It was a rare moment of optimism for the party faithful, coming four months after an election that dropped Republicans to just a third of the state Legislature and cost them a handful of congressional seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The party holds no statewide office and dropped to less than 30 percent of all registered voters in California last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we are going to be successful at winning elections, we have to get out of our comfort zone and stop only talking to the choir and going and talking to the people who don’t necessarily share our views, because if we share not only our head, but we share our heart, we will make converts,” Brulte told the delegates after his election.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he will focus on fundraising and remaking the party’s voter outreach and candidate recruitment. Of particular concern is reaching Latinos, the fastest-growing segment of the electorate and a demographic that has generally shunned the party as its political clout has grown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brulte, from the Los Angeles suburb of Rancho Cucamonga, also promised to help the party regain seats in the Legislature, saying Democrats controlling both houses and the governor’s office “is a recipe for disaster.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happens in California is important to Republicans nationally because the state has the largest share of electoral votes, at 55. It has not voted for a Republican nominee for president since George H.W. Bush in 1988, and GOP registration has been sliding since it hit 40 percent in 1992.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charles Munger Jr., the chairman of the Santa Clara County Republican Party who is among the party’s most generous donors, said he was confident that Brulte will lift the party from its dire condition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Brulte knows how to win elections, how to talk to activists, how to talk to people who care about business and how to bring in large contributors,” said Munger, the son of the Berkshire Hathaway vice chairman who has given millions of dollars to moderate candidates and political causes over the last few years. “He knows how to get everybody together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brulte has pegged the party’s debt in the hundreds of thousands of dollars but declined to specify a number during a news conference following his election Sunday. He said he has commitments of about $200,000 in contributions that he expects to receive within the next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one sign of an attempt to evolve with the times, the state party delegates also elected the first woman and first Sikh, Harmeet Dhillon, to serve as the party’s vice-chairwoman. Dhillon, of San Francisco, wants the party to use technology to modernize its registration and outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her candidacy drew unwanted attention to the party’s meeting after the president of the party’s San Bernardino County women’s group called Dhillon a “Taj Mahal princess” in an online post. That posting featured a photograph of an Islamic terrorist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been a lot of mudslinging in this campaign, frankly, and I think the more that we try to shun people and ostracize people because they may not agree with us 100 percent, that’s why we’re at 29.3 percent registration in this state,” Dhillon told a small gathering of conservatives Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The party faithful are banking on Brulte to restore their party’s luster and its finances, but wide divisions remain among members about whether the California GOP needs a total overhaul or a quick makeover. The party’s platform still includes opposition to abortion and gay marriage _ positions that are counter to the majority opinion, according to public opinion surveys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brulte appeared to be targeting the right areas for improvement and has “the benefit of extremely low expectations,” said Jack Pitney, a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College. Recent comments such as the smears against Dhillon, however, could detract from his efforts to remake the GOP’s image and connect with a new base of voters, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Above all, do no harm,: Pitney said. “His first challenge is to keep Republicans from saying stupid things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A roster of party officials took the stage Sunday to say that they do not believe the party needs to change any of its principles, just communicate better and with different people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to reaching minorities, national committeeman Shawn Steel said California Republicans should talk to single, divorced and widowed women whom the party hasn’t talked to “in decades.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The need to communicate with a wider audience also was the message on Saturday from Republican strategist Karl Rove, who told party activists they need to field more diverse candidates and reach out to non-white and female voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just the tactical things of a better turnout operation … we’ve got a strategic issue,” Rove told delegates and party activists. “We have great principles, but we sometimes talk about those principles in a way that makes it sound like it’s 1968, 1980 or 2000.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the party’s losses give the GOP an opportunity to re-evaluate everything from the ground up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writer Laura Olson contributed to this story.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Of particular concern is reaching Latinos, the fastest-growing segment of the electorate and a demographic that has generally shunned the party as its political clout has grown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brulte, from the Los Angeles suburb of Rancho Cucamonga, also promised to help the party regain seats in the Legislature, saying Democrats controlling both houses and the governor’s office “is a recipe for disaster.