Newsom confirmed in a statement that he is scrapping his plan to qualify a competing public safety measure for the upcoming November ballot. He says he had the votes but could not meet the deadline to “secure necessary amendments to ensure this measure’s success.”

Newsom: closed Santa Monica schools for over 400 days on directive from smmcta while his children attended private school, mindlessly lost $32 billion taxpayer dollars on fraudulent unemployment during covid, paid his friends for masks that never shipped to the us, built vaccine and drug factories that had to be shut down, lied about fire prevention efforts and spending, closed California prisons and released the inmates without rehabilitation onto our streets, wasted over $27billion without tracking for the homeless industrial complex. Anyone who can continue to support this has no brain.
