Jennifer Kent, knower of all things California health care policy, shares her valuable insight on how the state budget sausage gets made.
Currently the CEO of the Kent Group, Jennifer Kent served under three different Governors, most recently as the Director of the California Department of Health Care Services. She’s held leadership roles in the Health & Human Services Agency and Governor's Office and also spent time in the third house as a lobbyist.
Here are my top 5 takeaways from our excellent conversation:
1. When it comes to the state budget, there’s never a down time. Budget creation is a year-round affair so your advocacy needs to be too. [00:03:51]
2. The executive branch ecosystem is a complicated family structure. Take time to understand how the puzzle fits together. [00:11:28]
3. Never interpret technical assistance from a Department or Agency as a sign of support. [00:14:21]
4. Draft your own appropriation language. TBL vs BBL? It depends on what you're trying to achieve. [00:18:03]
5. If you don’t like what you see in the Governor's budget, bring alternatives and solutions. [00:25:20]
