Legislators unveil budget proposal with more projected revenue than Newsom plan

State legislators took their first step this week toward approving a state budget for the coming fiscal year, introducing budget legislation with even higher revenue projections than the governor’s revised proposal.

State Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Oakland, and Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, announced the budget legislation Tuesday, roughly two weeks before the June 15 deadline when state officials are required to approve the budget.
