GAVIN NEWSOM IS A LYING SACK OF SHIT

California governor Gavin Newsom 's proposed new budget would slash funding for the police as the state struggles with a massive deficit of at least $45 billion

 

Gavin (God I Want To Be President) Newsom, the governor of the formerly great state of California, has as problem.  He tells stupid lies.

He is facing a huge budget deficit.  He says it is a paltry $27 billion.  The Legislative Analysts Office, which is a more-or-less non-partisan operation, says it is at least twice that.  The legislature has 8 days to get their shit together on the budget before they start losing their pay over their inaction.

Newsom has said, on the record, that there would be NO cuts to law enforcement and public safety.  He was, as usual, lying his ass off.

The current proposal, which is NOT finalized, would hack $10 billion from the DOJ law enforcement division and $80 billion from the prison system.  It would also chop $97 billion from court operations.  

The state does though have enough money for $1.7 billion for equity related climate goals.  Whatever the fuck those are.

Newsom also wants to cut a few million from county probation departments.  Maybe that realignment crap is not looking so rosy to the counties now.
