SACRAMENTO – Today, California Republicans sent a letter to Governor Brown asking him to prevent the mass release of criminals that is set to occur as a result of realignment (AB 109).

Last week, the issue of sequestration made the headlines again with the bipartisan decision to allocate more funds to the FAA after a flight delays around the country led to public uproar.

The sequester, which came into effect on March 1st forces the Federal government to proceed with $85 billion in budget cuts by the end of 2013. Defense programs were among the most affected with $45 billion in cuts, an 8 percent budget reduction. Over the next 10 years, defense cuts are supposed to total $500 billion.
