To our collective disappointment and surprise \u2014 especially given the state\u2019s current budget surplus \u2014 rather than make those investments, the Governor proposes to use the revenue to make a $500 million loan to the General Fund.<\/p>\n<p>It is our position that the state should not delay in using all possible tools in the cap-and-trade program toolkit. Deciding on how to spend these funds is one of the last major pieces to be put in place. There is no time to waste in making investments in climate solutions that also stimulate economic activity, create jobs, support disadvantaged communities and provide a host of environmental co-benefits.<\/p>\n<p>At CalCAN, we have long argued that a portion of the auction revenue should be allocated to climate and agriculture research, technical assistance, incentives for voluntarily implemented sustainable agriculture practices on California farms and ranches, and protection of farmland at high risk of GHG-intensive development. These are the ultimate \u201cshovel ready\u201d projects, worthy of investments that will ensure our food security and long-term viability of California\u2019s economically depressed rural communities.<\/p>\n<p>The long-term costs of delaying action on climate change in the name of fiscal prudence dwarf the $500 million proposed expenditures of auction revenue. The sooner we start investing in community-based climate solutions, the greater impact we will have on curbing climate change.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 14th, Governor Jerry Brown released the latest version of his 2013\/14 budget, which will now be debated and revised&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[680],"tags":[160,15,62,20,70],"class_list":["post-3922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-policy","tag-budget","tag-cap-and-trade","tag-governor-jerry-brown","tag-policy","tag-sustainable-agriculture"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Budget Surplus, Climate Action Deficit | CalCAN - California Climate &amp;
