Governor Gavin Newsom has previewed his latest budget ahead of its official release, with a proposed total of $322.2 billion.
The budget predicts no deficit, aided by a revenue increase exceeding $16.5 billion, despite plans to utilize the rainy day fund.
Newsom's budget themes emphasize practicality, with a focus on "safe, clean, accountable California," moving towards centrist positions post-presidential defeat.
The proposal includes significant funding for entertainment tax credits and educational investments like free school meals and transitional kindergarten.
Newsom also prepared for potential legal battles against President-elect Trump, requesting $25 million for the attorney general's office to contest upcoming policies.
