Budget Presentation - State Senator Ducheny

CSUEU President Pat Gantt sent this out today:

Chapter Presidents, Bargaining Unit Chairs and Vice Chairs, Legislative Committee, Organizing Committee, CSUEU Staff:

I have attached a budget presentation from the California Budget Project website that was done by Senator Denise Ducheny at the annual conference. Senator Ducheny is the chair of the Senate budget committee and the presentation does explain how the problems developed and some of the impacts. It also advocates that a balanced approach must be used to solve the crisis. You can use this information in your chapter meetings and with your members to educate them on the budget process and impacts.

Pat Gantt, President
