this message clear, our sacrifices getting need to be made this year. you're right. yes, absolutely. we are going to have to make sacrifices. that was senate president pro tempore mike mcguire just a week and a half ago as he spoke about his plan to shrink the budget deficit by 12 to 18 billion dollars. he said his democratic colleagues in the state senate are on board with the plan calling for early budget action, which in a nutshell allows the legislature to reduce the size of the current fiscal year's budget. the idea is that in turn reduce the size of next year's budget set to go into effect this summer, early action means that we can bring this deficit to a more manageable level while details of the plan from senate democrats have not yet been released publicly. there have been concerns from democratic leaders in the other chamber, the state assembly that the plan from senate democrats on the governor could include cuts for homeless and housing programs. that's why some democrats say they been circulating their own plan making clear they will not support an early action proposal that cuts funding for
