SLOW MEMORY MCCARTHY RELATIVE TO
LOVING DAY, MR MCCARTHY. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS
HAPPY LOVING DAY. ACTUALLY, IT
WAS YESTERDAY, 55 YEARS AGO AND
AMAZING AND LANDMARK SUPREME
COURT DECISION MADE A LOT OF
LAND THAT YOU COULD HAVE
INTERRACIAL MARRIAGES.
INTERNATION IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE
YESTERDAY WE CELEBRATED PRIDE
DAY HERE IN SACRAMENTO. WOULDN'T
HAVE PRIDE DAY YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
MARRIAGE EQUALITY WITHOUT LOVING
DAY. SO AS WE KNOW, 55 YEARS
AGO, TWO INDIVIDUALS IN VIRGINIA
WHO WERE IN LOVE WANTED TO GET
MARRIED. MILDRED AND RICHARD
LOVING. THE STATE OF VIRGINIA
SAID THEY COULD NOT THEY, OF
COURSE, WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT WHO
AFFIRMED THAT THEY COULDN'T FACT
BE A LOVING AND MARRIED COUPLE.
AND, OF COURSE, THEIR LAST NAME
IS LOVING. SO THIS DAY LIVES
FORWARD, AND MANY PEOPLE ON THIS
FLOOR ARE FROM INTERRACIAL
MARRIAGES ARE INTERRACIAL KIDS.
I'M ONE OF THEM. I WAS BORN IN
WASHINGTON, D. C. WE LIVED IN
VIRGINIA. MY DAD. AS MOST OF YOU
KNOW, AFRICAN AMERICAN, MY MOM
CAUCASIAN FIVE YEARS EARLIER
WHERE WE LIVED, IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN UNLAWFUL FOR THEM TO GET
MARRIED. AND, OF COURSE, LATER
HAVE CHILDREN. YOUNGER BROTHER
AND I SO THIS LEGACY LIVES ON
TODAY. THERE'S A CALIFORNIA
TWIST TO THIS AS WELL. THERE'S A
LANDMARK CASE IN CALIFORNIA,
ANDREA PEREZ AND SYLVESTER DAVIS
. SYLVESTER IS AFRICAN AMERICAN
AND ANDREA, MEXICAN AMERICAN.
THEIR CASE WENT TO THE
CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT, AND
THIS IS JOINED, OF COURSE WITH
THE LOVING DECISION SO LOVING 55
YEARS LATER HAS A MISSION TO
FIGHT RACIAL PREJUDICE, PROMOTE
TOLERANCE AND FOSTER AS
SUPPORTIVE. MULTICULTURAL
SOCIETY SO ALL ACROSS OUR
COUNTRY 55 YEARS LATER, WE'RE
CELEBRATING LOVING DAY AND ASKED
CALIFORNIA I DO SO ONCE AGAIN
ONCE AGAIN THIS MORNING. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, MR MCCARTY.

ADAM 29. SENATE BILL 1 54. CLERK
CARILLO. SENATE BILL 1 54 BY
SENATOR SKINNER WON ACCOLADES
THE STATE BUDGET TO TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY. BUDGET BILL MR
TING, YOU MAY OPEN THANK YOU
MEMBERS. I'M HONORED. TV
PRESENTING SB 1 54. WHICH IS OUR
BUDGET BILL. IT'S A ANNUAL BILL
THAT WE PRESENT CODIFIED THE
STATE'S EXPENDITURES AND THE
REVENUES FOR UH, FOR OUR STATE.
