State Director of Finance Ana Matosantos Responds to Comments on May Revision from Legislative Analyst’s Office

State Director of Finance Ana Matosantos today issued the following statement in response to today’s comments on the May Revision from the Legislative Analyst’s Office:

“We are pleased that the LAO’s analysis confirms that the May Revision is a credible plan that will balance the budget while protecting education, public safety, and other core services. The Analyst commends the Governor for putting forward a fiscally responsible plan that would make major strides toward dismantling California’s massive wall of debt. We understand that our schools and local governments want a final budget so they can make plans for next year – so it’s vital to get this choice before voters without delay.”
