For immediate release:
SACRAMENTO—Assemblymember Dr. Joaquin Arambula (D-Fresno) released the following statement after Gov. Jerry Brown released his initial budget proposal:
“I believe the Governor has laid out a responsible approach to this year’s budget. Due to the uncertainty we face at the federal level, I think it is prudent to proceed cautiously. We need to wait and see what the new Trump Administration will propose to important programs like the Affordable Care Act and respond appropriately. What the Governor has proposed today is a starting point and we will use the next six months to develop a balanced budget.”