UM THIS AGAIN IS A HISTORIC
BUDGET. JUMPING OFF FROM LAST
YEAR'S BUDGET. A YEAR AFTER WE
WERE WONDERING WHAT WAS GOING TO
HAPPEN AS WE WENT INTO COVID AND
AS WE HAD TO SHUT OUR ECONOMY
DOWN AH, THIS YEAR'S BUDGET
TOTALS OVER $300 BILLION. OUR
GENERAL FUND IS OVER. $240
BILLION ARE EXPENDITURES ARE AT
$236 BILLION. WE ALL HAVE THE
LARGEST RESERVES IN STATE
HISTORY AT $37.8. BILLION,
SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN WE HAD
LAST YEAR, AND THIS IS RECORD
EDUCATION FUNDING. RECORD
EDUCATION FUNDING $110 BILLION
FOR POP 98, A 16% INCREASE FOR
THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING
FORMULA, WHICH IS A 16% INCREASE
FOR EVERY SINGLE DISTRICT. IN
THIS STATE. THAT MONEY IS WHAT
GOES TO PAY TEACHERS TO PAY
PARIS TO GO DIRECTLY INTO THE
CLASSROOM OF EACH AND EVERY
SINGLE CLASSROOM WHETHER YOU'RE
IN URBAN COMMUNITY RURAL
COMMUNITY. AH, IN THIS ENTIRE
STATE. UM 90% OF THIS MONEY IS
ONE TIME. OR TEMPORARY BECAUSE
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE. WE
WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE, SO
WE'RE MAKING SIGNIFICANT
INVESTMENTS THAT ARE ONE TIME
AND TEMPORARY. $10 BILLION IN
DIRECT RELIEF TO SMALL
BUSINESSES AND TO FAMILIES. WE
KNOW THAT MANY FAMILIES ARE
STILL SUFFERING. MANY BUSINESSES
ARE STILL SUFFERING OR PARTS OF
THE ECONOMY ARE DOING
EXTRAORDINARILY WELL. MANY
FAMILIES ARE STILL HAVING
TROUBLE MAKING ENDS MEET. THAT
WAS THAT WAS TRUE IN 2019 BEFORE
COVID IS TRUE NOW. AND I KNOW
IT'S BEEN EXACERBATED BY THE
LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. SO WE KNOW
THAT WE HEAR THAT FROM PEOPLE.
WE HEAR THAT FROM FAMILIES WE
KNOW COSTS ARE GOING UP, AND WE
SAY THIS RELIEF IS IMMEDIATE.
THIS WILL THIS RELIEF IS COMING
AS FAST AS WE CAN GET IT THERE,
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE SPENDING
$10 BILLION IN BELIEF TO
DIRECTLY TO FAMILIES AND SMALL
BUSINESSES. $40 BILLION IN
INFRASTRUCTURE. I AM BORN AND
RAISED CALIFORNIA. MANY OF THE
THINGS THAT I'VE BENEFITED FROM
WHETHER IT WAS OUR ROADS. OUR
AQUEDUCT, OUR HIGHER EDUCATION
SYSTEM, OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM. WERE
INVESTMENT MADE BY PREVIOUS
GENERATIONS. LIFELONG I'M A
LIFELONG I WAS LIFELONG,
EDUCATED BY PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAME
THROUGH 12 HIGHER EDUCATION.
THOSE INVESTMENTS WERE MADE IN
THIS ROOM. THOSE WERE BUDGETS
THAT WORD APPROVED IN THIS ROOM.
PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE. SO THIS
IS $40 BILLION OF INFRASTRUCTURE
$40 BILLION OF INFRASTRUCTURE
MONEY FOR TRANSPORTATION AND
TRANSIT MONEY FOR SCHOOLS. WE
DON'T NEED TO DO A SCHOOL BOND
NOW BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE
GOING TO SPEND THAT MONEY NOW.
WE'VE GOT TO SAVE ALL THAT MONEY
ON INTEREST. FLOATING THAT DEBT.
GOOD FOR OUR SCHOOLS. IT'S GOOD
FOR THE ECONOMY. THOSE ARE ALL
JOBS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN AND ALL
OF OUR COMMUNITIES UP AND DOWN
THE STATE. MONEY FOR STUDENT
HOUSING AT THE HIGHER EDUCATION
LEVEL. WE KNOW WE'VE BEEN
PUSHING FOR MORE STUDENTS TO C CSU
COMMUNITY COLLEGE IS ONE OF THE
BIGGEST READER HURDLES AFTER
GETTING IN. THAT THEY CAN'T
OVERCOME THE LACK OF HOUSING. WE
SEE SO MANY HOMELESS STUDENTS
WHO ARE GOING TO OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES ARE YOU SEASON RC SUS
MORE MONEY FOR HOUSING AND
HOMELESSNESS IS A HUGE
INVESTMENT FOR HOUSING AND
HOMELESSNESS, PROBABLY OUR
BIGGEST ISSUE UP AND DOWN THE
STATE MAJOR INVESTMENTS IN HOME
OWNERSHIP. AFFORDABLE HOUSING
SHOVEL. READY PROJECTS MONEY FOR
OUR A, D. U S. AND SO THIS IS A
HUGE INVESTMENT FOR HOUSING.
