We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
Calif. budget deficit shrinks to $1.9B with taxes, 2014 surplus projected
SACRAMENTO (AP) – The nonpartisan legislative analyst says California is facing a much smaller deficit of $1.9 billion through the end of the next fiscal year and could even see surpluses over the next few years.
The Legislative Analyst’s Office on Wednesday released a positive but cautious forecast for the state, a week after Californians approved Gov. Jerry Brown’s sales and income tax initiative.
Analyst Mac Taylor says California is at a “promising moment” that could mark the end of a decade of budget deficits. He projects a much smaller deficit of $1.9 billion for the 2013 fiscal year, compared to the $15.7 billion deficit lawmakers faced earlier this year.
The analyst’s report projects a surplus starting in 2014, thanks partly to Brown’s tax initiative, the state’s economic recovery and previous budget cuts.
