Time To Start A Recall Process For California

Noisy Room  "Recalling a governor has been done before (Gray Davis) in California for reasons not nearly as serious as those under present Governor Gavin Newsom. Procedures are here.

"Let’s take a look, shall we?

1. He pardoned several felons just last month including those that committed grand theft, solicited a murder for hire operation in a street gang network, and even forgery.
2. There is a growing homeless problem that is so far out of control the Center for Disease Control should declare several cities/counties a threat to public safety for disease control and prevention. In fact, the CDC spends more than $3 million out of their California office and most of that is earmarked for Los Angeles. 

3. Remember that boondoggle of a high speed rail system? Well, the federal government kicked in $2.5 billion and canceled a balance of $930 million since Newsom, for the most part, terminated the rail construction. There is some chatter about restarting the high speed rail construction where the cost would blow up to $77 billion. But hold on… there is more about this. California owes landowners under eminent domain. Seems many of those landowners moved away for nothing, literally nothing. Businesses wonder too about their financial sacrifice. Others could not sell their real estate that was not part of the rail system or eminent domain because it was too near the proposed rail project and the land was essentially declared worthless.

. . . 

4. Now, Governor Newsom has declared undocumented immigrants will get state-paid healthcare. The state already has financial obligations it has not paid and must honor to make things right for her citizens before he can go spend $98 million. Where did that number even come from in the first place? Oh, another detail is a fine on people who don’t buy healthcare insurance, known as the individual mandate. He included in this budget (state budget is $214 billion) an additional $450 million over 3 years to fund insurance subsidies. Don’t forget that water tax too, it is still on the table while the state power companies are toggling power to users to save dollars. Sounds like a third world country more every day. Can the state even fund the $7.8 billion in the state employee pension fund? Oh, all diapers and menstrual products are tax exempt, there is rental assistance, and a major housing shortage. Swell eh?