$250 MILLION BECAUSE WE KNOW AT
SOME POINT WE HAVE ANOTHER
EARTHQUAKE $250 MILLION FOR
MULTIFAMILY SEISMIC MATCHING
GRANTS IN $100 MILLION FOR DAM
SAFETY PROJECTS. WE SAW HOW
SCARY IT WAS WHEN ORVILLE WAS
LOOKING LIKE IT HAS SOME DAMAGE.
WE KNOW THAT WE DON'T WANT TO
SEE THAT WITH ANY OF OUR OTHER
DAMS. IT'S $100 MILLION FOR
DAMS. UM WE KEEP WE KEEP HAVING
THE DISCUSSION. PEOPLE CAN'T GO
TO WORK IF THEY DON'T HAVE CHILD
CARE. WHEN MY KIDS WERE YOUNG I
WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HAVE COME TO
WORK IF I DIDN'T HAVE CHILD
CARE, SO WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT
AS THE ECONOMY COMES BACK, WE'RE
DOING A $1.8 BILLION RATE
INCREASE FOR OUR CHILD CARE
WORKERS. MANY WHO WORK AT
MINIMUM WAGE LEVELS TO TAKE CARE
OF OUR CHILDREN. WHEN THE MOST
IMPORTANT JOBS AND THIS ENTIRE
STATE MANY WHO HAVEN'T GOT THE
KIND OF INCREASE THAT THEY NEED
FOR SOMEBODY SO MANY YEARS
HEALTH CARE. WE JUST WENT
THROUGH A PANDEMIC. THE LAST
THING WE NEED IS FOR PEOPLE NOT
TO HAVE HEALTHCARE. SO THIS THIS
BUDGET THANKS TO MANY CHAMPIONS,
ESPECIALLY ARE MY COLLEAGUE WHO
LEADS OUR SUB ONE COMMITTEE
CHAMPIONING MEDICARE FOR EVERY
SINGLE CALIFORNIA CAL FOR EVERY
SINGLE CALIFORNIA. TO MAKE SURE
THAT EVERY SINGLE CALIFORNIA
REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION
STATUS, HAS ACCESS TO MEDICAL.
IT'S GOING TO GET US MUCH CLOSER
TO UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE GOAL
THAT MANY OF US ON THIS FLOOR
SHARE. AND OF COURSE YOU CAN'T.
YOU CAN'T HAVE HEALTHCARE IF YOU
JUST HAVE INSURANCE. YOU
ACTUALLY NEED TO BE ABLE TO USE
THAT INSURANCE TO GO SEE SOME
MORE. YOU NEED TO GO SEE A
DOCTOR. A NURSE. UH YOU NEED TO
BE ABLE TO SEE A HEALTHCARE
PROFESSIONAL AND WE KNOW THAT
THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS OUR
HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE HAS BEEN
DECIMATED THEIR BURNT OUT. THESE
ARE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN INVESTMENTS IN OUR
HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE. THOSE
INVESTMENTS WON'T REPRE WARDS
TOMORROW, BUT LIKE I TALKED
ABOUT EARLIER WITH OUR $40
BILLION IN INFRASTRUCTURE, THIS
IS ABOUT NOT JUST THIS
GENERATION OF CALIFORNIA'S. BUT
THE NEXT GENERATION OF
CALIFORNIA'S TO COME. SO IF YOU
LOOK AT THIS BUDGET IT'S VERY
EXTRAORDINARY COMING FROM THE
BUDGET THAT WE HAD TWO YEARS AGO
WHEN WE HAD A RECESSION. WE HAD
CUTS. WE WEREN'T EVEN ABLE TO
MEET BECAUSE OF COVID. THIS YEAR
WE CONDUCTED OVER 68 HEARINGS
THIS YEAR TO HEAR EVERY SINGLE
ITEM IN THE BUDGET. I WANT TO
THANK EACH OF OUR SUB CHAIRS. I
TALKED ABOUT OUR SUB CHAIR. OUR
CHAIR FROM SUB CHAIR ONE FROM
FRESNO. MY COLLEAGUE FROM
SACRAMENTO, WHO CHAIRS ARE
SUBCOMMITTEE TO MY COLLEAGUE
FROM SANTA MONICA, WHO'S DONE AN
AMAZING JOB. 10 10 YEARS AS SUB
CHAIR FROM SANTA MONICA, SUB
THREE UM WE HAVE MY COLLEAGUE.
