CAPITOL COMMENT: Huff Questions Brown's Call for "Fiscal Discipline"

The Senate Republican Leader said that the governor discussed many proposals his party can agree on but hopes the rhetoric will match the actions.

In this week's Capitol Comment, state Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar, gives praise in general to Gov. Jerry Brown for his recent State of the State address.

Huff said he appreciated Brown's remarks about fiscal discipline in the budget process, putting an end to boom and bust budget cycles, and freezing tuition at the CSU and UC campuses.  Brown also discussed California Environmental Quality Act reform and other proposed measure that Republicans couple support, Huff added.

However, Huff said he questions whether Brown's rhetoric matches his actions.  The governor talks of fiscal discipline, but has proposed to increase spending by $3 billion in the next fiscal year, he said.

Huff represents the 29th Senate District covering portions of Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino Counties. He can be followed on Twitter @bobhuff99.

i respect senator huff. please try to work with governor and the other party via compromise and considered debate, not grandstanding in the media like we see on capital hill. the people are tired of gridlock.

It would be of benefit if Senator Huff stated specifics. What would he exclude from the proposed budget and why? In that way we could let him know if we agree or disagree with him and express ourselves.

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.
