   (INSIDE CALIFORNIA POLITICS) — California State Senator Tony Strickland is   
   slamming Governor Gavin Newsom for not funding Proposition 36 in his   
   recent budget proposal.   
      
   “I think the most essential role of government is public safety. Prop 36,   
   passed by 70% of the vote in California, in all 58 counties, including the   
   most liberal counties in California, San Francisco and Marin, voted in the   
   affirmative on Prop 36 to make crime illegal again. But this governor   
   hasn’t put the money in the implement the will of the people,” Strickland   
   told Nikki Laurenzo on this week’s edition of Inside California Politics.   
      
   The Huntington Beach Republican has served in the state capitol since   
   2012. When asked about what has changed in his time as a lawmaker,   
   Strickland noted there is not as much awareness in terms of subject matter   
   on major issues.   
      
   “Its not easy, because we’re dealing with 5,000 different bills, to be   
   experts on all these different issues,” Strickland said. “Elected leaders   
   need to go out and in their community and hear from the citizens of their   
   districts and people from around the state of California. And that’s why   
   I’m really in shock that this governor has not funded Prop 36. The   
   people’s voice was heard. They want to make crime illegal again in   
   California, and now the governor is not funding that initiative. I am   
   shocked.”   
      
   Strickland also pushed back against Gov. Newsom’s claim that the state’s   
   $12 billion deficit is due to President Donald Trump’s tariff policies. He   
   did, however, praise Newsom for allocating more funds toward water   
   management and resources for firefighters. Nikki Laurenzo also sat down   
   with democratic strategist Kevin Liao to discuss the party’s weaknesses   
   going into the 2026 elections.

   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
