CAMBIA DE SUERTE: EL GOBERNADOR NEWSOM EXPLICA SU PLAN PARA LIDIAR CON EL DÉFICIT PRESUPUESTARIO

retrasará algunos compromisos de gastos, revertirá los pasos recientes para apuntalar su salud fiscal y cambiará las fuentes de financiamiento para limitar los recortes que debe hacer para cerrar un déficit presupuestario proyectado de $22,500 millones, dijo el 10 de enero el gobernador Gavin Newsom.
El déficit, ligeramente inferior a los $24 mil millones que los analistas financieros de la Legislatura estimaron en noviembre, no impedirá que el estado cumpla sus ambiciones de transformar la educación, la falta de vivienda, la asequibilidad de la vivienda y la atención médica, insistió el gobernador demócrata.
“Estamos cumpliendo nuestras promesas”, dijo Newsom durante una conferencia de prensa en Sacramento, donde dio a conocer su plan de gastos propuesto de $297 mil millones, aproximadamente un 3,6% menos que el presupuesto récord del año pasado. “Independientemente de este modesto déficit, continuamos realizando inversiones sin precedentes”.
Es un rápido cambio de suerte.
Hace seis meses, Newsom y los líderes legislativos alardeaban de un superávit de casi 100,000 millones de dólares, equivalente a todos los gastos anuales de la República Checa, la mitad disponible para fines discrecionales.
Las negociaciones se prolongaron durante semanas mientras deliberaban sobre cómo gastar la enorme ganancia inesperada, y finalmente acordaron expandir la red de seguridad social a más inmigrantes indocumentados, crear un nuevo sistema judicial para obligar a algunas personas sin hogar y con enfermedades mentales graves a recibir tratamiento y proporcionar reembolsos a la mayoría de los contribuyentes en el estado.
Pero la inflación en espiral y el debilitamiento del mercado de valores, particularmente en el sector tecnológico con sede en California, han empañado el pronóstico económico para el estado, que depende en gran medida de las ganancias de capital de sus residentes más ricos. El Departamento de Finanzas ahora espera que los ingresos fiscales totalicen $29.5 mil millones, o 9.6%, menos de lo que se asumió en el presupuesto del año pasado.
Muchas de las asignaciones fueron asignaciones únicas o aumentos de fondos que solo entrarían en vigencia en años futuros si las estimaciones de ingresos se mantuvieran, compromisos que ahora corren el mayor riesgo a medida que el estado se pregunta cómo equilibrar sus libros.
Newsom dijo que el estado no aprovecharía sus reservas de efectivo para abordar el déficit, citando “la incertidumbre de este próximo año” y la necesidad de mantener esos fondos en caso de una mayor recesión en el futuro, aunque su administración no está esperando una recesión.
“Estamos en un momento muy volátil”, dijo. “Como consecuencia de eso, no estamos tocando las reservas, porque tenemos un enfoque de espera para este presupuesto”.
Eso podría crear algún conflicto con la Legislatura abrumadoramente demócrata a medida que comiencen las negociaciones en los próximos meses. Newsom ofrecerá un plan de gastos revisado en mayo, después de que
las declaraciones de impuestos sobre la renta brinden una imagen financiera más clara, y los legisladores deben aprobar un presupuesto equilibrado antes del 15 de junio para recibir el pago.
Al señalar que las tendencias comerciales podrían reducir aún más los ingresos, el presidente de la Asamblea, Anthony Rendon, demócrata de Lakewood, dijo en un comunicado que “las grandes reservas construidas durante la última década pueden ser importantes para proteger las inversiones progresivas de California”.
En cambio, el gobernador ha propuesto retrasar $7,400 millones en gastos para años presupuestarios futuros y cambiar $4,300 millones en asignaciones a otras fuentes, como proyectos de construcción en los campus de la Universidad Estatal de California que ahora se pagarían con bonos.
Su propuesta de presupuesto también eliminaría $5,700 millones en gastos previamente financiados, incluidos $3,000 millones para abordar la inflación y $750 millones para pagar la deuda del seguro de desempleo, con otros $3,900 millones en recortes “activadores” que podrían revertirse el próximo año si el estado tiene suficiente dinero.
Estos se concentran en gran medida en el clima y el transporte, dijo Newsom, “debido a la magnitud de esos presupuestos”: los créditos para vehículos de cero emisiones y los programas de infraestructura recibirán $2.5 mil millones menos del fondo general en los próximos años, con aproximadamente la mitad de esas reducciones se compensan con dinero de las tarifas de los principales emisores de gases de efecto invernadero. El plan propone retirar $2 mil millones de proyectos ferroviarios locales y $350 millones de programas de vivienda.
Los grupos ambientalistas criticaron rápidamente la medida, especialmente porque las históricas tormentas que azotan al estado han expuesto aún más sus vulnerabilidades al cambio climático.
“California no puede permitirse un presupuesto miope”, dijo Mary Creasman, directora ejecutiva de California Environmental Voters,
en un comunicado. “Retrasar aún más estas inversiones agravará aún más la crisis climática y el costo de la inacción será mucho peor”.
A pesar de las preocupaciones planteadas por los defensores de los pobres, los servicios sociales no se tocan en gran medida en la propuesta de presupuesto del gobernador, aunque el portavoz Anthony York dijo que “nada está descartado si las cosas van mal”. Newsom también dijo que algunas de sus prioridades, incluida la implementación del kindergarten de transición universal, están “a toda velocidad”. Continuarían los pagos acelerados a los programas de pensiones públicas de California con fondos insuficientes. E incluso hay algunos gastos nuevos propuestos en el plan, incluidos $1,000 millones para ayudar a los gobiernos locales a abordar la falta de vivienda, $202 millones para mejoras de seguridad contra inundaciones, $97 millones para combatir el tráfico de fentanilo y $3.5 millones para comprar medicamentos para revertir la sobredosis de opioides para cada escuela secundaria y preparatoria. en el estado.
Los republicanos legislativos, que como superminoría en ambas cámaras casi no juegan un papel en la elaboración del presupuesto de California, aplaudieron a Newsom por dejar intactos los fondos de reserva, pero criticaron duramente sus prioridades. Muchos notaron que su propuesta de presupuesto no incluía dinero adicional para proyectos de almacenamiento de agua mientras el estado lucha para navegar el latigazo constante de la sequía y las inundaciones.
“California no está en un camino sostenible”, dijo en un comunicado el senador estatal Roger Niello, un republicano de Fair Oaks que se desempeña como vicepresidente del comité de presupuesto. “El estado debe hacer una pausa y abordar las necesidades reales de los californianos”.
Nuevas inversiones en protección contra inundaciones
Con las inundaciones en mente, también está en el presupuesto propuesto por el gobernador, que incluye nuevas inversiones en preparación y respuesta ante inundaciones. Incluye una asignación de fondos generales

