POINT OUT THAT -- BY
NOT PURSUING THE EXTENSION WE AS
THE ELLIE ALWAYS PUT IT -- IT
HAS THE EFFECT OF LEAVING MONEY
ON THE TABLE I FEDERAL MONEY ON
THE TABLE AND WHEN YOU CONSIDER
THE NUMBER PROGRAMS -- ALTHOUGH
OUR BUDGET -- IS IS DOING.
MORE INVESTMENT IN IN TRYING TO
BRING PROGRAMS BACK -- TO PRE
RECESSION LEVELS -- BY LEAVING
FEDERAL MONEY ON THE TABLE --
IT'S IT'S IT LIMITS THAT ABILITY
TO DO THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF
PROGRAMS AND WE SIT THROUGH
HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS OF
TESTIMONY FROM REALLY GREAT
ABOUT REALLY GREAT PROGRAMS.
THAT SERVE OUR SENIOR POPULATION
THAT SERVE THE ID D. S. CAN BE
IN THE COMMUNITY AND SO MANY
OTHERS.
THAT HAVE BEEN OPERATING ON ON
RECESSION ERA CUTS -- AT A TIME
WHEN WE ARE LOOKING TO EXPAND
COVERAGE TO MANY PEOPLE WHICH I
WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT.
WE SEEM TO BE LEAVING THE OTHERS
BEHIND AND I AND I AM I'M
CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
AND I HOPE THAT -- WE CAN
AGGRESSIVELY PURSUE THE MCO TAX
RESTORATION I THINK -- WE WE
DEBATED THIS A MOST THE PEOPLE
ON THIS DíAS WERE HERE WHEN WE
ACTUALLY HAD THESE DISCUSSIONS A
FEW YEARS AGO THIS IS A RENEWAL
OF SOMETHING.
THAT WE DEBATED IN THIS IN THIS
HOUSE AND IN THE SENATE.
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT WE WE
TRY TO RESTORE THAT -- FOR THE
INTEGRITY OF THE SYSTEM -- AND
TO HAVE AND AND TO FIND WAYS TO
IT TO FIND ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS
AS WE GO FORWARD THANK YOU.
THANK YOUNG THE FILE ALLEY -- OR
ON FINANCE ONE COMMENT AT ALL.
MISTER COOPER.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR OF COUPLE
QUESTIONS ON G. G. R. F..
WHAT PROGRAMS BE FUNDED AND AT
WHAT LEVEL SPECIFICALLY THE AG
THIS REPLACEMENT PROGRAM IN THE
DAIRY METHANE PROGRAM?
I'LL REPEAT IT IS SPECIFICALLY
THAT DIESEL REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
IN THE DAIRY METHANE PROGRAM.
I AM TERESA COVER WITH
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE IN THE
ASSEMBLY PLAN FOR A G. G. R. F. --
THERE IS ZERO DOLLARS.
FOR EXCUSE ME ZERO DOLLARS FOR
MESSING REDUCTION THERE IS --
COULD YOU REPEAT THAT THE OTHER
PROGRAM YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE
JURY NOTHING PROGRAM.
AND THE ACT IS A REPLACEMENT AG
DIESEL OR PLACEMENT -- I DIESEL
REPLACEMENT IT'S UNCLEAR THERE'S
FORTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN
THE ASSEMBLY PLAN FOR CLIMATE
SMART AGRICULTURE WHICH IS WHERE
THE AGRICULTURAL DIESEL ENGINE
REPLACEMENT UPGRADE PROGRAM
RESIDES BUT IT'S NOT CLEAR HOW
MUCH IS ALLOCATED FOR THAT
SPECIFIC PROGRAM AT THIS TIME.
THE SENATE APPROVED FUNDING FOR
THIRTY FIVE MILLION IN DURING
THAT SAME REDUCTIONS BUT A
SPECIFIED THE FUNDS CAN ONLY BE
USED FOR ALTERNATIVE MANURE
MANAGEMENT.
WHAT IS THE SIMPLEST PLAN?
I WE ARE REFLECTING ZERO DOLLARS
FOR THE METHANE REDUCTION IN THE
ASSEMBLY PLANT.
OKAY -- THE FUNDS AMOUNTS FOR
JERRY METHANE REDUCTION SHOULD
BE SHOULD NOT BE SPECIFIED
CURRENTLY ALL FUNDS ARE
ALLOCATED BY CDFA FOR BOTH
ALTERNATIVE MANEUVER MANAGEMENT
AND JERRY DIED JESTERS.
IS IMPORTANT FOR BOTH SETS OF
PROJECTS TO BE FUNDED TO BE
CLIMATE CHANGE GOALS.
IS ALSO IMPORTANT FOR CDFA TO
MAKE THE DECISION ON THE PREP
PROJECTS THAT SHOULD BE FUNDED.
I CANNOT MEET OUR CLIMATE CHANGE
GOALS TO JUST ALTERNATE MANURE
MANAGEMENT.
WE BOTH JERRY DIED JESTERS AN
ALTERNATE MANEUVER MANAGEMENT
PROJECTS TO MEET THESE GOALS.
SO THE FUNDING THE PLANTS NOT
SPECIFY BUT INSTEAD ALLOCATE THE
FUNDS TO SEE THE FAA THE BEST
PROJECTS CAN BE SIX A CHOSEN.
TRULY WHAT ACTIVITIES REDUCTION
GOALS READ ALLOCATE A HUNDRED
THIRTY TWO HER THREE FIVE
MILLION FRAG THESE REPLACEMENT
IN NINE NINE BILLION FOR DAIRY
METHANE REDUCTIONS.
THANK YOU.
