Attorney General Kamala D. Harris Issues Statement on Governor Brown’s Proposed Budget

SACRAMENTO -- Attorney General Kamala D. Harris today issued the following statement on Governor Brown’s proposed budget:

“Today Governor Brown proposed a balanced budget that avoids the deep cuts the state has suffered for many years. Voters placed their trust in state government by approving Proposition 30 and it is important that their trust is honored and their money is spent wisely. This includes smart investments that benefit Californians, such as restoring funding for the state's prescription-drug monitoring program and support for law enforcement programs that reduce the number of illegal firearms on our streets. It also means sending resources to our schools in a way that ensures all children, especially those in our poorest communities, receive a quality education.”
