SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown is preparing a spending plan as California faces its most optimistic financial outlook in years, yet the Democratic governor’s intention to stick with a frugal fiscal agenda could put him on a collision course with Democratic lawmakers who seek to restore state services lost during the recession.

After years of deep spending cuts to education, health and social programs, Brown and California lawmakers will be debating this year how to spend the state’s money rather than battling over what to cut.