MY TWO COLLEAGUES FROM L. A
CHEERING SUBS FOUR AND FIVE.
REALLY HOLDING DOWN THE FORT IS
REALLY THEIR INCREDIBLE
LEADERSHIP HOLDING ALL THOSE
HEARINGS PROVIDING LEGISLATIVE
OVERSIGHT SO THAT WE CAN DO THE
PEOPLE'S WORK AND LET ME JUST
THANK IN PARTICULAR. UM ARE MY
BUDGET COMMITTEE STAFF OUR STAFF
UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF
CHRISTIAN GRIFFITH AS WELL AS
JASON SYDNEY? WHO'S THE
SPEAKERS? BUDGET STAFF ALSO WANT
TO THANK THE REPUBLICAN STAFF
GREAT OR GREAT VICE CHAIR FROM
BAKERSFIELD, BUT ALSO THE
PUBLICAN STAFF. JOSH IN STOCK.
REALLY THE BUDGET? UM I KNOW
THERE'S ALWAYS A LOT OF
DISCUSSION ABOUT THE THINGS THAT
WE DON'T AGREE WITH. IN GENERAL,
THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT WE
AGREE WITH. WE LIKE WE FIGHT
TOGETHER. IT'S REALLY TO ME IS A
LEGISLATIVE BUDGET PROPOSAL AND
LET ME ALSO THANK SENATOR
SKINNER AND HER ENTIRE BUDGET
TEAM. FOR ALL THE GREAT WORK.
THIS IS A BUDGET THAT HAS BEEN
AGREED UPON WITH THE SENATE THAT
WE VERY MUCH ARE LOOKING FORWARD
TO GET TO THE GOVERNOR. I WANT
TO THANK THE L A O R SERGEANTS,
ASSEMBLY TV DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE AND ALLEGED COUNCIL. ALL
THE HARD WORK AND GETTING THIS
OVER 1000 PAGE BILL, UM,
PREPARED TO US TODAY. AND WITH
THAT I RESPECT YOUR ANSWER. I
VOTE ON SP 1 54. THANK YOU, MR
KING. AND MR FONG, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. FIRST LET ME
ACKNOWLEDGE THE BUDGET CHAIR AND
THE WORK HE HAS PUT IN. IT SEEMS
LIKE EVERY YEAR I'VE SERVED WITH
HIM PRESENTS MORE UNIQUE AND
DIFFICULT CHALLENGES AND
DECISIONS AND THERE ARE ITEMS
HERE. WE AGREE THAT ARE NEEDED.
BUT WITH NEARLY $100 BILLION IN
SURPLUS. THE PROPOSAL BEFORE US
STILL FAILS TO ADEQUATELY
ADDRESS CRITICAL AND QUIRK-SILVA
IS FACING OUR STATE. FROM THE
DEVASTATING DROUGHT. T
CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRES TO A
POTENTIALLY CRIPPLING POWER
SHORTAGE. LET'S BE HONEST. AT
BEST, THIS BUDGET IS INCOMPLETE.
IN THE COMING MONTHS, WE WILL
HAVE MORE BUDGET BILLS. BILLS
THAT WILL MAGICALLY APPEAR
WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY WITHOUT
ACCOUNTABILITY WITHOUT PUBLIC
INPUT. TRANSPARENCY REQUIRES
MORE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. MORE
HEARINGS IN DISCUSSION.
