They’re cutting “ghost employee” waste, saving $800 million and dodging tax hikes. Schools get more funding per student, plus universal meals, safety, and tutoring—with a 3-year adjustment for declining enrollment. Law enforcement gets new gear and youth mental health support. Medicaid gains $1 billion to handle rising demand, with fraud safeguards. Mental health sees expanded community and mobile crisis services. Infrastructure gets a major upgrade, including bridges, water systems, and college facilities. Utility rate hikes? Now they’ll have to explain them to lawmakers. And Bridge Cards? New anti-fraud measures are coming. This budget, headed to the governor’s desk, is all about accountability and smarter spending.
