His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 6:15 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress has passed a stopgap spending bill, sending the measure to President Trump's desk to end the partial shutdown of the federal government, now in its third day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House has indicated Trump will sign the bill in time for normal operations to resume by Tuesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill passed the Senate on a 81-18 vote, but the real hurdle was the procedural vote earlier in the day requiring at least 60 votes. That's where the measure hit a snafu late Friday night, triggering the stalemate. The House later passed the 17-day extension by a 266-150 vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly before the Monday procedural vote was set to begin, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced that he would vote to reopen the government along with enough Democrats needed to advance the bill. After 24 hours of furious negotiation over plans to consider immigration legislation in the coming weeks, the Senate voted to move forward with the continuing resolution, which would fund the government through Feb. 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In exchange for his support, Schumer said, he has received assurances from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that if an agreement isn't reached by then, the GOP leader will bring a vote to the floor on legislation to grant legal status to those protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, roughly 700,000 immigrants who are in the country illegally after being brought here as children. The bill also extends the expired Children's Health Insurance Program for six years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell says Democrats caved because they realized holding out for a DACA deal tied to the funding deal was not wise politically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think if we've learned anything during this process it's that a strategy to shut down the government over the issue of illegal immigration is something that the American people didn't understand,\" McConnell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer, however, argued that blame for the weekend-long stalemate lay at the president's feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reason the Republican majority had such difficulty finding consensus is they could never get a firm grip on what the president of their party wanted to do. These days, you never know who to deal with when it comes to the Republicans,\" Schumer said. \"The Republican leaders told me to work out a deal with the White House. The White House said, work it out with Republican leaders on the Hill. Separately, President Trump turned away from not one, but two, bipartisan compromises. Each would have avoided this shutdown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement later Monday, Trump said that with the government on the path to reopening, the administration would work on immigration legislation — but \"only if it's good for our country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am pleased that Democrats in Congress have come to their senses and are now willing to fund our great military, border patrol, first responders and insurance for vulnerable children,\" Trump said. \"As I've always said, once the government is funded, my administration will work towards solving the problem of very unfair illegal immigration. We will make a long-term deal on immigration if and only if it's good for our country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders dodged questions at the daily briefing as to whether that would include a path to citizenship for DACA recipients, which many hard-line conservatives oppose. And she insisted that the president has been clear about what he wants in an immigration bill, despite shifting positions over the past week that even GOP leaders have complained about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the measure moving forward, it will now be hard for Democrats to argue they extracted many concessions from GOP leaders. McConnell's promise is just that — a promise. \"Some of us struggle to trust him,\" Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/22/579645748/democrats-want-immigration-issues-solved-before-vote-on-budget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told NPR's Morning Edition\u003c/a>, \"because of the famously vulgar way that President Trump sort of blew up the last time that Sens. [Lindsey] Graham and [Dick] Durbin offered him a bipartisan deal [on immigration].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats were trying to frame the deal as a temporary victory, though. Senate Minority Whip Durbin took the floor to call the DACA issue the \"civil rights issue of our time\" and underscore the importance of passing an immigration bill by the new deadline, which he said McConnell had assured them would be on a level playing field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many Senate Democrats had remained entrenched in their opposition to any funding deal that didn't include a DACA fix, a growing number of moderate lawmakers were wary of an extended shutdown fight. Most of the endangered Democrats who are up for re-election in 2018 in states that Trump won all voted to advance the measure, except for Montana Sen. Jon Tester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., who faces a potentially competitive re-election this fall, sounded optimistic about the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What you have is pretty much an ironclad commitment that if we don't resolve this -- and that's what we're going to try to do with the Graham bill -- resolve the DACA issue by Feb. 8, the commitment is you go to the floor with a neutral bill, like a shell, and you let the Senate process work,\" Nelson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Democrats had worried that the Republican talking point --that Democrats were siding with \"illegal immigrants\" over the military and government -- would resonate with voters as the stalemate extended into the workweek Monday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/955426609326100480\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted that argument\u003c/a> himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/955426609326100480\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., who has argued for tougher immigration standards, also echoed that sentiment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shutting down the government and depriving American citizens of services because you want amnesty for illegal immigrants is a massive political blunder,\" said Cotton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has generally kept a low profile during the shutdown. He canceled a planned trip to Florida, where he hoped to celebrate the first anniversary of his inauguration with a high-dollar fundraising party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aides say the president spent the weekend telephoning lawmakers and working with staff to minimize fallout from shuttered government operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders pushed back on allegations from Schumer and other Democrats that Trump was absent from negotiations over the weekend and never reached out to their side. \"What the president did clearly worked,\" Sanders countered. \"The vote just came in 81-18.