Sacramento, CA – Assemblyman Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) made the following statement after Governor Brown and legislative leaders announced a finalized 2015-16 budget:
I commend Speaker Atkins and Assembly Budget Chair Weber for their leadership in negotiating a budget with Governor Brown that practices fiscal restraint while making key investments in services that benefit working families, students, and the neediest among us.
I am particularly pleased to see the expansion of child care and preschool to nearly 14,000 additional children.
As a former executive director of Head Start programs, I saw the devastating cuts made during the Great Recession to licensed childcare providers. These reinvestments will ensure providers have the resources to serve kids during critical times for childhood development.
