The California Legislature has passed its own version of a state spending plan that rejects many of Gov. Gavin Newsom's budget cuts.
Melissa Lamattina, a home support service worker, left and Patricia Moran, a child care provider, right, join others at a rally against proposed budget cuts to state provided social safety net programs, in Sacramento, Calif., Tuesday, June 11, 2024. The California Legislature on Thursday, June 13, rejected many of Gov.
To reject these cuts, lawmakers needed to find more money. They found it by taking one of Newsom's ideas and making it happen faster. The wage increase is expected to cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars in increased wages for some state workers and increased payments in the state's Medicaid program, according to an analysis by the University of California-Berkeley Labor Center. Newsom has said he wants to delay the minimum wage increase, but he so far has been unable to get an agreement from the state Legislature.
