Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas and Assembly Committee on Budget Chair Jesse Gabriel issued the following statements on the California Legislative Analyst's Office fiscal outlook

SACRAMENTO — Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas and Assembly Committee on Budget Chair Jesse Gabriel issued the following statements on the California Legislative Analyst's Office fiscal outlook:

“Trump’s cuts and tariffs are squeezing California’s budget even harder. And the cautious LAO forecast is a reminder: Today’s revenue surge won’t last. We must invest limited dollars on sustainable, vital essentials — health care, food aid, housing, education. When Republican policies raise prices and fall short, Democrats will keep fighting for real affordability and lasting prosperity,” Speaker Robert Rivas said.

"Today's fiscal outlook underscores the challenging decisions ahead. While the Trump Administration continues to pursue destructive policies that will harm California families, the Assembly Budget Committee remains committed to crafting a responsible budget that prioritizes essential services, uplifts working families, and protects our most vulnerable communities," Budget Chair Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel said.
