SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Kristin Olsen, R-Modesto, today issued the following statement regarding her votes to support cutting government spending during yesterday’s vote in the Assembly on nine budget-related bills:
“Yesterday, we took an important step toward closing our budget deficit by passing bills to reduce state spending by $7.4 billion. These were not votes that I took lightly. I recognize that many Californians will be impacted by these cuts and they were not easy to make. But the only road to financial stability is making difficult but necessary reductions to our spending. It is equally as important that we enact long-term reforms to change the way government operates and to grow jobs in California.”
More budget-related bills are expected to come before the Assembly today. Olsen said her votes will continue to reflect her commitment to reducing government spending and passing structural reforms to ensure the fiscal health of our state.
