Vulnerable Californians are in the crosshairs. That’s one of the big takeaways from Governor Newsom’s latest budget proposal – the May Revise. Last week on this podcast, we focused on the proposal’s impact on transportation, housing and climate. Today we’re looking at its impact on vulnerable and low income Californians, and the news is pretty ugly.
Among those likely to suffer if the Legislature doesn’t make changes are low income families, senior citizens, people with disabilities, people who are unhoused, survivors of domestic violence, and foster youth, and immigrants.
Our guest on this episode is Chris Hoene, executive director of theCalifornia Budget & Policy Center– a well-respected organization that does research and analysis of state policies, with an eye toward equity and impacts policies have on people who are vulnerable.
