Sen. John Moorlach Cautions Legislature on Projected Surplus
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sen. John M.W. Moorlach, R-Costa Mesa, comments on the Legislative Analyst’s (LAO) new report, “The 2019-20 Budget: California’s Fiscal Outlook”:
The LAO is optimistic about nearly $15 billion in additional resources to allocate after putting another $15 billion into the Rainy Day fund.

Rohrabacher Leading By Nine Points Over Rouda In Latest CA-48 Survey By TPStrat Research
Editorial by Strategist John Thomas:
Rohrabacher has taken a significant lead in the race for CA-48, breaking the 50% threshold this week, despite TPStrat’s statewide generic ballot testing revealing a heavy Democratic advantage. Thus far the 48th CD appears to be immune to such negative gravity.

Rouda is winning with No-Party-Preference voting bloc with 49.9% to Rohrabacher’s 42.9%. Rohrabacher is winning with women with a commanding lead at 51.8% to Rouda’s 40.9%. Continue reading
