That’s what I heard yesterday. We can’t live without the fear that each goodbye to our children, our spouses and friends could be the last,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also used the moment to hit back against Texas Gov.

Gavin Newsom’s CARE Court proposal, which is currently making its way through the Legislature. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Shahada Hull)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Throughout her life, Hull, 30, has had around 160 mental health episodes, documented in a thick case file. At 13 months old, the San Francisco resident was placed in foster care. And she’s been in “the system” ever since — cycling in and out of affordable housing placements, the courts and county behavioral health services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many ways, she’s the archetypal candidate for CARE Court, part of a sweeping new proposal to address mental health care in California. The state Senate voted Wednesday to approve the legislation, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB1338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SB 1338\u003c/a>. It now heads to the Assembly for a vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled CARE Court in March, he said it’s designed to help people like Hull, who move between emergency psychiatric treatment and homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This approach with the courts allows … a pathway to actually develop a strategy and a plan with oversight and accountability, with housing supports, that are a component of this, to achieve some more permanency and success as opposed to episodic experiences through the 5150,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the governor’s Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment Court, Hull would be able to enter into a civil process with a judge to oversee her mental health treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’d have a public defender and a supporter to help her make decisions about what sorts of treatment programs she would like, with a care plan lasting up to two years. In turn, the county behavioral health department would be compelled to provide her with treatment or face fines if they do not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ideally, the program would enable Hull to reach her goals, all the things she had wanted to achieve by the time she turned 30: her GED, a job, stable housing, a car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hull is skeptical the program really would help. She sat at a café in San Francisco’s Civic Center on a recent afternoon and looked toward City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Wanting to force people that are homeless and on drugs into treatment and to housing, that’s just forcing,” she said. “That’s still not giving them a chance to talk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom and officials in his administration say the treatment is voluntary. But the legislation also comes with a threat: Continued refusal to participate in CARE Court could be used as justification for conservatorship, where people could be forced into care against their will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has provoked harsh criticism from civil rights advocates who say compelling people into care is not only less effective, it undermines the kind of trust-building needed to actually bring people into treatment successfully.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Dr. Le Ondra Clark Harvey, CEO, California Council of Community Behavioral Health Agencies\"]‘We need to be able to have dependable, well-trained workers within this CARE Court system to make it successful.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems to just undercut a lot of the principles of disability rights, the right to self-determination, the need for services to accommodate people with disabilities,” said Lili Graham, a lawyer with Disability Rights California. “And there is this coercive component to it because it’s under the court’s mandate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hull is also optimistic. If there’s a chance that CARE Court could help, she’d welcome the change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes there’s a lot of things that you don’t like and you have to do it,” Hull said. “So, yeah, if it’s a chance for somebody to be housed and get their word out, I’m all for it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s administration poured $12 billion into homelessness and mental health programs last year — with another $2 billion proposed this year. But the state still faces serious shortages in behavioral health care workers, treatment programs and housing. And Hull’s most recent experience seeking help illustrates the hurdles CARE Court will have to clear to ensure that Hull, and others with a similar experience, can break the cycle of homelessness and succeed in treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A slow process\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When Hull realized the hospital staff were going to discharge her to the streets, she called her godfather in a panic. He called the Coalition on Homelessness in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s how Hull first met Christin Evans, who owns the Booksmith, an independent bookstore in San Francisco, and also volunteers with the coalition. Evans stepped in as an advocate to help Hull find someplace to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hull has a paid social worker, appointed by the city. But with a heavy caseload, Evans said, the city social worker isn’t always able to give Hull as much time as she needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across California, the behavioral health care industry faces a worker shortage, and it’s expected to grow. A 2018 University of California San Francisco study found that \u003ca href=\"https://healthforce.ucsf.edu/sites/healthforce.ucsf.edu/files/publication-pdf/California%E2%80%99s%20Current%20and%20Future%20Behavioral%20Health%20Workforce.pdf\">by 2028, California will have 50% fewer psychiatrists and 28% fewer psychologists, licensed therapists and social workers than needed\u003c/a>, due to retirement and attrition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic only exacerbated that shortage, said Dr. Le Ondra Clark Harvey, CEO of the California Council of Community Behavioral Health Agencies. And Newsom’s administration estimates that 7,000 to 12,000 people will qualify for CARE Court each year, adding to that caseload. All of these people will be, by definition, high-needs cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As the system currently stands, we’re already struggling,” Harvey said. “We need to be able to have dependable, well-trained workers within this CARE Court system to make it successful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without Evans volunteering support, Hull said she would have been lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would be downtown, going to see case manager after case manager, praying that there’s an opening somewhere, praying that I’ll be safe, sleeping in doorways,” Hull said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evans was able to spring into action. She started by convincing the hospital to keep Hull for a few more days — days that Evans spent trying to find housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She couldn’t place Hull at an emergency shelter in the Tenderloin, where Hull knew the heroin dealers. Sober for a week, Hull didn’t want to be tempted to use again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The options for her for emergency shelter were really limited,” Evans said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She found a substance use treatment program that agreed to do an intake assessment, but not right away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, the hospital did discharge Hull, who was able to stay with her godparents over the weekend.

