5:52 pm
budget in line with our finances. he says legislative leaders are doing exactly that just hours before this interview, mcguire governor gavin newsom and assembly speaker robert remus announced an early budget action agreement to shrink the deficit by 17.3 billion dollars. just how they plan to do it. their proposal calls for 5.2 billion in borrowing. another 5.2 billion in funding delays and 3.6 billion in actual cuts including a 300 plus million dollar cut to some climate programs. a 500 million dollar cut to a program responsible for building school facilities. and a 700 plus million dollar cut to reduce administrative costs across state agencies. this urgent action is going to make the job of closing the remainder of the deficit, less daunting. tough but less daunting as we move into the june deadline. it's sort of like if you were looking at your household budget and you pay down some of your debt or, you know, paid off of a loan
5:53 pm
early that reduces your future obligations to pay that loan back. that's exactly what the state is trying to do. governor gavin newsom expressing optimism about the plan, calling it a balanced approach that meets the needs of californians and maintains a strong fiscal foundation for the state's future. but republicans say they believe it does not go far enough with cuts. they also are disappointed they were not included in any budget negotiations. that's frustrating to me. and i think it's unfortunate for the process and republican caucus represents 8 million californians. >> who are left out of the saw behind the scenes discussions to come up with solutions just scenes on democratic today. >> and the legislature is scheduled to vote on the early budget action deal next week. but important to note, this is just step one. lawmakers will once again have to meet and vote on the full budget for next fiscal year. no later than june. 15th reporting at the state capitol, a tonn wallets kron. 4 news.