EXCUSE MISTER CORPORATE
CHRISTIAN GRIFFITH ASSEMBLY
BUDGET JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT
THE WAY THE ASSEMBLY PLANT WORK
WE DIDN'T HAVE.
SPECIFIC SET ASIDE WITH THE
SENATE AND THE MYSTERY SHOULD WE
HAD MORE KIND OF BROADER
CATEGORIES WITH FORTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS FOR SMART
AGRICULTURE -- WE DIDN'T SPECIFY
HOW THAT WOULD BE USED THE OTHER
THING IS THAT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT
HAD A LARGER AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR
LOW CARBON TRANSPORTATION WHICH
HAD.
WHICH ENVISIONED MONEY -- FOR
THE H. P. PROGRAM WHICH IS FOR
HEAVY AND DAD MEDIAN VEHICLES
AND SOME OF THOSE VEHICLES ARE
AG SO INSTEAD OF HAVING
NECESSARILY AT A SPECIFIC
PROGRAM FOR AG IT'S MORE OF A
GENERAL PROGRAM WHICH COVERS AND
PARADE OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF
VEHICLES FROM PORT VEHICLES.
TO TRUCKS AND TRYING TO MAKE IT
MORE GENERAL SUPPOSED TO
SPECIFIC TO AN INDUSTRY SO THAT
WAS SORT OF PART OF THE GENERAL
APPROACH TO GO TO CONFERENCE
UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WERE GONNA
HAVE TO HAVE MORE CONVERSATION
SO THAT YOUR YOUR POINTS ARE
WELL TAKEN.
THANK YOU [inaudible]
MS JONES.
INSIDE THE NO WERE.
WOULD PROBABLY MOVING TOWARD THE
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE I OBVIOUSLY
I WANT TO CONGRATULATE A DEVICE
CHEERFUL TEAM HOPE FOR
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE CHAD MAYES --
KEVIN MCCARTY.
A JAIL WINNER OF THE INDUCTOR
SHIRLEY WEBER. FIVE MY FAVORITE
ASSEMBLY MEMBERS.
AT LEAST THIS WEEK.
AS WE MOVE TOWARD CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE -- THERE'S ALWAYS THIS.
THIS DICHOTOMY BETWEEN THE
SENATE BUDGET IN OURS AND ONE OF
MY ONE TO POINT OUT IS IS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY THAT WE ADOPT THE
SENATE PACKAGE.
ON ACCESS TO JUSTICE IN THE
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE AND MOVING
TOWARD THAT AND REALLY IS ABOUT
RESTORING THE STATE ALLOCATION.
LIMITS -- IS ABOUT NINETY
MILLION DOLLARS THAT THE COURTS
WILL BENEFIT FROM -- IF YOU KNOW
THAT THAT THE SOUTH FUNCTIONS AS
A COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT.
NOW AGAINST COURTS WHICH IS
MANAGEMENT AND UNIONS -- A
PREDICTABLE FUNDING SOURCE TO
COLLECTED BILLION BARGAIN IT
REVISED FISCAL STABILITY AND
ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES AS A LOT
OF MEMBERS HAVE -- EXPELS TO
RIGHT NOW AND IT GIVES THE
COURTS EACH DEBILITATED JUST
THERE -- THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR
THE NORMAL COST OF DOING
BUSINESS INCREASES -- WANTED
THINGS I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT
FOR EXAMPLE THE COURT REPORTERS.
I'VE ONLY HAD ONE INCREASE IN
SALARIES OUT AND ALMOST A
CENTURY WITH THE LAST ONE BEING
IN -- NINETEEN NINETY EVEN WITH
THIS -- ONLY PROVIDE ABOUT A
TWENTY SEVEN CENT.
INCREASE IN THEIR SALARIES AND
SO FOR REALLY.
SERIOUS ABOUT RESTORATIVE
JUSTICE IN AND OUR COURTS
INADEQUATELY FUNDING THEM THIS
IS ONE WAY TO DO THIS AND SO I'M
I'M RECOMMENDING THAT WE
SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT ADOPTING
THE SENATE ACTION -- I WILL I
LABOR IN THE JUDICIAL BRANCH
LEADERSHIP TO MAKES.
A SERIOUS PUSH AS WE MOVE TOWARD
GETTING THE ADMINISTRATION. TO
LOOK SERIOUSLY AT OUR BUDGET AND
COMING CLOSER TO TO WHAT WHAT
WE'RE DOING -- ARE SELLING AT
THANK -- BECAUSE I'VE HAD
CONVERSATIONS.
I'M NOT ONLY WITH WITH DOCTOR
WEBER BRIEF CONVERSATION I ONE
ONE THANK CHAIR MISTER CHANG FOR
FOR MEETING WITH ME LAST NIGHT
ALL DAY LONG AND IN.
DOING BILLS AND AND MEET WITH ME
IN THE EVENING TO GO OVER THIS
SUBJECT -- I WANT TO THANK THEM
FOR THAT AND THEN THE SPEAKER
FOR PUTTING ME TOGETHER WITH HIS
BUDGET.
PUBLIC SAFETY ON INDIVIDUALS TO
SERIOUSLY LOOK AT THIS PACKAGE
OF NINETY MILLION DOLLARS AND SO
THAT WE CAN COME TOGETHER AND
WORK TOGETHER WITH THE SENATE --
TO MOVE THIS BOARD -- SO
HOPEFULLY YOU MAY HAVE SOME
IDEAS OF HOW WE CAN GET.
GET THEIR SPECIAL AGO --
DEPARTMENT FINANCES LOOK AT ME
KIND OF FUNNY RIGHT NOW BUT
SOULFUL WE CAN.