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of about 20 senators met for several hours on Saturday and again on Sunday afternoon to hash out the plan that ultimately allowed both sides to back down from their increasingly entrenched positions and vote to reopen the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives from those talks briefed leaders Sunday afternoon, but the suspense dragged out for nearly six hours before McConnell made his announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several of the senators in the bipartisan group said they worried a prolonged shutdown could become harder to fix and would cause greater damage to the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., who is one of several Democrats up for re-election in states where Trump won in 2016, joined the talks. \"One of the things we learned from the last shutdown was that as time goes on, positions harden,\" Heitkamp said. \"Resolution gets more difficult the longer we wait.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, more liberal senators -- including several potential 2020 hopefuls such as Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Kamala Harris of California and Bernie Sanders of Vermont -- all voted against the measure, standing firm over the DACA issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two conservative GOP senators, Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky, also voted no, though they have repeatedly opposed on principle any continuing resolutions as a way to keep the government funded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House still has to vote on the new legislation. Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said Sunday on CBS' \u003cem>Face the Nation\u003c/em> that he would support a spending bill like the one being discussed in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[McConnell] is going to bring up a bill keeping things funded to Feb. 8,\" Ryan said. \"We have agreed that we would accept that in the House.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One potential issue is that the deal to vote on immigration proposals applies only to the Senate. The House could choose to ignore whatever the Senate takes up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR White House correspondent Scott Horsley and NPR congressional correspondent Susan Davis contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

And she insisted that the president has been clear about what he wants in an immigration bill, despite shifting positions over the past week that even GOP leaders have complained about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the measure moving forward, it will now be hard for Democrats to argue they extracted many concessions from GOP leaders. McConnell's promise is just that — a promise. \"Some of us struggle to trust him,\" Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/22/579645748/democrats-want-immigration-issues-solved-before-vote-on-budget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told NPR's Morning Edition\u003c/a>, \"because of the famously vulgar way that President Trump sort of blew up the last time that Sens. [Lindsey] Graham and [Dick] Durbin offered him a bipartisan deal [on immigration].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats were trying to frame the deal as a temporary victory, though. Senate Minority Whip Durbin took the floor to call the DACA issue the \"civil rights issue of our time\" and underscore the importance of passing an immigration bill by the new deadline, which he said McConnell had assured them would be on a level playing field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many Senate Democrats had remained entrenched in their opposition to any funding deal that didn't include a DACA fix, a growing number of moderate lawmakers were wary of an extended shutdown fight. Most of the endangered Democrats who are up for re-election in 2018 in states that Trump won all voted to advance the measure, except for Montana Sen. Jon Tester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., who faces a potentially competitive re-election this fall, sounded optimistic about the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What you have is pretty much an ironclad commitment that if we don't resolve this -- and that's what we're going to try to do with the Graham bill -- resolve the DACA issue by Feb. 8, the commitment is you go to the floor with a neutral bill, like a shell, and you let the Senate process work,\" Nelson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Democrats had worried that the Republican talking point --that Democrats were siding with \"illegal immigrants\" over the military and government -- would resonate with voters as the stalemate extended into the workweek Monday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/955426609326100480\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted that argument\u003c/a> himself.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tom Cotton, R-Ark., who has argued for tougher immigration standards, also echoed that sentiment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shutting down the government and depriving American citizens of services because you want amnesty for illegal immigrants is a massive political blunder,\" said Cotton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has generally kept a low profile during the shutdown. He canceled a planned trip to Florida, where he hoped to celebrate the first anniversary of his inauguration with a high-dollar fundraising party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aides say the president spent the weekend telephoning lawmakers and working with staff to minimize fallout from shuttered government operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders pushed back on allegations from Schumer and other Democrats that Trump was absent from negotiations over the weekend and never reached out to their side. \"What the president did clearly worked,\" Sanders countered. \"The vote just came in 81-18.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of about 20 senators met for several hours on Saturday and again on Sunday afternoon to hash out the plan that ultimately allowed both sides to back down from their increasingly entrenched positions and vote to reopen the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives from those talks briefed leaders Sunday afternoon, but the suspense dragged out for nearly six hours before McConnell made his announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several of the senators in the bipartisan group said they worried a prolonged shutdown could become harder to fix and would cause greater damage to the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., who is one of several Democrats up for re-election in states where Trump won in 2016, joined the talks. \"One of the things we learned from the last shutdown was that as time goes on, positions harden,\" Heitkamp said. \"Resolution gets more difficult the longer we wait.