CA Court Budget

There's been plenty of press on the new CA courts budget. Here's The Recorder's article:

Newsom's Proposed Courts Budget Includes Millions for New Judges, Courthouses -- The proposal includes $100 million in "equity funding" aimed at equalizing how revenues are divided among California's 58 trial courts.
Newsom’s proposal also includes new funding for court technology projects, appellate appointed counsel, higher salary and benefit costs for judges, court and branch employees and court data collection. 
“I welcome the governor’s continuing commitment to sustainable funding in his budget proposal for the judicial branch,” Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye said in a prepared statement. “He clearly recognizes how important equal access to justice is for all Californians.”
