SACRAMENTO, CA- Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel (D-Encino), Chair of the Assembly Budget Committee, released the following statement regarding the Legislative Analyst's Office's new fiscal outlook:

"The latest fiscal outlook underscores the need for a cautious, thoughtful, and prudent approach to our state budget. At the same time, we must be prepared for uncertainty and challenges with a new federal Administration. The Assembly Budget Committee looks forward to crafting a budget that protects core programs, prioritizes accountability, safeguards California values, and focuses on the most important issues facing working families."

Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas) also issued a statement:

"We need to show restraint with this year's budget, because California must be prepared for any challenges, including ones from Washington. It's not a moment for expanding programs, but for protecting and preserving services that truly benefit all Californians."
