Senate Republican Leader Bob Dutton (Rancho Cucamonga) released the following statement regarding the March 17 vote on the budget bill:
“Unfortunately, Senate Democrats have passed a budget without Republican support. This budget grows government by 30 percent over the next three years and relies on the hope that Californians will increase their own taxes by $50 billion during the next five years,” said Dutton. “Senate Republicans will continue to fight for a state budget that puts people back to work, includes long-term solutions, and puts an end to government as usual.”
