California Families Deserve Better Fiscal Leadership

SACRAMENTO – Senator John Moorlach (R-Costa Mesa) released the following statement today regarding Governor Jerry Brown’s 2017-18 state budget proposal:

“I appreciate that the Governor continues to watch our state’s spending. I concur that even a mild recession will jeopardize the ability to balance the budget.

REP. LORETTA SANCHEZ RELEASES STATEMENT ON CALIFORNIA SOLDIERS FORCED TO REPAY ENLISTMENT BONUSES

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (CA-46), senior member of the House Armed Services and Homeland Security Committees, released the following statement following the news that California soldiers and veterans are being forced to repay their enlistment bonus to the federal government.

Today, over 10,000 veterans are being forced to pay back these bonuses and students loans because, according to the Pentagon, they were not authorized to receive them.

Instead of writing off the debt, the Pentagon is billing soldiers for their enlistment bonus with high interest and threatening debt collection and liens if they do not comply. Continue reading→
