SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Assembly Speaker Karen Bass said Thursday she is willing to do her part in getting a state budget passed.

Bass said she would no longer accept her daily $170 per diem, which legislators get for expenses, until a spending bill is approved.

"The notion that Assembly Democrats aren't working overtime to get the budget passed is ludicrous. We've had budget votes, negotiated in good faith, and have a responsible, balanced solution that protects education and the safety net," Bass said in a statement. "Democrats have worked with him and have compromised as far as we can. It's time for him to stop the finger pointing at the Legislature and roll up his sleeves and show some leadership."