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, more liberal senators -- including several potential 2020 hopefuls such as Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Kamala Harris of California and Bernie Sanders of Vermont -- all voted against the measure, standing firm over the DACA issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two conservative GOP senators, Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky, also voted no, though they have repeatedly opposed on principle any continuing resolutions as a way to keep the government funded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House still has to vote on the new legislation. Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said Sunday on CBS' \u003cem>Face the Nation\u003c/em> that he would support a spending bill like the one being discussed in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[McConnell] is going to bring up a bill keeping things funded to Feb. 8,\" Ryan said. \"We have agreed that we would accept that in the House.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One potential issue is that the deal to vote on immigration proposals applies only to the Senate. The House could choose to ignore whatever the Senate takes up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR White House correspondent Scott Horsley and NPR congressional correspondent Susan Davis contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Republicans' approval ratings tanked after they were blamed for engineering the last government shutdown in 2013. A little more than a year later, voters delivered the GOP a Senate majority. And in the Trump era, the news cycle has only accelerated, giving crises a shorter and shorter half-life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, President Trump was tweeting before dawn on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Democrats are far more concerned with Illegal Immigrants than they are with our great Military or Safety at our dangerous Southern Border,\" the president offered in his first volley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/954674157144477696\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are seizing on a rare moment of leverage, with a spending bill that needs their votes, to try to make permanent the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The Obama-era policy shields about 700,000 immigrants from deportation, those in the country illegally who were brought to the U.S. as children. But Republicans point out that DACA won't really expire until March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The federal government is needlessly shut down because of Senate Democrats. One party, in one house of this Congress, is deliberately holding our government hostage,\" House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said during a floor speech on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The GOP included a six-year extension of the Children's Health Insurance Program in their government funding bill, making it harder for Democrats to oppose. But Democrats tanked the bill anyway, and Republicans accused them of pulling a stunt that put needy children at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats had an answer for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're using the kids as an excuse. They're using the children of CHIP as an excuse, and the children of the DREAMers as an excuse,\" House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said on Saturday after huddling with her caucus behind closed doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Negotiating with President Trump is like negotiating with Jell-O,\" Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in floor remarks a day after a meeting with Trump that both sides said was favorable. Whatever progress they made at the White House on Friday obviously didn't lead to a deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Democrats are not going to let anyone forget \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/859393829505552385\">when Trump tweeted last year\u003c/a>, \"Our country needs a good 'shutdown.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/859393829505552385\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's too early to tell who the public will decide is at fault, or if they'll even assign blame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were polls \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/more-blame-republicans-than-democrats-for-potential-government-shutdown-post-abc-poll-finds/2018/01/19/c4fce2f6-fd32-11e7-ad8c-ecbb62019393_story.html\">before the shutdown started \u003c/a>warning Republicans that they would shoulder the blame. And while the public broadly supports making DACA permanent, as Democrats are insisting on in current talks, pollsters also found that the public \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/19/politics/cnn-poll-shutdown-trump-immigration-daca/index.html\">thought avoiding a shutdown was more important\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is shared outrage about how broken the whole system is, so it's possible that means neither side will feel much of a consequence from this debacle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other reasons, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First is the little room that exists for these public servants' public image to drop. Last week's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/17/578422668/heres-just-how-little-confidence-americans-have-in-political-institutions\">NPR-PBS NewsHour-Marist poll showed\u003c/a> that just 36 percent of Americans have trust in the Democratic Party and 29 percent in the Republican Party. The only institution with a lower level of trust is the Congress itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, many of the current players, save the president himself, were in Washington for the last shutdown in 2013. It was viewed as driven by conservative Republicans, chiefly Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. And you know what happened after that? In addition to Republicans winning control of the Senate and expanding their House majority, Cruz became a grassroots hero. He built a large army of supporters and donors who helped him launch a presidential campaign in 2016 that outlasted almost every other GOP candidate who took on Donald Trump. [contextly_sidebar id=\"56tkhyzDXMQOyIX1VQ29WVTFHkkmX4Sg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OK, lesson learned. Shut it down?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this era of tribal politics, the focus is often on firing up the party faithful, far more than trying to win over voters in the middle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have been taking heat from their base, and particularly from immigration activists, for not pushing the DACA issue to the brink in December when government funding was last extended. In the final hours before this shutdown, Democratic lawmakers — including some thinking about a presidential run against Trump in 2020 — held a rally with so-called dreamers on Capitol Hill and then went inside to vote against funding the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Republicans, the president's hard line on immigration appears to be spreading. