Ahead of his news conference, the governor announced that 2 out of every 3 Californians will get a stimulus check of at least $600, with families with kids getting an additional $500.
The plan would expand the Golden State Stimulus program, which sent $600 checks to low income residents, to millions more who earned no more than $75,000 annually, advisors told the Los Angeles Times.
Newsom will present his economic plan to lawmakers on Friday, and they will begin negotiations as a June 15 deadline to pass the budget nears.

He’s pulling out all the stops to beat the recall, set for this Fall sometime.
Newsom figures if he can give enough goodies to the voters, they’ll forget about his incompetence and let him stay in office. Meanwhile the state goes down the drain.
Well, the way the government prints money, it won't be worth more than confetti anyway.
Happy inflation everybody!
Well hell...any Californcation citizen can RIGHT NOW walk into a store and steal..$800 or so worth of merch....and nothing will happen to them.
Ding, ding, ding!
We have a winner!
It not his money
He doesn’t care
He needs more voters
In government care
It’s not his money
Don’t bore him with that
He’s not gonna pay a price
Even if handing out crack
Your federal dollars at work. Biden gives to them - he gives to the illegals...I guess either biden or dip s. is Robin Hood...
Yeah, that makes about as much sense as the "stimulus."
To illegals he means.
Yes, absolutely the reason. Also the reason state level R’s, barely lifted a finger or said a word and let the obvious fraud slide.
He could just say that he will give $10,000 to each non-white person in the state and the Democrats in the state legislature would pass it into law in about 12 hours.
He must have some kind of state property that he is going to release for sales.
Yes, it's foolish to squander tax dollars when the state is broke and can't repair infrastructure, never mind that CALPERS can't cover state pensions because it is broke. Will Newsom donate some of his millions?
Buying some votes as if they are needed.
Panem et circensus
Federal dollars. There was $500B for states to offset the $127B in lost tax revenue. So there's extra to pass around.
Discrimination against those of us who don’t have kids of never did.
blatant buying votes
Money ain’t free. It’s confiscated from the working... given to the takers.
Trying to buy popularity back in the face of the recall, that’s all this is.
Exactly.