WE CAN DO WE CAN MAKE READ IT
WOULD THEY ALL LOOK AT ME FUNNY
SO IT DOESN'T MATTER -- BUT
HOPEFULLY WE CAN TAKE THIS
SERIOUSLY AND AND EIGHT AND FROM
THE EARLY DISCUSSIONS I'VE HAD --
EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE EACH YEAR
TO FIND A WAY THAT WE CAN MOVE
THIS.
FOR THAT WOULD GET YOU GOT THAT
BLANK LOOK SO OKAY.
NOT NOTHING IN COMMON WE'RE
GONNA GO TO MISTER FRAZIER.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR -- ONE OF
THINGS I WELL ONE COMMON ON
APPRECIATE THE ASSEMBLY PLANT
IGNORE JING THE MCO TAXES DOCTOR
WOULD IS.
HAS SAID IT THE ESSENTIAL
COMPONENT I KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN
MENTIONED IN HEARINGS THE
COMPLEXITY.
BUT THE DEVASTATION IT'LL KERR
IF IT IS REMOVED -- THAT'S
LEAVING ONE POINT EIGHT BILLION
DOLLARS ON THE TABLE AND IT
NEEDS TO BE A THOUGHTFUL PROCESS
GOING FORWARD -- ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT I WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE ALSO IN IS.
KIND OF THE OIL FROM THE ROOM
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE IDEA DE
COMMUNITY IS.
IS THE THE RATE PLAN THAT CAME
OUT IN THE END OF MARCH.
STE STATING THAT IT'S ABOUT ONE
POINT EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS
SHORT IN FUNDING -- THE ID
POPULATION IN CALIFORNIA WITH
THE SINCE IS CONTINUING TO RISE
DRAMATICALLY WITH OUR OUR
POPULATION BY DD FOLKS -- I DO
APPRECIATE OUR CHAIRS OF SUB ONE
AND OR OR ARE BUDGET SHARE GREG
KNOWLEDGE IN.
AND STANDING UP FOR THE
POPULATION.
GOING FORWARD.
HOME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS.
ESSENTIALLY.
IS BASICALLY WHAT KIND OF
BLUEPRINT IT WILL BE BUILT. TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE DESPERATE NEED
FOR FUNDING.
THROUGH THE RATE PLAN WHICH IS.
THREE YEAR STUDY.
WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY.
FOR THE NOW SAYS YES.
WHICH WE ALREADY KNEW YOU DO
HAVE A DESPERATE NEED TO FUND.
THIS UNDERSERVED POPULATION.
WHAT WILL WE EXPECT TO SEE
COMING FORWARD?
IN THE UPCOMING YEAR BECAUSE I
DON'T WANT TO COME IN NEXT YEAR
AND SAY.
WELL LET'S START RIGHT NOW.
WE KNOW IT'S HERE WHAT IS THE
PLAN TO BACK FILL THIS ONE POINT
EIGHT BILLION DOLLAR KNEE.
TURN OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE -- TO
GOING TO SOME DETAILS OF THE
FIRST IS THAT THE GOVERNOR'S NAY
REVISION -- IN RESPONSE TO THE
RATE STUDY INCLUDES A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS GENERAL FUND IN
THE BUDGET YEAR AND AND TWO
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN THE
YEAR AFTER THAT SO WE'RE SEEING
THIS.
AS A PHASED IN PROCESS YOU KNOW
WE FIGURE WITH A SYSTEM THIS
COMPLICATED AND SERVING THIS
MANY PEOPLE WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE DO THINGS IN THE RIGHT
WAY.
AND SPECIFICALLY THIS INCREASE
IN THE BUDGET YEAR IS FOCUSED ON
A NUMBER OF CORE PRIORITIES
MAKING SURE THAT WE STABILIZE
THE RESIDENTIAL POPULATION.
MAKING SURE THAT WE ENSURE
SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE
PARTICIPATING IN THE SYSTEM AND
MAKING SURE WE ADDRESS
DISPARITIES IN RATES BETWEEN
VENDORS AND CENTERS ACROSS THE
SYSTEM -- AND AND AS MENTIONED
IN THE MULTI YEAR FORECAST THAT
RATE RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR
REFORMS IN THE SYSTEM AS IN MANY
OF OTHER OTHER HEALTHCARE
SYSTEMS.
WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT
THERE'S SOME STRUCTURAL PRESSURE
ON THE GENERAL FUND IN OUR MAY
REVISION COMPARED TO WHAT WE SAW
IN JANUARY -- AND THAT'S THE
REASON THAT THESE RATE INCREASES
OUR SON SIDE.
IN THE NAY REVISION -- PURSUANT
TO THOSE PRESSURES BUT THE
BROADEST POINT I WANT TO MAKE IS
WE SEE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
HAS TO BE ADDRESSED OVER SEVERAL
YEARS WE'RE COMMITTED TO THOSE
REFORM EFFORTS AND WE WANT TO
CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION WITH
YOU ON HOW TO DO THAT.
SO I APPRECIATE THAT BUT NOT
RECOGNIZING AND AGAIN THE
SUNSETS I CAN SEE.
THE INTENT BUT THE POPULATION
CONTINUES TO GROW AND ABOUT 10%.
A YEAR.
AND SO WE HAVE THREE HUNDRED AND
THIRTY THOUSAND INDIVIDUALS IN
THE SYSTEM NOW.
EACH YEAR THIRTY THREE THOUSAND
MORE [inaudible]
OKAY SO.
NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT WHAT
WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE NOW WE'RE
FUNDING LESS EVERY YEAR IF WE
DON'T EVEN STAY TO THE THE 10%
MORE POPULATION.
INCREASES.
A ONE OF THE THINGS ALSO.
