Senate Republican Chairman George Runner (R-Antelope Valley) released the following statements today in response to Governor Schwarzenegger’s May Revise:
“I believe Californians will deliver a message this Tuesday during the special election that they do not want higher taxes. It’s up to the Legislature and the Governor to fix the fiscal mess—that’s our job.”
“I appreciate the Governor bringing issues—such as consolidating boards and commissions, selling assets, and looking at public employee benefits—to the table. But these are just starting points. California’s state government needs to fundamentally evaluate the way it does business. State government needs to live within its means the same way that working families do.”
