The Hills star Spencer Pratt unleashed on California Governor Gavin Newsom.
“The second round of $50 million funding, guess who took a FireAid grant? Let me tell you… Gavin Newsom and his Cal Vols office took a FireAid grant,” Pratt fired off in an Instagram video. “So that’s cool; we’d like to know how much you took and exactly what you did with the money. And I mean, dollar for dollar, what you did with it. Thank you!”
After the three-week wildfires ceased, two concerts were held to raise money for victims. According to the official website for FireAid, contributors raised “an estimated $100 million that has been designated for direct relief and will not be used for administrative purposes.”
(FireAid is entirely independent of the state.)
Despite these claims, new revelations of misused donations have surfaced after Sue Pascoe, investigative journalist for Circling The News, was tipped off about victims who never received FireAid money for their desolation.
During Pascoe’s testimony on Fox 11, she told Marla Tellez, “This FireAid money is not helping the people. It’s helping nonprofits, many of which have executives who are getting six-figure salaries.” Pascoe noted that Chris Wallace, media spokesperson for wildfire funds, told her the nonprofits are the only designated recipients of the FireAid relief money, and they are responsible for distributing the funds to whomever they please.
Official statements from the Annenberg Foundation, which was entrusted to manage the FireAid relief funds, say payments of $50 million and $25 million were distributed to approximately 120 organizations for wildfire relief, including El Nido, Vision y Compromiso, Home Grown and more.
Newsom's office states, "Neither Governor Newsom nor the State of California have received any funding from FireAid. FireAid is an independent organization not affiliated with the state or the Governor."

Gruesome Newsome is truly a con man.
Newsom’s voters in California don’t care. He is termed out but someone just like him will be elected as governor.
Ditto for Karen Bass who partied in Ghana while LA burned to the ground. She will be re-elected.
Newsom has $100M ready to go - regulations waived - for developers to put in Section 8 housing in the burned out areas - while residents cannot get permits to rebuild.
Another major Dem Leftist scam on the people and theft of funds.
"the Annenberg Foundation, which was entrusted to manage the FireAid relief funds"
Spencer was always pretty funny.
I am sure he is pissed about this stuff. And I think he probably has more “followers” than Newsome.
Newsome’s Social Media team will start putting out, “He is just a silly has-been reality TV star” stuff to deflect from the real story.
California wants to kick the "bourgeoisie" out of the state. They prefer every Californian to be a member of the "proletariat".
If you are independently wealthy (with a small business, perhaps?) and you own your own house? They want you to leave.
Karen Bass, the Mayor of L.A., went to Cuba back in the '70s because she's a revolutionary.

a real Heroine. I hope this fiasco gets more people to pay attention to how Dollars are circulated.
The Cantillion Effect. Financing the Financiers
To apply as an NGO to get $$ there is only a 6-question application. One successful outfit cleans bathrooms in schools.
Umm, there are no schools in the area. Much less toidies.
Like all pots of cash to enter CaCaLand this will be skimmed by at least 99% .
