LETTER TO THE EDITOR

‘Thanks’ Gavin Newsom

In a federal lawsuit, Governor Gavin Newsom accuses the Trump Administration of violating federal law, usurping local authority and wasting financial resources in the deployment of troops on  the streets of Los Angeles.

Okay, Gavin. Let’s talk about wasted resources.

How about the projected cost of $128 billion for the high-speed rail project that has yet to lay one mile of track? Thanks, Gavin.

How about $30 billion – or was it $40 billion? – in Employment Development Department (EDD) funds that went to criminals, death row inmates and overseas syndicates because of lax oversight by you and former EDD director Julie Su? Thanks again, Gavin.

How about $13 billion in health care for illegal aliens – excuse me, undocumented migrants? The amount equals the current $13 billion budget deficit – a structured deficit that you refuse to talk about.

Thanks for nothing, President Newsom!
