@CNN @XavierBecerra Republican MAGA Steve Hilton Doesn’t understand economics. If thinks California is a small midwestern state. He’s clueless Steve Hilton has a small midwestern mentality. Midwestern states- do not have the huge infrastructure needs that California maintains yearly. schools etc. parks Beaches Corporate infrastructure Housing Etc. @XavierBecerra knows and understands that California state and local tax revenues primarily fund education (K-12 and higher education), health and human services (such as Medi-Cal), and public safety/corrections. The state also uses these dollars to maintain infrastructure (like highways and roads), fund environmental programs, and support local community services. A breakdown of where California's tax dollars go reveals exactly how the budget is utilized: 1. Education (Over 50% of the State Budget) More than half of every state dollar goes toward California's public education system. This funds: •K-12 Schools: Operational costs, teacher salaries, and specialized programs for public schools. •Higher Education: The University of California (UC) system, California State University (CSU) campuses, and California Community Colleges. 2. Health and Human Services (Approx. 30–40% of the Budget) This is the second-largest category of state spending and assists vulnerable populations. It pays for: •Medi-Cal: California’s Medicaid program, which provides health coverage to low-income individuals, families, seniors, and people with disabilities. •Social Services: Child welfare programs, foster care, and CalFresh (food assistance).

The #CALeg budget’s upstream investment in the county #CalFresh and #MediCal eligibility workforce boldly refuses to accept H.R. 1’s cruel cuts to food and health care as a foregone conclusion. #FirstRespondersToPoverty Read our full statement: cwda.org/press-release/legis…

This. I mean, we have been hearing about a lot of stable able-bodied people who appear not to be able to get through the ballot curing system. Now imagine how hard it is to navigate more complex systems (or remember back to 2020 when a lot of folks needed to apply to CalFresh).

The County is stepping up in-person outreach to help residents understand major federal changes to CalFresh food benefits that took effect April 1, 2026. countynewscenter.com/live-we…
