Assemblywoman Quirk-Silva Returns to State Capitol to Tackle Budget and Legislation Related to COVID-19
Sacramento, CA – Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Fullerton) heads back to Sacramento as the State Assembly reconvenes today. While the state continues to be under the Governor’s shelter-in-place order, the Assemblywoman wants to make sure Californians receive the resources they need during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Legislature’s top priority is to pass the state budget. This is a critical time, as people have lost their jobs, businesses have closed, and children have been out of school. There are a lot of services and programs that will need funds and resources to help those most impacted by the pandemic.
“Our budget and legislation requests have shifted in order to address the growing concerns of the pandemic,” said Assemblywoman Quirk-Silva. “We have to provide critical funding with projected lower revenue resources. Nevertheless, I am pleased that the focus regarding homelessness, mental health, and education are still able to be addressed.”
