Now, four years later, a $27 billion deficit has become a surplus and our credit rating and public confidence are rising. State budgets are not only balanced but they are on time and free of the rancor of past years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I said that I would work with both Democrats and Republicans, oil companies and environmentalists, unions and business, and I have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I pledged that there would be no smoke and mirrors in the budget, and there aren’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I promised that there would be no new taxes unless you the people voted for them, and you did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also said that we would return decisions and authority to local government and schools, and we have -- through Prison Realignment and the Local Control Spending Formula for schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal was to get California working again -- both its government and its overall economy, and that is happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For our schools, where once there were thousands of layoffs and widespread elimination of arts and science programs, there is now local control, new hiring and restoration of programs -- $10 billion in additional funds this year alone. As for health care, millions of Californians will now either be covered for the first time or enjoy more affordable and better plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Congress failing to reform immigration laws, California acted on its own, passing the Dream Act, making drivers’ licenses available and protecting immigrants from employer retaliation or being deported for minor offenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the recession, California created a million new jobs, raised the minimum wage, and reformed workers compensation to increase benefits and cut costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After more than a fivefold increase in the prison population, California has now embraced a series of major reforms that place responsibility and funding for lower level offenders with local governments. As a result, the prison population is down dramatically and significant funding is going to treatment and rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, of course, there is much more to do. The many laws that have been passed need oversight and wise administration. Despite the passage of solid pension reform, our pension and retiree health care plans remain underfunded. And California still faces huge liabilities in the form of long deferred maintenance of our roads and public buildings. In short, the current budget surplus, if it is to endure, requires vigilance and a resolute will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this stage of my life, I can say -- without any hesitation -- that I am prepared and excited to tackle these challenges and the many others that lay before us. In fact, there is nothing I would rather do. So today, I have taken out the papers to run for re-election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you had asked me 40 years ago -- when I first ran for governor--what I would be doing in 2014, I could never have guessed. Nor could anyone else. Yet, by the grace of God and habits of perseverance instilled in me by my family, the Dominican nuns and the Jesuits, I am here and ready to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We live in unprecedented times. The tasks ahead are not simple or mundane. The climate itself is changing, threatening catastrophic and irreversible damage to the oceans and natural systems on which human beings and other forms of life depend. In many respects, California is leading the way and we will continue to do so by encouraging many kinds of innovation and by joining with other states and nations. But this is a global problem and only by acting both locally and globally do we have any chance of reducing the unrelenting increase of heat-trapping gasses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is now formally committed to obtaining at least one third of its electricity from renewable sources. We are also building the nation’s only high speed rail system and linking it closely with improved local and regional rails systems. Finally, California is strongly encouraging electric and other low emission vehicles, along with better land use to get people and jobs closer together. In all these endeavors, my goal is to decrease the use of fossil fuels while fostering vibrant communities and a sustainable environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current drought is a portent of weather to come. It should awaken us to the actions we need to take this year and in the years to follow. Water is more than a resource. It is a vital and fundamental element of our wellbeing. In the next few years, we need to make solid progress in managing our water both above and below the ground. I pledge my full commitment to bringing all the disparate parties together and working to achieve sensible, scientific and sustainable water policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is known for its brilliant innovation and Nobel Prizes. Yet, millions of our families are struggling and too many men and women cannot find work or the living wages they deserve. My policy is to encourage both new jobs and to protect workers’ rights and environmental values. Balance here is key but what constitutes balance is contested on all sides. I won’t make everyone happy every time but I will listen and I will seek to find the best and fairest way forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve lived here my whole life. I love this state and will do my utmost to enable California to keep faith with its past and pave the way for a future as bold as our forebears would expect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Respectfully,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jerry Brown\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Veteran Democrat cites fiscal accomplishments as he confirms campaign for historic fourth term.

