States across the country have budget surpluses, including federal coronavirus stimulus payments, and many governors are using the money for projects to fight so-called climate change.
The excess cash is also from tax collection and post-lockdown consumer spending, and governors of both red and blue states are directing funds to improve protection from extreme weather, which Democrats and the press blame on human activity and fossil fuels.
The Associated Press reported on the development:
Democratic governors such as California’s Gavin Newsom and Washington’s Jay Inslee have been clear about their plans to boost spending on climate-related projects, including expanding access to electric vehicles and creating more storage for clean energies such as solar. Newsom deemed climate change one of five “existential threats” facing the nation’s most populous state when he rolled out his proposed state budget this past week. --->READ MORE HERE

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday tore into President Joe Biden's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, pointing to the rising numbers of cases fueled by the Omicron variant and attempting to mimic the president's voice.
During a "Save America" rally in Florence, Arizona, Trump relished in attacking Biden, who made the defeat of COVID-19 a priority during the 2020 presidential campaign and has tried earnestly to battle the virus through increased vaccinations among the general public.
"We all knew that Joe Biden would be not so good but few could have imagined that he would be such a disaster for this country," the former president said. "There are four times more COVID cases."
He continued, mimicking Biden's voice: "Remember, I'm gonna get rid of COVID."
The crowd — filled with many of Trump's most passionate supporters — laughed at the impersonation, which also included the former president moving his hand in an attempt to impersonate Biden's gestures. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories and resources:
