California Governor Jerry Brown said he’ll propose a new budget next month and plans to campaign in Republican districts to win support for a statewide referendum to retain $9.3 billion of higher taxes and fees.
The plan will show how he intends to erase the most- populous U.S. state’s remaining $15.4 billion deficit, said Brown, 72. The Democrat will outline his new budget May 14. By tradition, that’s when California governors update their initial spending measures with the latest revenue projections.