Now, four years later, a $27 billion deficit has become a surplus and our credit rating and public confidence are rising. State budgets are not only balanced but they are on time and free of the rancor of past years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I said that I would work with both Democrats and Republicans, oil companies and environmentalists, unions and business, and I have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I pledged that there would be no smoke and mirrors in the budget, and there aren’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I promised that there would be no new taxes unless you the people voted for them, and you did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also said that we would return decisions and authority to local government and schools, and we have -- through Prison Realignment and the Local Control Spending Formula for schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal was to get California working again -- both its government and its overall economy, and that is happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For our schools, where once there were thousands of layoffs and widespread elimination of arts and science programs, there is now local control, new hiring and restoration of programs -- $10 billion in additional funds this year alone. As for health care, millions of Californians will now either be covered for the first time or enjoy more affordable and better plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Congress failing to reform immigration laws, California acted on its own, passing the Dream Act, making drivers’ licenses available and protecting immigrants from employer retaliation or being deported for minor offenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the recession, California created a million new jobs, raised the minimum wage, and reformed workers compensation to increase benefits and cut costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After more than a fivefold increase in the prison population, California has now embraced a series of major reforms that place responsibility and funding for lower level offenders with local governments. As a result, the prison population is down dramatically and significant funding is going to treatment and rehabilitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, of course, there is much more to do. The many laws that have been passed need oversight and wise administration. Despite the passage of solid pension reform, our pension and retiree health care plans remain underfunded. And California still faces huge liabilities in the form of long deferred maintenance of our roads and public buildings. In short, the current budget surplus, if it is to endure, requires vigilance and a resolute will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this stage of my life, I can say -- without any hesitation -- that I am prepared and excited to tackle these challenges and the many others that lay before us. In fact, there is nothing I would rather do. So today, I have taken out the papers to run for re-election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you had asked me 40 years ago -- when I first ran for governor--what I would be doing in 2014, I could never have guessed. Nor could anyone else. Yet, by the grace of God and habits of perseverance instilled in me by my family, the Dominican nuns and the Jesuits, I am here and ready to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We live in unprecedented times. The tasks ahead are not simple or mundane. The climate itself is changing, threatening catastrophic and irreversible damage to the oceans and natural systems on which human beings and other forms of life depend. In many respects, California is leading the way and we will continue to do so by encouraging many kinds of innovation and by joining with other states and nations. But this is a global problem and only by acting both locally and globally do we have any chance of reducing the unrelenting increase of heat-trapping gasses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is now formally committed to obtaining at least one third of its electricity from renewable sources. We are also building the nation’s only high speed rail system and linking it closely with improved local and regional rails systems. Finally, California is strongly encouraging electric and other low emission vehicles, along with better land use to get people and jobs closer together. In all these endeavors, my goal is to decrease the use of fossil fuels while fostering vibrant communities and a sustainable environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current drought is a portent of weather to come. It should awaken us to the actions we need to take this year and in the years to follow. Water is more than a resource. It is a vital and fundamental element of our wellbeing. In the next few years, we need to make solid progress in managing our water both above and below the ground. I pledge my full commitment to bringing all the disparate parties together and working to achieve sensible, scientific and sustainable water policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is known for its brilliant innovation and Nobel Prizes. Yet, millions of our families are struggling and too many men and women cannot find work or the living wages they deserve. My policy is to encourage both new jobs and to protect workers’ rights and environmental values. Balance here is key but what constitutes balance is contested on all sides. I won’t make everyone happy every time but I will listen and I will seek to find the best and fairest way forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve lived here my whole life. I love this state and will do my utmost to enable California to keep faith with its past and pave the way for a future as bold as our forebears would expect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Respectfully,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jerry Brown\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/127941/excited-jerry-brown-announces-hell-run-again-for-governor","authors":["104"],"programs":["news_6944"],"tags":["news_152","news_2601","news_30","news_71"],"featImg":"news_121939","label":"news_6944"},"news_126217":{"type":"posts","id":"news_126217","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"126217","score":null,"sort":[1392309009000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"state-legislative-analyst-thumbs-down-on-governors-plan-to-freeze-tuition","title":"State Legislative Analyst: Thumbs Down on Governor's Plan to Freeze Tuition","publishDate":1392309009,"format":"aside","headTitle":"News Fix | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":6944,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57473\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 259px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/02/24/despite-diversity-efforts-uc-minority-enrollment-down-since-prop-209/ucalberkeley/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-57473\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-57473 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/02/ucalberkeley-259x300.jpg\" alt=\"(Courtesy of UC- Berkeley)\" width=\"259\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Courtesy of UC- Berkeley)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The state's Legislative Analyst’s Office released a new \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/Publications/Detail/2914\">report\u003c/a> that criticizes Governor Jerry Brown's plan to freeze tuition at state universities.

