Governor’s Cabinet Secretary Comments on Shortfall-to-Surplus Budget

By CalChamber
Ana Matosantos, Cabinet Secretary in the Office of Governor Gavin Newsom and director of the state Department of Finance in the administrations of both Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, commented on the “remarkable swing” in the state’s budget outlook in a question-and-answer session at the virtual meeting of the CalChamber Board of Directors on May 13.
