Budget Townhall with Assemblymember Jared Huffman

Assemblymember Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) will be holding a public forums in Petaluma to discuss the state budget and collect feedback with an independent,nonpartisan organization, Next 10.

Next 10 has created an innovative Budget Challenge that mirrors the decisions Assemblymember Huffman and his colleagues in the Legislature will have to make to balance our state's budget deficit.

The simulation contains accurate figures for California's revenues and expenditures so that constituents can make their own choices.

At the event, constituents will be given response clickers that allow them to vote on policy options and see the results instantly. They will have the opportunity to choose how much they would spend on schools, prisons, the environment, and other state programs - and how they would pay for them.

If you can't make it to one of the forums, you can still take The Budget Challenge online. Once the challenge is completed, you can click on "Take Action," to make sure your responses are submitted.
