Gov. Gavin Newsom and his administration are making further contingency plans to shield the Golden State in case former President Donald Trump returns to the White House. Newsom and top budget officials are looking to establish an account the state can immediately draw on for disasters if Trump refuses to provide federal dollars for fires, floods and other emergencies. Newsom said he doesn’t have a dollar figure for the scenario his administration is discussing ahead of his January state budget proposal, but described it as “not an inconsequential consideration.”
