The announcement by Newsom and legislative leaders did not include details on the state of expenditures for the fiscal year that begins On July 1. However, legislative sources said that the agreement had been boosted by a slight improvement in the budgetary picture. They also provided $300 million to increase funding for the homeless and extend CalWORKs benefits to a lifespan of 60 months, a period that existed before being reduced to 48 months in the 2011-12 budget. Newsom and the legislature estimated, in separate versions of the budget, that the federal government would provide additional stimulus assistance to offset the deficit. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the $3 trillion Heroes Act, which would provide more than $1 trillion in aid to national and local governments, but the Senate did not take it back and Republican leaders questioned the need for additional assistance. The agreement also includes $750 million for counties to absorb lost funds for public health, public safety and social services programs, as well as potentially an additional $250 million if there is a federal bailout. The draft budget, which was not publicly available on Monday, must be printed at least 72 hours before a vote. This means that parliament is unlikely to be able to accommodate him until Friday.

Supporters of the school warned that the unprecedented shift to distance learning due to precautions aimed at slowing the spread of coronavirus would increase their load. And while the budget provides unique support with funds from the government portion of the FEDERAL CARES Act, education groups are still concerned about how those dollars would be distributed. This could take years, as financial planners anticipate several consecutive years of fiscal deficits. Anthony Wright, executive director of health, said he was "disappointed with this decision" and reiterated lawmakers` arguments that it is more important to have broader health care during a pandemic and recession that costs people their insurance. "In the midst of a pandemic targeting them, California seniors now need to cover themselves," Wright said in a statement. For more than a month, the governor has been asking Congress to pass a plan to help states and local governments that, because of the pandemic and increased emergency spending, are facing budget deficits. The final agreement, described to The Times by legislative sources who spoke on condition of anonymity because they do not have the power to discuss it publicly, is based on a mixture of two approaches to cut spending by $12 billion. Spending cuts related to future federal funds are made immediately, as Newsom had intended. But the agreed cuts largely avoid having a greater impact on social service programs Democratic lawmakers say they are essential for the weakest residents of the state. Significant elements of the projected deficit would be eliminated by the use of a portion of the government`s historically high liquidity reserves. The agreement, according to the sources, also provides that tax revenues will be better than expected - reducing the additional reductions by about $1 billion.