This year’s proposed budget includes another $1.5 billion for short-term housing for people exiting homelessness and entering behavioral health treatment programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Michelle Doty Cabrera, executive director of the County Behavioral Health Directors Association of California, said all those facilities will need ongoing funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are buildings. They’re not the people to work in the buildings,” Cabrera said. “We still have not expanded funding at the state level to support the expanded services that would be needed to go along with those buildings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ebudget.ca.gov/budget/2022-23MR/#/Home\">The governor’s proposed budget includes $65 million to implement CARE Court\u003c/a>, including $39 million to facilitate proceedings in county courts, $10 million to finance a supporter program through the state’s Department of Aging and $15 million to provide county governments with training and technical assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It doesn’t specify any additional funds to increase services for new CARE Court enrollees. But it does include \u003ca href=\"https://www.chhs.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Public-Community-Behavioral-Health-Funding-4.20.22.pdf\">a projected $11.6 billion for county behavioral health departments\u003c/a>, which are charged with providing services to people on Medi-Cal. That would be a nearly 50% increase from the prior year’s budget, if actual revenues match the projections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said in an interview it’s about prioritization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our focus [is] on prioritizing this population,” Ghaly said, “not just making sure that they are no longer out of the line, but that they are towards the front of the line and getting these services in a prioritized way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Housing shortage\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Hull isn’t sure where she will go when her treatment program ends in early July. Evans is worried that all the work done to get Hull sober and stabilized will be undone if she goes back to homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shortage of affordable housing remains a huge problem in California, particularly for people who often need on-site services to help them remain stably housed. Nearly 14,000 people experiencing homelessness voluntarily sought mental health services last year, but only half were placed into housing, according to a survey conducted earlier this year by the County Behavioral Health Directors Association of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the other half, there simply weren’t enough affordable options that could accommodate people with complex behavioral health needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve sort of been casualties of the hot housing market in California,” Cabrera said, noting the state has lost many residential treatment facilities in recent years. “We have very limited resources ourselves to support our clients’ housing needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An early draft of the CARE Court legislation didn’t guarantee housing as part of the plan. But recent amendments to the bill now require county staff to identify an available housing placement for CARE Court enrollees. And courts could order other government agencies to provide that housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hull tries not to think about what will happen to her in July, “because I don’t want to get into a depression,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’ll be 31 in September, and she’s still a long way from her goals. Sitting at the café in San Francisco’s Civic Center, she said she knows that, ultimately, getting there is up to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the end of the day, the government has this and they have that,” she said. “It’s really up to you to fight for that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She turned her face toward the gilded dome on top of City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But the fight shouldn’t be this hard,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom’s CARE Court proposal, which is currently making its way through the Legislature. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Shahada Hull)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Throughout her life, Hull, 30, has had around 160 mental health episodes, documented in a thick case file. At 13 months old, the San Francisco resident was placed in foster care. And she’s been in “the system” ever since — cycling in and out of affordable housing placements, the courts and county behavioral health services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many ways, she’s the archetypal candidate for CARE Court, part of a sweeping new proposal to address mental health care in California. The state Senate voted Wednesday to approve the legislation, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB1338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SB 1338\u003c/a>. It now heads to the Assembly for a vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled CARE Court in March, he said it’s designed to help people like Hull, who move between emergency psychiatric treatment and homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This approach with the courts allows … a pathway to actually develop a strategy and a plan with oversight and accountability, with housing supports, that are a component of this, to achieve some more permanency and success as opposed to episodic experiences through the 5150,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the governor’s Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment Court, Hull would be able to enter into a civil process with a judge to oversee her mental health treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’d have a public defender and a supporter to help her make decisions about what sorts of treatment programs she would like, with a care plan lasting up to two years. In turn, the county behavioral health department would be compelled to provide her with treatment or face fines if they do not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ideally, the program would enable Hull to reach her goals, all the things she had wanted to achieve by the time she turned 30: her GED, a job, stable housing, a car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hull is skeptical the program really would help. She sat at a café in San Francisco’s Civic Center on a recent afternoon and looked toward City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Wanting to force people that are homeless and on drugs into treatment and to housing, that’s just forcing,” she said. “That’s still not giving them a chance to talk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom and officials in his administration say the treatment is voluntary. But the legislation also comes with a threat: Continued refusal to participate in CARE Court could be used as justification for conservatorship, where people could be forced into care against their will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has provoked harsh criticism from civil rights advocates who say compelling people into care is not only less effective, it undermines the kind of trust-building needed to actually bring people into treatment successfully.