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, often criticized as more concerned than anything with protecting that Senate majority, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/in-spending-fight-republicans-embrace-trumps-hard-line-stand-on-immigration/2018/01/19/9397be3a-fd3b-11e7-a46b-a3614530bd87_story.html\">has ratcheted up his tone recently\u003c/a>, as more in the party say Democrats are prioritizing people in the country illegally over American citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Republican base certainly doesn't want the president to give in and make a DACA deal with Democrats, there are signs that the Trump Administration may be worried about taking heat for a lasting shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before it took hold, Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said, \"We're going to manage the shutdown differently.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He briefed reporters Saturday on how operations such as the Environmental Protection Agency, mine safety, cyber security, trade negotiations and the government response to the flu outbreak were moving ahead with minimal disruption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Parks Service is also doing everything it can to avoid the images from the last shutdown of veterans locked out of the World War II memorial, or spoiled family vacations in Yosemite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may work, but that would only make this a more forgettable shutdown than we've seen in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's also different about this shutdown is that everything is more forgettable in the frenetic news cycle of the Trump era. We've already moved from arguments over the size of a nuclear button, to a false alarm about a nuclear attack on Hawaii; from #Oprah2020, to \"girthers\" questioning President Trump's height and weight. There's a porn star talking about an alleged affair with the chief executive, and the onward march of the #metoo movement. And that's just the first three weeks of 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month's worth of news feels like a full year. So by that measure, we've got about a decade to get through before the midterm elections — before any real political consequences could be felt from the shutdown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

And while the public broadly supports making DACA permanent, as Democrats are insisting on in current talks, pollsters also found that the public \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/19/politics/cnn-poll-shutdown-trump-immigration-daca/index.html\">thought avoiding a shutdown was more important\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is shared outrage about how broken the whole system is, so it's possible that means neither side will feel much of a consequence from this debacle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other reasons, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First is the little room that exists for these public servants' public image to drop. Last week's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/17/578422668/heres-just-how-little-confidence-americans-have-in-political-institutions\">NPR-PBS NewsHour-Marist poll showed\u003c/a> that just 36 percent of Americans have trust in the Democratic Party and 29 percent in the Republican Party. The only institution with a lower level of trust is the Congress itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, many of the current players, save the president himself, were in Washington for the last shutdown in 2013. It was viewed as driven by conservative Republicans, chiefly Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. And you know what happened after that? In addition to Republicans winning control of the Senate and expanding their House majority, Cruz became a grassroots hero. He built a large army of supporters and donors who helped him launch a presidential campaign in 2016 that outlasted almost every other GOP candidate who took on Donald Trump. \u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OK, lesson learned. Shut it down?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this era of tribal politics, the focus is often on firing up the party faithful, far more than trying to win over voters in the middle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have been taking heat from their base, and particularly from immigration activists, for not pushing the DACA issue to the brink in December when government funding was last extended. In the final hours before this shutdown, Democratic lawmakers — including some thinking about a presidential run against Trump in 2020 — held a rally with so-called dreamers on Capitol Hill and then went inside to vote against funding the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Republicans, the president's hard line on immigration appears to be spreading. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, often criticized as more concerned than anything with protecting that Senate majority, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/in-spending-fight-republicans-embrace-trumps-hard-line-stand-on-immigration/2018/01/19/9397be3a-fd3b-11e7-a46b-a3614530bd87_story.html\">has ratcheted up his tone recently\u003c/a>, as more in the party say Democrats are prioritizing people in the country illegally over American citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Republican base certainly doesn't want the president to give in and make a DACA deal with Democrats, there are signs that the Trump Administration may be worried about taking heat for a lasting shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before it took hold, Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said, \"We're going to manage the shutdown differently.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He briefed reporters Saturday on how operations such as the Environmental Protection Agency, mine safety, cyber security, trade negotiations and the government response to the flu outbreak were moving ahead with minimal disruption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Parks Service is also doing everything it can to avoid the images from the last shutdown of veterans locked out of the World War II memorial, or spoiled family vacations in Yosemite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may work, but that would only make this a more forgettable shutdown than we've seen in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's also different about this shutdown is that everything is more forgettable in the frenetic news cycle of the Trump era. We've already moved from arguments over the size of a nuclear button, to a false alarm about a nuclear attack on Hawaii; from #Oprah2020, to \"girthers\" questioning President Trump's height and weight. There's a porn star talking about an alleged affair with the chief executive, and the onward march of the #metoo movement.

