The Budget According to Art

CDP Chair Art Torres today issued the following statement:

"California is fast approaching one month past the constitutional budget deadline, and obstructionist Senate Republicans continue to place partisan ideology above the wellbeing of the state, leaving many vital state services in jeopardy.

Our state has many great challenges facing us, including a health care crisis, under-funded public schools, and climate change. We cannot afford to let rigid extremism stand in the way of what is good for the people.

I urge Governor Schwarzenegger to come back to Sacramento, actively engage in the process and use his influence within his party, if he has any, to get the state moving again."