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If there’s a chance that CARE Court could help, she’d welcome the change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes there’s a lot of things that you don’t like and you have to do it,” Hull said. “So, yeah, if it’s a chance for somebody to be housed and get their word out, I’m all for it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s administration poured $12 billion into homelessness and mental health programs last year — with another $2 billion proposed this year. But the state still faces serious shortages in behavioral health care workers, treatment programs and housing. And Hull’s most recent experience seeking help illustrates the hurdles CARE Court will have to clear to ensure that Hull, and others with a similar experience, can break the cycle of homelessness and succeed in treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A slow process\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When Hull realized the hospital staff were going to discharge her to the streets, she called her godfather in a panic. He called the Coalition on Homelessness in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s how Hull first met Christin Evans, who owns the Booksmith, an independent bookstore in San Francisco, and also volunteers with the coalition. Evans stepped in as an advocate to help Hull find someplace to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hull has a paid social worker, appointed by the city. But with a heavy caseload, Evans said, the city social worker isn’t always able to give Hull as much time as she needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across California, the behavioral health care industry faces a worker shortage, and it’s expected to grow. A 2018 University of California San Francisco study found that \u003ca href=\"https://healthforce.ucsf.edu/sites/healthforce.ucsf.edu/files/publication-pdf/California%E2%80%99s%20Current%20and%20Future%20Behavioral%20Health%20Workforce.pdf\">by 2028, California will have 50% fewer psychiatrists and 28% fewer psychologists, licensed therapists and social workers than needed\u003c/a>, due to retirement and attrition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic only exacerbated that shortage, said Dr. Le Ondra Clark Harvey, CEO of the California Council of Community Behavioral Health Agencies. And Newsom’s administration estimates that 7,000 to 12,000 people will qualify for CARE Court each year, adding to that caseload. All of these people will be, by definition, high-needs cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As the system currently stands, we’re already struggling,” Harvey said. “We need to be able to have dependable, well-trained workers within this CARE Court system to make it successful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without Evans volunteering support, Hull said she would have been lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would be downtown, going to see case manager after case manager, praying that there’s an opening somewhere, praying that I’ll be safe, sleeping in doorways,” Hull said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evans was able to spring into action. She started by convincing the hospital to keep Hull for a few more days — days that Evans spent trying to find housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She couldn’t place Hull at an emergency shelter in the Tenderloin, where Hull knew the heroin dealers. Sober for a week, Hull didn’t want to be tempted to use again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The options for her for emergency shelter were really limited,” Evans said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She found a substance use treatment program that agreed to do an intake assessment, but not right away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, the hospital did discharge Hull, who was able to stay with her godparents over the weekend. That wasn’t a long-term option, though, because they only let Hull stay with them when she’s sober and getting into treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it came time for the program to do the intake assessment, however, the staff determined Hull needed more care than they could provide. She wouldn’t be getting a bed there. So, Evans started over, searching for a place that could provide both substance use and mental health treatment for Hull’s dual diagnoses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We started cold-calling, basically,” Evans said. “We were informed that there really weren’t dual-diagnosis beds readily available that she could go into that night.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get into dual-diagnosis programs, Hull needed to fill out a five-page application, get a TB test and get a referral from a primary care physician, all of which took several days. Hull spent those nights with her godparents and at an overnight urgent care facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, she got into The Avenues Transitional Care Center. But it was only temporary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had to wait another couple weeks until a bed opened at Baker Places Inc., which operates a 90-day treatment program in San Francisco. The whole process took about a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really do believe that in her case, she’s not service-resistant,” Evans said. “The system is resistant to serving her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11914879\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1440px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/RS13773_20141218_homeless_jt_001.JPG-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11914879 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/RS13773_20141218_homeless_jt_001.JPG-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A line of six people, all presenting as white or Asian, hold a long, white, lit candle in one hand and what seems to be a paper program in the other.

They’re not the people to work in the buildings,” Cabrera said. “We still have not expanded funding at the state level to support the expanded services that would be needed to go along with those buildings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ebudget.ca.gov/budget/2022-23MR/#/Home\">The governor’s proposed budget includes $65 million to implement CARE Court\u003c/a>, including $39 million to facilitate proceedings in county courts, $10 million to finance a supporter program through the state’s Department of Aging and $15 million to provide county governments with training and technical assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It doesn’t specify any additional funds to increase services for new CARE Court enrollees. But it does include \u003ca href=\"https://www.chhs.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Public-Community-Behavioral-Health-Funding-4.20.22.pdf\">a projected $11.6 billion for county behavioral health departments\u003c/a>, which are charged with providing services to people on Medi-Cal. That would be a nearly 50% increase from the prior year’s budget, if actual revenues match the projections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said in an interview it’s about prioritization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our focus [is] on prioritizing this population,” Ghaly said, “not just making sure that they are no longer out of the line, but that they are towards the front of the line and getting these services in a prioritized way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Housing shortage\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Hull isn’t sure where she will go when her treatment program ends in early July. Evans is worried that all the work done to get Hull sober and stabilized will be undone if she goes back to homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shortage of affordable housing remains a huge problem in California, particularly for people who often need on-site services to help them remain stably housed. Nearly 14,000 people experiencing homelessness voluntarily sought mental health services last year, but only half were placed into housing, according to a survey conducted earlier this year by the County Behavioral Health Directors Association of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the other half, there simply weren’t enough affordable options that could accommodate people with complex behavioral health needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve sort of been casualties of the hot housing market in California,” Cabrera said, noting the state has lost many residential treatment facilities in recent years. “We have very limited resources ourselves to support our clients’ housing needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An early draft of the CARE Court legislation didn’t guarantee housing as part of the plan. But recent amendments to the bill now require county staff to identify an available housing placement for CARE Court enrollees. And courts could order other government agencies to provide that housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hull tries not to think about what will happen to her in July, “because