Condemned by Gavin Newsom, anti-crime measure Proposition 36 passed. It rolls back the excesses of the George Soros- and LA DA George Gascon-backed Proposition 47, which downgraded most thefts from felonies to misdemeanors if the amount stolen was under $950.
71% of Californians supported it in a September survey. Retail chains and mom and pop stores have been hit hard by theft, and smash-and-grab robberies by organized retail crime gangs.
