Surplus...where did this surplus come from?

State surplus dollars in California? Why hasn’t it been used?

He's desperate to make himself look good since the recall is going thru.

I don’t qualify for penny of this money but GN has my vote. Not falling for GOP backed recall that brings a circus of idiots to the ballot. No thank you! If you qualify for this money, remember the GOP doesn’t have your back. All lip service.

Surplus? What surplus? I mean the tax payers definitely deserve it but what surplus?

Maybe some should be carved out to address the homeless. I don’t think they are going away.

Meanwhile in TX GregAbbott_TX just decides to arbitrarily put federal money that's supposed to go to citizens into 'rainy day' fund.

Lol. NPR trying to save another Socialist Governor. Can't stop the momentum now. American People think less of media than Congress. Hmm, the media is liberal and either lies or twists a story to fit their narrative. I wonder why they're not trusted?

Newsom should invest in desalination plants for CA. Stop sucking the CO River dry.

All of a sudden he comes up with this idea 💡

Bribe

Once again, I work and pay taxes and have bills. I make more than that, but COL in CA is expensive- why do I not rate a stimulus check. I’m sick of this

Is California in debt? They are running budget surpluses...all I see is Cali folk moving to my state and making me miserable.

giving back money to state residents from multiple billions from Feds? Send it back to the US Treasury instead, maybe it can sale the inflation being driven by printing trillions of dollars backed by nothing.

Bwahahaha buying support to keep his job. Typical pol.

So much winning and profits how do the Democrats do it year after year.

No reason people couldn't take the checks and vote as they wish despite the bribe!😎

This just sounds fake. There’s a block of tents down the block. What’s really going on?

SharinStone Gray Davis did same instead of investing in infrastructure. CA still hasn't recovered.

Bribery to stop his recall, money from people’s taxes.

Some people also don't seem to believe there's really a law requiring these payments. Here you guys go - it's from 1979. It was a ballot initiative for adding such a req. to the CA constitution. It passed.

Bye, bye to Kaitlyn.

Some people in here are not aware - California has a law that requires payments to it's citizens when a budget surplus hits a certain level. We've gone past that level with a $75B+ budget surplus. Sure, it helps w/ the recall that has no serious contenders, but its also law.

This is why california goes 'broke' every few years dumbass ideas like this

scattered site housing for low income Californians is desperately needed...

Put it towards a decent high speed rail system between LA and SFO instead.

We are very fortunate to have you as our Governor 💙🙏🏻 ReElectGovernorNewsom

There is no California surplus. Including underfunded pension liabilities, California is a trillion dollars in debt. The “refund” is nothing more than a political stunt to buy votes in the upcoming recall.

He better give state employees their 10% back.

Newsom is an awesome governor. Imagine if your governor was Abbott or DeSantis, or any republican governor. You’d be fu*ked.

Trying to buy the recall election?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Ummm... Even democrats can't defend this...

“State law requires that taxpayers get a rebate when a budget surplus hits a certain size,…”

Your move Caitlin Jenner

dear GavinNewsom, please fix EDD, UI, Medi-Cal, and everything else that has been broken for over a year now. I would like my unemployment benefits paid and my health coverage, please. I've been waiting since October for my application to be reviewed and was charged on my taxes.

Sounds like damage control to me…

thanks

Really getting nervous over the recall
