State
I received the following from Senator Huff's representative David Monroy, and wanted to pass it along. If you're interested, the Budget Summary prepared by the Legislative Analyst's Office is available on the Chamber website HERE.
Senator Bob Huff is one of two Republicans selected to serve on the Senate Budget Conference Committee. This committee will be THE committee where each party's budget version will be reviewed and reconciled with the other. As the debates move forward, the Senator will be looking to groups and individuals for insight as to the impact of current legislation and budget proposals. With that said, in preparation for the budget conference committee and the ongoing budget discussions Senator Huff has directed staff to offer this simple survey to your Chamber members to complete and return to us via email. Responses to these questions will add greatly to the ongoing discussions and provide us strong examples to the impact of these measures.
Please reply to this survey by sending your responses to one of Senator Huff's representatives David Monroy (david.monroy@sen.ca.gov) or Brett Meyer (Brett.Meyer@sen.ca.gov).
Thank you in advance for your help in this matter and please let me know if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
DM
