Bags of cash to be handed out by Newsom to illegal aliens

California Goes Full Communism

• The wealth of the workers is to re-distributed by Gavin Marx Newsom to illegal alien law breakers who are citizens of other nations.
• Free health care, free education, government services, taxpayer funded lawyers and so much more.
• And the moron voters keep re-electing Leftists and giving away their money.

(KGTV) - Gov. Gavin Newsom’s budget proposal includes a plan to set aside funding for San Diego-based nonprofit groups and other community organizations that are helping migrant families as they arrive at California’s border.

According to the Los Angeles Times , the governor’s plan calls for $20 million to be allocated to migrant services and immigration rapid response programs. If approved, the funding would begin July 2019 and continue for the next three years.

Additionally, Newsom is asking that $5 million be available to address immigration-related emergencies that may occur during the 2018-19 fiscal year.

The LA Times reported a good percentage of the state funding would go to San Diego groups -- collectively known as the San Diego Rapid Response Network -- that provide aid and shelter for asylum-seeking migrants that are allowed legal entry into the U.S. but are then released into the community as they await asylum proceedings.

Many local groups have asked for more help in recent weeks, as thousands of migrants make their way to the border to seek asylum in the U.S.

Earlier this month, the groups’ leaders took the issue directly to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, and the board voted in favor of putting a plan in place to address the problem.

The governor’s budget proposal also includes a $260 million expansion of Medi-Cal that would provide health coverage for migrants who are young adults and lack legal status in the U.S.

California Readies $1.6B Contract for Design, Construction of 1st High-Speed Rail Segment

(KTLA)  -  California officials on Tuesday moved toward awarding a $1.65 billion contract to design and construct the tracks and system for the first segment of its beleaguered high-speed rail project.

The action taken by the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s board of directors was a first step in moving ahead with a contract they hope to award by next summer. It’s part of the authorities’ plan to get track up and running in the state’s Central Valley ahead of a 2022 deadline to meet the requirements of federal grants the Trump administration is now trying to take back.

U.S. and international businesses can apply for the contract, and whoever wins it would be responsible for designing and building rail infrastructure along 119 miles in the Central Valley as well as maintaining it for a period that could be as long as 30 years. A U.S. subsidiary of German rail giant Deutsche Bahn AG has already been awarded a $30 million contract for early operation of the trains.

The $1.65 billion is just a sliver of the $79 billion it’s estimated to cost to build a high-speed rail line between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The contractor would design and build all of the necessary infrastructure, including track and systems, signal systems, automatic and positive train control, platforms and overhead electrification systems and voltage stations. The state has already launched construction in the Central Valley on civil work such as building new viaducts and separating roadways from areas for track necessary to prepare for the full high-speed rail system.

California’s rail authority is first trying to finish track between the Central Valley and San Francisco before turning toward Los Angeles. Whoever wins the contract to design and build the first section would be likely to win similar contracts for the entire system from Bakersfield to San Francisco, said Frank Vacca, the project’s chief program manager.

“This contract envisions the successful bidder is guaranteed Bakersfield to San Francisco,” he said.
