End the Emergency. Now.
Gavin Newsom has repeatedly suggested a state’s current COVID “case rate” is the measure of success. Currently, Florida’s case rate is lower than California’s.
Florida has fared better in every respect, including age-adjusted mortality. Their kids have been in school without masks and their businesses have been open without mandates.
Meanwhile, Newsom continues to brag about imposing vaccine mandates on young children, while opposing them for his biggest Special Interest donors. Even the New York Times now reports the COVID risk for most kids is “so low as to be difficult to quantify.”
The solution to this madness is my Resolution, ACR 46, to end the State of Emergency and terminate Newsom’s emergency powers. The problem is legislators are too useless to pass it.
Yet that hasn’t stopped them from getting paid more. Their per diem “allowance” was just raised to $214 per day, over $40,000 annually. I am again declining the per diem entirely and also refusing the salary increase.
But I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the legislation Newsom did just sign: bills to ban gas-powered leaf blowers and require “gender neutral” toy aisles. You can rest easy, California’s biggest problems have been solved.
Meanwhile, Tesla has left for Texas. 74 other companies moved their HQ out of California the first half of this year. And 182,000 people packed up U-Hauls last year. Our government is beyond broken, and it’s up to us to fix it.
