I did note that one the pro-Chevron protester shown was also black, btw, and he was trying to point out to what appeared to be a bearded white liberal male and a droopy white liberal female that Chevron=jobs for Richmond.
The “people” of California are allowing their state to be legislated out of existence.
After all of the businesses and working folks move out who will be left to pay the taxes that support this marxist utopia?
I wonder if the city of Richmond knows that.
Yeah. I bet they do.
You took the words right out of my mouth!
Where’s Ellis Wyatt when you need him?
“I am leaving it as I found it. Take it. It’s yours.”
We are soooooooo.... screwed!

The provisions would have required Chevron to give a total of $1 million a year to the citys construction training program, summer youth employment and an industrial arts training academy; create an urban forest in the city”
That is extortion and blackmail on the part of the local Govt.
If anyone but the Govt was doing it, it would be a felony.
