$21.3 Billion Loss Of Reserves Under Newsom
As Gavin Newsom enacts his final budget as governor, I have been looking at all eight of his budgets. The first post was about spending on employee compensation and benefits, which is the third largest category of state spending. The second post was about spending on public schools, which is the second largest category of state spending. The third post was about spending on Medi-Cal, which is the largest category of state spending. This post is about what happened to budget reserves under Newsom.

Now that the Legislature and Governor have finalized the 2026-27 budget, GFC will be taking some time off until the Legislature reconvenes August 3. Prepare for a very busy legislative and election season filled with dozens of bills, ballot measures and races about which GFC will have actions to recommend.
