This lecture will focus on the politics and processes involved in approving a state budget. Bill Hauck of the California Business Roundtable and Jean Ross of the California Budget Project will engage in a discussion of the perils and pitfalls of what some call "The Hardest Part of Politics" in California, namely proposing and ultimately approving a state budget. This session of the California Agenda will cover a host of questions concerning the most significant budgetary issues facing the state, including potential winners and losers, a possible re-exploration of propositions 13 and 98, and when we might achieve meaningful fiscal and budgetary reform in California.


The California Agenda lecture series, a component of the Pat Brown Institute's Public Policy Education Program, was created to educate and engage California policymakers and decision-makers on important state public policy issues.