Los diques de Delta también recibirían un impulso, con un fondo de $40.6 millones disponibles para reparaciones y actualizaciones. Este fondo de efectivo también apoyaría la restauración del hábitat y los proyectos de infraestructura que protegen los suministros de agua del Delta de la intrusión de agua salada, una amenaza del aumento del nivel del mar. El presupuesto también apoya la protección contra inundaciones del Valle Central con una inversión de $25 millones, específicamente para la reducción del riesgo de inundaciones para las comunidades, la restauración de ecosistemas y la agricultura sostenible.

Recortes en programas climáticos clave
El presupuesto propuesto por Newsom recorta $6 mil millones para iniciativas climáticas, incluida la reducción del gasto en una de sus principales prioridades climáticas: aumentar los vehículos de cero emisiones. Más de la mitad de los recortes para el clima, $3,300 millones, provendrían de las iniciativas de transporte limpio del estado. Newsom propone recortar $2.5 mil millones de la construcción de infraestructura de vehículos de cero emisiones, y alrededor de $1.4 mil millones de esa cantidad se transferirían al fondo estatal de límites máximos y comercio pagado por las compañías de combustibles fósiles. Los recortes de estos programas también afectarían la construcción de infraestructura para vehículos pesados, una inversión muy necesaria ya que el estado considera otra propuesta ambiciosa para prohibir las ventas de camiones diésel altamente contaminantes e introducir modelos de cero emisiones. Otros $2.2 mil millones en fondos serían eliminados del transporte que incluye gastos para proyectos ferroviarios y de tránsito.
Si bien Newsom espera compensar esas reducciones con fondos federales y una posible reserva de bonos, la medida se produce solo cinco meses después de que el estado impusiera un mandato histórico para hacer eléctricos los automóviles. Newsom, quien se ha calificado a sí mismo como un líder climático mundial, ayudó a impulsar un paquete climático de $54 mil millones aprobado por la Legislatura durante la sesión del año pasado. La inversión masiva en energía limpia tiene como objetivo cumplir con los agresivos objetivos de descarbonización del estado. Pero ahora, el déficit presupuestario se interpone en su camino.

A toda velocidad en pre kínder
Una combinación de nuevas fuentes de financiación y la disminución de la inscripción ayudó a suavizar el golpe al presupuesto de educación K-12 del estado en la propuesta del gobernador. El resultado neto: gasto por alumno ligeramente superior, pero menor poder adquisitivo debido a la inflación.
El presupuesto de Newsom proporcionaría a las escuelas $108,800 millones en fondos de la Proposición 98 para escuelas K-12

y colegios comunitarios, una disminución
Después de años de superávits presupuestarios récord en California, el gobernador Newsom describe un plan para lidiar con un déficit que se proyecta será de unos $22,500
Él dice que puede cumplir sus grandes promesas a pesar del “déficit modesto”

de $1,500 millones con respecto al presupuesto del año pasado. La Prop. 98, que se aprobó en 1988, garantiza que un porcentaje del fondo general del estado se destine a las escuelas K-14.
Pero el presupuesto de educación K-12 también refleja un ajuste del costo de vida de alrededor del 8%. Esto significaría otro año récord para la financiación por alumno en California: $23,723 en total con $17,519 provenientes de la Prop. 98 dólares. Newsom dijo que sigue comprometido con la implementación de programas educativos emblemáticos, en particular, el kindergarten de transición universal. El presupuesto propuesto, como parte de las inversiones en curso, agregará $690 millones para ayudar a los distritos a desarrollar su capacidad hasta que se les exija ofrecer kínder de transición a todos los estudiantes para el año escolar 2025-26.

Pero no es un panorama agradable para la educación artística. A pesar de las nuevas fuentes de financiación para la enseñanza del arte y la música, las escuelas públicas del estado recibirían menos dinero para enseñar estas materias.
Gracias a la Proposición 28, que los votantes aprobaron en noviembre, el estado proporcionará una cantidad equivalente al 1% de la garantía de la Proposición 98 para la educación artística y musical. En 2023, eso equivale a unos 941 millones de dólares. Pero eso no será suficiente para compensar un recorte de $1.200 millones para las artes, la música y la subvención discrecional de materiales didácticos introducida en el presupuesto del año pasado.
Y aunque una de las principales críticas a la Prop. 28 fue que no creó una nueva fuente de ingresos, nunca tuvo la intención de usarse como un amortiguador para los recortes presupuestarios. Richard Barrera, miembro de la junta escolar del Distrito Unificado de San Diego, dijo que espera ver al menos algunos de esos fondos restaurados en la propuesta de presupuesto revisada de mayo de Newsom.
“Como estrategia de presupuesto y contabilidad, no es sorprendente”, dijo. “Pero creo que está claro que los californianos quieren ver una mayor financiación para la educación artística y musical”.

Más para la educación superior ¿Ajustarse el cinturón? No tanto en la educación superior.
La Universidad de California y el sistema de la Universidad Estatal de California recibirían cada uno un 5% más en apoyo estatal para sus compromisos educativos básicos, de acuerdo con la promesa que Newsom hizo el año pasado de que impulsaría un crecimiento anual del 5% durante cinco años siempre que cada sistema cumple con varios objetivos de graduación. La UC también recibiría $30 millones para inscribir a menos estudiantes no residentes para dejar espacio a los californianos .
Los colegios comunitarios verían una afluencia de aproximadamente $750 millones en fondos nuevos y continuos. La confederación de 116 universidades también compartiría $200 millones para revertir una fuerte disminución de inscripción del 16% desde el inicio de la pandemia de COVID-19. Sin embargo, Newsom advirtió a las universidades que si no comienzan a mostrar un crecimiento en la inscripción pronto, su administración puede
“ajustar” los presupuestos del distrito para 2024-25.La ayuda financiera también saldría ilesa; de hecho, el gobernador promete honrar un acuerdo el año pasado para aumentar la nueva Beca de Clase Media “libre de deudas” en $227 millones en 2023-24 para un total de $859 millones.
Pero algunas de las principales prioridades legislativas de los últimos años se verían afectadas si se aprueba este presupuesto.
En particular, Newsom propone retrasar $1.15 mil millones en nuevos fondos asequibles para viviendas estudiantiles para los colegios y universidades públicas del estado. Esta medida pone de relieve la frecuencia con la que los planes presupuestarios que prometen financiación futura se retrasan o eliminan. Aún así, según el plan de Newsom, $500 millones en dinero de subvenciones para viviendas nuevas permanecerían en el presupuesto 2023-24, mientras que los $900 millones planificados para un préstamo sin intereses a los campus para construir viviendas se financiarían en 2025-26. La mayoría de los préstamos previstos para 2024-25 permanecerían intactos.
Un defensor legislativo clave de la entrada del estado en viviendas para estudiantes dijo que presionará para que la financiación completa permanezca en el presupuesto 2023-24 en las negociaciones entre los legisladores y el gobernador. “Dos de los puntos principales de la agenda de la Legislatura han sido la vivienda y la asequibilidad universitaria” y la vivienda estudiantil subsidiada por el estado “aborda ambas cosas”, dijo el asambleísta Kevin McCarty, demócrata de Sacramento y presidente del subcomité de educación del presupuesto de la Asamblea.
Newsom también propone retrasar el codiciado dinero para la construcción del campus, incluidos $83 millones para UC Merced y UC Riverside, campus que han argumentado durante mucho tiempo que no tienen fondos suficientes. en comparación con el resto de la UC. En cambio, los campus recibirían ese dinero en 2024-25 según el plan de Newsom.

Las ampliaciones a la red de seguridad son mantenidas en su mayoría
La propuesta de Newsom conserva un plan exclusivo para expandir la atención médica gratuita a los inmigrantes indocumentados de bajos ingresos de todas las edades para el próximo enero, a un costo de $844 millones en el próximo año fiscal. E incluye aumentos a CalWORKs, el programa de asistencia monetaria del estado para familias de bajos ingresos con niños, ya los Pagos Suplementarios del Estado, que proporciona beneficios para personas mayores y discapacitados.
Pero la propuesta ha decepcionado a los defensores de los inmigrantes al retrasar un plan pionero en la nación para expandir la asistencia alimentaria a los inmigrantes indocumentados mayores . Se esperaba que los beneficios se pagarán a finales de este año; El presupuesto de Newsom los empujaría hasta 2027.

La falta de vivienda sigue siendo una prioridad
La vivienda y la falta de vivienda siguen estando entre las principales preocupaciones del estado, y Newsom está presupuestando en consecuencia, a pesar del déficit proyectado.
En los últimos dos años, la administración ha invertido miles de millones de dólares para subsidiar la construcción de viviendas asequibles, brindar refugio temporal a las personas que viven en las calles, alentar a los gobiernos locales a dispersarse y limpiar los campamentos y hacer cumplir las leyes estatales de vivienda
a pesar de las objeciones de algunos gobiernos locales . .
La propuesta de este año ahorra la mayor parte de ese gasto del tajo. El desembolso propuesto solo para personas sin hogar suma $15.3 mil millones. Eso incluye $1 mil millones adicionales en subvenciones para gobiernos locales.
“Estamos cumpliendo con eso, sin recortes”, dijo Newsom.
Eso no fue suficiente para algunos inquilinos y activistas contra la pobreza. Christina Livingston, directora ejecutiva de Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, calificó el plan de gastos del gobernador como una “bofetada” que “lamentablemente no logra abordar la crisis”.
El gobernador hizo todo lo posible para enfatizar que el dinero vendría con condiciones: “Queremos más responsabilidad. La gente acaba de tenerlo. Queremos ver estos campamentos limpios”.
Esta no es la primera vez que Newsom culpa a los gobiernos locales por el pésimo historial del estado en sacar a las personas de las calles y trasladarlas a refugios o viviendas más permanentes. Justo antes del día de las elecciones, el gobernador amenazó brevemente con retener $1,000 millones en fondos para los gobiernos locales por lo que llamó su incapacidad para “dar grandiosos resultados”.
En el nuevo plan de gastos de su administración, el gobernador dijo que las nuevas subvenciones relacionadas con personas sin hogar solo se otorgarían a los gobiernos locales que cumplan con la ley estatal de vivienda. La administración también quiere impulsar una nueva legislación que obligue a los locales que buscan estos fondos a proporcionar más detalles sobre cómo planean gastar el dinero. Ese enfoque retórico no fue apreciado por algunos en el gobierno local, incluido el alcalde de Emeryville, John Bauters, quien criticó al gobernador por no nombrar a un “zar” de personas sin hogar, una promesa de campaña de 2018. “Te hace parecer tonto señalar ahora con el dedo”, tuiteó a Newsom .
Pero Michael Lane, director de política estatal de SPUR, una organización sin fines de lucro de planificación urbana a favor del desarrollo, dijo que acogía con satisfacción el puesto de Newsom. “Todavía tenemos jurisdicciones locales arrastrando los pies y, sin embargo, gritando por miles de millones de dólares”, dijo. “Queremos la responsabilidad con el dinero y esos deben ir juntos. Esa es la única forma en que vamos a abordar la crisis humanitaria”.

