Newsom proposes defunding police, prisons, public safety as California faces massive deficit

Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., proposed slashing budgets regarding public safety, such as prisons and law enforcement, as the state simultaneously grapples with a crippling deficit and doubles down on climate goals relating to equity.

The California Democrat's proposed budget, released in May, notes that "difficult decisions" are necessary to address the estimated $27.6 billion deficit, which is projected to continue for years to come. It includes a $97 million cut to trial court operations, $10 million to the Department of Justice's Division of Law Enforcement and more than $80 million to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

A Newsom spokesperson initially told Fox News Digital that there were "no cuts to law enforcement." (They lied)

"The budget proposes numerous ways to make government more efficient and reduce costs for taxpayers, including cuts on inmate spending. Since Governor Newsom took office in 2019, the state has made record investments in law enforcement, including $1.1 billion to tackle crime, support police, and hold criminals accountable," the spokesperson said.

Another story I read today said Kalifornia is hemorrhaging law enforcement officers to other states.

Going to states that won’t undercut their enforcement efforts and won’t defund their budgets/incomes.

Let me tell how well this works.

I was a conference in San Diego this week and had occassion to dine in the Italian District.

Looked great, weather was perfect, we dined outside.

Effing crazy people were all around screaming at shadows and I was on alert the entire time, instead of just enjoying my meal and the company I was with.

After dinner we walked the opposite way from these lunatics, who really should be institutionalized.

One had a bump the size and shape of a softball protruding from his stomach. Effing alien? Cancer? Tumor.

Weird...

San Diego wasn’t any different that San Jose or San Francisco.

I prefer dinner in Los Gatos, Carmel or Palo Alto

He does this when the state can’t account for hundreds of millions in homeless funding.

I was speaking about legislators and governor..I don’t know what you’re referring to - who is the El Salvador leader? I don’t think I’m in on the joke.

CA is always going to be wealthy, it’s baked in with the deep water ports and the world’s most advanced agricultural sector. How much greater the state could be under rational governance can only be speculated... someone should give it a try some day.

I think prisoners should be fed a vitamin and mineral pill, water, and offal and cheap veggies, for the meals, if not oatmeal.

My menu choices are cheap and healthy.

No cuts in climate cretinism, health care for illegals, or genital mangling surgeries for kids. Way to go, Newsance!

Why not go all the way and defund public schools and the stae government,

and, VOILA!

No reason for California to exist at all, and could be split into a bunch of new states, with one of those states given to Mexico to house all of he aliens who want to come to America; call it, Mexrica

And now we’re flooded with brand new illegal aliens so he wants to defund and destroy the citizens security? Gee, that’s a horrid move even for a Marxist pig like him. Will he be defunding and reducing his own security detail?

Now that “The Law” applies only to political opponents and we already know who they are, the solution is simple. Some barracks buildings, some barbed wire...

Surely when they pick all those fruits and veggies from the San Juaquin valley they must trim the dead parts, stems and other refuse off before bagging/packing them up for wholesale?

Let the convicts have all those trimmings! I’ll be that would save the state millions annually.

I think those are good ideas for CA. Building a wall on the east side of the State is another good idea.

With cuts to the trial courts, law enforcement, and corrections, I expect that is a lot of folks being laid off.

So no more taxes from them. Will they become the new homeless, and need to be fed and housed?
