The “California Way”

Yesterday Newsom delivered his State of the State speech. It lasted 17 minutes. Asked to address our state’s problems, the unbearably long-winded Governor had little to say.

He certainly had nothing to say about crime. Earlier in the day, I’d held a major press conference to end the Prop. 47 mess Newsom helped create. I then walked into the Capitol for the hearing on the bill.

While voters overwhelmingly support it, the radical “Public Safety” Committee killed my bill on a party-line vote.

This is far from over. Newsom’s enablers at the LA Times were so worried they devoted their entire editorial to attacking me, even calling the crime problem a “work of fiction.” There’s now a ballot initative circulating, called Stop Smash and Grabs, that would reverse Prop. 47.

One thing in Newsom’s speech did catch my attention. He suddenly wants to “address rising gas prices” with tax relief. If he’s serious he’ll back my bill to suspend the gas tax. Otherwise, it’s just the usual puffery.

Puffery is how I’d describe a new slogan he rolled out: “The California Way.” That’s supposed to be a good thing, like when he told Biden we’re a “model for the nation.”

We know how Newsom’s “California Way” is ruining the greatest state in the country. We can’t let it become the “American Way” and ruin the greatest country in the world.