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happens in California is important to Republicans nationally because the state has the largest share of electoral votes, at 55. It has not voted for a Republican nominee for president since George H.W. Bush in 1988, and GOP registration has been sliding since it hit 40 percent in 1992.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charles Munger Jr., the chairman of the Santa Clara County Republican Party who is among the party’s most generous donors, said he was confident that Brulte will lift the party from its dire condition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Brulte knows how to win elections, how to talk to activists, how to talk to people who care about business and how to bring in large contributors,” said Munger, the son of the Berkshire Hathaway vice chairman who has given millions of dollars to moderate candidates and political causes over the last few years. “He knows how to get everybody together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brulte has pegged the party’s debt in the hundreds of thousands of dollars but declined to specify a number during a news conference following his election Sunday. He said he has commitments of about $200,000 in contributions that he expects to receive within the next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one sign of an attempt to evolve with the times, the state party delegates also elected the first woman and first Sikh, Harmeet Dhillon, to serve as the party’s vice-chairwoman. Dhillon, of San Francisco, wants the party to use technology to modernize its registration and outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her candidacy drew unwanted attention to the party’s meeting after the president of the party’s San Bernardino County women’s group called Dhillon a “Taj Mahal princess” in an online post. That posting featured a photograph of an Islamic terrorist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been a lot of mudslinging in this campaign, frankly, and I think the more that we try to shun people and ostracize people because they may not agree with us 100 percent, that’s why we’re at 29.3 percent registration in this state,” Dhillon told a small gathering of conservatives Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The party faithful are banking on Brulte to restore their party’s luster and its finances, but wide divisions remain among members about whether the California GOP needs a total overhaul or a quick makeover. The party’s platform still includes opposition to abortion and gay marriage _ positions that are counter to the majority opinion, according to public opinion surveys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brulte appeared to be targeting the right areas for improvement and has “the benefit of extremely low expectations,” said Jack Pitney, a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College. Recent comments such as the smears against Dhillon, however, could detract from his efforts to remake the GOP’s image and connect with a new base of voters, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Above all, do no harm,: Pitney said. “His first challenge is to keep Republicans from saying stupid things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A roster of party officials took the stage Sunday to say that they do not believe the party needs to change any of its principles, just communicate better and with different people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to reaching minorities, national committeeman Shawn Steel said California Republicans should talk to single, divorced and widowed women whom the party hasn’t talked to “in decades.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The need to communicate with a wider audience also was the message on Saturday from Republican strategist Karl Rove, who told party activists they need to field more diverse candidates and reach out to non-white and female voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just the tactical things of a better turnout operation … we’ve got a strategic issue,” Rove told delegates and party activists. “We have great principles, but we sometimes talk about those principles in a way that makes it sound like it’s 1968, 1980 or 2000.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the party’s losses give the GOP an opportunity to re-evaluate everything from the ground up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writer Laura Olson contributed to this story.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But so many military bases have closed in the state over last 30 years that the cuts will take a much smaller bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cuts won’t take effect right away, and the federal government will revisit the budget in October anyway, Levy pointed out on KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact Californians in general don’t suck as much from the federal teat as folks in other states, David Leonhardt, Washington D.C. bureau chief for the New York Times said on the program. “States on the coasts tend to be a little less reliant on the federal government than states in the South and in the Midwest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lenore Anderson, director of Californians for Safety and Justice, on the other hand, worried about the effects of the cuts on planning programs at law enforcement agencies. “Federal funding is an incredibly important source for innovation,” she said. “When you talk about eliminating that federal funding or significantly reducing it definitely has a direct impact on California communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She predicted layoffs at police department up and down the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, Gary Falle, associate vice president for federal governmental relations at the University of California, said the cuts could be devastating to programs like Pell Grants, which help students pay for education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Frank Gaffney, president and CEO of the Center for Security Policy, said the sequester would hollow out the