Newsom loves spending money, making pronouncements and running in place. While he is willing to make himself and others feel good, his efforts to help the homeless helps just the “homeless” industry, not the homeless.’
“California’s legislative analyst Tuesday ripped Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposed $1 billion homelessness plan and urged lawmakers to counter with a more focused, goal-oriented strategy for one of the state’s most vexing problems.
In a new report, the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office advised caution with Newsom’s sweeping plan, calling it unclear and rife with potential implementation headaches.
“We recognize that there is no obvious right answer as to how the state should address the homelessness crisis,” the report opens. “That said, we find the governor’s budget proposal falls short of articulating a clear strategy for curbing homelessness in California.”
Newsoms’ own government agency denounces the scam. We have a real problem and Newsom only sees a way for political gain. Sad. No wonder President Trump wants to move it to solve the problem.