Ambiciones de vivienda reducidas
El presupuesto propuesto por Newsom eliminaría $350 millones de los programas de vivienda destinados a ayudar a los compradores de vivienda por primera vez y aumentar las viviendas asequibles, y repetiría el edicto del estado para 2,5 millones de nuevas unidades, incluido 1 millón asequible, para 2030, frente a los 3,5 millones en total. Eso incluye sacar $200 millones de los $500 millones previamente presupuestados del programa estatal recientemente creado “Dream for All”.
Ese programa fue presentado el año pasado por el presidente interino del Senado estatal, Toni Atkins, como un programa de pago inicial de $1 mil millones al año para compradores primerizos, aunque solo recibió la mitad repartida en dos años. El programa, que aún no se ha lanzado, tiene como objetivo proporcionar a los compradores primerizos todo el dinero que necesitan para el pago inicial, o una cantidad muy cercana, a cambio de participaciones de propiedad parcial en esas propiedades.
Las reducciones propuestas por el gobernador también incluyen $100 millones del Programa CalHome del estado, que proporciona subvenciones a agencias locales y organizaciones sin fines de lucro que ayudan a compradores de viviendas de bajos ingresos. La propuesta del gobernador también elimina $50 millones en fondos de un programa que otorga subvenciones para la construcción de unidades para suegros, casas de campo y unidades secundarias.

Cambios a Medi-Cal y Covered California
Se prevé que Medi-Cal, el programa de seguro médico del estado para californianos de bajos ingresos, cubra a más de un tercio de la población del estado este año, y Newsom propone un impuesto renovado a las aseguradoras de salud para compensar el costo de las expansiones planificadas.
El Managed Care Organization Tax expiró en diciembre, y con él aproximadamente $1,500 millones en ingresos anuales del fondo general. Su presupuesto propuesto incluye $1.3 mil millones en fondos de brecha para el presupuesto total de $138.9 mil millones de MediCal mientras los legisladores llegan a un acuerdo para reintroducir el impuesto, dijo Newsom. Renovar el impuesto sobre los planes de salud ayudaría a evitar recortes a la elogiada expansión del seguro de Newsom para inmigrantes indocumentados de bajos ingresos de todas las edades, que tiene un precio de $844 millones en el próximo año fiscal.
Los gastos inferiores a los anticipados en 2022-23 y el apoyo federal adicional para la transformación de Medi-Cal de varios años del estado conocida como CalAIM, que incluye seguro médico para prisioneros, también ayudan a suavizar el golpe de una inversión de fondo general propuesta de $6.4 mil millones.
Newsom también propuso transferir temporalmente $333,4 millones de un fondo de reserva destinado a compensar el aumento de los costos de las primas de seguro médico para las familias de ingresos medios que compran un seguro a través de Covered California. Los subsidios federales se extendieron hasta 2025. El dinero se devolverá cuando se agote el dinero federal, dijo Newsom, pero los defensores de la salud expresaron su consternación por el desarrollo.
“La ayuda para la asequibilidad de la atención médica para los californianos de clase media es más necesaria en una recesión económica, no menos”, dijo Diana Douglas, directora de defensa política y legislativa de Health Access California, en un comunicado. “Los cientos de millones recaudados en el Fondo de Reserva de Asequibilidad de Atención Médica de quienes no tienen cobertura deberían destinarse directamente a la reducción de costos en Covered California, como costos compartidos y deducibles, para garantizar que más personas puedan pagar y usar su cobertura”.

La salud pública recibe un golpe Ajustarse el cinturón se apoyará en una estrategia bien conocida de recortar los fondos de salud pública con un recorte propuesto de $1,200 millones al presupuesto del Departamento de Salud Pública de California en comparación con los fondos del año pasado de $6,700 millones, a pesar de las críticas generalizadas de que décadas de recortes y falta de fondos paralizaron temprano respuesta a la pandemia de COVID-19 .
La mayor parte de la disminución proviene de una transferencia de $614 millones de dólares de ayuda de emergencia COVID-19 al fondo general. Ese dinero, que se asignó como par-

te de la estrategia COVID-19 a largo plazo del estado de $1.8 mil millones conocida como el plan SMARTER, no se ha gastado, dijo el secretario de Salud y Servicios Humanos, Dr. Mark Ghaly, durante una conferencia de prensa. El presupuesto de este año propone un precio mucho más bajo para la respuesta estatal al COVID-19 de $176,6 millones.
“Esto no pretende ser una declaración sobre dejar atrás el COVID en California”, dijo Ghaly. “Hemos resaltado una y otra vez el enfoque en el plan SMARTER y cómo guiará nuestro camino según sea necesario y según sea necesario”.

Los nuevos programas de capacitación de la fuerza laboral de salud pública absorberían un recorte de $50 millones, dejando solo $25.8 millones para capacitar a microbiólogos y epidemiólogos y enfermeras de salud pública. Con el tiempo, los programas serían desfinanciados por completo, para consternación de los líderes locales de salud pública que se unieron el año pasado por el dinero, citando docenas de vacantes en todo el estado y muy pocas oportunidades de capacitación.
Harold Goldstein, director ejecutivo de Public Health Advocates, calificó el recorte propuesto como “peligrosamente miope”. “La lección más evidente de la pandemia de COVID es que los recortes en la fuerza laboral de salud pública podrían ahorrar algunos dólares hoy, pero le costarán al estado una fortuna, en dinero y en vidas, en los próximos años”, agregó en una declaración.
Newsom y los funcionarios enfatizaron que el estado continúa con su inversión en salud pública a través de una subvención de infraestructura de $300 millones, la mayor parte de la cual se transfiere a los departamentos de salud locales.
“Esos dólares fueron muy peleados porque son dólares fundacionales. Una gran cantidad de esos dólares se enfocarán menos en la capacitación y se asegurarán de que haya buenos trabajos disponibles en la salud pública local”, dijo Ghaly.

Un nuevo enfoque en la crisis del fentanilo La justicia penal es a menudo la parte del presupuesto que responde mejor a lo que la gente ve en las noticias nocturnas locales. El año pasado, esas preocupaciones se centraron en el ferrocarril y el robo minorista organizado. Los espectadores se vieron inundados con imágenes nocturnas de productos comerciales esparcidos por las estaciones de ferrocarril y con imágenes de vigilancia de bandas de ladrones flash mob en los grandes almacenes del Área de la Bahía.
Este año, el foco es el fentanilo. Newsom dijo que está asignando a 113 miembros de la Guardia Nacional de California para la interdicción de fentanilo en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México y en todo el estado. El fiscal general Rob Bonta, que tomó posesión de su primer mandato completo este mes, también crearía un grupo de trabajo sobre el fentanilo en el Departamento de Justicia según la propuesta.

