Dear fellow Democrats:
Our state continues to face a tremendous budget shortfall, and the Governor’s latest budget proposal includes deep cuts that will devastate the lives of millions of Californians and worsen California’s economy. Democrats have always stood up for the people of California, fighting to guarantee funding for critical services and programs and protecting those who are at greatest risk.
In contrast, the Republican legislative minority and their lame duck Governor have time and again conspired to block adoption of reasonable budgets and sources of new revenue. They have attempted to divide Democratic legislators and our allies by refusing to vote for budgetary proposals and literally holding the state hostage in order to advance their partisan and individual political agendas, without regard for those most vulnerable and most impacted by their actions.
California’s budget must reflect the needs of our people, the services we need, and the means to pay for them. We need a balanced budget solution that includes new revenues in addition to cuts.
Now, we must speak out. Join us in calling on all Legislators to protect Californians, minimize the most severe cuts and support a balanced budget solution!
Democratically yours,
Eric C. Bauman
Chair
Los Angeles County Democratic Party