WE'RE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING IS A THE
THE SERVICE COORDINATOR OF
POPULATION IS ABSOLUTELY.
CRIMINAL HOW A HUNDRED I DE.
INDIVIDUALS ARE SERVICE BY ONE
SERVICE COORDINATOR IN SOME
REGIONAL CENTERS.
THE OTHER IS THE LACK OF
PROVIDERS FOR THE POPULATION THE
WAITING LIST THAT THESE
INDIVIDUALS HAVE TO WAIT
SOMETIMES ONE TO TWO YEARS TO
EVEN GET A DIRECT SERVICE
PROVIDER.
IF AT ALL.
SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE AN EFFORT.
TO CREATE A CAREER PATH.
NUMBER ONE OR SOME KIND OF
CERTIFICATE LEVEL.
IT WAS MAKE MORE THAN.
LIVING ARE MORE THAN MINIMUM
WAGE.
AND INCENTIVIZE BECAUSE THERE'S
NO REASON FOR PROVIDERS EVEN
THINK THAT THEY WANT TO HELP
THIS POPULATION IT'S OUR SUNSETS.
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO
INCENTIVIZE PROVIDERS TO COME IN
THERE IS A HUGE DESPERATE NEED
FOR PROVIDERS WE HAVE ENOUGH
PROFESSIONALS FOR ASSESSMENT.
WE DO REAL WELL AT THAT.
BUT WE DO NOT GET THE PEOPLE ON
THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND THERE
ACTUALLY PROVIDING THE SERVICE.
FOR THE WELL BEING OF THIS
POPULATION I REALLY WOULD STRESS
SO WE WORK TOGETHER. TO LOOK FOR
AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT.
THAT GOES FORWARD THAT'S BEEN
IGNORED FOR A LONG TIME.
AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO
SERVICE.
THESE PEOPLE THE OF THE CARE
THAT THEY DESERVE.
THANK YOU [inaudible]
THIS MESSAGE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH I WANTED --
TO AGREEING WITH THE BUDGET VICE
CHAIR [inaudible]
THAT -- THERE ARE.
A LOT OF GREAT -- TO STARTING
WITH THE POSITIVES OF THE BILL A
MAN IT IT'S IT'S FISCALLY
RESPONSIBLE IT'S IS DEVOTING ITS
IT'S HEARING THE CONCERNS RAISED
BY A SCHOOL DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT
THE STATE -- IN TERMS OF THE TWO
BIG BIGGEST COST PRESSURES
FACING SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
ARE PENSION COSTS IN A SPECIAL
EDUCATION COSTS.
ARM.
I WANT TO THANK THE THE GOVERNOR
FOR PROPOSING.
THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS -- AND
THE ONE TIME PAYMENTS.
TO HELP SCHOOL DISTRICTS -- MEET
THEIR CASTERS -- LIABILITIES --
BUT I I THINK THAT THAT
HIGHLIGHTS.
YOU KNOW THAT WE NEED.
TO WE NEED TO HAVE --
ACKNOWLEDGE THE THE ELEPHANT IN
THE ROOM -- THAT THAT THE
PENSION COSTS AND AND THE YOU
KNOW HOW THOSE BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS.
YOU KNOW -- ARE.
DOLLARS THAT -- THAT MAY NOT
ADDRESS MANY OF THE ISSUES THAT
WE'RE SEEING BEING RAISED IN THE
TEACHER STRIKES FROM LOS ANGELES
TO OAKLAND TO SACRAMENTO -- AND
AND AND AND SO YOU KNOW I I
THINK WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO
HAVE IT I KNOW IT'S AN AWKWARD
CONVERSATION FOR FOR MANY OF US --
IN IN IN THE LEGISLATURE BED BUT
WE NEED TO TO ADDRESS -- THIS
ISSUE -- I WANT TO THANK THE
ASSEMBLY BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE
NUMBER. TWO FOUR FOUR INCLUDING
THE K. THROUGH TWELVE FUNDING
TARGET -- GOALS.
IN THE ASSEMBLY VERSION OF THE
BUDGET HI I HOPE THAT -- THAT IS
WHO IS SURVIVED THE CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE BECAUSE YOU KNOW AGAIN --
AND ECHOING GO.
THE THE THE BUDGET VICE CHAIR IS
COMMENTS -- WHERE FORTY FIRST IN
THE NATION AND AND THIS IS THIS
IS -- IN A FOR US THE WORLD'S
FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY WE NEED TO
DO BETTER -- AND AND AND FUNDING
OUR NUMBER ONE BUDGET PRIORITY --
K. THROUGH TWELVE EDUCATION -- A
PROGRAM THAT AFFECTS ALL
COMMUNITIES -- ALL CHILDREN ALL
FAMILIES THROUGHOUT STATE A
CALIFORNIA.
ARM.
I ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT.
AN ONGOING CONCERN OF MINE WHICH
IS -- OUR SUPPORT FOR THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.
A WHILE -- WE ARE INCREASING OUR
SUPPORT FOR THE UNIVERSITY
CALIFORNIA IT DOESN'T GET AS
CLOSE.
TO WHERE WE WERE IN -- WHERE?
CALIFORNIA USED TO BE ABOUT 70%.
WE WOULD SUPPORT ABOUT 70% OF
THE STATE BUDGET OF A OF THE
UNIVERSE A CALIFORNIA A CORE
FUND -- BUDGET WE'RE NOW DOWN TO
ABOUT 40%.
THAT IS THE REASON WHY TUITION
IS INCREASING THAT IS THE REASON
WHY.