"content": "\u003cp>It should be said that California’s resistance began before there was a resistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Gov. Jerry Brown \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/01/10/gov-browns-190-billion-state-budget/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">unveiled his last budget Wednesday\u003c/a>, it will bookended eight years of a progressive march to reduce greenhouse gases, expand health care, grant more rights to undocumented immigrants and raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Along the way, blue state voters have assented by passing temporary taxes on the rich—not once, but \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/trailguide/la-na-election-day-2016-proposition-55-income-tax-1478277671-htmlstory.html\">twice\u003c/a>. The top marginal income tax rate is now 13.3 percent, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/california/statements/2017/jul/11/travis-allen/mostly-true-californias-taxes-among-highest-nation/\">highest\u003c/a> state income tax rate in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In short, policies that are now labeled acts of resistance to President Donald Trump were alive and ascendant in California long before he won the White House. But the contrasts have become much more stark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of cutting taxes, the Democratic governor and his party’s legislative leaders have passed a gas tax to help pay for aging infrastructure. Instead of trying to shift government out of the healthcare marketplace, California is looking for a way to fund single-payer health care, including coverage for undocumented immigrants. Instead of criminalizing pot, the state is looking forward to collecting taxes on \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/pot-legal-california-will-get-thought-voted/\">marijuana\u003c/a> sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"N5345J6Czkq4yxEQjYyk1yZAxppZyYHc\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the months between now and the June deadline for a final budget, the governor and the Legislature will hammer out details. The focus this year: what to do with an expected surplus of $6.1 billion. Republicans say return it to California’s 40 million residents as a nice tax refund. The governor's priority is to fill up the state’s rainy day fund. Democratic legislators mostly want to spend it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a very different approach,” said Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, who chairs the Assembly Budget Committee. “Our focus, the people who we think need tax relief, are the working Californians who are making less than $25,000. That’s where we want to spend our money, making sure they have money to pay rent, to pay for food.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than giving out “huge corporate tax breaks and a huge tax break for the wealthiest in this country,” Ting has a long list of how he would like to spend that extra money, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Increase the state’s Earned Income Tax Credit, which puts money into the hands of the working poor\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Expand Medi-Cal health care for poorer Californians to cover all remaining uninsured residents, mostly undocumented immigrants\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Expand early education for 4-year-olds through preschool and transitional kindergarten programs\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Increase college aid\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Expand mental and social services to reduce the number of criminals who go on to re-offend\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>As supportive as Brown might be of these Democratic aspirations, his administration is urging legislative leaders to proceed with caution. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s tax structure is more vulnerable than ever to the stock market gains and losses of its wealthiest citizens, and the governor said California must prepare for the next economic downturn because a mild recession could wipe away at least $20 billion a year in revenues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-800x2629.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"2629\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11641531\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-800x2629.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-160x526.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-1020x3352.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-1180x3877.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-960x3155.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-240x789.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-375x1232.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-520x1709.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Brown also warns of uncertainty from Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are certain policies that are radical departures from the norm, and California will fight those, whether it’s immigration or offshore drilling,” Brown said. “We don’t know what will happen. I wouldn’t want to portray a California-Washington battle, although there are some key differences and we’ll espouse our values.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"QCFefAktUaMCZgjPoS28R9iZWtXzSfDL\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Brown was elected to a second stint as governor in November 2010, the state has climbed out of the recession and enjoyed economic prosperity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unemployment rate, which topped 12 percent, now stands at \u003ca href=\"http://www.edd.ca.gov/About_EDD/pdf/urate201712.pdf\">4.6 percent\u003c/a>. Since his return, California has added \u003ca href=\"http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/data/Top-Statistics.html\">2.4 million\u003c/a> jobs and hourly wages are up \u003ca href=\"http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/data/Top-Statistics.html\">$4.76 an hour\u003c/a>. The state, which carried a $25 billion deficit in his first year back, has enjoyed billion-dollar surpluses in recent years and the state now has a rainy day fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor’s proposed \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/budget/2018-19/#/Home\">$190 billion\u003c/a> budget is dominated by education (29 percent) and health care (32 percent) \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-state-budget-best-visualization-tool/\">spending\u003c/a>. Health care spending has been growing particularly fast since the state embraced the Affordable Care Act, best known as Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The act not only grew the marketplace for private health plans but allowed states to expand their Medicaid health insurance programs for the poor. Because California is among 30 states that expanded Medicaid, the federal government is paying at least 90 percent of the cost for newly eligible enrollees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has allowed California to draw billions in extra funding from the federal government to bolster Medi-Cal, the state’s version of the national Medicaid program. As a result, the number of people without health coverage in the state has dropped to a historic low: from \u003ca href=\"http://www.chcf.org/~/media/MEDIA%20LIBRARY%20Files/PDF/PDF%20C/PDF%20CaliforniaUninsuredDec2016.pdf\">17.6 percent in the 1980s\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhis/earlyrelease/insur201611.pdf\">7.6 percent in 2016\u003c/a>. Today, \u003ca href=\"http://www.chcf.org/publications/2013/05/medical-facts-figures\">one