About the CalTax Members' Luncheon With Senator Niello and Assembly Member Tangipa

Join us on May 7 for budget briefing and luncheon featuring Senator Roger Niello and Assembly Member David Tangipa, the vice chairs of the budget committees in their respective houses.

 

With negotiations heating up as the Legislature’s budget deadline approaches, this timely discussion will provide insight into the state’s fiscal outlook, spending pressures, and the policy choices ahead – including tax policy decisions that will have a major impact on California’s cost of living and ability to compete for jobs and investments.

 

The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office projects that California faces ongoing annual budget deficits of approximately $30 billion beginning next year, underscoring the significance of the decisions before the Legislature.

 

During their presentation, Senator Niello and Assemblyman Tangipa will share their perspectives as the lead Republicans on budget issues, and will address the state’s fiscal condition, budget priorities, and strategies to restore long-term financial stability.

 

Attendees will have an opportunity to engage directly with both lawmakers during a question-and-answer session.

 

This briefing will be especially valuable for business leaders, taxpayers, policy professionals, and others interested in California’s economic and fiscal future.