THE UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA'S
HAVING TO ADMIT MORE NON
RESIDENT STUDENTS -- TAKING AWAY
ADMISSION SLOTS FOR CALIFORNIA
RESIDENTS.
AND SO -- ME TO ALL OF THESE.
AGAIN AT YOU KNOW EVERY EVERY
EXPENDITURE THAT THE WORKER --
ALLOCATING FOR NEW PROGRAMS --
IS IS OUR DOLLARS BEING TAKEN
AWAY FROM WHAT I BELIEVE SHOULD
BE OUR NUMBER -- ONE PRIVATE
BUDGET PRIORITY -- FOR K.
THROUGH TWELVE AS WELL AS FOR
HIGHER EDUCATION.
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND OR THE
LA -- IN TERMS OF THE THE
PROPOSED THE EXPANSION OF
MEDICARE AL. FOR FOR YOUNG
ADULTS REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION
STATUS WHAT IT'S THE THE COST
ESTIMATE FOR THIS EXPANSION.
SO ALL TURNED OVER TO A
COLLEAGUE TO GIVE YOU THE EXACT
ESTIMATE FOR THAT BUDGET YEAR
ONE POINT THAT I WANT TO SIZE IS
FOR LOGISTICAL REASONS FOR THE
BUDGET YEAR.
THE EXPANSION BEGINS ON JANUARY
FIRST SO THE COST ESTIMATE FOR
THE BUDGET YEAR IS FOR A SIX
MONTH PERIOD AND THEN THERE WILL
BE AN ANNUALIZED COST.
AFTER THAT
.
DO YOU HAVE ANY.
RYAN MILLER DEPARTMENT FINANCE
SO -- UNDER THE MAY REVISION --
AS MY COLLEAGUE WAS SAYING -- WE
HAVE INCLUDED NINETY EIGHT
MILLION DOLLARS TOTAL FUNDS --
AND SEVENTY FOUR POINT THREE
MILLION DOLLARS GENERAL FUND --
THAT'S A PARTIAL YEAR -- COST --
AS ENROLLMENT -- WOULD INCREASE
AND AND AS YOU WOULD REFLECT THE
FULL YEAR COST -- I BELIEVE IT --
WILL INCREASE -- TO AROUND TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS TOTAL FUNDS.
ROUGHLY AND AND WE CAN CERTAINLY
FOLLOW UP WITH MORE DETAIL ON
THAT FOR YOU.
AND SO I AM SURE IS A FORCE A
SIX MONTH PERIOD OR YEAR PERIOD.
THAT'S FOR A SIX MONTH PERIOD WE
WE ASSUME -- IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE PROPOSAL NO SOONER THAN
JANUARY FIRST.
TWENTY TWENTY OUR IS SO. TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION FOR A SIX
MONTH PERIOD OH SORRY SORRY THAT
THAT'S THAT'S IN -- A COUPLE
YEARS ONCE WE HAVE FULLY
IMPLEMENTED THE PROPOSAL AND AND
AND SO IN THE BUDGET YEAR WE
INCLUDE NINETY EIGHT MILLION.
TOTAL FUNDS SEVENTY FOUR POINT
THREE MILLION GENERAL FUND IN
THE MAYOR VISION.
I THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU MISTER PURCHASED
SEVERAL WOMAN RIVAS YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU I'D LIKE TO START BY
ACKNOWLEDGING THE WORK -- BUYER
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THEIR LONG
HOURS TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE
WE'RE ALWAYS PREPARED AND OF
COURSE OUR OUR CHAIR VICE CHAIR
AND SUB CHAIRS FOR PUTTING
TOGETHER.
A BUDGET THAT I THINK REALLY
REFLECTS OUR STATE'S VALUES --
YOU KNOW AS WE TALK ABOUT
HOMELESSNESS I'D LIKE TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE SIGNIFICANT WORK
DONE BY -- BUDGET SUB FOR
COMMITTEE ON HOMELESSNESS THIS
YEAR.
INCLUDING THE HUNDRED THE SIX
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION OF LOCAL
HOMELESSNESS FUNDING THAT WILL
GO TO OUR CITIES -- WELL THEIR
NUMBER OF AGENCIES AND TASK
FORCES THAT ARE DOING GREAT WORK
I THINK WE SHOULD ALSO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE ROLE OF THE
HOMELESS -- COORDINATING AND
FINANCING COUNCIL WHICH IS OUR
STATE ENTITY -- THAT WAS CREATED
BY THE THE LEGISLATURE -- IT AND
TASKED WITH PREVENTING AN ENDING
HOMELESSNESS YOU KNOW THIS THIS
COUNCIL OVERSEES IMPLEMENTATION
OF HOUSING FIRST GUIDELINES IT
IDENTIFIES RESOURCES BENEFITS
AND SERVICES -- THAT CAN BE
ACCESS TO PREVENT AND END
HOMELESSNESS IN CALIFORNIA.
CREATES PARTNERSHIPS -- I THINK
WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT HOW WE
CAN INCREASE RESOURCES TO THIS
COUNCIL -- BECAUSE THEY ARE
UNDERSTAFFED -- IN EITHER OF
THIS IS OUR STATE ENTITY.
THAT MANAGES AND AND IS TASKED
WITH -- YOU'LL FIND THE BEST
PRACTICES IN OUR STATE -- TO END
HOMELESSNESS -- SO YOU KNOW THIS
IS A CRISIS BUT I REALLY
APPRECIATE ON THE GOVERNOR'S
WORK ON THIS ISSUE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISS RUBIO.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE
CHAIR THE SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRS
AND ALL OF THE COMMITTEE STAFF
FOR THEIR HARD WORK.
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS I'M
PREPARING 220-001-9220 ASSEMBLY
BUDGET.