I don’t want to get into a depression,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’ll be 31 in September, and she’s still a long way from her goals. Sitting at the café in San Francisco’s Civic Center, she said she knows that, ultimately, getting there is up to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the end of the day, the government has this and they have that,” she said. “It’s really up to you to fight for that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She turned her face toward the gilded dome on top of City Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But the fight shouldn’t be this hard,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>California is flush with nearly $100 billion in extra cash for the fiscal year that will begin in July, but Gov. Gavin Newsom says he sees economic storms ahead, and wants to spend that money on programs that will help the state and its residents weather an uncertain future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About half of that extra money is up for grabs — the other half is automatically earmarked for state programs like schools. The governor, in his \u003ca href=\"https://www.ebudget.ca.gov/FullBudgetSummary.pdf\">revised budget proposal\u003c/a> unveiled Friday, is proposing to spend nearly all the discretionary surplus on one-time programs, including paying down debt, softening the blow families are feeling from rising costs, addressing climate challenges including drought and wildfires and expanding reproductive health care access as abortion is under attack elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Perhaps the most important thing right now in people’s minds, understandably, is how do I lower costs?” Newsom said in presenting his budget plan. “What are we going to do to ease that stress, ease that burden? And that’s why we’re proposing $18.1 billion to put back in the pockets of millions and millions, tens of millions of Californians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The core of that inflation relief package — sending California car owners $400 cash rebates — is likely to be a sticking point with Democratic lawmakers, who want to see a broader, means-based refund that does not only benefit vehicle owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am confident we will land quickly on an agreement,” Newsom said when pressed on the differences between his proposal and what legislative leaders have put forth. “I don’t see a lot of daylight between these proposals. It’s simply a question of how.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But perhaps as a carrot for lawmakers, Newsom’s proposal also includes other help for struggling Californians. He’s asking lawmakers to expand the emergency rental assistance program created during the pandemic by $2.7 billion; put $1.4 billion toward unpaid utility bills and $750 million to make public transit free for three months; and provide $1,500 stipends to health care workers as an incentive to stick with their jobs in hospitals and nursing homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In making his pitch, Newsom noted that California coffers continue to swell — despite inflation and pandemic-induced economic contractions — because of the state’s progressive tax structure, which relies heavily on capital gains taxes from wealthy residents. He said that nearly 10% of income taxes next year will come from capital gains — similar to the percentage in 2000, just before the stock market crashed and the state had to make deep cuts to programs like schools and social services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The question is, what would they have done in the state of California … knowing what was going to come in late 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003? If they knew the economic realities, the macroeconomic realities of the markets and the volatility that was going to ensue and all the cuts that had to come from that?” Newsom said. “And so we’ve been very mindful of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Expanding access to abortion services\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As part of that one-time spending, Newsom took aim at Republican leaders in other states that are working to ban abortion access and curb LGBTQ+ rights. He wants to spend $125 million of the budget surplus on expanding access to abortion services, including for people who will come here from other states. The largest chunk of that money — $40 million — would be handed out as grants to health care providers to offset the costs of abortions for lower- and middle-income people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He framed California as the truly abortion-rights state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s a lot of folks out there that, you know, that are pro-conception to birth. But they fall wholly short of being pro-life,” he said. “Because if you’re pro-life, you’d support prenatal care. You’d support infant health, you’d support child care and preschool. If you’re pro-life, you’d believe in science. You’d believe in climate change … you’d actually support commonsense gun safety. You would be expanding after-school and preschool programs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s also trying to appeal to businesses located in states like Texas and Florida that have passed homophobic and transphobic laws. His administration will give “additional consideration to companies that relocate from states that have enacted anti-LGBTQ+ and reproductive rights laws,” if they apply for the state’s CalCompetes Tax Credit, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the other increased investments Newsom highlighted Friday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>$19 billion more than his January proposal for public schools — money that will help offset declining enrollment and provide flexible block grants to districts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Nearly $300 million in new funds for children’s mental health screening and services, including suicide response and prevention.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$193 million in new money for public safety, including money for a fentanyl task force at the attorney general’s office and for cracking down on cartel fentanyl trafficking at the southern border.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Nearly $3 billion in new money to combat homelessness, including $700 million for crisis response and interim housing and $65 million to build his proposed new CARE courts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$9.5 billion in new money for climate resilience, totaling $47 billion over two years — that total includes $7.2 billion for drought resilience, some earmarked for farmers.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>As happens every year, Newsom’s May proposal is really the starting point for negotiations with lawmakers. San Francisco Democrat Phil Ting, who chairs the Assembly Budget Committee, said lawmakers will be pushing back on Newsom’s plan to send cash to car owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we’re looking at potentially a straight cash rebate going to people who really have been hit the hardest — people who need it the most,” Ting said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for infrastructure, Ting says one need stands above the rest: housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so I think one of the best things we could do for our economy, but also for our state, is give money to affordable housing that is ready to be built right now,” Ting said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And not all Democratic lawmakers support using a large portion of the budget surplus on one-time rebates and expenditures to temporarily offset the impact of inflation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, says Newsom and the Legislature should use the state’s extraordinary surplus to address long-term problems facing California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have so many needs in the state and we have so many one-time expenditures we could make to shore up our infrastructure and make people’s lives better, not just for a month or two, which is what a rebate would do, but to make people’s lives better for decades to come,” Wiener said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are