Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez (D-Los Angeles) wants to open up the budget process to as many Californians as possible so the final spending plan reflects the values of Californians. In order to give more people a voice in the budget process Speaker Pérez and other Assembly Democrats are hosting a series of interactive budget forums around the state that are being webcast live on the internet. A series of budget hearings at the state capitol will also be webcast live online. At a press conference in Fresno minutes before a townhall, Speaker Pérez talked about how he hopes the interactive live webcasts will bring transparency to the complex state budget process. Heres the Speaker in this Assembly Access video.