Más cierres de prisiones
Después de una sesión legislativa en la que se consideraron y descartaron nuevos enfoques para el bienestar de los prisioneros en medio
de la oposición de los alguaciles del condado y el sindicato que representa a los guardias penitenciarios, el Departamento de Correccionales y Rehabilitación de California avanzó rápidamente con planes para reducir la población carcelaria general del estado. Algunas de esas reducciones propuestas provendrán del cierre de alas individuales dentro de seis prisiones estatales mientras el estado continúa con sus intentos de cerrar el Centro Correccional de California en Susanville y finalizar su contrato de arrendamiento en el Centro Correccional de la Ciudad de California, el último centro penitenciario de propiedad privada del estado. Newsom dijo que los cierres propuestos le ahorrarían al estado $150 millones en este ciclo presupuestario.
La propuesta de presupuesto también incluye $11,6 millones para cámaras fijas y corporales en varias instituciones, una perspectiva que el estado ha combatido durante años en los tribunales .

Incertidumbre económica por delante
¿Qué le deparará el próximo año a la economía de California? Newsom osciló entre el optimismo, diciendo que California estaba mejor preparada para capear una recesión que otros estados y que “no tenía absolutamente ningún temor sobre el destino y el futuro de California”, y reconociendo la incertidumbre económica del próximo año, señalando los despidos de la industria tecnológica y el aumento de deudas de tarjetas de crédito
La incertidumbre económica, dijo Newsom, es la razón por la que su propuesta de presupuesto no implica sumergirse en la reserva estatal para días lluviosos para cerrar el déficit presupuestario.
Un elemento en el tajo: dinero del estado para ayudar a pagar la deuda de beneficios por desempleo de $18.7 mil millones de dólares de California. Esa es una deuda que el estado tiene con el gobierno federal, que se abalanzó con un préstamo cuando los californianos recurrieron en masa a los beneficios de desempleo al principio de la pandemia y el sistema se quedó sin dinero rápidamente. Está previsto que la deuda se pague mediante un aumento de los impuestos federales a los empleadores de California, pero el año pasado el gobierno estatal invirtió algo de dinero para reducir la deuda, y en ese momento prometió que contribuiría con otros $750 millones para reducir la deuda general más $500 millones para compensar el costo del aumento de impuestos para las pequeñas empresas este año. Ahora, Newsom propone cortar ambos.
El gobernador también propuso algunos recortes más pequeños a los programas de fuerza laboral, incluido el recorte de una inversión planificada de $25 millones en alcance a trabajadores y empleadores en industrias con alto riesgo de COVID y una reducción presupuestaria de $40 millones durante los próximos dos años para aprendizajes no tradicionales.
Pero no todo fueron recortes: Newsom propuso contratar a más trabajadores para el Departamento de Relaciones Industriales, que cuenta con poco personal, para atender una acumulación de reclamos salariales impagos. Y propuso continuar con la financiación de los esfuerzos para modernizar el asediado Departamento de Desarrollo del Empleo de California, que está a cargo de pagar los beneficios de desempleo, además de seguir invirtiendo en la detección de fraudes.

REVERSAL OF FORTUNE: GOV. NEWSOM OUTLINES PLAN TO DEAL WITH BUDGET DEFICIT
After years of record California budget surpluses, Gov. Newsom outlines a plan to deal with a deficit he projects at $22.5 billion. He says he can keep his big promises despite the “modest shortfall”
Alexei Koseff CalMatters
California
will delay some spending commitments, reverse recent steps to shore up its fiscal health and shift funding sources to limit the cuts it must make to close a projected $22.5 billion budget deficit, Gov. Gavin Newsom said last week.
The shortfall, slightly less than the $24 billion that financial analysts for the Legislature estimated in November, will not prevent the state from fulfilling its ambitions of transforming education, homelessness, housing affordability and health care, the Democratic governor insisted.
“We’re keeping our promises,” Newsom said during a press conference in Sacramento, where he unveiled his proposed $297 billion spending plan, about 3.6% smaller than last year’s record budget. “Regardless of this modest shortfall, we’re continuing to make unprecedented investments.”
It’s a swift reversal of fortune.
Six months ago, Newsom and legislative leaders were crowing about a surplus of nearly $100 billion — equivalent to the entire annual expenditures of the Czech Republic — half of it available for discretionary purposes.
Negotiations dragged on for weeks as they deliberated over how to spend the massive windfall, ultimately agreeing to expand the social safety net to more undocumented immigrants, create a new court system to compel some homeless and severely mentally ill people into treatment, and provide refunds to most taxpayers in the state.
But spiraling inflation and a weakening stock market, particularly in the California-based tech sector, has clouded the economic forecast for the state, which depends heavily on capital gains from its wealthiest residents. The Department of Finance now expects that tax revenues will total $29.5 billion, or 9.6%, less than what was assumed in last year’s budget.
Many of the appropriations were one-time allotments or funding increases that would only
take effect in future years if revenue estimates held up — commitments that are now at the greatest risk as the state puzzles over how to balance its books.
Newsom said that the state would not tap into its cash reserves to address the deficit, citing “the uncertainty of this next calendar year” and the need to maintain those funds in case of a greater downturn in the future, though his administration is not expecting a recession.
“We’re in a very volatile moment,” he said. “As a consequence of that, we’re not touching the reserves, because we have a wait-and-see approach to this budget.”
That could create some conflict with the overwhelmingly Democratic Legislature as negotiations begin in the months ahead. Newsom will offer a revised spending plan in May, after income tax filings provide a clearer financial picture, and lawmakers must pass a balanced budget by June 15 in order to get paid.
Noting that business trends could drive revenues even lower, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, a Lakewood Democrat, said in a statement that “the large reserves built over the last decade may be important for protecting California’s progressive investments.”
Instead, the governor has proposed to delay $7.4 billion in spending to future budget years and shift $4.3 billion in appropriations to other sources, such as construction projects on California State University campuses that would now be paid for with bonds.
His budget proposal would also eliminate $5.7 billion in previously funded expenditures, including $3 billion to address inflation and $750 million to pay down unemployment insurance debt, with another $3.9 billion in “trigger” cuts that could be reversed next year if the state has enough money.
Those are largely concentrated on climate and transportation, Newsom said, “because of the magnitude of those budgets”: Zero-emission vehicle credits and infrastructure programs are set to receive $2.5 billion less from the general fund in the coming years, with about half of those reductions offset with

