Description:

The California Budget & Policy Center and the Pacific Research Institute offer their perspectives on the state budget shortfall and governor’s May Revision. Also, UC Davis hosts a symposium on the impacts of USAID cuts to globally focused research.

California Budget & Policy Center

Gov. Gavin Newsom released his May Revision of the upcoming state budget on Wednesday, which includes difficult decisions as the state is facing a projected $12 billion budget shortfall. That means stiffer competition for funding, as lawmakers work to pass a balanced budget by June 15, or forego their pay. Chris Hoene is the Executive Director of the California Budget & Policy Center, which is a nonpartisan, research and analysis nonprofit. He joins us with a response to the governor’s fiscal priorities and proposed cuts.

Pacific Research Institute

For a response to the May Revise, we are also joined by Wayne Winegarden, a Senior Fellow of Business and Economics at the Pacific Research Institute, a California-based free-market think tank. He joins Insight with his perspective on the state’s fiscal priorities and budget challenges.

Symposium on Impacts of USAID Cuts

It has been several months since the Trump Administration gutted the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), cutting funding and terminating projects around the world. Keith David Watenpaugh is the Director of Human Rights Studies and Christine Stewart is the Director of the Institute for Global Nutrition at UC Davis. They join Insight to talk about how cuts to the 60-year-old agency are impacting work done at the university, and also preview the upcoming symposium At the Crossroads: Honoring Global Impacts Amidst Funding Challenges on Mon. May 19 from 3-6 p.m.
