https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article224201605.html"Newsoms office had previewed details of the proposed 2019-20 budget over the past few weeks, highlighting spending plans in health care and education programs.
Hes proposing nearly $2 billion for early learning programs. He also wants $40 million to fund a second year of free community college for first-time students enrolled full-time."
"To fund health insurance subsidies for middle-income families, Newsom is proposing reinstating the individual mandate, which requires people to have health insurance or pay a penalty. And he wants to let young immigrants without legal status to enroll in Medi-Cal, the states health insurance program for low-income people, until age 26.
Newsom is also asking for a $105 million increase in planned wildfire safety funding."