U.S. military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked to reconcile these estimates with his relatively more reassuring view, Levy agreed that the cuts would certainly be painful for those directly effected, but said they just won’t deal a body blow to the state as a whole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sequester threat dates back to August 2011 when Democrats and Republicans were battling over the amount the federal government could legally borrow to pay its bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans didn’t want to raise the debt ceiling unless Democrats agreed to budget cuts. Democrats didn’t want to cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a compromise, Congress came up with a package of cuts that would go into effect if a bipartisan committee couldn’t come up with a better deal: $850 billion would be subtracted from the budgets of dozens of federal agencies over 10 years, and half of it would come out of the military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the committee failed to strike a deal, which could mean the axe blows begin falling on federal departments starting on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is the Obama Administration’s list of California cuts:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca title=\"View California Sequester Budget Cuts on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/127246361/California-Sequester-Budget-Cuts\">California Sequester Budget Cuts\u003c/a> by \u003ca title=\"View Lairdh's profile on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/Lairdh\">Lairdh\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://www.scribd.com/embeds/127246361/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-17vj1ey1buth49s95uyf\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Auerbach, a University of California Berkeley professor of economics and law. “So the committee would come up with an agreement. But the committee didn’t come up with an agreement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cuts were originally scheduled for Jan. 1, but the two sides agreed to push the deadline back to March 1 in hopes of working something out. They still haven’t reached a deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are still holding out for tax increases to make the cuts less severe, and Republicans are determined not to raise taxes, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/21/us/politics/gop-resisting-obama-on-tax-increase.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2\">the New York Times reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Auerbach is still betting that the two sides will reach a deal to avoid the cuts. “They were designed to be unpleasant and force and agreement, and I think they will do that,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if they don’t?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not a pretty picture. The economy is still sluggish, and less federal spending means it will take even longer to pick up speed, says Auerbach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be sure, some cuts may be necessary, he says. The government has been spending more than it takes in, and that’s not good for the economy in the long term. But the biggest increase has been in entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, and these are exempted from the sequestration cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I could design policy, I would put in place a variety of structural reforms to entitlement programs and phase them in over time,” Auerbach says. By “structural reforms” he means careful cuts, like for example raising the age when people become eligible for benefits, as opposed to suddenly trimming a percentage from everyone’s Social Security check. He’d also increase taxes over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he wouldn’t do any of that right away, because he thinks the economy is too weak right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levy agrees with estimates he’s seen that the cuts could trim about half a percentage point from the national gross national product, and thinks California would suffer that proportionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most respects, California would have a similar experience to the rest of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most immediate jolt would come if LaHood follows through on his threat to furlough air traffic controllers and shut down 100 air traffic control towers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National parks could shorten hours. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2013/02/19/172415025/how-the-sequester-could-affect-health-care\">Doctors \u003c/a>could lose 2 percent of their Medicare payments. Millions of dollars could evaporate from school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levy thinks the most serious effect would be the long-term consequence of reductions in research money from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, universities and other institutions and other programs that lead to future inventions — “the kind of things that support the venture capital economy in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could be our grandchildren who suffer the most.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Democrats didn’t want to cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a compromise, Congress came up with a package of cuts that would go into effect if a bipartisan committee couldn’t come up with a better deal: $850 billion would be subtracted from the budgets of dozens of federal agencies over 10 years, and half of it would come out of the military.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea is that Republicans would hate defense cuts and Democrats would hate non-defense cuts,” says Alan J. Auerbach, a University of California Berkeley professor of economics and law. “So the committee would come up with an agreement. But the committee didn’t come up with an agreement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cuts were originally scheduled for Jan. 1, but the two sides agreed to push the deadline back to March 1 in hopes of working something out. They still haven’t reached a deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are still holding out for tax increases to make the cuts less severe, and Republicans are determined not to raise taxes, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/21/us/politics/gop-resisting-obama-on-tax-increase.