Controller Comments on Governor's Proposed Budget

SACRAMENTO – State Controller John Chiang today issued the following comment on Governor Brown’s proposed budget:

“Governor Brown has proposed some ugly solutions to an even uglier situation, but history has shown that surrendering to gimmicks and delay only makes our problems multiply.  It is a refreshing departure from past schemes that too often sacrificed long-term fiscal stability for band-aid solutions.  While more work is required, this plan is an honest first step toward building consensus on how to best shape California’s future.”
