California - money magic

Now you see it, now you don't. A two-fer.
From Axios:

Newsom says first responders will be first victims of state budget deficits
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that the federal government has a "moral obligation" to provide funding for states in its next coronavirus relief bill, noting that police officers, health care workers and firefighters will be the first ones laid off as a result of massive budget deficits.

And from Los Angeles station KTLA:

California to spend $28 million to help asylum-seekers arriving from Mexico
California is freeing up as much as $28 million to help immigrants arriving from Mexico and being released in the U.S. until their court dates, a sharp contrast from other border states that have emerged as foes of President Joe Biden’s immigration policies.

We can see his priorities and they are not his constituancy.
