Governor Hair Gel Vows to 'Redirect' Funds from Communities Not Addressing Homelessness
2024-08-11
"Homeless don't Vote!"
More election season antics.

[Breitbart] California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) vowed to “redirect money” from communities in the state that do not work to clear homeless encampments.

During a news conference on Thursday, Newsom spoke about how since the beginning of this year, “over 1,400 encampments have been removed” in California, adding that “thousands of thousands of additional encampments” still existed and needed to be cleared throughout the state.

Newsom previously issued an executive order in July for homeless encampments in California to be cleared. The executive order came after the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in June that under the Eighth Amendment, it was not “cruel and unusual punishment” for homeless encampments to be removed, or for people to receive jail time regarding the violation of anti-camping laws.

“We’re done with the excuses,” Newsom said. “And, the last big excuse was, ‘Well, the courts are saying we can’t do anything.’ Well, that’s no longer the case. So, we had a simple executive order. Do your job, there’s no more excuses. You got the money, you got the flexibility, you got the green light, you got the support from the state.”

#4  What Gavin is doing regarding homelessness is equivalent to removing barnacles from the Costa Concordia and repainting the exposed side.
