Senate Leader Limón’s Statement on the LAO Fiscal Outlook

(SACRAMENTO) – Senate President pro Tempore Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara) issued the following statement regarding the Legislative Analyst's Office Fiscal Outlook issued today: 

“California’s economy remains steady, despite some self-inflicted economic wounds from our own federal government, including harmful tariffs, attacks on our workforce, and shortsighted federal budget actions.  
 

“While the Legislative Analyst forecasts a budget shortfall, the upcoming January and May forecasts will also inform the Senate’s work in crafting a responsible state budget that protects core programs, including education, childcare, safety net, health care, and public safety. 
 

“I also thank the Legislative Analyst’s Office for their invaluable work, and the Senate looks forward to working with the Assembly and the Governor in the months ahead to develop the best budget possible for the people of California."