in three\u003c/a> Californians are covered by Medi-Cal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public schools too have greatly benefited since the recession, with much of the extra spending on schools going to improve teachers’ \u003ca href=\"https://www.ed-data.org/\">salaries\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, if the federal government doesn’t \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/tens-thousands-california-kids-lose-health-care/\">reauthorize\u003c/a> the Children’s Health Insurance Program for 1.3 million children, that could add more than $850 million in costs to the state over two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"6V0gO63cMEeSjKQhw0mxdejihSZ86928\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Worse, if Republicans in Washington slash Medicaid funding in 2018, the state could lose between $25 billion and $50 billion, said Chris Hoene, executive director of the California Budget & Policy Center, a progressive think tank in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is California could not afford the scale of the cuts the GOP has been proposing,” Hoene said. “That’s going to put state leaders in a position of deciding who gets state services and how do they fund that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other factors are straining the budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, pension costs for public workers continue to be one of the fastest-growing liabilities—driven by lower investment rate assumptions, higher health care costs and longer life spans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters, too, could turn on Brown and lawmakers. Early \u003ca href=\"https://www.igs.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/2017-21_gas_tax_repeal.pdf\">polling\u003c/a> suggests Republicans have a decent shot at repealing a gas tax hike that went into effect late last year. Brown said at a press conference Wednesday that he believes a repeal initiative could be defeated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature’s nonpartisan budget analyst is urging lawmakers not to commit to too many new spending programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As it crafts the 2018-19 budget and future budgets, we encourage the Legislature to consider all of the uncertainty faced by the budget in future years and continue its recent practice of building its reserve levels,” the analyst \u003ca href=\"http://lao.ca.gov/reports/2017/3718/fiscal-outlook-111517.pdf\">wrote\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the flipside, Republicans are calling for a tax refund, if not an outright repeal of state income taxes. They argue that California’s high taxes chase residents out of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This surplus is a direct result of Capitol Democrats overtaxing hard-working Californians,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AsmHarper/status/948969552100057088\">said\u003c/a> Assemblyman Matthew Harper, R-Huntington Beach. “Rather than expanding an ever-growing list of government programs, our leaders should figure out a way to return that money to the people who earned it in the first place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/f2acd022-56d6-48db-bc60-e21c12a1d261?src=embed\" title=\"California Tax Increases\" width=\"800\" height=\"700\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Vince Fong, R-Bakersfield, said he plans to introduce tax cuts aimed at helping families and small businesses stay in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we see all too often now, we are losing families and small businesses to neighboring states that have tax burdens much lower than California’s high-priced tax code,” Fong \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/vfong/status/948994635845611525\">said\u003c/a> on Twitter. “We have an opportunity to change that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown dismissed the refund idea, saying it would only prompt service cuts to public schools and universities later. “If you want to budget responsibly, you need big surpluses in years that are good,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there’s a growing sentiment that California may have to respond to recent changes in the federal tax plan, specifically to a $10,000 cap on state and local deductions that will hit millions of households.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"aePxEpQv8dWe5MbzcOOVpb8RJVDTcrwL\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the state \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/Letter-to-conferees-121117.pdf?x74105\">Finance Department\u003c/a>, the average deduction for state and local income taxes alone is nearly $16,000 per return, while state and local property taxes average less than $6,000 per return. Because a portion of those taxes will no longer be deductible, it acts as double taxation for California taxpayers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León, who is running for U.S. Senate, introduced legislation Thursday to shield Californians from bearing the costs of the tax overhaul. The \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB227\">bill\u003c/a>, dubbed Protect California Taxpayers Act, would allow taxpayers to make charitable deductions to the state and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on the full amount of their contribution. By having residents donate to the state government as a charitable contribution, the contribution remains deductible on federal taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Republican tax plan gives corporations and hedge-fund managers a trillion-dollar tax cut and expects California taxpayers to foot the bill,” de León said in announcing his legislation. “We won’t allow California residents to be the casualty of this disastrous tax scheme.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown was particularly vocal against the GOP tax proposal, calling it a “\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/trump_california/jerry-brown-urges-no-vote-tax-monstrosity/\">tax monstrosity\u003c/a>,” but the governor expressed reservations about whether the state could sidestep federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks interesting,” Brown said. “But two questions: Can it work? If it does work, can the Internal Revenue Service issue a regulation and completely subvert it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León responded that he was confident it would work because similar charitable deductions have already been given out for education-based contributions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, state Democrats are in agreement about a common threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it’s federal tax changes or entitlement cuts, the leader of the Assembly, Anthony Rendon, D-Paramount, said he’s most concerned Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration will take another swipe at liberal California in 2018. “We’re worried about the next shoe to drop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters is a nonpartisan, nonprofit media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/01/10/gov-browns-190-billion-state-budget/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">unveiled his last budget Wednesday\u003c/a>, it will bookended eight years of a progressive march to reduce greenhouse gases, expand health care, grant more rights to undocumented immigrants and raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Along the way, blue state voters have assented by passing temporary taxes on the rich—not once, but \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/trailguide/la-na-election-day-2016-proposition-55-income-tax-1478277671-htmlstory.html\">twice\u003c/a>. The