With $7.4 billion worth of budget slicing behind them, Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratic leaders will try again today to secure the Assembly vote for redevelopment cuts that eluded them Wednesday.
Here was Brown's take on the day's work:
"Lot of good work on the side of the Senate Republicans. Great work by the Democrats in the Assembly. But for the Republicans, for some reason, known only to them, they don't want to balance the budget with cuts. And they don't appear to want to balance it with new revenues. So they must want a profound, continuing unbalanced budget. And that's unacceptable. And a very profound disservice to California."
He said he'll continue to take the process "day by day."
"Look, we've done a lot," he said. "Two months ago, we would have never thought we would have these cuts. So this place is never perfect. We've done some work. We have a lot more to go."
