How the Governor Proposes to Respond to the Covid based Economic Crisis

 

Governor’s Proposed Budget Responds to Emergency Needs of the Pandemic, Misses Opportunities for Urgent and Ongoing Investments Governor Newsom's proposed 2021-22 budget is out, and the California Budget & Policy Center team is providing you our First Look analysis to break down the administration's policy proposals. Our analysis and take: While the administration’s proposals seek to address the challenges confronting many Californians amid the pandemic, the proposed spending plan misses opportunities to address other urgent and ongoing basic needs of Californians, particularly Californians with low incomes and people of color.  Ongoing investments in the 2021-22 state budget would help to allay the health and financial strains that millions of children, families, workers, and individuals will face in the months and years to come.
