California lawmakers passed a placeholder budget on Thursday, ensuring they continue to receive their pay while negotiations with Governor Gavin Newsom over a final budget continue. The legislation meets the constitutional requirement to pass a budget bill by June 15 but does not represent an agreement with the Governor. Key issues, including how to address a $28 billion deficit, remain unresolved. Democratic lawmakers are negotiating with Newsom over details, with disagreements on budget cuts and funding for various programs. The Assembly's budget plan rejects many of Newsom's proposed cuts and aims to protect funding for schools, housing, and safety net programs.

ARIZONA BUDGET: Senate and House off until 8am tomorrow. Senate side does not appear to have votes to pass, whereas House Republicans say votes exist to pass budget in their chamber. Long day expected tomorrow.
House has adjourned until 8 a.m. Saturday; the Senate is in recess until that same time. I've never seen a drive toward finalizing a state budget break like this -- it's always been a push to get the work done in a marathon session, often ending at dawn. This means no agreement.
The House has the votes to pass the state budget. To allow time for the legislative language to be drafted and distributed to members for review, the Speaker has decided to adjourn and reconvene in the morning at 8:00 a.m., at which time we will pass the state budget.