CALIFORNIA'S BUDGET IS TOO
IMPORTANT TO EXCLUDE INPUT FROM
ALL SIDES. THE AFFORDABILITY
CRISIS IS REAL IN OUR STATE
ONGOING AND PERMANENT TAX RELIEF
SHOULD BE GIVEN TO HARD WORKING
CALIFORNIANS AND STRUGGLING
SMALL BUSINESSES. THIS IS A
NECESSARY DEBATE. WE MUST HAVE
BUT THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS
BILL THAT DEALS WITH THAT.
INFLATION IS AT A 40 YEAR HIGH.
THE AVERAGE FAMILY IN CALIFORNIA
IS PAYING OVER $8000 MORE FOR
THE SAME AMOUNT OF GOODS AS LAST
YEAR. GAS PRICES ARE CRUSHING
FAMILY BUDGETS. THE AVERAGE
PRICE OF GASOLINE COSTS $6.43 A
GALLON IN CALIFORNIA. THAT'S
ABOUT $100, A TANK. FOR MANY
COMMUTERS, THERE'S NOTHING IN
TODAY'S PROPOSAL TO BRING
IMMEDIATE RELIEF FOR
CALIFORNIANS NO GAS TAX
SUSPENSION, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS
BIPARTISAN AGREEMENT. GROCERIES
ARE GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE.
HOUSING PRICES AND RENTS ARE
STAGGERING. AND IF WE ARE
SERIOUS ABOUT EXAMINING WHY IT'S
SO EXPENSIVE TO LIVE AND WORK IN
OUR STATE. THIS LEGISLATURE AND
THIS GOVERNOR NEEDS TO LOOK IN
THE MIRROR AND RE EXAMINE ITS
COSTLY LAWS AND REGULATIONS. AS
THE STATE COFFERS GROW. FAMILY
BANK ACCOUNTS ARE SHRINKING.
WHEN CALIFORNIANS CONSISTENTLY
PAY MORE AND MORE TO SACRAMENTO
AND GET PENNIES BACK TEMPORARILY
, THAT IS NOT RELIEF.
CALIFORNIANS ARE BURDENED BY
TAXES, MANDATES AND COSTS AND
THEY ARE FLEEING CALIFORNIA.
CALIFORNIA IS FACING ITS THIRD
YEAR OF DROUGHT. FARMERS HAVE
HAD TO FOLLOW THEIR LAND,
RESIDENTS ARE BEING MANDATED TO
CUT BACK THEIR WATER USAGE. AS
LEADERS IN CALIFORNIA. WE HAVE
TO ASK OURSELVES DO WE VALUE
FOOD PRODUCTION IN CALIFORNIA? A
QUARTER OF THE NATION'S FOOD IS
GROWN IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY,
WHICH I'M PROUD TO PRESENT.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
ARE ARE EMPLOYED BY AGRICULTURE
AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE
GENERATED FOR THE STATE'S
ECONOMY. DO WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
OVER 20 MILLION PEOPLE GET THEIR
DRINKING WATER FROM THE STATE
WATER PROJECT. IN THIS PROPOSAL
. NO ADDITIONAL WATER STORAGES
PROPOSED NO DESALINIZATION. NO
URGENCY. JUST LAST YEAR WE
DEBATED ON THIS FLOOR ABOUT
WILDFIRE PREVENTION, FUNDING AND
NEEDED VEGETATION MANAGEMENT.
FIRES WERE BURNING ACROSS THE
STATE LAKE TAHOE'S BLUE JET BLUE
WATER WAS IN JEOPARDY. ASH WAS
FALLING ON THIS CAPITAL. YET
THERE IS NO SPECIFIC DETAILS
HERE ON WALL FOR QUALIFIED
PREVENTION, NO URGENCY. $40
BILLION OF GOODS AND PRODUCTS
MOVE THROUGH OUR PORTS. EVERY
ASPECT OF OUR ECONOMY IS
AFFECTED MANUFACTURING
AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS INGREDIENTS
FOR LIFE SAVING MEDICINES,
PACKAGING FOR BABY FORMULA, AND
THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. MORE
INVESTMENT IS NEEDED AT OUR
PORTS. WE NEED TO BUILD MORE
INLAND PORTS, EXPAND RAIL AND
TRUCKING CAPACITY AND AGAIN.