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2\">the New York Times reports\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Auerbach is still betting that the two sides will reach a deal to avoid the cuts. “They were designed to be unpleasant and force and agreement, and I think they will do that,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if they don’t?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not a pretty picture. The economy is still sluggish, and less federal spending means it will take even longer to pick up speed, says Auerbach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be sure, some cuts may be necessary, he says. The government has been spending more than it takes in, and that’s not good for the economy in the long term. But the biggest increase has been in entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, and these are exempted from the sequestration cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I could design policy, I would put in place a variety of structural reforms to entitlement programs and phase them in over time,” Auerbach says. By “structural reforms” he means careful cuts, like for example raising the age when people become eligible for benefits, as opposed to suddenly trimming a percentage from everyone’s Social Security check. He’d also increase taxes over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he wouldn’t do any of that right away, because he thinks the economy is too weak right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levy agrees with estimates he’s seen that the cuts could trim about half a percentage point from the national gross national product, and thinks California would suffer that proportionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most respects, California would have a similar experience to the rest of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most immediate jolt would come if LaHood follows through on his threat to furlough air traffic controllers and shut down 100 air traffic control towers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National parks could shorten hours. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2013/02/19/172415025/how-the-sequester-could-affect-health-care\">Doctors \u003c/a>could lose 2 percent of their Medicare payments. Millions of dollars could evaporate from school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levy thinks the most serious effect would be the long-term consequence of reductions in research money from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, universities and other institutions and other programs that lead to future inventions — “the kind of things that support the venture capital economy in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could be our grandchildren who suffer the most.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Californians had a per capita income of $43,919, while Texans made $39,536, using the foundation’s figures. After paying our higher taxes, Californians were left with $38,984 while Texans had $36,331. (These per capita income figures differ from those of the U.S. Census Bureau, but the general ratio is the same.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which state looks better by income may depend on whether you’re an employer or an employee.

After paying our higher taxes, Californians were left with $38,984 while Texans had $36,331. (These per capita income figures differ from those of the U.S. Census Bureau, but the general ratio is the same.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which state looks better by income may depend on whether you’re an employer or an employee.

He pushed an austerity message that forced cuts throughout state government during his first two years in office while persuading California voters to approve increases to the state sales tax and on income taxes on high-income earners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the new revenue flowing in, Brown has warned his Democratic colleagues who control both houses of the state Legislature that they must not overplay their hand and spend too freely. The governor wants to build a reserve fund for future downturns to help smooth the type of boom-and-bust budget cycles that have become chronic in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I'm determined to avoid the fiscal mess that the last few governors had to deal with,\" Brown said. \"The way you avoid it is by holding the line, by exercising a common sense approach to how we spend our money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His budget contains an $850 million surplus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown wants to focus the additional spending on public schools. His budget includes $2.7 billion more for K-12 education, which will account for 57 percent of general fund spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Brown's priorities is creating a new education funding formula. It would be aimed at giving school districts more control over spending and directing state money to the neediest children and poorest districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His proposal is expected to run into opposition from lawmakers representing more affluent regions of the state, but Brown said the state should spend proportionally more on students who have \"disproportionate challenges.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Growing up in Compton or Richmond is not like it is to grow up in Los Gatos or Beverly Hills or Piedmont,\" he said of his redistribution plan. \"It is controversial, but it is right and it's fair.