CAPITOL COMMENT: Huff Discusses Budget and Court and Education Funding
Huff, Senate Republican Leader, represents Diamond Bar and Walnut.
In this week's Capitol Comment, Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar, discusses the state budget, as well as education and court funding issues.
Huff mentions a column by Dan Walters from the "Sacramento Bee" on Gov. Jerry Brown's proposed budget plan. The proposed plan increases spending this year by $3 billion, while court funding has been slashed, according to Huff.
The senator also talks about the governor's push for more online courses in the UC system, an effort with which Huff agrees. The governor's proposed budget includes an additional $10 million to increase online course offerings, Huff said.