(California Department of Finance)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The problem is illustrated by the chart showing capital gains reported by California taxpayers over the last several decades. Jason Sisney of the Legislative Analyst’s Office described it as “a roller-coaster ride. Steep climbs and fast drops.” Assembly Speaker John Perez had another definition: “That looks like atrial fibrillation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That roller coaster -- or whatever you want to call it -- plays a major role in determining how much money the state has to spend on programs each year. “When the market does not do well, this part of our revenue structure declines rapidly,” explained Sisney. “When the market does well, as it’s been doing lately, it climbs very rapidly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Capital gains tax revenue dropped by $7 billion during the last recession – that’s more than what this year’s budget would spend on all human services programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How does one area of revenue play such a big role in California’s budget health? It’s really a problem caused by the top 1 percent of the income tax bracket. “The personal income tax makes up about two-thirds of the state’s general fund,” said Sisney. “And the fraction of the personal income tax that’s paid by the 1 percent of returns with the most income has often been around 40 percent, or even more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason the top 1 percent of taxpayers accounts for 40 percent\u003cem> \u003c/em>of the income tax California takes in each year is because the state taxes higher earners at higher rates. And these extremely rich people have been earning a lot more in recent decades. They also make most of their money off stock market earnings and real estate sales, as opposed to a regular paycheck -- thus the capital gains fluctuations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/134302299&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Brown’s plan is to prevent lawmakers from spending all of that tax revenue in the flush years. If capital gains revenues swell beyond 6.5 percent of California’s budget, the proposal would sock away anything over that into a rainy day fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/08/96580/\">The proposal initially came from Assembly Speaker John Perez\u003c/a>. “When we have these wild fluctuations, if we didn’t establish a meaningful rainy day fund like the one we’re proposing, what you have is massive cuts as the ones we saw over the last couple years,” said Perez. “Huge impacts on local governments. Huge impacts on education. Huge impact on doing business with the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A broader approach\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perez said if his plan had been in place before the last recession, it would have reduced the state’s shortfall by half. Not everyone is so optimistic, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerry Parsky \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/sep/30/local/me-taxes30\">led the last major effort to try and fix this problem\u003c/a>. He chaired a 2009 commission on tax volatility put together by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. \u003ca href=\"http://www.cotce.ca.gov/documents/reports/documents/Commission_on_the_21st_Century_Economy-Final_Report.pdf\">Its proposed solution was much more drastic\u003c/a>: flatten out the income tax brackets so wealthy earners aren’t paying much more than everyone else, and completely rewrite California’s commercial and sales taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parsky said he’s “very skeptical “ of the latest rainy day fund proposal. “It’s impossible to deal adequately with volatility without changing the mix of the personal income tax, the corporate tax and the sales tax,” he said. “You certainly can’t do it with what I would call a weak rainy day fund.\" Weak, said Parsky, because income tax would still account for two-thirds of the state’s tax revenue, and it would still be rocketing up and down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Perez said he and Brown aren’t interested in flattening out income taxes. “In essence what (Parsky) is suggesting is, 'Let’s tax middle-class families more and let's tax the wealthy less'. And I don’t think that that is good policy or good politics,” said Perez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>War of the Rainy Day Funds\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rainy day fund isn’t a new idea. In fact, voters approved one a decade ago. But it went into effect just before the last recession, so it never really got a chance to work. Governors can opt out of contributing money to it, which is what both Brown and Schwarzenegger have done since 2007. (Brown’s latest budget proposal would contribute more than $1 million to the fund, though.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s actually another new rainy day plan on this year’s fall ballot as well. It was drafted as part of the 2010 budget deal – Schwarzenegger’s last -- and then delayed. This ballot measure would make it more difficult to avoid payments. It determines excess tax revenue by averaging out the last 20 California budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown spokesman H.D. Palmer said that approach wouldn’t really fix the problem of volatile tax revenue. That’s why Brown and Perez want to replace it with their new plan, “so we believe that what’s on the ballot currently is an improvement over what current law is now. We think that this proposal deals with the issue of the fluctuations of the state’s revenue in a much better manner,” said Palmer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown wants his rainy day fund proposal on the November ballot.

