Under a plan approved Monday by the state Legislature, millions of low-income Golden State residents will receive $600 stimulus payments this spring, in addition to stimulus checks issued by the federal government. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that help is also on the way for small businesses, which will be offered grants and tax deductions to keep them afloat. “Our small businesses are dying, and we simply cannot let that happen,” said Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris, D-Laguna Beach. Newsom was expected to sign the measures Tuesday.
