Statement by Assemblymember Olsen on Legislative Analyst’s Budget Report

11-16-11 Assemblymember Kristin Olsen, R-Modesto,  issued the following statement in response to the release of the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s fiscal report for the upcoming fiscal year: “Today’s news that California will face a $13 billion budget deficit in the coming fiscal year underscores that this year’s budget was built on faulty assumptions.  Democrats and Republicans must begin working together immediately to prioritize spending in order to avoid further cuts to education and public safety.  We can identify solutions to get California back on track if we come together to work on bipartisan reforms and spending reductions.” Read the Legislative Analyst’s full budget report here.
