Yes, Iāve been reading todayās #CABudget, even though that assignment is in the rear view mirror for me. Once a budget nerd, always a budget nerd.

And for me, tops on that list is the fact that the state is projected to still take in more tax $ in the coming fiscal year than the current year. That sure wonāt strike some folks as ādeficit.ā

The story, of course, is that the growth in those total revenues has slowed beyond earlier expectations. And yes, a key component ā personal income tax revenues ā are looking worrisome.
But itās a very different budget worry than those of the Great Recession.

I mentioned it before, but this is me finally doing it: creating a #thread of podcasts focused on #CALeg, #CABudget, and the Capitol Community in general.

To increase voter participation for underrepresented groups including youth and people of color, combat mis and dis-information, and create a more representative democracy, we must ensure widespread public awareness of new opportunities to participate in CA elections 2/7

OK, I'm a week late here, but in case it's helpful for anyone, providing more context to this wonky issue -the elective pass-through business tax - that's creating additional complications for #cabudget revenue projections. LONG WONKY THREAD
As @schwahoney's thread notes, this stems from the 2017 federal "Trump tax law." Among its many provisions, it created a $10,000 cap on state & local taxes individuals can deduct from their incomes for federal tax purposes.
But the cap doesn't apply to businesses. So many states, CA included, enacted "workarounds" that allow business owners to reduce their federal taxable income, and thus federal taxes...
California's Assembly Health Committee, chaired by Assemblymember @JimWoodAD2, about to begin. First hearing of the year, to hear bills introduced last year--including, most notably, #AB1400, the single-payer health system policy proposal #CalCare.
You can watch the CA Assembly Health Committee hearing, including the discussion on the single-payer health care proposal #AB1400 (@Ash_Kalra) slated for later in the afternoon, here: assembly.ca.gov/media/4202-vidā¦
@Ash_Kalra The debate on #AB1400 starts in Assembly Health Committee. Assemblymember @Ash_Kalra opens by detailing the costs of our current health system: "What is the status quo and why does it need to change?" #CalCare

#BroadbandForAll is not only about online connectivity but it's also a job creator! It's a needed solution across sectors that impacts our health, education, jobs, and even remote family visits with elders. @CAGovernor @Rendon63rd @SenToniAtkins @NancySkinnerCA #BroadbandCantWait
In California, Gov. Newsom proposed $7B for broadband that the legislature should vote into action now to start closing the digital divide. We don't have time to waste anymore. #BroadbandForAll #CABudget #BroadbandCantWait @CAGovernor @Rendon63rd @SenToniAtkins @NancySkinnerCA
Sacramento set aside $7B to build high capacity broadband infrastructure for all, but might vote tomorrow to "think it over." CA's largest 5 foundations @calfund @TSFF @siliconvalleycf @sd_fdn @eastbaycf support entire investment w/out delay #BroadbandForAll #BroadbandCantWait
Tough choice: @GavinNewsom and @JoeBiden speaking at the same time...

A brief #cabudget thread on a notable non-event... not enough for a story but, hey, enough, for Twitter.
In short: today's the day by which the June budget deal hoped additional federal coronavirus relief funds would come in.
And as everyone knows, that didn't happen.
In short: today's the day by which the June budget deal hoped additional federal coronavirus relief funds would come in.
And as everyone knows, that didn't happen.
There were 2 viewpoints about how to deal with the need for more federal help when @GavinNewsom projected a $54B deficit in the springtime, a shortfall spanning two fiscal years: write a budget assuming the feds would come to the rescue... or... write one assuming they wouldn't.
CA Senate Dems preferred to assume the money would come, but to insert automatic cuts to schools and more to be triggered ON if the feds failed.
Newsom balked at that, insisting the cuts take effect immediately and could be triggered OFF if fed money arrived by 10/15 -- today.

With no indication yet of whether #CABudget deadline day ends with a deal or a pro forma vote and ongoing talks between Newsom and legislative Dems, there's this thorny issue: the budget bill to be voted on today assumes a gubernatorial action that hasn't happened. (Thread)
