FILE - In this March 16, 2020 file photo Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, urges lawmakers to approve legislation to provide up to $1 billion in new spending to combat the coronavirus outbreak, at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif. California Gov. Gavin Newsom wants $2.9 billion to spend on future coronavirus-related expenses with little oversight from the Legislature, worrying some lawmakers after the administration OK'd several several high-priced deals to purchase personal protective equipment from dubious sources that did not materialize. "I think the Legislature is concerned. I don't think that's overstating it," said Assemblyman Ting, a Democrat from San Francisco and chair of the Assembly Budget Committee. "I think we have to ensure proper checks and balances and that there is proper oversight." (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli,File)
