Newsom proposes defunding police, prisons, public safety as California faces massive deficit
Fox News via MSN ^ | 6 June 2024 | Hannah Grossman

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.

Hasn't he and his comrades stolen and laundered enough?

You'd think the California public would've caught on by now.

Nancy Pelosi bragged about the gazillions she brought into San Francisco and it's a shit hole.

Have any of you seen the video shorts of how long Gavin has been getting money for the homeless since around 2008? In each of the years he is describing the money he will use and how he is going to go about solving the problem.

Sixteen years this man has been funneling money and the problem gets worse.

There is big business in not solving the homeless problem. Loads of money. If the problem is solved then guess who has to find real jobs?

*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.*

The President is Nayib Buckle. He’s one of us. In the one-hour interview he went over how freedom decays when government grows. While ‘not commenting’ on US politics he pointed out a few things here that send us down that slippery slope. He’s spot on.

They get to be in a real life action movie, a dystopian one.

Newsom is attempting to force ALL retail businesses OUT of business and ALL taxpayers to FLEE the state in fear.

What remains are SERFS mostly illegals who become subjects of their RAT Marxist overlords. Make no mistake, THAT IS THE GOAL HERE.

China will have a ready-made labor force when they buy up all the agricultural land and they'll feed the world WITH STRINGS ATTACHED.

Newsome is a PUPPET OF CHINA. The long game is Marxist state comprised of ELITES AND SERFS WITH NO IN-BETWEEN.

To all Californians and New Yorkers:

WARNING WARNING : AVOID FLORIDA!

It's sucks in every way. There are huge snakes, giant alligators, sharks, mosquitoes the size of dive bombers, roaches the size of Winnebagos, and they're all very mean and hungry. Even the minorities are WHITE SUPREMACISTS, you can't say “gay” and if you do you are hunted down by crazed cis “Florida men”. 50% of the populace dies from hurricanes, disease and famine annually. There is no running water, you have to drink from puddles. Crime is high and there are cannibals.

Even though the last sentence may remind you of your current home state, for your own good STAY AWAY!

Hey, you left out the godawful humidity, ravenous fire ants, homeowners insurance that costs $10,000 a month, sheriffs who remind their constituents of the castle doctrine and encourage homeowners to shoot home invasion perps (looking at you, Grady Judd).

We also have the worst governor ever. Actually governs like a conservative, which means he hates nonwhites, libs, commies, and Jehovah's Witnesses.

Don't come here. You'll hate it.

They had a program to ship women from out of state to get abortion in CA. All costs paid.
Maybe that could be a program to eliminate?

Defund the Governorship. That will go a long way towards solving not just the financial pinch, but many other problems.

“...there are cannibals.”

“Burp. That’s what we said after eating Joe’s uncle. He was nowhere near Africa. We ate him in Orlando. Now we regularly prey in Disney theme park patrons. Happiest place on earth. Heh.”

We also used to say “Welcome to California. Now go home.” Everyone forgets that we used to be a fairly conservative state, and still mostly are except for the Bay Area and So Cal, then all the fruits and nuts from other states came here for our climate and beautiful scenery, bringing all their liberalness and messing it up for native Californians. Now they’re heading to other states to do the same thing to them.

Exactly. Illegals and criminals first, law abiding citizens last.
