Senator Wyland Says Governor Not Doing Enough

By Jim Peterson on March 14, 2011

Digital News Report – Republicans admit that the Democratic budget plan for California will cut spending, but not enough.

Republicans say there is “too much spending” and “not enough jobs”. According to state Senator Mark Wyland, it is just a reduction in the spending increases.

“Governor Brown’s budget does reduce spending, but only about $8 billion (he claims $12 billion) are permanent reductions,” Wyland said.

The senator says that there are no “real reforms” and the governor needs to do something about welfare fraud. “Believe me, there is a lot of it, like the welfare cards used in casinos and on cruise ships,” Wyland reported.

Wyland also complains about the unfriendly business climate. “One of the largest examples was the electronic chip maker, Intel, which recently announced $7 billion in new chip plants. In California, the Silicon Valley, which it practically invented? No! (The plants will be built) in Arizona and New Mexico, where they can build a plant in a year without endless regulation, taxes, and fees.”

Governor Jerry Brown says he has support for his budget plan. He announced that there is more than two dozen California agriculture organizations supporting his budget plan. He wants to let the voters decide whether to extend existing tax increases.

“We need to give these people hope that California has a plan that will restore its greatness,” said Manuel Cunha, president of the Nisei Farmers League.
