SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled his California Blueprint plan, which outlines a $213 billion proposal.

The California Blueprint:
– Universal Pre-K
– Universal School Meals
– Highest per pupil spending ever
– More before, after, and summer school
– More arts and STEM programs
– More financial aid for college

All while keeping our classrooms safe.

The plan includes a $2.7 billion COVID package.

$1.2 billion would go towards bolstering testing, $583 million to get more Californians vaccinated and boosted, and $110 million more to support vulnerable populations.

Gov. Newsom also said that the spending bill could provide universal healthcare for all, including those who are undocumented — which would make it a first in the country.

Mark Larson, KUSI Contributor and AM 760 Radio Host, joined KUSI’s Logan Byrnes on “Good Evening San Diego” to discuss this proposal.
