2010-11 Budget Update Kristine Chong Nov. 9, 2010
Budget Passage • October 8, 2010 (100th day after constitutional deadline) • Closes a $19.6-billion gap • Provides $86.9 billion in spending BUT… • Relies on: • optimistic federal reimbursement rates • revenue projections • heavy reductions in education and the wages and pensions paid to CA’s workforce
What Next? Continued structural budget deficit + inability to develop revenue More work ahead for advocates defending access to social services for low-income Californians NEED FOR CONTINUED ADVOCACY!
