The budget proposed by Governor Jerry Brown does nothing to improve California’s dismal jobs climate. Instead it would make California even less competitive in the battle for jobs.
I’m particularly concerned about the governor’s proposal to eliminate enterprise zones. It makes no sense to eliminate these vital economic development zones – we should instead be expanding them. Better yet, we should make all of California an enterprise zone. After all, the entire state is now economically distressed.
Please take a moment to read my recent op-ed on this subject in the Sacramento Bee and let me know your thoughts.