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spending cuts are still expected in some areas, such as the courts, while health care programs and social services are expected to see no increases in spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's two four-year higher education systems, the University of California and California State University, each will receive $250 million more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's general fund spending hit a high of $103 billion before the recession decimated the state's economy and severely cut tax revenue for the state and municipalities. It dropped to a low of $87 billion during the 2011-12 fiscal year, requiring lawmakers to make deep cuts in a wide array of state services, including K-12 schools, higher education, the court system, and social services for the needy and disabled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's environmental editors Paul Rogers and Andrea Kissack had this report about \u003ca name=\"the%20budget's%20environmental%20provisions\">\u003c/a>the budget's environment provisions\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Environmentalist's are welcoming the Governor's budget news today\u003cstrong>. \u003c/strong> It’s the first time in four years that a Governor has not proposed closing parks to save money. Instead, the state will hire 65 people to do fire prevention work paid for by a fire fee on rural landowners. A lumber tax will pay for more staff to do inspections on logging operations and their impact on streams. Also, the budget proposal provides funding for Salton Sea restoration. On the flip side, revenue from the state's first carbon credit auction could be less than expected, possibly because the initial price was low.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_22349299/environment-brown-administrations-budget-calls-more-money-and?source=pkg\" target=\"_blank\">More from Paul Rogers in the Mercury News\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>KQED's Charla Bear and Tyche Hendricks had this report on \u003ca name=\"education%20provisions\">\u003c/a>the budget's education provisions:\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The proposed budget would boost K-12 education by an additional $2.7 billion dollars. It would give public universities a modest increase, though less than they requested. Brown insisted that the University of California and California State University systems figure out how to do more with less, putting an emphasis more on educating undergraduates than on other priorities such as research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California educators are relieved that for the first time in years the governor's proposed budget would increase school funding. \"Overall, I think it's good news for schools,” said Mary Shelton,l superintendent of San Ramon Valley Unified School District. “It looks like we should be able to maintain some stability and perhaps begin to restore some programs that might have been cut.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelton says San Ramon and other wealthy suburban districts will likely get a smaller increase, though. That's because the governor's budget would give a larger share to districts with more low-income students and English Language Learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spending more on education for poor children and English learners will benefit all Californians in the long run, Brown said, even wealthy suburbanites whose schools might get less of an increase, because those people, in their old age, will depend on a skilled workforce paying taxes and taking care of the state’s growing elderly population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To direct more money to disadvantaged groups, the governor would eliminate most of the state's so-called \"categorical\" funding requirements -- pots of money targeted to specific programs. That would also give local school districts greater flexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Freitas of the California Federation of Teachers says he's not sure that's such a good idea. \"We do believe in some local control, but we also believe the state does provide some checks on the locals in terms of requiring certain programs for these students of need.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislature still has to approve the plan. It will likely begin hearings on the budget next week.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"quotes\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quotes from Brown's press conference:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What are we going to do with the money we have? We have achieved the position we’re in because of tough cuts that Democrats didn’t like to make, but they did. And then the people voted for taxes. By the way the cuts are about 3 times more than the taxes. But it’s entirely significant that we broke the logjam by going to the people. Because we do still have government by the people as well as for the people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m determined to avoid the fiscal mess that the last few governors didn’t deal with. The way you avoid it is by holding the line, by exercising a common sense approach to how we spend out money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not just the money that’s going in, but it’s going in under new conditions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On equality:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In America the fruits of our prosperity each year have each year been disproportionately channeled to capital and away from labor. And this is causing this tremendous growth in inequality… You’ve got the middle class hollowed out. The people at the bottom are struggling. .. There will be lots of bills as to how to deal with that. We’re spending more than any other state, and that’s good, and I support that. But we have to live within the means we have. Otherwise we get into that situation where we have red ink… I want to avoid the boom and the bust, the borrow and the spend…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fiscal discipline is not the enemy of democratic governance, but rather its fundamental predicate. Fiscal discipline and balance allows us to take care of the needs of the people over time, instead of just having a momentary rash of excitement, and then we pay with a hangover several years later.