Gov. Gavin Newsom's finance director is set to present the governor's spending proposal for the state's 2026-2027 budget on Friday.
Newsom's administration forecast a "modest" $2.9 billion shortfall in the coming year, down sharply thanks to continuing windfalls from tech and AI stocks.
California's deficit is projected to reach nearly $18 billion next year, as spending is expected to offset, if not eclipse, strong tax revenues.
