California's leadership just did what the US federal government can't right now because of political gridlock -- propose an all-new round of stimulus checks. Of course, the new round of payments is only for citizens of the Golden State.
In public remarks on Monday in the city of Oakland, California Governor Gavin Newsom proposed a second wave of $600 stimulus checks, part of his plan to give $8 billion in cash payments to millions of California residents. This will be made possible thanks to the governor's $100 billion economic recovery plan supported by a large budget surplus and an apparent windfall in state tax revenue. And his plan doesn't just stop at a new round of one-time stimulus checks -- he's also promising to increase rent assistance (to the tune of $5 billion), as well as some $2 billion in cash payments to struggling Californians who've gotten behind on their utility bills.