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On schools:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re not just investing in our schools, we’re doing it in the context of encouraging local control. We want to put the decisions closer to the classroom ... Let the problems be solved closest to where they exist. Those institutions that have the most direct contact...should have the greatest authority. So the teacher in the classroom obviously has the maximum authority, then the principal, then the superintendent, then the school board, the state school board, the state superintendent, the governor and the legislature. But as you go up the line you lose control and you build bureaucracy... [The way ] we create greater control is we eliminate most of the categorical programs because they are built on bureaucracy on auditing on non-teachers being increasingly hired to manage the various complicated flows of money. Now, that’s local control.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On healthcare:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are committed to expanding Medi-Cal, we’re committed to bringing more people into the healthcare system, but we recognize there are big costs out there. There are big unknowns so we’re going to move carefully, but we’re going to move with commitment, because I believe people do need decent healthcare, and I believe what Pres. Obama did was historic. It was heroic, and I’m going to do everything I can to be a good partner to make sure his plan works.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> On prisons:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The cost of medical care in California [prisons] is three times the cost of medical care at prisons around the country. It’s clear to me and it’s clear to our experts that we are providing more than the constitution requires. Because of that we are taking money from some place else… drug treatment, re-entry programs… So the courts, paradoxically, by protecting the right to an ever-expanding healthcare are taking money that could go, and would go… to returning prisoners to society… We’ll put that money into improving the situation for our prisoners so they can learn more and deal with their substance abuse problems…\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

He pushed an austerity message that forced cuts throughout state government during his first two years in office while persuading California voters to approve increases to the state sales tax and on income taxes on high-income earners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the new revenue flowing in, Brown has warned his Democratic colleagues who control both houses of the state Legislature that they must not overplay their hand and spend too freely. The governor wants to build a reserve fund for future downturns to help smooth the type of boom-and-bust budget cycles that have become chronic in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I'm determined to avoid the fiscal mess that the last few governors had to deal with,\" Brown said. \"The way you avoid it is by holding the line, by exercising a common sense approach to how we spend our money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His budget contains an $850 million surplus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown wants to focus the additional spending on public schools. His budget includes $2.7 billion more for K-12 education, which will account for 57 percent of general fund spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Brown's priorities is creating a new education funding formula. It would be aimed at giving school districts more control over spending and directing state money to the neediest children and poorest districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His proposal is expected to run into opposition from lawmakers representing more affluent regions of the state, but Brown said the state should spend proportionally more on students who have \"disproportionate challenges.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Growing up in Compton or Richmond is not like it is to grow up in Los Gatos or Beverly Hills or Piedmont,\" he said of his redistribution plan. \"It is controversial, but it is right and it's fair.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spending cuts are still expected in some areas, such as the courts, while health care programs and social services are expected to see no increases in spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's two four-year higher education systems, the University of California and California State University, each will receive $250 million more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's general fund spending hit a high of $103 billion before the recession decimated the state's economy and severely cut tax revenue for the state and municipalities. It dropped to a low of $87 billion during the 2011-12 fiscal year, requiring lawmakers to make deep cuts in a wide array of state services, including K-12 schools, higher education, the court system, and social services for the needy and disabled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's environmental editors Paul Rogers and Andrea Kissack had this report about \u003ca name=\"the%20budget's%20environmental%20provisions\">\u003c/a>the budget's environment provisions\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Environmentalist's are welcoming the Governor's budget news today\u003cstrong>. \u003c/strong> It’s the first time in four years that a Governor has not proposed closing parks to save money. Instead, the state will hire 65 people to do fire prevention work paid for by a fire fee on rural landowners. A lumber tax will pay for more staff to do inspections on logging operations and their impact on streams. Also, the budget proposal provides funding for Salton Sea restoration. On the flip side, revenue from the state's first carbon credit auction could be less than expected, possibly because the initial price was low.