Aptos Lawyer: By 2 BILLION, CA Dept. Finance can’t add or subtract

Aptos Lawyer:  Two BILLION  bucks  ‘error’  for cost of  Medic-Aid health care  for poor in California. 

The California Department of Finance told Breitbart News that they did not discover a negative $1.8 billion cost error in calculating the state budget, signed by Gov. Jerry Brown on June 27, until after the November 8 elections.

In a testy hearing in front of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee on January 17, Gov. Brown’s Chief Deputy Finance Director, Amy Costa, tried to explain away a negative $1.4 billion understatement of California’s portion of the cost to fund healthcare for the poor as, “The math was wrong.” [Breitbart News has discovered the wrong math is actually an additional $1.8 billion cost.]

Under questioning from the Senate committee, Ms. Costa stated that the Brown administration discovered the Medi-Cal error last fall, but she acknowledged that they did not tell the legislature until January 10, and only learned of the math at the hearing.
