#10  Denying the request sure does make it look as if he's hiding something doesn't it.

#8  Look for how much CalPers money is invested in the Chinese electric car company. That is your answer to this mystery.

#7  ...Cal OES replied that if any details of the contract were to be made public now it could jeopardize the agreement.

WTF? How and Why? If the contract is on the up and up it could surely survive a little daylight. If not, then it's hinky as hell and needs to be exposed. Since it's a contract with Chicoms, the suspicion must be that it's crooked.

#6  IMO, he leads (for now) the competition for USA a$$hole governors - but, the Pennsilvanian one is a strong contender. And there is always Whitmer.

#4  Giggle. Boy Governor's lawyer is claiming -- get this -- "exemptions for records reflecting attorney work product" and "attorney-client privilege."

If that's his best defense, he's busted.
Wonder what his cut is. How much is PIK / payment in Peking Pomade?

#3  First line of the article: "Awarding a no-bid, $1 billion contract...."

Says it all right there. Newsom can probably retire right now if he really wanted to.

What a f'in scoundrel Newsom is.

#1  That's not gonna fly. Public contracts are public records. Pomade Boy is gonna lose this, he knows it, so something really hinky is going on
