system, increasing accountability in schools, and expanding access to higher
education. While presiding over California during an economic expansion,
he made record investments in infrastructure, created
four Centers of Science and Innovation on UC campuses, and expanded state
health insurance for an additional one million children.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER CAMERON SMYTH is Chair of the Assembly Local
Government Committee. In 2008, Assemblyman Smyth was appointed by the
Assembly Republican Leader as the Republican Caucus Chair, which is the

APRIL 1982:
ANCIENT CALIFORNIA HISTORY “The interconnected complications surrounding the upcoming state budget for 1982-83 defy comprehension by most state legislators let alone the public at large… Governor Jerry Brown is projecting a $3 to $4 Billion shortfall in revenues for 1982-83. This is against the Governor’s $2.1 Billion estimate in his January proposed budget…It would be wrong to think of the current budget difficulties as something temporary, which will disappear when good economic times come back,” (April 1982, UCLA Faculty Assn. Newsletter).
