Budget sparks ire over California state spending proposals
A critic denounces Governor Jerry Brown's budget as an 11 percent expenditure rise and larger state workforce, arguing long-term spending growth exceeds inflation. The letter cites total funds, including federal grants, at 39.6 billion and attacks pesticide rules, welfare cost increases, and pipeline plans as costly policy moves. The writer pledges not to vote for Brown's budget.
