State relief should be thoughtful.

This isn’t just about gas prices. It’s about the cost of living in an already expensive state.

Californians with low incomes are the ones who need additional economic relief — now. #CALeg #CABudget

[California Budget & Policy Center @CalBudgetCenter]

⚡️You're invited to our upcoming #EmpowerCA event — The Future of Cash Supports in California — happening on 11/3 at noon.

We'll be talking about guaranteed income, expanding tax credits, and strengthening existing safety net programs.

Good example of what happens when we don't create anti-racist policy solutions - inequitable recovery.

Yes, the pop. in prisons is down, but racial disparities worsen!

The @CAgovernor concentrating more $$ for #K12 schools serving disadvantaged students means a nearly 1/3 increase in the #LCFF concentration grant that targets $$ to K-12 schools with more than 55% of these students, which would help those most affected by the pandemic

[Chris Hoene @ChrisWHoene]

@CalBudgetCenter @CAgovernor State leaders can do a lot. Fill gaps in fed. aid, provide immediate $$ support, address hist. inequitable policies that lock people out of opportunity, & lay a foundation for a more equitable, vibrant, and sustainable California.

Our piece sums it up: https://t.co/bhVFCHKXSN

[JanisYee (DelaTorre) @JanisYee]

But is it enough?

@CalBudgetCenter and @ChrisWHoene talk #cabudget and #equity. #CaLeg is upping the #equit ante - but will the @CAgovernor call, raise, or fold on his promise to create a #CAforAll?

[Chris Hoene @ChrisWHoene]

@CalBudgetCenter @CAgovernor #Caleg does more to expand health coverage & food assistance (#Food4All) to people who are undocumented; provides *ongoing* funding for public health & health equity, plus provides aid to seniors & people with disabilities.

[JanisYee (DelaTorre) @JanisYee]

Time to tune in!!! #caleg #cabudget

[California Budget & Policy Center @CalBudgetCenter]

You might have some questions about the Legislature’s new #Cabudget plan. 🤨

So, we're chatting with our own @ChrisWHoene to learn more about the #Caleg proposal and find out how it measures up with @CAgovernor’s proposal in terms of #equity. 👇🏾

👋🏽 How's it going, Chris!?

[JanisYee (DelaTorre) @JanisYee]

@CalBudgetCenter

[JanisYee (DelaTorre) @JanisYee]

Let's compare!

Does the #CALeg #CABudget proposal builds towards greater economic and health #equity for Californians?

Here's what we at the @CalBudgetCenter found compared to our recommendations: https://t.co/a8C5fZSUAy

Clarity via @CalBudgetCenter #CABudget Guru himself -@SHGraves29.

Takeaway: We have the $ to invest sustainably and equitably.

[Scott Graves @SHGraves29]

TY to the Dept of Finance for breaking down last week's much-quoted ~$75 billion figure. It consists of:

1⃣ $38.1B discretionary "surplus"
2⃣ $26.6B owed to K-14 ed (Prop. 98)
3⃣ $11B for reserve deposits & debt payments (Prop. 2)

These are all revised from January. #cabudget

[JanisYee (DelaTorre) @JanisYee]

Via @CalBudgetCenter: $75.7 billion in additional revenues over the current fiscal and budget year.
