The California State Association of Counties (CSAC) applauds Governor Brown for his 2016-17 State budget proposal which balances a variety of competing needs with fiscal responsibility to create budget stability for the state. In turn, this proposal provides greater stability for counties that remain responsible for delivery of numerous state programs and services.

“The Governor’s budget proposal recognizes that while revenue is up, there are still economic uncertainties and being prudent with the resources we have now is the key to long-term stability,” said CSAC Executive Director Matt Cate. “In the long run, stable funding remains essential to successfully develop and deliver the important programs and services we provide, including health care, behavioral health, public safety, transportation and more.”