schools in California that don’t have functioning restrooms. We have water systems that are failing. We have so many needs that are indisputably good investments that will benefit Californians for many years to come. That should be our focus,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He said that nearly 10% of income taxes next year will come from capital gains — similar to the percentage in 2000, just before the stock market crashed and the state had to make deep cuts to programs like schools and social services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The question is, what would they have done in the state of California … knowing what was going to come in late 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003? If they knew the economic realities, the macroeconomic realities of the markets and the volatility that was going to ensue and all the cuts that had to come from that?” Newsom said. “And so we’ve been very mindful of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Expanding access to abortion services\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As part of that one-time spending, Newsom took aim at Republican leaders in other states that are working to ban abortion access and curb LGBTQ+ rights. He wants to spend $125 million of the budget surplus on expanding access to abortion services, including for people who will come here from other states. The largest chunk of that money — $40 million — would be handed out as grants to health care providers to offset the costs of abortions for lower- and middle-income people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He framed California as the truly abortion-rights state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s a lot of folks out there that, you know, that are pro-conception to birth. But they fall wholly short of being pro-life,” he said. “Because if you’re pro-life, you’d support prenatal care. You’d support infant health, you’d support child care and preschool. If you’re pro-life, you’d believe in science. You’d believe in climate change … you’d actually support commonsense gun safety. You would be expanding after-school and preschool programs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s also trying to appeal to businesses located in states like Texas and Florida that have passed homophobic and transphobic laws. His administration will give “additional consideration to companies that relocate from states that have enacted anti-LGBTQ+ and reproductive rights laws,” if they apply for the state’s CalCompetes Tax Credit, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the other increased investments Newsom highlighted Friday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>$19 billion more than his January proposal for public schools — money that will help offset declining enrollment and provide flexible block grants to districts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Nearly $300 million in new funds for children’s mental health screening and services, including suicide response and prevention.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$193 million in new money for public safety, including money for a fentanyl task force at the attorney general’s office and for cracking down on cartel fentanyl trafficking at the southern border.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Nearly $3 billion in new money to combat homelessness, including $700 million for crisis response and interim housing and $65 million to build his proposed new CARE courts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$9.5 billion in new money for climate resilience, totaling $47 billion over two years — that total includes $7.2 billion for drought resilience, some earmarked for farmers.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>As happens every year, Newsom’s May proposal is really the starting point for negotiations with lawmakers. San Francisco Democrat Phil Ting, who chairs the Assembly Budget Committee, said lawmakers will be pushing back on Newsom’s plan to send cash to car owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we’re looking at potentially a straight cash rebate going to people who really have been hit the hardest — people who need it the most,” Ting said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for infrastructure, Ting says one need stands above the rest: housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so I think one of the best things we could do for our economy, but also for our state, is give money to affordable housing that is ready to be built right now,” Ting said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And not all Democratic lawmakers support using a large portion of the budget surplus on one-time rebates and expenditures to temporarily offset the impact of inflation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, says Newsom and the Legislature should use the state’s extraordinary surplus to address long-term problems facing California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have so many needs in the state and we have so many one-time expenditures we could make to shore up our infrastructure and make people’s lives better, not just for a month or two, which is what a rebate would do, but to make people’s lives better for decades to come,” Wiener said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Each year, the governor sets the negotiations in motion in January with a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/01/california-budget-newsom/\">preliminary budget proposal\u003c/a>. This year, Newsom’s proffer included a record surge in K-12 education spending, along with multi-billion dollar proposals to ramp up the state’s wildfire prevention projects, convert more vacant hotels into housing for the homeless and open up Medi-Cal, the state’s health insurance program for the poor, to all undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Newsom unveiled today is a retake on that earlier budget blueprint, but freshened up with new estimates of the state’s fiscal future.

But to be clear, even by Golden State standards, that is an astounding amount of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What a difference two years makes. In May 2020, with the state still weathering the first surge of COVID-19, the governor’s Department of Finance projected a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2020/05/newsom-economic-forecast-criticism-california-model-recession-budget/\">$54 billion deficit and a year of Great Depression-level unemployment rates\u003c/a>. Neither came to pass, just the opposite: Boosted by rosy \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2021/01/california-budget-depends-on-staggering-wealth-gap/\">economic conditions for the state’s highest earners\u003c/a> and a massive influx of cash from the federal government, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2021/01/newsoms-record-breaking-budget-proposal/\">state coffers have been overflowing\u003c/a> for the last two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the governor and Democratic leadership in the Assembly and Senate, having to divvy up billions of new dollars during an election year is a good problem to have. But on financial aid to struggling families, the scale of the state’s drought response, \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/newsletter/2022-05-13/california-politics-newsletter-gambling-taxes-will-dominate-november-ballot-ca-politics\">what to do about the sky-high price of gasoline\u003c/a> and other pressing policy conundrums, not everyone is on the same page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"california-budget\"]Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon kept his cards close to his chest in a statement, simply heralding his Democratic “teammates” in the Senate. “We know how to work together to present Governor Gavin Newsom with a budget he can be proud to sign by the constitutional deadline,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The\u003ca href=\"https://cssrc.us/sites/default/files/Caucus%202022%20Wilk%20May%20Revise%20Budget%20Priorities.pdf?utm_source=CalMatters+Newsletters&utm_campaign=ebdd812119-WHATMATTERS&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_faa7be558d-ebdd812119-150256405&mc_cid=ebdd812119&mc_eid=498adde128\"> Republican minority in the Legislature\u003c/a> is