California Governor Gavin Newsom promised to surrender his emergency powers to govern under a public health emergency by June 15. But yesterday during a vaccine lottery event, Newsom claimed it wasn’t the time to surrender any of his powers, claiming “uncertainty in the future” is reason enough for him to maintain his power to enforce mask mandates and business restrictions.

“The emergency remains in effect after June 15,” he said.

When asked why, he said, “Because we’re still in a state of emergency. This disease is still in effect. It is not taking the summer off.”

Great meme, but should have been Faux Chi.

I'm starting to dislike Gavin Newsome.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent governor?

Meanwhile MA is free and open. I’d never thought I’d see the day. Every time I walk into a public place without a face diaper I think how stupid and pointless the whole thing was.
