1/8/2010 - Senate Republican Legislators React to Governor Schwarzenegger's 2010-11 Budget Proposal [Audio]

Senate and Assembly Republicans today reacted to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 2010-11 spending plan.

“Senate Republicans are glad to see Governor Schwarzenegger’s commitment to not raise taxes again and his focus on job creation and beginning the process of eliminating job killing regulations. While this budget involves tough choices, that’s no different than the tough choices every California family has to make in these difficult economic times,” said Senate Republican Leader Dennis Hollingsworth, R-Murrieta.

“Controlling spending and not raising taxes have to be our top priorities in order to get California back on the right track- this budget is a good start,” Hollingsworth added.
