California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic legislative leaders have negotiated major elements of the state budget — although they remain at odds over Newsom’s eleventh-hour push to streamline large-scale infrastructure projects.
Over the weekend, lawmakers released bills showing the major outlines of a $310.8 billion spending plan that eliminates proposed cuts to public transit, funds a plan to transform San Quentin State Prison and increases pay for child care providers.
But Newsom and Senate and Assembly leaders still had yet to announce a final agreement by Sunday night, even after a weekend of negotiations.