top marginal income tax rate is now 13.3 percent, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/california/statements/2017/jul/11/travis-allen/mostly-true-californias-taxes-among-highest-nation/\">highest\u003c/a> state income tax rate in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In short, policies that are now labeled acts of resistance to President Donald Trump were alive and ascendant in California long before he won the White House. But the contrasts have become much more stark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of cutting taxes, the Democratic governor and his party’s legislative leaders have passed a gas tax to help pay for aging infrastructure. Instead of trying to shift government out of the healthcare marketplace, California is looking for a way to fund single-payer health care, including coverage for undocumented immigrants. Instead of criminalizing pot, the state is looking forward to collecting taxes on \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/pot-legal-california-will-get-thought-voted/\">marijuana\u003c/a> sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the months between now and the June deadline for a final budget, the governor and the Legislature will hammer out details. The focus this year: what to do with an expected surplus of $6.1 billion. Republicans say return it to California’s 40 million residents as a nice tax refund. The governor's priority is to fill up the state’s rainy day fund. Democratic legislators mostly want to spend it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That’s where we want to spend our money, making sure they have money to pay rent, to pay for food.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than giving out “huge corporate tax breaks and a huge tax break for the wealthiest in this country,” Ting has a long list of how he would like to spend that extra money, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Increase the state’s Earned Income Tax Credit, which puts money into the hands of the working poor\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Expand Medi-Cal health care for poorer Californians to cover all remaining uninsured residents, mostly undocumented immigrants\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Expand early education for 4-year-olds through preschool and transitional kindergarten programs\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Increase college aid\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Expand mental and social services to reduce the number of criminals who go on to re-offend\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>As supportive as Brown might be of these Democratic aspirations, his administration is urging legislative leaders to proceed with caution. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s tax structure is more vulnerable than ever to the stock market gains and losses of its wealthiest citizens, and the governor said California must prepare for the next economic downturn because a mild recession could wipe away at least $20 billion a year in revenues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-800x2629.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"2629\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11641531\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-800x2629.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-160x526.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-1020x3352.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-1180x3877.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-960x3155.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-240x789.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-375x1232.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/BudgetBreakdown-520x1709.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Brown also warns of uncertainty from Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are certain policies that are radical departures from the norm, and California will fight those, whether it’s immigration or offshore drilling,” Brown said. “We don’t know what will happen. I wouldn’t want to portray a California-Washington battle, although there are some key differences and we’ll espouse our values.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Brown was elected to a second stint as governor in November 2010, the state has climbed out of the recession and enjoyed economic prosperity. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unemployment rate, which topped 12 percent, now stands at \u003ca href=\"http://www.edd.ca.gov/About_EDD/pdf/urate201712.pdf\">4.6 percent\u003c/a>. Since his return, California has added \u003ca href=\"http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/data/Top-Statistics.html\">2.4 million\u003c/a> jobs and hourly wages are up \u003ca href=\"http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/data/Top-Statistics.html\">$4.76 an hour\u003c/a>. The state, which carried a $25 billion deficit in his first year back, has enjoyed billion-dollar surpluses in recent years and the state now has a rainy day fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor’s proposed \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/budget/2018-19/#/Home\">$190 billion\u003c/a> budget is dominated by education (29 percent) and health care (32 percent) \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-state-budget-best-visualization-tool/\">spending\u003c/a>. Health care spending has been growing particularly fast since the state embraced the Affordable Care Act, best known as Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The act not only grew the marketplace for private health plans but allowed states to expand their Medicaid health insurance programs for the poor. Because California is among 30 states that expanded Medicaid, the federal government is paying at least 90 percent of the cost for newly eligible enrollees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has allowed California to draw billions in extra funding from the federal government to bolster Medi-Cal, the state’s version of the national Medicaid program. As a result, the number of people without health coverage in the state has dropped to a historic low: from \u003ca href=\"http://www.chcf.org/~/media/MEDIA%20LIBRARY%20Files/PDF/PDF%20C/PDF%20CaliforniaUninsuredDec2016.pdf\">17.6 percent in the 1980s\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhis/earlyrelease/insur201611.pdf\">7.6 percent in 2016\u003c/a>. Today, \u003ca href=\"http://www.chcf.org/publications/2013/05/medical-facts-figures\">one in three\u003c/a> Californians are covered by Medi-Cal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public schools too have greatly benefited since the recession, with much of the extra spending on schools going to improve teachers’ \u003ca href=\"https://www.ed-data.org/\">salaries\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, if the federal government doesn’t \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/tens-thousands-california-kids-lose-health-care/\">reauthorize\u003c/a> the Children’s Health Insurance Program for 1.3 million children, that could add more than $850 million in costs to the state over two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Worse, if Republicans in Washington slash Medicaid funding in 2018, the state could lose between $25 billion and $50 billion, said Chris Hoene, executive director of the California Budget & Policy Center, a progressive think tank in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is California could not afford the scale of the cuts the GOP has been proposing,” Hoene said. “That’s going to put state leaders in a position of deciding who gets state services and how do they fund that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other factors are straining the budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, pension costs for public workers continue to be one of the fastest-growing liabilities—driven by lower investment rate assumptions, higher health care costs and longer life spans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters, too, could turn on Brown and lawmakers. Early \u003ca href=\"https://www.igs.