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.

The 29th Senate District Huff represents covers portions of Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino counties,  including Walnut and Diamond Bar. Follow Senator Huff on Twitter @bobhuff99.

At least we should let people sleep on the weekends! I remember the last memorial weekend, whenRead More Susan Park was full of baseball banging noises starting at 6:30 am and then screaming and kicking at 7 am. Can Walnut Counsel fix that non-sense??

CP is right, the Walnut Council should be working on REAL quality of life issues, even though theyRead More aren't so glamorous. I'd like to see this issue solved/leaf blowers BANNED verses the Council putting in another red-light camera or parking meters to extort money from Mt. Sac students.

During the hotter months, the days are longer, people try to do outdoor work really early or reallyRead More late since it's cooler. What about all the barking noise created when people walk their dogs really early or really late? These people usually have their favorite spots and they just stand there forever while all the dogs in the street are going crazy. Shouldn't this be banned too?

Hello Me. Sure. I have a press release to post from the district on some Nogales Gates MillenniumRead More scholars. I just haven't had a chance to post yet. I have a little more time because Nogales hasn't had its graduation yet while DB, DR, and WHS all have had theirs. You can also use this announcement section to post stuff happening at Nogales that you want the community to know about on Patch.

Why post this book as if it is NEWS? The headline read as if it were actual news, not a bookRead More review. Shouldn't there be a separate section for books and such?

I agree but, if there is, I couldn't find it. And, actually, it isn't a book review; it's a bookRead More blurb for the first novel in my Malone mystery series.
