CA politicians start lobbying for state budget surplus

By Take Two Staff
Published May 6, 2013
Gov. Jerry Brown discusses the cuts he has already made to help reduce the state's budget deficit from nearly $20 billion last year to a gap of about $9.2 billion as he unveiled his proposed $92.5 billion 2012-13 state budget at a Capitol news conference in Sacramento, Calif., Thursday, Jan. 5, 2012. California faces a smaller budget deficit in the coming fiscal year but will require nearly $5 billion in cuts to public education if voters reject Brown's plan to raise taxes in the fall.

CA politicians start lobbying for state budget surplus

Next week, Governor Jerry Brown is set to release a revised budget proposal for the state.

Currently California is on track to have a potential windfall of billions of dollars by the end of the fiscal year.

Democrats want to use that extra money to fund state programs that have had their budgets cut in recent years. However, the Brown administration isn't making any promises. 

Here to talk about the issue is John Myers. He's the political editor at ABC News 10 in Sacramento.
