PITTSBURG, CA – On Thursday, May 16, Assemblymember Jim Frazier (D-Oakley) and Assemblywoman Susan A. Bonilla (D-Concord) will hold a joint budget town hall to discuss the state budget and collect feedback with an independent, nonpartisan organization, Next 10. Next 10 has created an Interactive California Budget Challenge that mirrors the decisions Assemblymembers Frazier and Bonilla will have to make to balance our state’s budget. The simulation contains accurate figures for California’s revenues and expenditures so that constituents can make their own choices.
At the event, constituents will be given response clickers that allow them to vote on policy options and see the results instantly. They will have the opportunity to choose how much they would spend on schools, prisons, the environment, and other state programs – and how they would pay for them.
