Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled an updated $203.3 billion budget proposal that would cut school funding, cancel a planned boost in public pensions spending and draw down reserves to make up for a projected $54.3 billion budget deficit.
In Newsom’s budget proposal, the California State University and University of California systems would lose 10% of their state funding.
It’s possible state workers will get a 10% pay cut. SEIU Local 1000 President Yvonne Walker says that without bargaining, that would mean two furlough days per month. She also says it doesn’t have to happen, “Because clearly we have a choice in this matter.”
Lower salaries for state workers would cause further setbacks for Sacramento businesses as they start reopening after weeks of shutdown.
