Bass Says California Needs Federal Stimulus Package
In an editorial, California Assembly Speaker Karen Bass (D-Los Angeles) argues that the federal government should provide a stimulus package to the state to "help prevent California's economic output from slowing even further and contributing to a continuing downward cycle." She adds, "Real economic assistance could also come from an increase in the Federal Medical Assistance Program, or FMAP, the federal matching payment for California's Medi-Cal program."
