July 15, 2008 -- Counties recognize that the state's dramatic budget crisis will require difficult choices. We know that there are no easy answers. However, we also believe that it is in the best interest of all Californians to resolve the budget dilemma in a responsible and straightforward manner.
Suspension of Proposition 1A and/or Proposition 42 does nothing to resolve the state's budget problem and undermines any effort to restore the state to fiscal stability in the future, or even next year. It is an untenable solution that only pushes the state's fiscal problem into future years and further exacerbates the chronic structural deficit.
