## Resource

California just locked in a historic $352 billion budget that balances the books for two straight years — a major win for Governor Newsom as he wraps up his term. Boosted by an AI-driven tax windfall and new levies like a software sales tax and higher healthcare provider fees, the plan softens billions in cuts to Medi-Cal and preserves funding for in-home care, homelessness services, and thousands of new child care spots. While some lawmakers argue it avoids holding big corporations accountable for Medi-Cal costs, Newsom touts these investments as legacy wins. Climate funding remains on hold, but electric vehicle incentives are set to roll out — especially for lower-income families — later this summer.
