Today, Assembly Republican Leader Brian Dahle released the following statement in response to Governor Brown’s budget proposal:
“It’s a strange world where politicians are celebrating that the government took too much money from taxpayers, but that’s exactly what is happening with this budget surplus. My question is: when do California taxpayers get a break?
“In the meantime, Sacramento needs to invest in the state in ways that don’t put taxpayers on the hook for more ongoing spending programs. That means increasing the rainy day fund, paying down our out-of-control debt and investing in one-time infrastructure projects.”
Brian Dahle represents California’s 1st Assembly District, which includes Lassen County along with all or parts of Butte, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra and Siskiyou counties.