I'M VERY THANKFUL. TO SEE THE
ASSEMBLY BUDGET PRIORITIZE MANY
CRITICAL ISSUES SUCH AS ACCESS
TO EDUCATION AND HEALTH CARE
RAISING FAMILIES OUT OF THE
POVERTY WORKING TO FOR FURTHER
EXPAND RESOURCES FOR HOMELESS
POPULATION.
WHILE MAINTAINING FISCAL
RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTINUED TO
BUILD RESERVES.
I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO THINK.
THE CHAIRS OF SUBCOMMITTEE ONE
AND TWO FOR PART PRIORITIZING
FUNDING FOR THE CALIFORNIA
SENIOR LEGISLATURE BREAKFAST
AFTER THE BELL AND DREAMER
RESOURCE CENTERS.
BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE ONE I WOULD
LIKE TO ALSO THINK -- THE CHAIR
ASSEMBLY MEMBER ARAMBULA AN
ACTING CHAIR ASSEMBLYMEMBER
REYES FOR THEIR TIRELESS WORK --
IT IS REALLY A TOUGH PROCESS AND
I CANNOT -- BE MORE PROUD THAN
TO SERVE WITH BOTH OF THEM THEY
ARE DILIGENT AND REALLY CARE
ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT CAME
BEFORE THE COMMITTEE -- AND SOME
OF THOSE ISSUES I THAT I'M
THANKFUL FOR IS -- TO ADOPTING
FUNDING TO EXPAND MEDICAL FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF THEIR
IMMIGRATION STATUS INCREASE
WHICH RATES FOR SENIOR PROGRAMS
AND EXPENSE SAFETY NET SUPPORT
FOR THE INTELLECTUAL OR
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY
COMMUNITY.
WELL WE HAVE MADE MANY STRIDES
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION I AM
STILL HOPEFUL OVER THE FUTURE
NEGOTIATIONS WE CAN CONTINUE TO
FOR THE RESTORE.
RECESSIONARY CUTS AND IN
PARTICULAR WORK TO INCREASE
RATES FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS FOR
THE INTELLECTUAL AND
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY
COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU AGAIN MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE I LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING TO FINALIZE
THE BUDGET PROPOSAL NO PRESSURE
VOID WHERE DEPENDING ON YOU
MISTER TING. TO MAKE OUR PER IS
A PRIORITY FOR THE WHOLE STATE
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU KNOW NO PRESSURE AT
ALL.
MR MATHIS.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR -- LIKE
EVERYONE ELSE I WANT TO THANK.
THE SOMEONE COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY
COLLEAGUES THERE ARE STAFF THERE --
LOT OF HARD WORK A LOT OF HOURS
PUT IN -- WORKING TO GET -- OUR
IT DE COMMUNITY TAKEN CARE OF I
KNOW NOT EVERYTHING THAT WE
WANTED.
GOT THERE I HOPE -- MISTER CHAIR
AS WE GET INTO CONFERENCE WE CAN
LOOK AT PUTTING A LITTLE MORE
TEETH AND GET IN A LITTLE MORE
FUN IN THERE -- BUT I DO HAVE --
A COUPLE OF CONCERNS THAT I'M
OPEN -- THE DEPARTMENT MIGHT BE
ABLE TO ANSWER -- YOU KNOW WE'VE
DONE A LOT TO INCREASE HEALTH
CARE AND HEALTH CARE ACCESS.
AND AS WE GO FORWARD AND DO THIS
MY LARGEST CONCERN IS I I REALLY
HONESTLY DON'T THINK WE PUT
ENOUGH AND ON THE PROVIDER SIDE.
SO ON ONE HAND WE ARE INCREASING
THE FLOCKS THAT'S GOING TO GO
INTO OUR MEDIC HEALTH SYSTEM.
IN VASTLY INCREASING THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO GO
ON TO THE SYSTEM.
BUT WE'RE NOT DOING ANOTHER OFF.
NEARLY ENOUGH TO INCREASE
PROVIDERS. FOR THAT SYSTEM.
A I KNOW WE'VE HELPED A LITTLE
BIT WITH HOW MUCH THEY'RE
THEY'RE GONNA GET BACK IN AND
HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK.
BUT AS FAR AS GETTING MORE
PROVIDERS.
OUT THERE.
A AND I'M TALKING MORE DOCTORS
MORE NURSES IN IN DOING THESE
THINGS WE HAVEN'T.
ON ANYTHING VERY SUBSTANTIVE.
AND I HAVE A FAST CONCERNED THAT
WE'RE GOING TO FLOOD THE MARKET
AND WE ALREADY HAVE ISSUES WHERE.
WHEN FAMILIES GO TO SEE THEIR
PRIMARY CARE?
THEY'RE ALREADY WAITING WEEKS.
AND NOW I HAVE CONCERNS IT'S
GONNA BE MONTHS.
SO SO I HAVE A QUESTION ON THAT --
THEY IN THAT I HAVE -- OTHER
QUESTIONS REGARDING AND IN
HOMELESS SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO
ANSWER THAT ONE AND THEN WE CAN
GO TO THE NEXT.
SO I'LL SPEAK BRIEFLY AND THEN
TURNED OVER TO ADAM DORSEY MY
COLLEAGUE SO THE FIRST POINT I
WANT TO MAKE IS WE RECOGNIZE THE
ADMINISTRATION THAT THERE ARE
MORE DEMANDS ON OUR HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM -- UNDER THE AFFORDABLE
CARE ACT -- WE ADDED MORE THAN
THREE MILLION PEOPLE TO MEDI CAL
PROGRAMS AND OVER A MILLION
PEOPLE TO COVER CALIFORNIA SO WE
RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE MORE
PEOPLE TAKING PART THE INSURANCE.
