There are so many large issues that this could be spent on: 1. Pushing pension funds toward solvency (perhaps the rising stock market has helped a bit there already). 2. Reducing fire hazards by burying power lines. 3. Improving the dire housing situation by providing funds for development of more housing, or incentivising cities via money payments to encourage more housing. 4. Providing incentives to companies that are leaving for Texas, thus boosting long-term employment prospects. Are any of these included in the spending plan? It appears that a huge bulk of it is simply a giveaway to the voter base that is likely to vote for this Governor next year. The only positive I see is that there appears to be some work to alleviate the housing issues by reducing pressure on renters (and landlords), thereby averting further catastrophes in housing (even more people becoming homeless).
