Preserving Local Government's Funding

I will fight for local government's current funding base to be preserved in the State Constitution, which will prevent the State of California from raiding local coffers to balance their own budget, rather than make cuts in state government, which has grown 37% in the last three years.

Cities and counties provide the essential services to our communities and they must not be punished for the inability of Sacramento politicians to say no to special interests. The budget should be balanced by cutting waste in State Government, eliminating phantom bureaucrat positions, halting the growth of government, and planning for the future wisely. Sacramento politicians will instead seek to balance the budget on the backs of local governments and taxpayers and that is just not right!
