Governor Newsom, Senate President pro Tempore Atkins and Assembly Speaker Rendon Announce Budget Agreement

Sacramento, CA...Governor Gavin Newsom, Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins (D-San Diego) and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) today issued the following statement after reaching an agreement on the framework for the 2022-23 state budget:




“California’s budget addresses the state’s most pressing needs, and prioritizes getting dollars back into the pockets of millions of Californians who are grappling with global inflation and rising prices of everything from gas to groceries.

“The centerpiece of the agreement, a $17 billion inflation relief package, will offer tax refunds to millions of working Californians. Twenty-three million Californians will benefit from direct payments of up to $1,050. The package will also include a suspension of the state sales tax on diesel, and additional funds to help people pay their rent and utility bills.

“In addition, California is doubling down in our response to the climate crisis – securing additional power-generating capacity for the summer, accelerating our clean energy future, expanding our ability to prepare for and respond to severe wildfires, extreme heat, and the continuing drought conditions that lie ahead.

“This budget builds on our unprecedented commitment to transform the resources available in our state, from a $47 billion multi-year infrastructure and transportation package to education and health care, showing the nation what a true pro-life agenda looks like. With these new investments, California will become the first state to achieve universal access to health care coverage. And in the wake of Friday’s stunning Supreme Court decision, the state is reaffirming its commitment to defending reproductive rights, providing more than $200 million in additional funding for reproductive health care services. The state will also be investing in key programs that help California families, from funding for homeownership programs and billions of dollars in additional ongoing funding for education, to universal preschool, children’s mental health, and free school meals.

“In the face of growing economic uncertainty, this budget invests in California’s values while further filling the state’s budget reserves and building in triggers for future state spending to ensure budget stability for years to come.”

    They don't even have to buy votes. The Dems own you little Republican bitches here. Heck, just WHO is the repube running for governor this year? Newsom beat all the contenders so badly last year they'll never recover.
    Suggestion... why don't all you California repubes get together, lay off the Trump sauce, and reconstruct the California Republican Party into something all citizens of this state and nation will be proud of, and willing to vote for?
    I'd actually like to see that, rather than the cult of dimwit traitors it has become.

THIS FIXES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

I'm getting really tired of my tax dollars being thrown out the window, like dollars in the street, Only as an attempt to buy votes from those who contribute nothing to this state.

Nothing is getting fixed or getting better. The state is corrupt and unsafe. Keeping people here that refuse to work or contribute by handing our tax dollars to them, is the worst possible thing that could happen. These people have no love for this state and will never contribute to bring it back to what it once was.

Newsom is the number one responsible for trashing this state! Vote him out!

    Makes more sense to give money directly to the taxpayers.
    Dotards will believe that illegal immigrants are getting that money. Or Scott Peterson and other incarcerated individuals. Or the homeless.
    Frickin dotards.

      The liberal fix for everything is to throw tax dollars at it. Brandon and the bunch are showing the others how to fix the economy. You may have hated President Trump but things were a lot better when he was around!
