Kelley Councilmember, District 5 City of San Bernardino San Bernardino, CA 92418-0001 Dear Councilmember Kelley: As your local state assemblymember, I'd like to bring you up to date on the California Jobs Budget, which is now being introduced in the state legislature. As you are well aware of, California is again facing a huge deficit: a $17.9 billion general fund shortfall. The Governor unveiled his state budget May Revise that eliminates over 430,000 private sector, school and local government jobs. While local governments throughout the state have shed over 20,000 jobs including public safety positions, the Governor did not address any relief for these community jobs. Moreover, within the May Revise the Governor's local government proposal calls for the suspension and deferment of certain mandate payments to save $200 million. The California Jobs Budget, recently introduced by Assembly Speaker John A. Perez, takes a radically different approach toward resolving the state's budget deficit. The entire focus is about creating and saving jobs and closing the deficit. This budget proposal includes a $10.1 billion jobs and economic stability fund that will protect against the loss of the 430,000 jobs that are earmarked for extinction in the Governor's May plan. And the California Jobs Budget protects thousands of local police, fire and other local jobs by repaying $900 million owed to local governments for past mandates_ This provides you with $900 million in discretionary funds to assist your budget challenges and avoid layoffs for critical public service jobs_ About $3.8 billion would be repaid to local school districts. This protects tens of thousands of jobs for teachers, aides and counselors which is good for your local community and the local business community. I'm asking two things of you: First, I'd like you to visit the California Jobs Budget website at: admdc.orgfissueslbudget and let me know what questions you have. Second, the California Jobs Budget is good for the local community and I'd like to get your support as we move forward legislatively with our proposal. .~" Printed on Recycled Paper 2010-240 Budget is good for the local community and I'd like to get your support as we move forward legislatively with our proposal. The plan gets us through an extremely challenging financial period in our state's history. It also allows us to move forward on our economic recovery through the focus onjobs. If you need any further information on the California Jobs Budget, please call Jennifer Israel of my office at (916) 319-2062.