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/2017-21_gas_tax_repeal.pdf\">polling\u003c/a> suggests Republicans have a decent shot at repealing a gas tax hike that went into effect late last year. Brown said at a press conference Wednesday that he believes a repeal initiative could be defeated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature’s nonpartisan budget analyst is urging lawmakers not to commit to too many new spending programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As it crafts the 2018-19 budget and future budgets, we encourage the Legislature to consider all of the uncertainty faced by the budget in future years and continue its recent practice of building its reserve levels,” the analyst \u003ca href=\"http://lao.ca.gov/reports/2017/3718/fiscal-outlook-111517.pdf\">wrote\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the flipside, Republicans are calling for a tax refund, if not an outright repeal of state income taxes. They argue that California’s high taxes chase residents out of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This surplus is a direct result of Capitol Democrats overtaxing hard-working Californians,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AsmHarper/status/948969552100057088\">said\u003c/a> Assemblyman Matthew Harper, R-Huntington Beach. “Rather than expanding an ever-growing list of government programs, our leaders should figure out a way to return that money to the people who earned it in the first place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/f2acd022-56d6-48db-bc60-e21c12a1d261?src=embed\" title=\"California Tax Increases\" width=\"800\" height=\"700\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Vince Fong, R-Bakersfield, said he plans to introduce tax cuts aimed at helping families and small businesses stay in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we see all too often now, we are losing families and small businesses to neighboring states that have tax burdens much lower than California’s high-priced tax code,” Fong \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/vfong/status/948994635845611525\">said\u003c/a> on Twitter. “We have an opportunity to change that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown dismissed the refund idea, saying it would only prompt service cuts to public schools and universities later. “If you want to budget responsibly, you need big surpluses in years that are good,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there’s a growing sentiment that California may have to respond to recent changes in the federal tax plan, specifically to a $10,000 cap on state and local deductions that will hit millions of households.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the state \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/Letter-to-conferees-121117.pdf?x74105\">Finance Department\u003c/a>, the average deduction for state and local income taxes alone is nearly $16,000 per return, while state and local property taxes average less than $6,000 per return. Because a portion of those taxes will no longer be deductible, it acts as double taxation for California taxpayers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León, who is running for U.S. Senate, introduced legislation Thursday to shield Californians from bearing the costs of the tax overhaul. The \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB227\">bill\u003c/a>, dubbed Protect California Taxpayers Act, would allow taxpayers to make charitable deductions to the state and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on the full amount of their contribution. By having residents donate to the state government as a charitable contribution, the contribution remains deductible on federal taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Republican tax plan gives corporations and hedge-fund managers a trillion-dollar tax cut and expects California taxpayers to foot the bill,” de León said in announcing his legislation. “We won’t allow California residents to be the casualty of this disastrous tax scheme.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown was particularly vocal against the GOP tax proposal, calling it a “\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/trump_california/jerry-brown-urges-no-vote-tax-monstrosity/\">tax monstrosity\u003c/a>,” but the governor expressed reservations about whether the state could sidestep federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks interesting,” Brown said. “But two questions: Can it work? If it does work, can the Internal Revenue Service issue a regulation and completely subvert it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De León responded that he was confident it would work because similar charitable deductions have already been given out for education-based contributions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, state Democrats are in agreement about a common threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it’s federal tax changes or entitlement cuts, the leader of the Assembly, Anthony Rendon, D-Paramount, said he’s most concerned Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration will take another swipe at liberal California in 2018. “We’re worried about the next shoe to drop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Per-pupil spending would grow by $4,600 for 2018-19, and the policy to send more money to school districts with high numbers of English learners and low-income kids would be fully implemented this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor is also proposing $4.6 billion in additional transportation funding from a massive transportation package passed last year.

That’s my number one proposition,” Brown said. “Can you tell me the legacy of Goodwin Knight or George Deukmejian?” he asked, notably leaving out his father, Pat Brown, whose legacy is widely believed to include building up the state’s universities and infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown’s budget proposal comes amid federal budget uncertainty.

Here, modesty is not good enough,” Mitchell said. “I would like to see more increases in SSI COLAs, and investments in human services, particularly as it relates to deep poverty and CalWORKs. In addition, the need that working parents have for child care is immense and more funding is essential.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans applauded Brown’s move to build up the state’s reserves. But Assembly Budget Committee Vice Chair Jay Obernolte (R-Hesperia) said the state should also use the budget surplus to pay down long-term debt liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We currently have over $200 billion in long-term liabilities. Paying that down now will reduce future state spending,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Republican Leader Brian Dahle (R-Bieber) reinforced the GOP’s philosophy that spending is far too high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a strange world where politicians are celebrating that the government took too much money from taxpayers, but that’s exactly what is happening with this budget surplus,” Dahle said in a statement. “My question is: When do California taxpayers get a break?”\u003c/p>\n\n",