so diminished that Democrats don’t need their support to pass a budget. But that isn’t stopping GOP lawmakers from weighing in, if only to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cagop.org/s/blog/ca-dems-ignore-the-obvious-MCZ2N2HI7YLFCAHEWHK6DQ7YEG3Q\">provide voters with a clear contrast\u003c/a> as Election Day approaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Newsom specializes in grand announcements and flashy sounding proposals, but he rarely follows through with effective solutions that actually help California families,” GOP Assembly leader James Gallagher from Chico said in a statement. “As Californians struggle to fill their tank and put food on the table, Democrats fail to provide any real solutions to cut costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are other highlights from the governor’s latest spending plan:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Cash for Californians\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If the average Californian hears anything about today’s announcement it’s probably this: The governor wants to send $400 to most of the state’s car owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s been the governor’s idea to help drivers bear the cost of historically elevated gas prices. In the face of pushback from environmentalists, he also wants to throw in $750 million to entice transit agencies to make bus and rail travel free for three months. And lest he be accused to throwing money at those who don’t need it, the proposal is limited to drivers whose car are worth under an unspecified cap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite all that, there’s some distance between this proposal and the Legislature’s, where Democratic leaders \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-03-18/california-senate-assembly-weigh-refund-possibilities-amid-rising-gas-costs#:~:text=Gavin%20Newsom's%20proposal%20to%20offer,each%20California%20taxpayer%20and%20dependent.\">want to send cash rebates to Californians\u003c/a> making less than $250,000, car owners or not. And it’s even further still from the GOP plan, which is simply to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2022/04/california-gas-rebate/\">suspend the state gas tax\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have all the confidence in the world we’ll be able to square those modest differences and we’ll come around to a number and a strategy that’s in the best interests of Californians,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today’s announcement also answered another big question left unaddressed by the January proposal: Will an obscure amendment inserted into the California Constitution in 1979 compel the state to reroute some of the state’s extra cash back to taxpayers?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer, at least for now, appears to be no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutional provision in question, the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2021/05/newsom-tax-rebate/\">Gann Limit\u003c/a>, was approved by voters during the heyday of the state’s conservative “tax revolt” and capped per-person state spending to its 1978 level, after adjusting for inflation. Anything left over has to be sent back to taxpayers and school districts. With the state’s coffers as full as they are, the January budget blueprint projected that the state would breach the cap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with more spending on exempt types of expenditure, including infrastructure, the current plan is now $2.6 billion below that ceiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 id=\"h-eat-your-heart-out-texas\">‘Eat your heart out, Texas’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Budgets, as the cliche goes, are statements of values. Newsom clearly values \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2022/02/california-crime-abortion-guns/\">decrying the state of Texas\u003c/a> and its right-wing government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the policies-cum-anti-Texas-digs that Newsom rolled out today were a revision of the state’s business relocation tax credit program to provide “additional consideration” for businesses relocating from states with anti-abortion and “anti-LGBTQ+” laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The context, only barely unspoken, is that Texas has recently passed a law that effectively \u003ca href=\"https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/87R/billtext/pdf/SB00008F.pdf\">bans most abortions\u003c/a> and introduced a policy that treats gender-confirming care for transgender kids \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/05/13/1098779201/texas-supreme-court-transgender-gender-affirming-child-abuse\">as child abuse\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s budget plan also include an additional \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/05/11/governor-newsom-proposes-reproductive-health-package-to-strengthen-protections-expand-access-and-welcome-businesses-from-anti-abortion-states/\">$125 million to expand access to abortions\u003c/a> and fund research into reproductive health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do want to make a deep point here: California is a pro-life state,” Newsom said, appropriating a term used by the anti-abortion movement to tout his proposed spending on expanded preschool, health insurance access and gun-violence reduction programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also chided Arizona, Florida and Texas for having COVID death rates higher than California’s: “There are a lot of folks out there that are pro- conception to birth but that fall wholly short of being pro-life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CalMatters reporter Grace Gedye contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Tack on the extra surplus money and you end up with a new record-high total: $300.7 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/9979834/embed#?secret=2LNgNb0NXP%C2%A0\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When discussing money on the scale of the California state budget, it’s easy to lose perspective. But to be clear, even by Golden State standards, that is an astounding amount of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What a difference two years makes. In May 2020, with the state still weathering the first surge of COVID-19, the governor’s Department of Finance projected a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2020/05/newsom-economic-forecast-criticism-california-model-recession-budget/\">$54 billion deficit and a year of Great Depression-level unemployment rates\u003c/a>. Neither came to pass, just the opposite: Boosted by rosy \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2021/01/california-budget-depends-on-staggering-wealth-gap/\">economic conditions for the state’s highest earners\u003c/a> and a massive influx of cash from the federal government, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2021/01/newsoms-record-breaking-budget-proposal/\">state coffers have been overflowing\u003c/a> for the last two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the governor and Democratic leadership in the Assembly and Senate, having to divvy up billions of new dollars during an election year is a good problem to have. But on financial aid to struggling families, the scale of the state’s drought response, \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/newsletter/2022-05-13/california-politics-newsletter-gambling-taxes-will-dominate-november-ballot-ca-politics\">what to do about the sky-high price of gasoline\u003c/a> and other pressing policy conundrums, not everyone is on the same page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But that isn’t stopping GOP lawmakers from weighing in, if only to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cagop.org/s/blog/ca-dems-ignore-the-obvious-MCZ2N2HI7YLFCAHEWHK6DQ7YEG3Q\">provide voters with a clear contrast\u003c/a> as Election Day approaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Newsom specializes in grand announcements and flashy sounding proposals, but he rarely follows through with effective solutions that actually help California families,” GOP Assembly leader James Gallagher from Chico said in a statement. “As Californians struggle to fill their tank and put