Jerry Brown took to the podium in the Capitol at 10 a.m. this morning to deliver his May Budget Revise for FY 2015-16. As usual, he surrounded himself with large charts illustrating the state’s fiscal picture current and historic. Compared to the January projections, revenues for FY 2013-14, FY 2014-15, and FY 2015-16 have increased and the state projects an additional $6.7 billion through the end of the coming fiscal year. Under Proposition 98, the majority of that money will go to K-12 and community colleges. The Governor presented the upswing in state revenues with caution, warning that the next recession is likely just around the corner. The revised budget comprises $115.03 billion of General Funding in a total budget of $162.5 billion. State Budget, Revenue and Taxation, Municipal Finance |
