Governor Newsom Proposes $322 Billion Budget with No Deficit

California Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed a $322 Billion state budget for the next fiscal year. Newsom says the budget, which comes after two years of massive state deficits, will be balanced and without a deficit. But the budget is essentially a placeholder, as Newsom and the state legislature await the incoming Trump administration, and possible cuts to federal funding. Blake Jones, co-author of the Politico California Playbook joins Cher Calvin and Micah Ohlman with more on the proposal and the budget fight ahead. Jan. 6, 2025.

24 Billion that was meant for homeless went to this guys LLC's and lined D.A.'s, Judges, and Politicians pockets in Sacramento and San FranSicko!

Meanwhile in Oakland & Vallejo they are still making cuts and lowering their budget. This guy doesn't make sense at all. Too late bud, you ruined California

"Governor Newsom seems to have mastered the art of multitasking—smoothing his hair while ignoring California's fires, scams, and environmental mess. Maybe his next big move should be applying to Canada, where he can compare slick hairstyles with Justin Trudeau! But if Newsom doesn’t pull his head out of his... well, let’s just say, the polls suggest he might be slicking back his hair for a farewell tour real soon. Time to clean up, Gavin—or you might be taking a very Canadian retirement plan!"

Why should Trump TRUST California to productively spend Federal monies? Where has Newsom shown that taxpayers dollars have been spent positively and produced actual results for the California citizens?