food on the table, Democrats fail to provide any real solutions to cut costs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are other highlights from the governor’s latest spending plan:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Cash for Californians\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If the average Californian hears anything about today’s announcement it’s probably this: The governor wants to send $400 to most of the state’s car owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s been the governor’s idea to help drivers bear the cost of historically elevated gas prices. In the face of pushback from environmentalists, he also wants to throw in $750 million to entice transit agencies to make bus and rail travel free for three months. And lest he be accused to throwing money at those who don’t need it, the proposal is limited to drivers whose car are worth under an unspecified cap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite all that, there’s some distance between this proposal and the Legislature’s, where Democratic leaders \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-03-18/california-senate-assembly-weigh-refund-possibilities-amid-rising-gas-costs#:~:text=Gavin%20Newsom's%20proposal%20to%20offer,each%20California%20taxpayer%20and%20dependent.\">want to send cash rebates to Californians\u003c/a> making less than $250,000, car owners or not. And it’s even further still from the GOP plan, which is simply to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2022/04/california-gas-rebate/\">suspend the state gas tax\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have all the confidence in the world we’ll be able to square those modest differences and we’ll come around to a number and a strategy that’s in the best interests of Californians,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today’s announcement also answered another big question left unaddressed by the January proposal: Will an obscure amendment inserted into the California Constitution in 1979 compel the state to reroute some of the state’s extra cash back to taxpayers?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer, at least for now, appears to be no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutional provision in question, the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2021/05/newsom-tax-rebate/\">Gann Limit\u003c/a>, was approved by voters during the heyday of the state’s conservative “tax revolt” and capped per-person state spending to its 1978 level, after adjusting for inflation. Anything left over has to be sent back to taxpayers and school districts. With the state’s coffers as full as they are, the January budget blueprint projected that the state would breach the cap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with more spending on exempt types of expenditure, including infrastructure, the current plan is now $2.6 billion below that ceiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 id=\"h-eat-your-heart-out-texas\">‘Eat your heart out, Texas’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Budgets, as the cliche goes, are statements of values. Newsom clearly values \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2022/02/california-crime-abortion-guns/\">decrying the state of Texas\u003c/a> and its right-wing government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the policies-cum-anti-Texas-digs that Newsom rolled out today were a revision of the state’s business relocation tax credit program to provide “additional consideration” for businesses relocating from states with anti-abortion and “anti-LGBTQ+” laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The context, only barely unspoken, is that Texas has recently passed a law that effectively \u003ca href=\"https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/87R/billtext/pdf/SB00008F.pdf\">bans most abortions\u003c/a> and introduced a policy that treats gender-confirming care for transgender kids \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/05/13/1098779201/texas-supreme-court-transgender-gender-affirming-child-abuse\">as child abuse\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s budget plan also include an additional \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/05/11/governor-newsom-proposes-reproductive-health-package-to-strengthen-protections-expand-access-and-welcome-businesses-from-anti-abortion-states/\">$125 million to expand access to abortions\u003c/a> and fund research into reproductive health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do want to make a deep point here: California is a pro-life state,” Newsom said, appropriating a term used by the anti-abortion movement to tout his proposed spending on expanded preschool, health insurance access and gun-violence reduction programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also chided Arizona, Florida and Texas for having COVID death rates higher than California’s: “There are a lot of folks out there that are pro- conception to birth but that fall wholly short of being pro-life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom’s initial response\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473\">Politico’s explosive Monday-night publication\u003c/a> of a draft \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000180-874f-dd36-a38c-c74f98520000\">U.S. Supreme Court majority opinion\u003c/a> that suggests justices are poised to strike down Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that guaranteed the federal constitutional right to an abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours later, Newsom and the Democratic leaders of the state Legislature announced plans to introduce an amendment “\u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/05/02/following-draft-scotus-opinion-legislative-leaders-and-governor-newsom-announce-constitutional-amendment-to-enshrine-the-right-to-choose-in-california/\">to enshrine the right to choose in our state constitution\u003c/a> so that there is no doubt as to the right to abortion in this state.” For the amendment to be incorporated into the constitution, it would need to be passed by two-thirds of lawmakers in both the Assembly and Senate and approved by voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California will not stand idly by as women across America are stripped of their rights, and the progress so many have fought for gets erased,” said Newsom and Senate President Pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins (D-San Diego) and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) in a statement. “We know we can’t trust the Supreme Court to protect reproductive rights, so California will build a firewall around this right in our state constitution. Women will remain protected here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politico acknowledged the draft opinion has many caveats: It represents only the opinion of Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote the draft for the majority. It’s far from final — the draft was written in February, and the court isn’t expected to issue a final ruling until June or July. And vote breakdowns can change: Although four other Republican-appointed justices reportedly voted to back Alito in private conferences while three Democratic-appointed justices are working on dissents and Chief Justice John Roberts remains undecided, that lineup could shift in the final opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The draft ruling — the first to be released in the court’s modern history while a case is still pending — could supercharge an election season that’s getting into full swing with \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-voter-guide-2022/\">the June 7 primary\u003c/a> just a month away, raising the stakes in already competitive seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K6DnQwAsRQ\">first campaign video of 2022\u003c/a>, released Monday, Newsom strolls through a redwood forest while pledging to “always lead the California way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One prong of that plan: \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2021/12/california-abortion-newsom/\">Making California a “sanctuary”\u003c/a> for out-of-state patients seeking abortion, including by helping cover the cost of the procedure, transportation, lodging, child care, food and lost wages.

