ACTION ALERT: Fight for infrastructure funding as budget trailer deadline looms

,

Ready to dive into the latest developments around the $180 billion BizFed-backed infrastructure package winding its way through the legislative process in Sacramento? We'll cut straight to what you need to know about what dropped over the weekend, what's developing this morning, and what we need every BizFed member to do this afternoon.

More than a dozen budget trailer bills were introduced Saturday, followed by three more this morning. BizFed policy leaders are examining all proposals. Here's what jumps out at them immediately as bills that align with BizFed goals.

• SB 115: Cleans up Prop 28 language to expand arts and music funding for schools.
• SB 125: Creates a transit task force and budget transit funding supported by BizFed.
• SB 132: Advances a motion picture tax credit proposal that BizFed supports.
