Labor Chair Hernández’ statement on Governor’s May revision budget
Assembly member Roger Hernandez released the following statement after Governor Brown released his May Revision of the 2013-14 state budget:
“California’s economy has been on the path to recovery for some time now, however, we must proceed cautiously as we move towards a sound budget and continue to monitor the effects from the federal sequester, which are still unclear as to the impact to this state. Governor Brown shared plans to help put Californian’s back to work through the revamping of the state’s enterprise zone and hiring credit programs.
I welcome his enthusiasm to work collectively to find a budget that addresses all the needs of Californians. By providing an additional $48 million in CalWORKs job training and subsidized employment opportunities, we are moving towards a road where individuals can provide for their families.
In addition, as Chair of the Committee of Labor and Employment, I look forward in working with Governor Brown and my colleagues to ensure he has the support of the Legislature.”
