Assemblymember Freddie Rodriguez released the following statement after the Assembly passed the 2014-15 State Budget:
“The budget passed today reflects our commitment to fiscal discipline by paying down our debt and investing in our shared priorities. After years of cuts to education, we are able to increase funding to our schools by $5.6 billion and make a substantial investment in pre-school and early education. This year’s budget also provides for over $1.2 billion in shovel-ready infrastructure improvement projects that will create jobs, improve our local streets and create affordable housing projects.
Just as important, the budget we passed today invests in California’s future by building our financial reserves. Although our economy is recovering, it is important that we take steps to prepare for another economic downturn. Strong budget reserves are fiscally responsible and build a strong economic foundation for our state.”
