SACRAMENTO, Calif. /California Newswire/ — Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today issued the following statement after the California Employment Development Department released employment numbers for the month of October:
“California continues to experience a slow recovery, but I am proud that we passed a budget that held the line on tax increases and pleased that the California voters upheld vital employment incentives on the November ballot. These actions will help the private sector expand and hire, which will increase revenue and bolster California’s economy. Going forward, we must remember that raising taxes on employers and consumers will only hurt job growth. That is why in the upcoming Special Session, I will present a proposal to bridge the current-year budget gap without any tax increases, and I encourage the legislature and Governor-Elect Jerry Brown to follow that lead as they move forward.”