money from fees on major greenhouse gas emitters. The plan proposes to pull back $2 billion from local rail projects and $350 million from housing programs.
Environmental groups quickly slammed the move, especially as historic rainstorms blanketing the state have further exposed its vulnerabilities to climate change.
“California can’t afford a short-sighted budget,” Mary Creasman, CEO of California Environmental Voters, said in a statement. “To further delay these investments will further compound the climate crisis and the cost of inaction will be far worse.”
Despite concerns raised by advocates for the poor, social services are largely untouched in the governor’s budget proposal, though spokesperson Anthony York said that “nothing is off the table if things go south.” Newsom also said some of his priorities, including the rollout of universal transitional kindergarten, are “full-speed ahead.”
Accelerated payments to California’s underfunded public pension programs would continue. And there is even some new spending proposed in the plan, including $1 billion to help local governments address homelessness, $202 million for flood safety improvements, $97 million to combat fentanyl trafficking and $3.5 million to purchase opioid overdose reversal medication for every middle and high school in the state.
Legislative Republicans, who as a super-minority in both houses play almost no role in crafting California’s budget, applauded Newsom for leaving reserve funds untouched but sharply criticized his priorities. Many noted that his budget proposal included no additional money for water storage projects as the state struggles to navigate the constant whiplash of drought and flood.
“California is not on a sustainable path,” state Sen. Roger Niello, a Fair Oaks Republican who serves as vice chairperson of the budget committee, said in a statement. “The state must take pause and address the real needs of Californians.”

With flooding on our minds, it’s also in the governor’s proposed budget, which includes new investments in flood preparedness and response. It includes a two-year, $135 million general fund allocation for “local agencies working to reduce urban flood risk.”

Delta levees would get a boost, too, with a pot of $40.6 million available for repairs and upgrades. This cash pool would also support habitat restoration and infrastructure projects that protect Delta water supplies from saltwater intrusion — one threat of rising sea levels. The budget also supports Central Valley flood protection with a $25 million investment, specifically to flood risk reduction for communities, ecosystem restoration and sustainable agriculture.

Cuts in key climate programs
Newsom’s proposed budget slashes $6 billion for climate initiatives, including reduced spending on one of his top climate priorities — ramping up zero emission vehicles.
More than half of the cuts for climate — $3.3 billion — would come from the state’s clean transportation initiatives. Newsom is propos-
ing to cut $2.5 billion from zero emission vehicle infrastructure build-out, and about $1.4 billion of that amount would be shifted to the state’s cap-and-trade fund paid into by fossil fuel companies. The cuts from these programs would also affect the construction of heavy-duty vehicle infrastructure, a muchneeded investment as the state considers another ambitious proposal to ban sales of high-polluting diesel trucks and phase in zeroemission models. Another $2.2 billion in funds would be gutted from transportation that includes spending for rail and transit projects.
While Newsom hopes to offset those reductions with federal funds and a potential bond reserve, the move comes just five months after the state imposed a historic mandate for electrifying cars. Newsom, who has branded himself as a global climate leader, helped push a $54 billion climate package approved by the Legislature during last year’s session. The massive clean energy investment aims to meet the state’s aggressive decarbonization goals. But now, the budget deficit is getting in his way.

Full speed ahead on pre-K
A combination of new funding sources and declining enrollment helped soften the blow to the state’s K-12 education budget in the gov-
ernor’s proposal. The net result: slightly higher per-pupil spending, but less spending power due to inflation.
Newsom’s budget would provide schools $108.8 billion in Proposition 98 funding for K-12 schools and community colleges, a $1.5 billion decrease from last year’s budget. Prop. 98, which passed in 1988, guarantees a percentage of the state’s general fund goes to K-14 schools.
But the K-12 education budget also reflects a cost-of-living adjustment of about 8%. This would mean another record-breaking year for per-pupil funding in California: $23,723 overall with $17,519 coming from Prop. 98 dollars.
Newsom said he remains committed to implementing flagship education programs, notably universal transitional kindergarten. The proposed budget, as a part of ongoing investments, will add $690 million to help districts build capacity until they’re required to offer transitional kindergarten to all students by the 2025-26 school year.
But it’s not a pretty picture for arts education. Despite new funding sources for art and music instruction, the state’s public schools would get less money to teach these subjects.
Thanks to Proposition 28, which voters approved in November, the state will provide
an amount equal to 1% of the Proposition 98 guarantee for arts and music education. In 2023, that comes out to about $941 million. But that won’t be enough to offset a $1.2 billion cut to arts, music and instructional materials discretionary block grant introduced in last year’s budget.
And while one of the main criticisms of Prop. 28 was that it didn’t create a new revenue source, it was never meant to be used as a buffer for budget cuts. Richard Barrera, a school board member at San Diego Unified, said he hopes to see at least some of that funding restored in Newsom’s May revised budget proposal.
“As a budget and accounting strategy, it’s not surprising,” he said. “But I think it’s clear Californians want to see increased funding for arts and music education.”

