Reporter Roundup: Big Cuts from State Budget

On the May 14 edition of the Reporter Roundup, KPCC reporters discuss California’s massive $54 billion dollar budget deficit and what may be cut to close the gap. 

KPCC’s Kyle Stokes reports on what the revised state budget means to state’s education.

Reporter Josie Huang looks at how California’s social safety net is holding up, including extending the California Earned Income Tax Credit for low income workers. 

The state’s healthcare system will certainly be impacted and Robert Garrova has the details.
