193: Gov. Newsom on the state budget, reopening California

This week, prior to announcing his $268B California budget proposal, Governor Gavin Newsom made stops across the Golden state, touting various aspects of his spending plan, from expanding access to education and health care, to combating homelessness and issuing tax rebates to some 78% of the Californians.

On Tuesday, while promoting a $1.5B proposal aimed at clean-up and beautification, Newsom spoke with FOX 11’s Elex Michaelson for The Issue Is, the two talking budget surpluses, recall politics, and the state’s planned economic reopening on June 15, among many other subjects.

Following Newsom, Michaelson is also joined this week by John Myers, the Sacramento Bureau Chief of the Los Angeles Times, and Laurel Rosenhall of CalMatters, to break down the Governor’s proposed budget and his chances of defeating a recall later this year.
