SACRAMENTO—Speaker Fabian Núñez (D-Los Angeles) today issued the following statement after the Legislative Analyst’s Office released its analysis of the Governor’s budget proposal:

“The Legislative Analyst underscores some of the key concerns Assembly Democrats have as we work to address the state's budget imbalance: across the board cuts don't adequately reflect the state's needs and demands, revenue sources from closing tax loopholes and credits must be on the table, and the budget reform proposals put forward so far have serious flaws. This report is more evidence that we should focus on a real and comprehensive approach that makes sure California's expenditures balance with revenues, and that our priorities balance with our values.”
