AB 1 would only help a very small portion of the people who have benefited from the ACA. It could do more harm than good if it serves as an excuse for Congressional repeal of the ACA or for continuing the court challenge of the law’s validity.

We oppose AB 4 because it would impede our state's ability to make investments that are critically important for our state's long-term prosperity. We also think the next round of tax cuts should reverse cuts in the EITC and Homestead tax credit.
