SACRAMENTO – Today Assemblyman Josh Hoover (R-Folsom) released the following statement in response to Governor Newsom’s proposed state budget:

“The Governor is minimizing the true size of California’s budget deficit. Meanwhile, the Legislature is debating a new ‘wealth tax’ to solve a budgetary problem they created with years of waste and overspending.

“No matter how high taxes get, it never seems to be enough. Raising taxes again will only increase costs on hardworking Californians and continue to drive taxpayers out of our state.”

Josh Hoover represents Assembly District 7, which includes the cities of Citrus Heights, Folsom, and Rancho Cordova and the unincorporated communities of Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Foothill Farms, Gold River, Mather, McClellan Park, North Highlands, Orangevale, and Rosemont.
