This Week in Your Government
Monday, January 31 – Friday, February 4, 2011
Hard on the heels of President Obama’s State of the Union address last week, Governor Jerry Brown offers the 2011 State of the State address on Monday. The speech takes place at 5:00 pm in the Assembly Chambers of the State Capitol. Watch it live here.
Meanwhile, the Legislature continues to grapple with the Governor’s budget proposals. For a full schedule of hearings, see the Assembly Daily File and the Senate Daily File.
