KNABE SUPPORTS GOVERNOR’S BUDGET PRIORITY PLAN

Los Angeles, August 7, 2008 – “This afternoon, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that until the Legislature passes a budget, he will veto every piece of legislation that is unrelated to the budget. The Governor’s decision to make the budget the highest priority has my support.”

“The fact is we are more than a month into the new fiscal year and California still does not have a budget. I agree with the Governor that this is a tremendous disservice to the people of our State. There is nothing more important in the Capitol right now than passing a state budget.”

“Even though the Los Angeles County budget is currently balanced, the State’s uncertain fiscal condition could have a dramatic impact on our County coffers. The longer the Legislature waits to take action, the worse shape we could be in locally when a budget is finally passed.”
