This retail clerk thinks so and tells him so to his face, not realizing that she’s talking to the actual manager. Newsom persists in the fantasy that California has the 10th toughest retail theft laws on the books.

Unbelievable. Silicon Valley Bank, $100k in “behests.” But the worst is the $2.3 million his wife made in salary, with the money coming from entities that need a good relationship with elected officials; e.g., AT&T, Comcast, Kaiser, PG&E, etc.
No idea how and why this is legal.

I didn’t even include the fact that he doesn’t keep his promises, particularly economic promises, the cycles of tax increases and spending, inaction on public pension reform, capital gains tax volatility, over the top education spending while simultaneously underinvesting in the UC and CSU systems, lack of concentration on infrastructure (water management, transportation and other essential services), environmental cost burdens, housing crisis, healthcare spending, and his national political ambitions conflicting with the burden of running the Great State of California…into the ground.