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_22349299/environment-brown-administrations-budget-calls-more-money-and?source=pkg\" target=\"_blank\">More from Paul Rogers in the Mercury News\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>KQED's Charla Bear and Tyche Hendricks had this report on \u003ca name=\"education%20provisions\">\u003c/a>the budget's education provisions:\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The proposed budget would boost K-12 education by an additional $2.7 billion dollars. It would give public universities a modest increase, though less than they requested. Brown insisted that the University of California and California State University systems figure out how to do more with less, putting an emphasis more on educating undergraduates than on other priorities such as research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California educators are relieved that for the first time in years the governor's proposed budget would increase school funding. \"Overall, I think it's good news for schools,” said Mary Shelton,l superintendent of San Ramon Valley Unified School District. “It looks like we should be able to maintain some stability and perhaps begin to restore some programs that might have been cut.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelton says San Ramon and other wealthy suburban districts will likely get a smaller increase, though. That's because the governor's budget would give a larger share to districts with more low-income students and English Language Learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spending more on education for poor children and English learners will benefit all Californians in the long run, Brown said, even wealthy suburbanites whose schools might get less of an increase, because those people, in their old age, will depend on a skilled workforce paying taxes and taking care of the state’s growing elderly population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To direct more money to disadvantaged groups, the governor would eliminate most of the state's so-called \"categorical\" funding requirements -- pots of money targeted to specific programs. That would also give local school districts greater flexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Freitas of the California Federation of Teachers says he's not sure that's such a good idea. \"We do believe in some local control, but we also believe the state does provide some checks on the locals in terms of requiring certain programs for these students of need.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislature still has to approve the plan. It will likely begin hearings on the budget next week.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"quotes\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Quotes from Brown's press conference:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What are we going to do with the money we have? We have achieved the position we’re in because of tough cuts that Democrats didn’t like to make, but they did. And then the people voted for taxes. By the way the cuts are about 3 times more than the taxes. But it’s entirely significant that we broke the logjam by going to the people. Because we do still have government by the people as well as for the people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m determined to avoid the fiscal mess that the last few governors didn’t deal with. The way you avoid it is by holding the line, by exercising a common sense approach to how we spend out money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not just the money that’s going in, but it’s going in under new conditions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On equality:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In America the fruits of our prosperity each year have each year been disproportionately channeled to capital and away from labor. And this is causing this tremendous growth in inequality… You’ve got the middle class hollowed out. The people at the bottom are struggling. .. There will be lots of bills as to how to deal with that. We’re spending more than any other state, and that’s good, and I support that. But we have to live within the means we have. Otherwise we get into that situation where we have red ink… I want to avoid the boom and the bust, the borrow and the spend…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fiscal discipline is not the enemy of democratic governance, but rather its fundamental predicate. Fiscal discipline and balance allows us to take care of the needs of the people over time, instead of just having a momentary rash of excitement, and then we pay with a hangover several years later.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On schools:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re not just investing in our schools, we’re doing it in the context of encouraging local control. We want to put the decisions closer to the classroom ... Let the problems be solved closest to where they exist. Those institutions that have the most direct contact...should have the greatest authority. So the teacher in the classroom obviously has the maximum authority, then the principal, then the superintendent, then the school board, the state school board, the state superintendent, the governor and the legislature. But as you go up the line you lose control and you build bureaucracy... [The way ] we create greater control is we eliminate most of the categorical programs because they are built on bureaucracy on auditing on non-teachers being increasingly hired to manage the various complicated flows of money. Now, that’s local control.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On healthcare:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are committed to expanding Medi-Cal, we’re committed to bringing more people into the healthcare system, but we recognize there are big costs out there. There are big unknowns so we’re going to move carefully, but we’re going to move with commitment, because I believe people do need decent healthcare, and I believe what Pres. Obama did was historic. It was heroic, and I’m going to do everything I can to be a good partner to make sure his plan works.