Tuesday, May 12, 2020
Edit
In whatsoever other year, the new budget plan supported yesteryear Governor Brown together with the Democrats inwards the legislature would accept been considered a major victory for financial conservatives. Not solely does the budget cut back vital services yesteryear billions of dollars, but it does close cypher to increment futurity revenues. In fact, inwards the dandy tradition of Californian governors, Brown tin solely brand his innovation appear balanced yesteryear projecting wildly optimistic taxation returns, together with if $4 billion novel dollars don't come upwards in, to a greater extent than or less other circular of budget cuts volition hold upwards triggered.
What I produce non empathise is why the progressive caucus inwards the legislature did non try to block the bargain together with position on the tabular array progressive solutions. Perhaps our solely promise is that Brown volition locomote amongst unions to position progressive taxes on a exceptional election ballot. Brown has fifty-fifty hinted that he mightiness back upwards modifying Prop 13.
In damage of the UC, the tidings is mixed. We did non teach the amount $1 billion cut, but to a greater extent than reductions volition occur if the rosy taxation revenue predictions produce non come upwards to fruition. Of course, the amount cutting of $650 1 thou 1000 volition justify a novel circular of tuition increases together with a faster slide towards privatization.
