Gov. Gavin Newsom discusses his revised 2019-20 state budget during a news conference Thursday in Sacramento.
The governor’s overall spending plan, a $213.5-billion blueprint for the fiscal year that begins in July, offers a sprinkling of new ideas and cash to. Legislators now have until June 15 to send Newsom a final budget or forfeit their paychecks. . It includes more than $130 million in new spending on child care for low-income families, funded largely by taxes on the sale of legalized marijuana.
— remains a work in progress and is more cautious than proposals now pending in the Legislature. While he has pledged to extend the current paid leave program for new parents and caregivers from six weeks to six months, the revised budget provides only enough money for an additional two weeks per parent. The governor said he remains committed to finding the money needed for a much broader expansion.
His budget would, though, expand coverage of all children without regard to immigration status until they turn 26. His proposal would take effect in January, six months later than he originally planned and thus reducing the cost. Mayors from California's 13 largest cities, who had pushed for more money on homeless prevention efforts, were pleased that the governor increased his proposal."This unprecedented level of investment recognizes the moral, safety and public health emergency that California cities face because of the thousands of people living on their streets,” Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, who chairs the mayors’ group, said in a statement.
Uh Fiscally responsible? California has over 1 trillion in unsecured pension liabilities, they keep off the books.
Don’t take advantage on the name of homeless to fill up your bank account. Socialist = communist = corruption = destroy everything
You turn Californians to be homeless due to the burdens carrying for the illegal criminals. Get off the governor seat. You can even worsen situation.
This will cause the homeless population to increase.
No, it diverts money from rural areas. sacbee_news did a much better report on this. 🤦🏽♀️
That’s not a problem. The problem is your housing illegals
Govt control socialism redistribution gives minimal handouts by taking from workers making them poorer rather then enhance the Free Mkt & Individual Liberty economy small biz, 70% job creator, startups/expansion creating jobs to advance to a higher wage & better living standard
That large windfall is one of the reasons so many people are in this situation. You tax them into poverty then say you’re great by using the money you stole from them for some meaningless service.
That's like saying these fathers whom raied their daughters and got them pregnant have to marry their fathers. Men have sperm women have eggs men don't in those they impregnate.
Being raised by men doesn't make you any less than a woman than women whom weren't raped and you never have to marry anyone even the rapist whom got Yu pregnant.
I feel like that bc I'm homeless that abusive beings are trying to take advantage of me such as abuse me bc I'm single. Married people aren't any better than single this was proven by married people raping and abducting little girls.
thank god I am leaving this state. He does not know what he is doing.
This is what a socialist looks like
Gavin Newsom has effectively destroyed the middle class in California, way to go chump. RecallGavinNewsom
I read some pretty heavy theories today about Newsom's relationship with the ppl involved in that huge gun bust. Wild.
Gavin needs to lobby for veterans not to have their pensions cut if they work and make more than $15,000 a year to supplement their pensions. veterans GavinNewsom
If they’re spending $500 million on the homeless now, why are there still so many?
The next recession is going to be awesome!
You're just going to attract more homeless across the country to come here while the CA taxpayer foots the bill from their food budget.
