California counties must comply with state and federal COVID-19 rules if they want part of up to $1 billion in funding through the state budget, according to details of a budget deal expected to win approval in the Legislature.

So Gavin can ignore federal immigration laws and declare California a sanctuary state and the federal courts rule that Trump can't do anything about. But Gavin can make his universal face mask ruling and the counties must obey or state funding will be cut off.

Wouldn’t it be a shame if the residents of those counties were to withold their state taxes then. Darned shame indeed.

Hey, the Legislature voted to give him this power, and the people vote for the Legislators. System is working as designed. If the people don’t like it they can quit electing Democrat morons.

As opposed to here in Pennsylvania where the Governor is acting as a dictator in direct opposition to the stated will of the Legislature, even to the point of suing them.

Isn’t that the way leftist authoritarian governments always work? Authorities get all the power and the people obey.

Wonder what authority he has to do that since CA Assembly/Senate pass funding laws. Or am I wrong?

Look at that out here in Marin County California and all these Democrat politicians just love power m

they know they have completed under control out here and they almost don’t even know what to do with it

and so they get up every day and they think gee ! would else can I do to dictate control over people !!

it’s actually really funny to watch

conservatives like me I just don’t give a crap

I just got a bandanna around my neck when I go to store to protect the store otherwise I don’t give a crap

they try and scare me. I don’t give a crap

they can tell me what to do I don’t give a crap

they can say all kinds of laws and stuff but guess what ? they have to have somebody to enforce all this crap

this is been going on for decades

I’m a mountain biker they tried to ban us from all the parks and all the trails I just told them screw you ! I’m going anyway catch me

so this is about the way it works with authority

Wait... didn’t the Democrats try to Impeach Trump for ‘withholding’ money from Ukraine b/c he wanted Ukraine to pursue an investigation... changing US policy.

So.... Newsom can withhold money but Trump can’t.... more democrat hypocrisy....
