In a presentation on the new measures, Newsom called several issues “California’s existential threats.” These included “fighting COVID with science,” “Combating the climate crisis,” “confronting homelessness,” “tackling the cost of living,” and “keeping our streets safe.”
The San Francisco Chronicle reported , “The governor said his budget will also include about $300 million to combat organized retail theft , increasingly brazen smash-and-grab crimes that have drawn national attention.”
The plan also has $255 million for a grant program to provide police with more resources to arrest and investigate burglars.
The governor is also attempting to control the wildfires in the state.
The Chronicle also reported that Newsom wants to put an additional $1.2 billion towards wildfire prevention programs, like actions to move brush out of overgrown forests. “This comes on top of $1.5 billion California set aside for forest management in the current budget,” the outlet noted.
One of the most controversial aspects of the proposal includes his expansion of Medi-Cal, the state’s health care service for low-income individuals.
On Monday, Newsom said , “California is poised to be, if this proposal is supported, the first state in the country to achieve universal access to health coverage. So what does that mean. It means full scope Medi-Cal including long term care, IHSS, to all low-income Californians regardless of immigration status, regardless of their age, regardless of their immigration status.”California started including immigrants who are 26 years of age and under in its Medicaid program a few years ago.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