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> On prisons:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The cost of medical care in California [prisons] is three times the cost of medical care at prisons around the country. It’s clear to me and it’s clear to our experts that we are providing more than the constitution requires. Because of that we are taking money from some place else… drug treatment, re-entry programs… So the courts, paradoxically, by protecting the right to an ever-expanding healthcare are taking money that could go, and would go… to returning prisoners to society… We’ll put that money into improving the situation for our prisoners so they can learn more and deal with their substance abuse problems…\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The increased revenues are only about 20 percent of what’s needed to reduce the U.S. debt to sustainable levels, said Wessel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the deal only delayed the spending cuts for another two months, with no agreement about how they might be sorted out, Wessel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For California, that poses big problems, said Nickelsburg. “First of all, I think it’s important to realize there is still a fiscal cliff there,” he said. “The spending cuts were just pushed down the road. There is still a lot of uncertainty going forward. And people are going to postpone decisions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Postponing decisions can mean delaying investments the economy needs to move forward he said. “What we’re seeing is that California’s economic growth is slowing. We saw that in the last couple of months. We expect that this year. Heretofore, in the economic recovery we have been growing faster than the U.S. But we don’t expect that to continue in the coming months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news wasn’t all bad. The deal extended unemployment benefits which should benefit 400,000 Californians, according to the Associated Press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In California we have an unemployment rate that is about 2 percentage points higher than the rest of the United States, so it’s relatively more important to Californians that those go through,” said Nicklesburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, California has already raised taxes on high earners, and Nickelsburg warned that there may be limits to how much the rich can be soaked. “With Prop[osition] 30 we raised our income tax rates on the highest earners to the highest in the nation. You add those to the new [federal income tax] rates that were just passed with this deal and you have over 50% of income earned by high income earners in California paid out in taxes. Well, is that the tipping point where you have new job creation occurring elsewhere because the tax burden is too high? It remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the past increases in taxes on high-income earners have had a marginal effect but not a huge effect because of the benefits of living here in California and the very dynamic knowledge communities that we have here. But that advantage may be dissipating, particularly if the problems continue and the high tax rates continue relative to elsewhere for a very long period of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is there any hope? If tempers in Washington cool and Democrats find common grounds with Republicans — after all everyone agrees the tax code needs fixing –then California could be headed for happier days in 2014, Nickelsburg said. “If that were to take place then I think the outlook for California is quite bright.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The increased revenues are only about 20 percent of what’s needed to reduce the U.S. debt to sustainable levels, said Wessel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the deal only delayed the spending cuts for another two months, with no agreement about how they might be sorted out, Wessel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For California, that poses big problems, said Nickelsburg. “First of all, I think it’s important to realize there is still a fiscal cliff there,” he said. “The spending cuts were just pushed down the road. There is still a lot of uncertainty going forward. And people are going to postpone decisions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Postponing decisions can mean delaying investments the economy needs to move forward he said. “What we’re seeing is that California’s economic growth is slowing. We saw that in the last couple of months. We expect that this year. Heretofore, in the economic recovery we have been growing faster than the U.S. But we don’t expect that to continue in the coming months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news wasn’t all bad. The deal extended unemployment benefits which should benefit 400,000 Californians, according to the Associated Press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In California we have an unemployment rate that is about 2 percentage points higher than the rest of the United States, so it’s relatively more important to Californians that those go through,” said Nicklesburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, California has already raised taxes on high earners, and Nickelsburg warned that there may be limits to how much the rich can be soaked. “With Prop[osition] 30 we raised our income tax rates on the highest earners to the highest in the nation. You add those to the new [federal income tax] rates that were just passed with this deal and you have over 50% of income earned by high income earners in California paid out in taxes. Well, is that the tipping point where you have new job creation occurring elsewhere because the tax burden is too high? It remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the past increases in taxes on high-income earners have had a marginal effect but not a huge effect because of the benefits of living here in California and the very dynamic knowledge communities that we have here. But that advantage may be dissipating, particularly if the problems continue and the high tax rates continue relative to elsewhere for a very long period of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is there any hope? If tempers in Washington cool and Democrats find common grounds with Republicans — after all everyone agrees the tax code needs fixing –then California could be headed for happier days in 2014, Nickelsburg said. “If that were to take place then I think the outlook for California is quite bright.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
