SACRAMENTO –Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez (D-Los Angeles) issued the following statement today after chief Legislative Analyst Elizabeth Hill announced her retirement:

“Everyone who values serious advice for meeting California’s serious challenges owes a tremendous debt to Liz Hill. Her thoughtful, non-partisan stewardship of the Legislative Analyst’s Office is an example of public service at its best.

Even on the rare occasion when I may have disagreed with Ms. Hill’s perspectives on a particular issue, I have always greatly admired her professionalism and her determination to do right by the people of California. She will definitely be a tough act for anyone to follow.”
