Budget gap??? Newsom said the state is swimming in a surplus..

Whatever it is, it has to be closed. It’s not legal to run a deficit in CA.

“Government” revenue is generated by the private sector. The healthier the economy, the more reliably funded are government services. Many (many) people seem to be oblivious to this fact.

Yes apparently their huge federal bailout is all gone…probably to shore up exorbitant state pension funds.

The best thing for Californai would be if a meteor were to take out all of Sacramento.

If it weren’t for the Republican-induced climate change and the storm damage occurring to the state right now, California wouldn’t be having a budget problem. /s

California is now facing an estimated budget gap of $22.5 billion for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, which the governor attributed to declines in both withholding and capital gains taxes.

Caligula blew through the big Tiberius budget surplus in three years. Gavin Newsome blew through Moonbeam's budget surplus in three years.

Add in PERS and CA has a 1 Trillion PLUS debt.

It’s not cutting until lazy ass government employees are standing in the unemployment line. Lots of them.

[Cobra64]

His policies are forcing the taxpayer base to leave the state while importing and supporting illegals. Newsom is a mental midget.

[Vaduz]

His surplus you see how he lives and where.
