It wasn't immediately clear if he would phase in the additional health coverage or how he planned to pay for it.California would be the first state to provide health coverage to all people, regardless of immigration status, under the budget Gov. Newsom proposed. Newsom also has pledged to spend $300 million on boosting law enforcement efforts to combat retail theft and another $2.7 billion to spend on things like coronavirus testing and hospital staffing.
To help with the ever-growing cost of living in California, Newsom proposed"doubling down" on the state's existing plan to provide free universal pre-kindergarten; adding thousands of child care slots and boosting to before, after and summer school programs. That deficit never happened. Instead, state revenues soared like never before. In September, collections from the state's three largest taxes - personal income, sales and corporation - were 40% higher than September 2020 and nearly 60% higher than September 2019, before the pandemic hit, according to the Legislative Analyst's Office.
