Gov. Jerry Brown Signs Christmas Tree Budget For Special Interests Paid For By Working Families

Statement

Republican gubernatorial nominee Neel Kashkari today issued the following statement on Gov. Jerry Brown's signing of the state budget:

"Despite the nation's highest poverty rate and a failing education system, Gov. Jerry Brown today signed the largest budget in state history that is nothing more than a giveaway for special interests paid for by working families. Higher gas prices for his pet High Speed Rail project, a last minute tax break for a favored industry, and micromanaging local school spending from Sacramento -- Brown's budget priorities represent more of the same back-room dealing from Sacramento. Unfortunately for the millions of workers struggling to find good jobs, kids stuck in failing schools, and families trying to make ends meet, this budget does nothing to provide a better future through economic opportunity for all."