MARKET -- I DO BELIEVE THAT IN
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET AND NAY
REVISION THERE ARE SOME
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN
ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE EVEN IF WE
KNOW THAT WE ALL HAVE MORE TO DO
IN THE YEARS. TO COME -- THE
FIRST IS UNDER PROPOSITION FIFTY
SIX MAKING SURE THAT WE DEVOTE
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
TO INCREASING PROVIDER RATE
SYSTEMATIC CAL TO MAKING SURE
THAT.
MORE PROVIDERS ARE SERVING MEDI
CAL PATIENTS WE WERE DOING A
LITTLE BIT THERE BUT AS AS
YOU'VE HEARD FROM TWO OF MY
COLLEAGUES ALREADY DOCTOR WITH
THE MISTER FRAZIER.
YOU'RE LEAVING A LOT OF THAT MCO
FUNDING.
STILL ON THE TABLE.
THAT WE COULD BE ACCESSING THE
INCREASE PROVIDERS [inaudible]
IN.
THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE THAT'S
GOING TO INCREASE THE NEED TO
GET MORE DOCTORS.
SO I MEAN IT'S GREAT THAT YOU
GUYS RECOGNIZE IT BUT I MEAN ARE
WE GONNA DO SOMETHING TO
INCREASE THE ABILITY.
FOR GRADUATION RATES FOR DOCTORS
AND NURSES YES SO -- THE SECOND
THE THE SEVEN POINT ONE NINETEEN
IS THAT ALSO UNDER PROPOSITION
FIFTY SIX WE'RE DEVOTING
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
FOR LOAN REPAYMENTS FOR THOSE
DOCTORS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON
THOSE DOCTORS THAT WILL SERVE
MEDI CAL ELIGIBLE PATIENTS SO.
WE HAD A LOT OF MONEY THERE IN
JANUARY WE PUT AN EVEN MORE
MONEY IN THE NAY REVISIONS SO
THAT IS A PRIORITY FOR HOW THE
ADMINISTRATION IS PROPOSING TO
SPEND PROPOSITION.
FIFTY SIX MONEY -- AND THEN ONE
OTHER POINT AND I KNOW ADAM MAY
WANT TO WEIGH IN AS WELL IS
SPECIFICALLY ON MENTAL HEALTH
BECAUSE WE KNOW THERE THERE'S A
SPECIAL WORK FORCE NEED -- THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET HAD FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS AND THEN IN THE
NAY REVISION WE'RE PROPOSING AN
EXTRA HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
UNDER THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
ACTIVE FUNDING. TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE ATTRACT MORE PROVIDERS
TO THE MENTAL HEALTH FIELD SO
THAT IS A SPECIFIC AREA OF FOCUS
WE KNOW IT'S NOT A PROBLEM THAT
WE CAN SOLVE IN ONE YEAR BUT WE
DO BELIEVE THAT THIS BUDGET
REFLECTS AN EMPHASIS ON THAT
PRIORITY.
WELL LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
WITH YOU GUYS ON THAT AS WE MOVE
FORWARD -- MY OTHER QUESTION. TO
YOU IS IN REGARD TO THE
HOMELESSNESS THERE'S A LOT OF
MONEY FOR HOMELESSNESS HOUSING.
AND MONEY GOING BACK INTO THE
COMMUNITIES BUT THERE'S NOT A
LOT OF MONEY REALLY ADDRESSING
THE TRUE PROBLEM WITH
HOMELESSNESS AND THAT'S DOING
THE TRANSITIONAL PROGRAMS. TO
HELP OUR HOMELESS POPULATION
TRANSITION BACK INTO LIVING IN
HOMES.
AND TRANSITION BACK INTO BEING
UP TO GET JOBS AND DO THAT.
SO I REALLY INTERESTED -- INTO
WHAT THE GOVERNOR'S PLAN IS IN
REGARDS TO TRANSITIONING ARE
HOMELESS POPULATION BACK INTO
SOCIETY.
IT'S A TOPIC THAT WE TALKED
ABOUT WITHIN SOMEONE -- BUT
DIDN'T GET ANY TRUE CLEAR
ANSWERS ON WHAT TYPES OF
PROGRAMS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING TO
FIND OR HOW MUCH MONEY WE'RE
GOING TO PUT INTO TRANSITIONING --
IN THAT'S REALLY GOING TO BE THE
PROBLEM BECAUSE WE CAN WE CAN
TAKE SOMEBODY WAS HOMELESS AND
PUT ON A HOME PLATE ALL THE
STUDIES SHOW THAT THE END UP
LIVING IN TENTS.
AND IT ESSENTIALLY DESTROYING
THE APARTMENTS THEY GET PUT INTO
BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST NOT READY
FOR IT YET.
AND SO WE REALLY NEED TO ENSURE
THAT THERE'S FUNDING GOING TO
HELP THEM TRANSITION OVER.
I FOR GOING TO TRULY HELP THAT
POPULATION.
I THINK THAT'S IT PERSPECTIVE
THE ADMINISTRATION REALLY DOES
APPRECIATE AND I JUST WANT TO
MENTION TWO POINTS IN THE
GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISION BUT I
THINK ADDRESSES SOME OF THOSE
POINTS.
THE FIRST IS THAT ARE
HOMELESSNESS POPULATION -- I'M
SORRY HOMELESSNESS PROPOSAL A
LOT OF THE TENSION CAME TO THE
OVERALL INCREASE TO SIX HUNDRED
FIFTY KNOWING WHICH I KNOW
MEMBERS OF THE ASSEMBLY OF ALSO.
