SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - California Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to provide $20,000 stipends for teachers at a high needs schools and extend health care to older low-income immigrants in the country illegally.
It's part of the $329 billion budget he proposed Friday.
The Democratic governor is seeking a continued progressive agenda. His proposal increases spending by about $5 billion, but also boosts state reserves for any economic downturn.
His teacher incentives alone would eat up $100 million. His immigration proposal would provide health care for 27,000 older low-income immigrants who are in the country illegally.
