For Immediate Release
MENLO PARK – “Governor Newsom’s budget gives California what we need to come back strong. His proposal will help create the ‘Everyone Economy’ we need by using California’s historic surplus to aid those most in need and provide the springboard to true economic mobility that will break the cycle of generational poverty. This plan will help our families, our small businesses, the unhoused; invest in our kids, especially their growth and education; and address critical elements of our lives and livelihoods in the Golden State, including our water resilience and digital equity.
“I’m a fervent advocate of using our historic surplus to address California’s historic needs and boldly attack the social and economic inequities that have plagued our state so the future we have long envisioned becomes a reality. The proposed budget invests in the literal and figurative building blocks of our economy: the human capital of Californians.”
--State Senator Josh Becker. D- Peninsula