THIS BUDGET LACKS URGENCY TO
IMPROVE THE SUPPLY CHAIN. ON ON
PAYING DOWN THE UNEMPLOYMENT
INSURANCE DEBT. THIS BILL DOES
NOT PAY DOWN THE PRINCIPAL THAT
IS OWED AND WILL BE RESULTS IN
HIGHER PAYROLL TAXES ON SMALL
BUSINESSES IN THE FUTURE. AND
WITH A POTENTIAL RECESSION
LOOMING, WE SHOULD BE PUTTING
EVEN MORE MONEY IN THE RAIN DAY
FUND. MEMBERS. THESE ARE NOT
SMALL ISSUES. WHEN THE
ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO ACT, IT
WILL MOVE IN RAPID SPEED. BUT ON
THE CRISIS I'VE OUTLINED WHERE
IS THE POLITICAL WILL THAT
PHRASE IS USED A LOT ON THIS
FLOOR. ON PERMANENT TAX RELIEF
FOR THOSE WHO ARE CONSIDERING
LEAVING OUR STATE IS THERE THE
POLITICAL WILL TO BUILD WATER
STORAGE FOR FOOD PRODUCTION AND
OUR RESIDENTS WHO NEED DRINKING
WATER. IS THERE THE POLITICAL
WILL TO PREVENT WILDFIRES
RAVAGING OUR STATE. POTENTIALLY
IS THERE THE POLITICAL WILL ON
HARDENING OUR SUPPLY CHAIN
THAT'S AFFECTING OUR ENTIRE
ECONOMY ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IS
THERE THE POLITICAL WILL
CALIFORNIANS ARE RIGHTFULLY
FRUSTRATED. THEY ARE PAYING
MORE. AND GETTING LESS. STATE
SPENDING CONTINUES TO RISE, BUT
THE PROBLEMS GET WORSE CRISES GO
UNADDRESSED. NOW THERE IS A PUSH
TO CHANGE THE STATE
APPROPRIATION LIMIT SO STATE
GOVERNMENT CAN SPEND MORE
REMOVING A CRITICAL PIECE THAT
IS DESIGNED TO LIMIT THE SIZE%
AND GROWTH OF STATE GOVERNMENT.
THIS IS A RECIPE FOR FINANCIAL
IRRESPONSIBILITY. THIS BUDGET
FRAMEWORK OVERSPENDS IS
INCOMPLETE AND IT'S
UNSUSTAINABLE. AND THERE'S NO
ACCOUNTABILITY WHEN MORE
OVERSIGHT IS NEEDED, AND THAT IS
ACCEPTED. BY BOTH SIDES OF THE
AISLE. YOU MUST FOCUS ON WHETHER
WE MUST FOCUS ON WHETHER RESULTS
ARE BEING ACHIEVED NOT JUST ON
HOW MUCH MONEY IS SPENT. THESE
DOLLARS. I'D LIKE TO REMIND ALL
THE MEMBERS OR THE HARD EARNED
MONEY OF CALIFORNIANS. IT IS NOT
SACRAMENTO'S MONEY. MEMBERS.
THERE ARE STRUCTURAL ISSUES.
THAT STILL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.
I REGRETFULLY ASKED FOR A NO
VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR
FONG. MR MCCURDY. YOU ALL
RECOGNIZE? THANK YOU. MR SPEAKER
. I WANT TO RISE AND TALK ABOUT
THE EDUCATION PIECE OF THIS
BUDGET. BUT BEFORE THAT, I THINK
OUR BUDGET SHARE OUTLINED IT
APPROPRIATELY. NO NO ONE THOUGHT
THAT WE WOULD BE HERE A YEAR
LATER AFTER LAST YEAR'S ONCE IN
A GENERATION BUDGET TO HAVE
AGAIN $100 BILLION SURPLUS WITH
THE MAY REVISE IN THE JANUARY
BUDGET COMBINED. AS OUR BUDGET
SHARE FROM SAN FRANCISCO ALLUDES
WE SPEND ROUGHLY 90% OF THIS
GOING TO ONE TIME. THINGS THAT
IS THAT, BY DEFINITION OF BEING
RESPONSIBLE, NOT IRRESPONSIBLE.
