May 19th Special Election Update

 

This year faced with a huge budget deficit, California legislators had no easy choices.  They rushed through a secret backroom deal that included giant service cuts, borrowing, and some new taxes. As part of this compromise they put six initiatives on the ballot for a special May19th election that could limit public spending and lock in service cuts to low income Californians for years to come. Fortunately some of the key decisions have been left to voters.

Two Things You Can Do to Stop the Trigger Cuts!
Two Things You Can Do to Stop the Trigger Cuts!

Background: The State budget enacted Feb. 20, 2009 requires the State Treasurer and Director of Finance to determine by April 1, 2009 whether California will receive at least $10 billion from the $789 billion federal economic stimulus package to avoid cuts to health, soical services and education. The Governor's Department of Finance has stated that California will not receive enough money from the federal government to avoid more cuts to vital social services.  But California is not opting to take advantage of all the money available, including money for higher education. 

      The cuts that would be triggered include:

 

Medi-Cal: Eliminate many services for adults, including dental care, podiatry, audiology and speech therapy and psychological services. 

CalWORKS:Reduce grants by 4%, or about $30 per family per month.

SSI/SSP: Reduce grants by 2.3% or about $30 a month.

In Home Supportive Services (IHSS): Cap the state share of wages at $9.50 per hour (it is currently $11.50 per hour).

Higher Education:  $100 million in cuts
