Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher criticized the early action budget deal announced by Gov. Newsom and Democrat legislative leaders, calling it a missed opportunity. Gallagher stated, “This deal is a swing and a miss from Democrats. California’s budget has major league problems and Newsom is proposing JV solutions. With a $73 billion deficit, this gimmicky agreement is not the homerun Gavin thinks it is.”
Gallagher further emphasized the impact of the budget on Californians, saying, “The emotional, real truth of this budget is visceral to the Californians who will pay the price for Newsom’s delusions and exaggerations.”
The budget deal proposed by Gov. Newsom and Democrat leaders faced criticism from the Assembly Republican Leader for its perceived inadequacy in addressing the state’s financial challenges.