It’s really a problem caused by the top 1 percent of the income tax bracket. “The personal income tax makes up about two-thirds of the state’s general fund,” said Sisney. “And the fraction of the personal income tax that’s paid by the 1 percent of returns with the most income has often been around 40 percent, or even more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason the top 1 percent of taxpayers accounts for 40 percent\u003cem> \u003c/em>of the income tax California takes in each year is because the state taxes higher earners at higher rates.

Brown’s plan is to prevent lawmakers from spending all of that tax revenue in the flush years. If capital gains revenues swell beyond 6.5 percent of California’s budget, the proposal would sock away anything over that into a rainy day fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/08/96580/\">The proposal initially came from Assembly Speaker John Perez\u003c/a>. “When we have these wild fluctuations, if we didn’t establish a meaningful rainy day fund like the one we’re proposing, what you have is massive cuts as the ones we saw over the last couple years,” said Perez. “Huge impacts on local governments. Huge impacts on education. Huge impact on doing business with the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A broader approach\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perez said if his plan had been in place before the last recession, it would have reduced the state’s shortfall by half. Not everyone is so optimistic, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerry Parsky \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/sep/30/local/me-taxes30\">led the last major effort to try and fix this problem\u003c/a>. He chaired a 2009 commission on tax volatility put together by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. \u003ca href=\"http://www.cotce.ca.gov/documents/reports/documents/Commission_on_the_21st_Century_Economy-Final_Report.pdf\">Its proposed solution was much more drastic\u003c/a>: flatten out the income tax brackets so wealthy earners aren’t paying much more than everyone else, and completely rewrite California’s commercial and sales taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parsky said he’s “very skeptical “ of the latest rainy day fund proposal. “It’s impossible to deal adequately with volatility without changing the mix of the personal income tax, the corporate tax and the sales tax,” he said. “You certainly can’t do it with what I would call a weak rainy day fund.\" Weak, said Parsky, because income tax would still account for two-thirds of the state’s tax revenue, and it would still be rocketing up and down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Perez said he and Brown aren’t interested in flattening out income taxes. “In essence what (Parsky) is suggesting is, 'Let’s tax middle-class families more and let's tax the wealthy less'. And I don’t think that that is good policy or good politics,” said Perez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>War of the Rainy Day Funds\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rainy day fund isn’t a new idea. In fact, voters approved one a decade ago. But it went into effect just before the last recession, so it never really got a chance to work. Governors can opt out of contributing money to it, which is what both Brown and Schwarzenegger have done since 2007. (Brown’s latest budget proposal would contribute more than $1 million to the fund, though.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s actually another new rainy day plan on this year’s fall ballot as well. It was drafted as part of the 2010 budget deal – Schwarzenegger’s last -- and then delayed. This ballot measure would make it more difficult to avoid payments. It determines excess tax revenue by averaging out the last 20 California budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown spokesman H.D. Palmer said that approach wouldn’t really fix the problem of volatile tax revenue. That’s why Brown and Perez want to replace it with their new plan, “so we believe that what’s on the ballot currently is an improvement over what current law is now. We think that this proposal deals with the issue of the fluctuations of the state’s revenue in a much better manner,” said Palmer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown wants his rainy day fund proposal on the November ballot. It would be a constitutional amendment, so that means two-thirds of the Assembly and Senate need to OK the plan by the end of June.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/125893/browns-rainy-day-fund-is-latest-try-to-fix-major-budget-problem","authors":["256"],"programs":["news_6944"],"categories":["news_1758"],"tags":["news_30","news_5728","news_71"],"featImg":"news_121939","label":"news_6944"},"news_123210":{"type":"posts","id":"news_123210","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"123210","score":null,"sort":[1389632406000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"gov-browns-budget-are-kids-getting-short-shrift","title":"Gov.
