Senator Alvarado-Gil: Budget fails to make California more affordable

Today, Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil (R–Jackson) released the following statement in opposition to today’s budget vote, saying it fails to make California more affordable for families:

“The budget voted on today increases spending while doing nothing to improve our state’s affordability crisis. At the same time, it underfunds Prop 36, which 70% of Californians supported, while setting aside over $10 billion for healthcare for undocumented individuals. Californians deserve a real budget that is honest, transparent, and focused on their needs — not a shell document for Sacramento Democrats to check a box. I voted No.”