More for higher education
Belt-tightening? Not so much in higher education.
The University of California and the California State University system would each receive 5% more in state support for their core educational commitments, consistent with a promise Newsom made last year that he’d push for annual growth of 5% for five years provided that each system makes good on various graduation goals. The UC would also receive $30 million to enroll fewer non-resident students to make room for Californians.
Community colleges would see an influx of roughly $750 million in new, ongoing funding. The confederation of 116 colleges would also share $200 million to reverse a sharp 16% enrollment decline since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Newsom warned colleges that if they don’t start showing enrollment growth soon, his administration may “adjust” district budgets by 2024-25.
Financial aid would also go unscathed; in fact, the governor is promising to honor a deal last year to grow the new “debt-free” Middle Class Scholarship by $227 million in 2023-24 for a total of $859 million.
But some major legislative priorities of past years would take a hit if this budget is approved.
Notably, Newsom is proposing to delay $1.15 billion in new affordable student housing money for the state’s public colleges and universities. This move underscores how often budget plans that promise future funding get delayed or axed. Still, under Newsom’s plan, $500 million in new housing grant money would remain in the 2023-24 budget, while the planned $900 million for an interest-free loan to campuses to build housing would instead be funded in 2025-26. Most of the loans planned for 2024-25 would remain intact.
A key legislative proponent of the state’s entry into student housing said he’ll push for the full funding to remain in the 2023-24 budget in negotiations between lawmakers and the governor. “Two of the top agenda items for the Legislature have been housing and college affordability” and state-subsidized student housing “addresses both those two things,” said Assemblymember Kevin McCarty, a Democrat from Sacramento who’s chairperson of the Assembly budget subcommittee on education.
Newsom also proposes to delay highly coveted campus construction money — including $83 million for UC Merced and UC Riverside, campuses that have long argued they’re underfunded compared to the rest of the

UC. The campuses would instead receive that money in 2024-25 under Newsom’s plan.

Safety net expansions mostly maintained Newsom’s proposal preserves a signature plan to expand free health care to low-income undocumented immigrants of all ages by next January, at the cost of $844 million in the next fiscal year. And it includes increases to CalWORKs, the state’s cash aid program for lowincome families with children, and to State Supplementary Payments, which provides benefits for seniors and the disabled.
But the proposal has disappointed immigrants’ advocates in delaying a first-in-thenation plan to expand food assistance to older undocumented immigrants. Benefits were expected to be paid late this year; Newsom’s budget would push them off to 2027.
— Jeanne Kuang
Homelessness still a top priority
Housing and homelessness remain among the state’s top concerns, and Newsom is budgeting accordingly — projected deficit notwithstanding. In the last two years, the administration has shoveled billions of dollars toward subsidizing affordable housing construction, providing temporary shelter for people living on the streets, encouraging local governments to disperse and clean up encampments and enforcing state housing laws over the objections of some local governments.
This year’s proposal spares most of that spending from the chopping block. The proposed outlay on homelessness alone adds up to $15.3 billion. That includes an additional $1 billion in grants for local governments.
“We’re following through on that — no cuts,” Newsom said.
That wasn’t sufficient for some tenant and anti-poverty activists. Christina Livingston, executive director of the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, called the governor’s spending plan a “slap in the face” that “falls woefully short of addressing the crisis.”
The governor went out of his way to emphasize that the money would come with strings attached: “We want more accountability. People have just had it. We want to see these encampments cleaned up.”
This isn’t the first time Newsom has blamed local governments for the state’s dismal track record in getting people off the streets and into shelters or more permanent housing. Just before Election Day, the governor briefly threatened to withhold $1 billion in funding to local governments over what he called their inability to “deliver damn results.”
In his administration’s new spending plan, the governor said that new homeless-related grants would only be awarded to local governments that comply with state housing law. The administration also wants to push for new legislation that would force locals seeking these funds to provide more detail on how they plan to spend the money.
That rhetorical approach wasn’t appreciated by some in local government, including Emeryville Mayor John Bauters, who criticized the governor for failing to appoint a homelessness “czar” — a 2018 campaign pledge. It “makes you look silly to now point fingers,” he tweeted at Newsom.
But Michael Lane, state policy director for SPUR, a pro-development urban planning nonprofit, said he welcomed Newsom’s posi-
tion. “We still have local jurisdictions dragging their feet and yet yelling for billions of dollars,” he said. “We want the accountability with the money and those need to go together. That’s the only way we’re going to address the humanitarian crisis.”
— Ben Christopher Housing ambitions scaled back Newsom’s proposed budget would remove $350 million from housing programs aimed at helping first-time homebuyers and boosting affordable housing — and repeated the state’s edict for 2.5 million new units, including 1 million affordable, by 2030, down from 3.5 million total. That includes taking $200 million out of a previously budgeted $500 million from the state’s newly created “Dream for All” program.
That program was pitched last year by state Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins as a $1-billion-a-year down payment program for first-time buyers, though it only received half that spread over two years. The program, which has not launched, is intended to provide first-time buyers either all of the money they need for a down payment, or very close to it, in exchange for partial ownership stakes in those properties.
The governor’s proposed reductions also include a $100 million from the state’s CalHome Program, which provides grants to local agencies and nonprofits assisting low income homebuyers. The governor’s proposal also removes $50 million in funding from a program that provides grants for the construction of in-law units, backyard cottages and secondary units.

Changes to Medi-Cal and Covered California
Medi-Cal, the state’s health insurance program for low-income Californians, is projected to cover more than one-third of the state’s population this year, and Newsom is proposing a renewed tax on health insurers to offset the cost of planned expansions.
The Managed Care Organization Tax expired in December, and with it approximately $1.5 billion in annual general fund revenue. His proposed budget includes $1.3 billion in gap funding towards Medi-Cal’s total $138.9 billion budget while lawmakers work out a deal to reintroduce the tax, Newsom said. Renewing the tax on health plans would help prevent cuts to Newsom’s lauded insurance expansion to low-income undocumented immigrants of all ages that comes with a price tag of $844 million in the next fiscal year.
Lower than anticipated expenditures in 202223 and additional federal support for the state’s multi-year Medi-Cal transformation known as CalAIM, which includes health insurance for prisoners, also help soften the blow of a proposed $6.4 billion increased general fund investment.
Newsom also proposed temporarily transferring $333.4 million from a reserve fund intended to offset climbing health insurance premium costs for middle-income families who purchase insurance through Covered California. Federal subsidies were extended until 2025. The money will be returned when federal money runs out, Newsom said, but health advocates expressed dismay at the development.
“Health care affordability help for middle-class Californians is more needed in an economic downturn, not less,” Diana Douglas, policy and legislative advocacy director for Health Access California, said in a statement. “The
hundreds of millions raised in the Health Care Affordability Reserve Fund from those without coverage should go directly to lowering costs in Covered California, like cost-sharing and deductibles, to make sure more people are able to afford and use their coverage.”

