GOP core causus to stay in Sacramento over holiday

State Senate Republican Leader Dennis Hollingsworth issued a statement saying he and his core caucus members will remain in Sacramento over the Fourth of July holiday weekend to continue work on solving California's growing deficit.

Some of the issues remaining involve how best to save billions by improving efficiency, reducing long-term costs, and eliminating waste, abuse, and fraud.

"Senate Republicans are calling for a full solution to the budget deficit, not a piecemeal approach to balance the budget without raising taxes, borrowing, or gimmicks," Hollingsworth said.
