However, the estimated shortfall turned out to be $7 billion more than Newsom anticipated, leaving the governor to figure out how to tackle a $27.6 million deficit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are things we worked closely with the Legislature to advance,\u201d Newsom said of the cuts. \u201cNone of this is the kind of work you enjoy doing, but you\u2019ve got to do it. We have to be responsible. We have to be accountable.\u201d Many of the programs are those Newsom himself has supported.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom\u2019s proposal included $15.2 billion in cuts, $4.2 billion use of reserves, $14.8 billion from pausing program expansions, and $7.5 billion from borrowing nontax revenues, which will produce a $3.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/governor-proposes-teacher-raises-retention-bonuses\/\" title=\"Governor suggests increasing salaries and offering bonuses to retain teachers\">4 billion budget surplus<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>These budget cuts include $500 million earmarked for improving water storage, $272 million for employment services for the state\u2019s welfare program, $550 million from facility grants for building more spaces, which will host a new grade between preschool and kindergarten, and $1.4 billion limiting the state childcare expansion. A program providing scholarships to middle-class students pursuing teaching will be cut by $510 million.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Newsom will save $80.6 million by closing 46 housing units at 13 state prisons. The move comes as the state\u2019s prison population has dropped by nearly 25% since 2019, and the state is also in the process of closing its third prison.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom\u2019s proposal was also focused on fixing future budget shortfalls, including an estimated deficit of\u00a0 $28.4 billion in 2025-2026.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s, I think, appropriate and prudent for us not to just solve for this year but to also solve for next year,\u201d Newsom said. \u201cWe know what we know, but we don\u2019t know what we don\u2019t know. \u2026 This is why I believe we need to have a two-year mindset going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Legislators have until June 15 to approve a budget for the next fiscal year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Governor Gavin Newsom unveiled a revised $288 billion budget for 2024-2025, proposing cuts in 260 state programs, removal of 10,000 vacant roles, and the elimination of certain business tax deductions.