WE PUT MORE IN OUR RAINY DAY
FUND THEN BY FAR IN HISTORY
NORTH OF 35. BILLION DOLLARS
JUST FOR COMPARISON SAKE DURING
THE LAST DOWNTURN, WE HAD JUST A
COUPLE OF BILLION DOLLARS IN THE
RAINY DAY FUND. SO THIS IS BY
DEFINITION DOING WHAT IS
PRUDENT. THE THINGS THAT WE
DIDN'T FOCUS ON ONLY ONE TIME
ARE THINGS THAT YOU ALL CARE
ABOUT? I KNOW THAT ALL OF YOU
RAN FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO
IMPROVE OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO
PROVE FUNDING OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS. FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS,
CALIFORNIA WAS IN THE BASEMENT
THAT THE BOTTOM 10 STATES AND
PER PUPIL FUNDING. WE HAVE BEEN
RECONCILED YET BECAUSE BUDGETS
NOT DONE, WE HAVEN'T SEEN OTHER
STATES ARE DOING BUT ALL
ACCOUNTS WE THINK THAT WE'RE
GOING TO BE ROUGHLY IN THE TOP
10 ISH BY FAR THE TOP HALF. SO
AFTER 40 YEARS IN THE BASEMENT,
THE GUTTER AND SCHOOL FUNDING
NOW ARE THE ABSOLUTE OPPOSITE. I
KNOW THAT'S WHY YOU RAN FOR THE
LEGISLATURE TO PROPERLY FUND OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS. WE'RE SPENDING A
LITTLE BIT MORE IN ONGOING AND
PROPERTIES IN 98 TO ADEQUATELY
FUND OUR OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS,
GIVING A NEARLY 16% INCREASE
THIS DISTRICTS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA. MY DISTRICT HERE HAS
SAID FINANCIAL WORLDS FOR MANY
YEARS WE SAW STRIKE THIS PAST.
SPRING WE SAW ONE IN OAKLAND.
WE'VE SEEN LABOR ISSUES AND
MANAGEMENT ISSUES ABOUT NOT
PROPERLY FUNDING OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS. THIS IS GOING TO ANSWER
THE CALL TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE
PROPERLY FUND OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS. AND GIVE IT
DISCRETIONARY. TWO DISTRICTS,
NOT IN CATEGORICAL THAT WE CAN'T
USE THOSE MONEYS LIKE WE
REALIZED DURING THE PANDEMIC,
BUT FOCUSING ON THE TRUE NEED
AND OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS MR
BUDGET CHAIR NOTED, TOO. WE
PROPERLY FUND EARLY EDUCATION
AND DO A INAPPROPRIATE.
ADJUSTMENT TO CHILDCARE PROVIDER
RATES TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS
BECAUSE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS
WE'VE DONE SLOT AFTER SLOT
INCREASES, BUT HAVING FUNDED THE
PROPER RATE REIMBURSEMENT
STRUCTURE, SO THAT HADN'T QUITE
WORKED THIS, WE'RE GOING TO
FINISH THE JOB ON RATE REFORM ON
HIGHER EDUCATION AGAIN. WE'RE
OPENING THE DOORS TO UC AND CSU
EXPANDING ENROLLMENT. EXPANDING
ACCESS AND FOCUSING ON FINANCIAL
AID TO MAKE SURE CALIFORNIANS
GRADUATE WITHOUT HAVING DEBT
THAT HOLDS THEM BACK FOR
GENERATIONS. SO WITH THAT THIS
IS THE BUDGET THAT YOU RAN FOR
OFFICE FOR. TO FUND EDUCATION
FROM OUR YOUNGEST LEARNERS ALL
THE WAY TO HIGHER EDUCATION.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR
MCCARTHY. YES, DR. CHOI YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU. CHAIR. I
RISE TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS ON
THIS. AND OR THIS BILL, OR TO ME
AS TRAVELING. AND ALSO THERE ARE
SO MANY ELEMENTS IN THIS BUDGET.
I DO NOT FULLY SUPPORT I'LL BE
VOTING IN FAVORABLE THIS SB 1 54
TO ADVANCE. FUNDING FOR MANY
IMPORTANT ITEMS, WHICH IS
SUPPORT THE STRUGGLING A SMALL
BUSINESSES AND THE FAMILIES ARE
IN ORANGE COUNTY AND ACROSS