Atkins (D-San Diego) and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) in a statement. “We know we can’t trust the Supreme Court to protect reproductive rights, so California will build a firewall around this right in our state constitution. Women will remain protected here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politico acknowledged the draft opinion has many caveats: It represents only the opinion of Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote the draft for the majority. It’s far from final — the draft was written in February, and the court isn’t expected to issue a final ruling until June or July. And vote breakdowns can change: Although four other Republican-appointed justices reportedly voted to back Alito in private conferences while three Democratic-appointed justices are working on dissents and Chief Justice John Roberts remains undecided, that lineup could shift in the final opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The draft ruling — the first to be released in the court’s modern history while a case is still pending — could supercharge an election season that’s getting into full swing with \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-voter-guide-2022/\">the June 7 primary\u003c/a> just a month away, raising the stakes in already competitive seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K6DnQwAsRQ\">first campaign video of 2022\u003c/a>, released Monday, Newsom strolls through a redwood forest while pledging to “always lead the California way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One prong of that plan: \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2021/12/california-abortion-newsom/\">Making California a “sanctuary”\u003c/a> for out-of-state patients seeking abortion, including by helping cover the cost of the procedure, transportation, lodging, child care, food and lost wages.

The suspect's brother, Smiley Martin, 27, was arrested while being hospitalized for injuries sustained from the gunfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a police statement, Martin will be booked for possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a machine gun when his health condition improves enough to be jailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police booked Dandre Martin, 26, on Monday as a “related suspect\" on assault and illegal firearms charges. In addition to the six victims who lost their lives over the weekend, a dozen others were wounded along with Smiley Martin, as at least two shooters fired more than 100 rounds, sending people running for safety. Detectives and SWAT team members found one handgun during searches of three homes in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier on Monday, the Sacramento County coroner identified the three women who were killed as Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; and Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21.

Zach Eaton, a police department spokesperson, said investigators believe there were at least two shooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">The suspects were still at large, and authorities said they had found a stolen handgun and were reviewing video footage posted to social media that showed what appeared to be an altercation before the gunfire erupted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">Detectives were trying to determine the sequence of events before the shooting, and Eaton said they “don’t know if that fight actually led to the shooting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-71 Component-p-0-2-62\">A police camera captured part of the shooting, Lester said, and investigators have located hundreds of pieces of evidence amid a scene that Lester described as “really complex and complicated” — so much so that the bodies of the victims remained on the street hours later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1510642712042635278\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">The crime scene stretched across multiple city blocks, with dozens of blue and yellow evidence markers dotting the pavement. At least four of the wounded battled life-threatening gunshot injuries in hospitals, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">Kelsey Schar was staying on the fourth floor of The Citizen Hotel when she said she heard gunshots and saw flashes in the dark. She walked to the window and “saw a guy running and just shooting,” Schar told The Associated Press in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>The Sacramento Police Department is asking any witnesses with information about the incident to contact the dispatch center at (916) 808-5471 or Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-HELP (4357). Sacramento police says callers can remain anonymous. Anonymous tips also can be submitted using the free “P3 Tips” smartphone app. \u003ca href=\"https://sacramentopdca.evidence.com/axon/citizen/public/april3shooting\">Photos or videos can be sent to Sacramento police here.\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">Her friend, Madalyn Woodard, said she saw a crowd in the street scatter amid the gunfire and a \"girl\" who appeared to have been shot in the arm lying on the ground. Security guards from a nearby nightclub rushed to help the person with what looked like napkins to try to stanch the bleeding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">A video posted on Twitter showed people running through the street amid the sounds of rapid gunfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">The area where the violence occurred on the outskirts of the city’s main entertainment district is packed with restaurants and bars. Nightclubs close at 2 a.m. and it’s normal for streets to be full of people at that hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">The district is anchored by the Golden 1 Center, which attracts big-name concerts and is home to the NBA’s Sacramento Kings, who are hosting a game Sunday night against the Golden State Warriors. City officials have invested heavily in the area to promote development, and police said there would be extra patrols downtown ahead of the basketball game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Mayor_Steinberg/status/1510679178768642050\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">“This morning our city has a broken heart,” Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg said. “We don’t know all the facts but we know there were mass casualties in a very short amount of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">Officers were patrolling the area near the shooting site two blocks from the State Capitol at about 2 a.m. when they heard gunfire and rushed to the scene, Lester told reporters. They found a large crowd gathered and six people dead in the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">Twelve other people also were shot and wounded in the melee. Police urged witnesses or anyone with recordings of the shooting to contact police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">“We’re asking for the public’s help in helping us to identify the suspects in this,” Lester said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">Pop duo Aly & AJ performed Saturday at Sacramento’s Crest Theatre and their tour bus was caught in the gunfire, \u003ca class=\"\" href=\"https://twitter.com/alyandaj/status/1510687551748640769?s=20&t=Js6qaUKCWwZUU0Kp56uffw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the musicians said on Twitter.\u003c/a> No one in their touring group was hurt, the tweet said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-209 Component-p-0-2-200\">Sunday’s violence marked the third time in the U.S. this year that at least six people have been killed in a mass shooting, according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University.

The suspect's brother, Smiley Martin, 27, was arrested while being hospitalized for injuries sustained from the gunfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a police statement, Martin will be booked for possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a machine gun when his health condition improves enough to be jailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police booked Dandre Martin, 26, on Monday as a “related suspect\" on assault and illegal firearms charges. In addition to the six victims who lost their lives over the weekend, a dozen others were wounded along with Smiley Martin, as at least two shooters fired more than 100 rounds, sending people running for safety. Detectives and SWAT team members found one handgun during searches of three homes in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier on Monday, the Sacramento County coroner identified the three women who were killed as Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; and Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21.
