The #CAbudget showcases our collective values, and the governor’s proposal does not meet the moment.

At a time of rising affordability pressures and brutal federal attacks, California should be doing more to protect families and combat affordability challenges.

Did you know? California businesses pay unemployment insurance (UI) taxes on the smallest share of wages in the nation.

Because the state’s taxable wage base is low and fixed, it raises far too little to adequately fund UI benefits during economic downturns. #CABudget

“So our critique of the @CAgovernor's budget is that it doesn’t really make any effort in that area.” #CABudget

How will California counties pay for the uninsured?

“State leaders need to decide where they’re going to find the funding that would be needed to help those who are going to lose healthcare as a result of these federal funding and policy cuts.”
