Your Chance to Fix California's State Budget May 12, 2010

Wed, 5/12, 6-7:30pm (also Thur, 5/13, 7-8:30 pm @ Albany High School and Thur, 5/27, 6-7:30 pm at Orinda Public Library)

The revenues California depends on to fund state services have experienced the largest loss since the great depression. This year the shortfall could be as large as $20 billion.

The Governor proposes significant cuts to our schools, health programs and human services. Cuts of this magnitude could devastate our state, both in the present and the future.

Help balance the state's budget.

Next10 has setup an innovative Budget Challenge that mirrors the decisions the Legislature will have to make in the next few weeks. The simulation contains accurate figures for the state's current revenues and expenditures, the Governor's proposed cuts, and alternatives so that you can make your own choices.

At the end of the Challenge share your responses with the Legislature.

Wednesday, May 12, 6-7:30pm Richmond City Hall, 450 Civic Center Plaza, Richmond

Thursday, May 13, 7-8:30pm Albany High School, 603 Key Route Boulevard, Albany (Speaker John Perez expected)
