(Sacramento, CA) – Assemblymember James C. Ramos (D - Highland) issues the following statement following Governor Gavin Newsom’s State of the State Address:
“Listening to Governor Newsom today gives me hope for the future of the Inland Empire,” said Assemblymember Ramos. “I applaud Governor Newsom’s plan to tackle the homelessness crisis with funding devoted to housing and supportive services such as mental health and addiction. His request for more transparency in our school systems is promising as we move to prevent social bullying and aid homeless youth. Budgetary funding to incentivize housing construction will be a benefit to workers and families looking for affordable housing. I am encouraged by Governor Newsom’s dedication to boost apprenticeships and training to foster a skilled workforce for our evolving economy. Lastly, Governor Newsom’s plan to expand the California Earned Income Tax Credit to 1 million more Californians will put money back into the wallets of working people and stimulate the economy in the community. I look forward to what we can accomplish for the Inland Empire.”
