Legislative Analyst's Office Reaction to the Governor's Budget – 
The Governor released his budget that solved a $38 billion problem, yet an analysis of the budget proposal by the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) notes the Governor actually solved for a $58 billion problem, which is closer to the $68 billion deficit predicted by the LAO in early-December (report included in this update). The main difference between the $38 billion and the $58 billion problems is the $15 billion that will be future reductions to schools and community colleges that will likely be felt in future years. 

In a sense, the Governor has given us a cash advance instead of cutting from prior year allocations provided to schools and community colleges. Therefore, in future years, we would likely get less Proposition 98 resources since we have received allocations in the 2022-23 and 2022-24 that are above the current calculation of what Proposition 98 should be. 

From an operational perspective, it would be better to not have to find ways to reduce grants and resources we have already committed to and instead plan for less new resources going forward. While the situation is far less than ideal, the board's prudence and long-term view of financial management place us in a great position to handle whatever unique accounting maneuvers the state throws our way.