Public health takes a hit Belt-tightening will lean on a well-worn strategy of slashing public health funding with a proposed $1.2 billion cut to the California Department of Public Health’s budget compared to last year’s funding of $6.7 billion, despite widespread criticism that decades of cuts and underfunding hamstrung early response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Most of the decrease comes from a $614 million transfer of COVID-19 emergency relief dollars into the general fund. That money, which was allocated as part of the state’s $1.8 billion long-term COVID-19 strategy known as the SMARTER plan, has remained unspent, Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said during a press briefing. This year’s budget proposes a much smaller price tag for the state’s COVID-19 response at $176.6 million.
“This is not meant to be a statement about moving on from COVID in California,” Ghaly said. “We’ve highlighted over and over the focus on the SMARTER plan and how it’s going to guide our way as necessary and as needed.”

New public health workforce training programs would absorb a $50 million cut, leaving only $25.8 million to train microbiologists and epidemiologists and public health nurses. Over time, the programs would be defunded entirely, much to the dismay of local public health leaders who rallied last year for the money, citing dozens of vacancies across the state and too few training opportunities.
Harold Goldstein, executive director of Public Health Advocates, called the proposed cut “dangerously shortsighted.” “The most glaring lesson from the COVID pandemic is that cuts to the public health workforce might save a few dollars today, but they will cost the state a fortune — in money and in lives — in the years to come,” he added in a statement.
Newsom and officials emphasized that the state is continuing its public health investment through a $300 million infrastructure grant, most of which gets passed down to local health departments.
“Those dollars were hard fought because they are foundational dollars. A large number of those dollars are going to focus less on training but making sure good jobs are available at local public health,” Ghaly said.

A new focus on fentanyl crisis
Criminal justice is often the part of the budget that is most responsive to what people see on the local nightly news. Last year, those concerns centered on railroad and organized retail theft. Viewers were inundated with nightly images of commercial goods strewn around railyards and surveillance footage of flash mob theft rings at Bay Area department stores.
This year, the focus is fentanyl. Newsom said he is assigning 113 members of the California National Guard to fentanyl interdiction at the
U.S.-Mexico border and throughout the state. Attorney General Rob Bonta, sworn into his first full term this month, would also create a fentanyl task force at the Justice Department under the proposal.

More prison closures
After a legislative session in which new approaches to prisoner welfare were considered and discarded amid opposition from county sheriffs and the union representing prison guards, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation proceeded apace with plans to lower the state’s overall prison population. Some of those proposed reductions will come from closures of individual wings within six state prisons while the state continues its attempts to close the California Correctional Center in Susanville and end its lease at the California City Correctional Facility, the state’s last privately-owned prison facility. Newsom said the proposed closures would save the state $150 million in this budget cycle.
The budget proposal also includes $11.6 million for fixed and body-worn cameras at several institutions, a prospect the state has fought for years in court.
— Nigel Duara
Economic uncertainty ahead
What will the next year hold for California’s economy? Newsom oscillated between optimism — saying that California was better prepared to weather a recession than other states and that he had “absolutely no trepidation around California’s fate and future” — and recognizing the economic uncertainty of the coming year, pointing to tech industry layoffs and rising credit card debts.
Economic uncertainty, Newsom said, is the reason his budget proposal doesn’t involve dipping into the state’s rainy day reserve to close the budget deficit.
One item on the chopping block: Money from the state to help pay down California’s $18.7 billion dollar unemployment benefits debt. That’s a debt the state owes to the federal government, which swooped in with a loan when Californians turned to unemployment benefits in droves early in the pandemic and the system quickly ran out of money. The debt is set to be paid off by a federal tax increase on California employers, but last year the state government kicked in some money to chip away at the debt, and at the time promised it would contribute another $750 million reduce the overall debt plus $500 million to offset the cost of the tax increase for small businesses this year. Now, Newsom proposes cutting both.

The governor also proposed some smaller snips to workforce programs, including cutting a planned $25 million investment in outreach to workers and employers in industries with high COVID risk and a $40 million budget reduction over the next two years for non-traditional apprenticeships.
But it wasn’t all cuts: Newsom proposed hiring more workers for the understaffed Department of Industrial relations to hear a backlog of unpaid wage claims. And he proposed continued funding for efforts to modernize California’s beleaguered Employment Development Department, which is charged with paying out unemployment benefits, as well as continuing to invest in fraud detection.

WILL CALIFORNIA JOIN TIKTOK BAN?
tained by the governor’s office. TikTok, the short-form video hosting platform, is owned by ByteDance, in which the Chinese government owns a stake.
• Dodd: “Prohibiting these apps on state phones and other devices is a commonsense way to prevent exposure of our sensitive material and the possible tracking or data breaches. Clearly, there are bad actors out there, and we can’t afford to let them in.”
Assemblymember Kate Sanchez, a firstterm Murrieta Republican who introduced her own version in Assembly Bill 227, focused more on the Chinese threat. She said the introduction of Dodd’s bill shows it is a bipartisan issue.
• Sanchez: “At a time when the Chinese Communist Party is attempting to undermine America, it is completely unacceptable to continue to allow them to access sensitive data through TikTok’s ByteDance. We need to cut off the flow of sensitive data, protect our state’s cybersecurity, and act before it’s too late.”
Dodd’s bill, supported by the Consumer Federation of California, wouldn’t prevent state employees from using TikTok on
their personal phones — which means Californians may not entirely miss out on some of those light-hearted, informative and sometimes snarky interactions with lawmakers.
Sen. Tom Umberg, a Democrat from Garden Grove and chairperson of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said while the bill is
a good idea, it needs full review:
• Umberg: “It is something we should do with a great deal of clarity and great deal of due diligence because when government starts to ban modes of communication that can be a problem.”
Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, a Democrat from Woodland Hills and chairperson of the Assembly Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection, didn’t commit to supporting the bill, but said the committee would discuss the best way to address “privacy, cybersecurity, and national security concerns with TikTok and other social media applications.”
In the face of industry opposition, the recent track record of social media bills is mixed.
Last year, lawmakers killed a nationallywatched bill to allow the attorney general or district attorneys to bring civil lawsuits against social media companies for products or features they know will addict kids. The tech industry strongly opposed the bill. Gov. Gavin Newsom did sign into law a bill designed to protect the privacy of children online. Industry groups said the legislation was too broad and objected to state-by-state regulations.
