The California Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) has published a series of reports criticizing Gov. Gavin Newsom’s education spending plans and recommended that lawmakers reject them. The reports were published in February after Mr. Newsom announced the 2024-25 fiscal year budget last month.
The Democrat’s budget proposal is an attempt to balance out what his office estimates is a $37.9 billion shortfall, although analysts put that figure closer to $68 billion.
