Note: my email was down for the past few days — apologize for delay in getting back to people and delay in getting reports out. Transferred everything to new computer — so things will be back to semi-normal now. Sort of. — Marty Omoto
SACRAMENTO, CALIF (CDCAN) [Updated 02/17/2011 – 09:55 PM (Pacific Time)] – As reported in CDCAN Report #049-2011, the Assembly Budget Committee released a 56 budget subcommittee report dated February 18th that lists out the recommended actions for the full committee to approve when it meets Friday morning, February 18th, at the State Capitol in Room 4202. For the details and summary of what is contained in that report, see CDCAN Report #049-2011 or go to the CDCAN website at www.cdcan.us
The 56 page report is attached to CDCAN Report #049-2011, saved as a document pdf file (so persons who are blind or sight impaired can read using screen reading devices) titled "2011-02-18 - Assembly Budget Sub Committee Reports.pdf"
Unlike the Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee, which scheduled hearings over a 3 day period, ending Friday – the Assembly Budget Committee decided to only meet one day to take final action on the entire budget proposed by the Governor.
In some cases actions recommended by Assembly Budget Committee staff through the various Assembly Budget Subcommittees are identical or similar to the actions taken by the Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee, such as the cuts in the Medi-Cal program.
