(Sacramento) - Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco), Chair of the Assembly Budget Committee, joined Governor Brown as he signed the 2018-2019 State Budget. The budget makes the right investments and reflects many of California’s values, yet there is still a sizable reserve set aside for unexpected emergencies. “In California, we are now the fifth largest economy in the world, and at the same time, we have the largest number of people in poverty and this Budget really tackles both of these issues," stated Ting.