EMBRACE THAT FIGURE BUT WE ALSO
MADE SOME CHANGES IN TERMS OF
THE PROGRAM DESIGN ITSELF AND I
WANT TO HIGHLIGHT TO IN
PARTICULAR.
FIRST IS THAT WE EXPANDED THE
FLEXIBILITY OF THE FUNDING THAT
WE ARE GIVING -- TO LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS -- BEFORE THERE
WAS A REAL FOCUS ON SHELTERS AND
NAVIGATION CENTERS AND WE
CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT THAT IS
VERY IMPORTANT.
BUT TO YOUR POINT WE ALSO
RECOGNIZE THAT MAKING SURE THAT
PEOPLE CAN MAKE THAT TRANSITION
IS DIFFERENT FOR EACH PERSON IT
MIGHT BE DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT
PARTS OF THE STATE.
SO WE'RE ACTUALLY ALTHOUGH THE
GOVERNOR DOES WANT TO PROVIDE
STATEWIDE LEADERSHIP ON THIS
ISSUE THROUGH HIS RECENTLY
ANNOUNCED TASK FORCE FOR THE
COORDINATING AND FINANCING
COUNCIL WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT LOCAL DECISION MAKERS
HAVE THAT.
FLEXIBILITY AND THEN THE SECOND
THING WE DID IN OUR BUDGET AND
WE RECOGNIZE THIS MIGHT BE AN
ISSUE FOR CONFERENCE.
IS THAT WE ALSO GAVE FUNDING NOT
ONLY TO CITIES AND CONVENIENCE
OF CARE BUT TO COUNTIES AS WELL
BECAUSE A LOT OF THE SERVICES
THAT ARE PROVIDED ON THE LOCAL
LEVEL THAT ARE ESSENTIAL FOR
THAT TRANSITION.
ARE PROVIDED THROUGH COUNTIES
THE SECOND POINT THAT I WANT TO
MAKE IS ON HOLD PERSON CARE
PILOTS AND THESE ARE REALLY
PROGRAMS THAT AFFECT
HOMELESSNESS MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES ACCESS TO SERVICES AND
JOB TRAINING AND EVERYTHING
TOGETHER.
WE HAD A ONE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS IN THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
AND WE ADDED ANOTHER TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS IN THIS NAY
REVISION BECAUSE WE THINK YOU
REALLY DO NEED TO ADDRESS THE
WHOLE PERSON TO GET AT THESE
ISSUES THAT YOU'RE SPEAKING
ABOUT.
OKAY AND WITH THAT I KNOW SOME
OF THAT IS GOING A AS YOU SAID --
BREAKING IT DOWN IS SPLIT INTO
WITH THE COUNTIES -- I DO HAVE
CONCERN ON HOW THAT SPLITS
TAKING PLACE BECAUSE IT'S PUT IN
OUR ROLE COUNTIES IN JEOPARDY IN
MAKING THEM COMPETE FOR SOME OF
THOSE FUNDS -- AND I HELD DURING
THE MAY REVISION PROCESS YOU ALL
CAN LOOK AT HOW TO SPLIT THAT --
IN A FAIR WAY AMONGST THEM THAT
WAY THEY DON'T WANT TO COMPETE
FOR THOSE FUNDS -- THE BIG
THIRTEEN AS THEY'RE CALLED DON'T
HAVE TO COMPETE IT THEY GET IT
UP FRONT WHICH HELPS THEM AND
PUT THEM STEPS AHEAD.
BUT OUR ROLE COUNTY IS -- ONLY
GET A PIECE OF THE PIE AND THEN
THEY GOT A FIGHT OVER THE REST.
AND THAT DOESN'T REALLY HELP
THEM OUT IT REALLY HARD FOR THEM
ON THE PLANNING SIDE.
SO WE CAN ADDRESS SOME OF THAT
MISTER CHAIR -- AS WE GET TO
CONFERENCE.
PLAY DO APPRECIATE THE THE
GOVERNOR LOOKING AT THE
TRANSITIONAL PIECE -- IT AND
I'VE GOT ONE MORE DAY SHIFT
GEARS ON YOU GUYS -- THE SWITCH
BACK OVER THE AG SIDE -- THAT
MISTER COOPER -- TOUCHED ON I
HAVE GREAT CONCERNS WITH THE
ZERO DOLLARS ADVOCATE YOU DID --
ON THE DERRY METHANE SIDE -- I
REPRESENT THE DAIRY CAPITAL OF
THE WORLD.
AND I'VE SEEN THESE PROJECTS
WORK VERY VERY WELL AND MOVE
FORWARD TO HELPING US REACH.
OUR CLIMATE CHANGE GOALS.
BUT IT'S BEEN A VERY SUCCESSFUL
PROGRAM.
AND AND GETTING IT ISN'T GOING
TO HELP US GET THERE.
AND AS WE ALL HEAR ON THE NEWS
OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
NOT TO JOKE WITH THIS IDEA THAT
CALIFORNIA'S ARE CAUSING GLOBAL
WARMING -- THAT'S NOT
NECESSARILY THE WAY IT WORKS IN
WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO
CAPTURE THAT METHANE.
IN USE IT IS NATURAL NATURAL GAS --
WHICH IS ACTUALLY MORE
BENEFICIAL OVER ALL AS RENEWABLE
FUELS SO I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT IT
JUST DID AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN
THE MAY REVISE.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU -- WILL BE GOING TO
ARMS RACE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR WE'VE
HEARD SOME OF THE GOOD IN SOME
OF THE BAD WILL TELL YOU ONE OF
THE BEST THINGS.

BUT I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THE HARD HARD WORK OF NICOLE
