In 2019 a similar bill passed unanimously and was sent to Newsom. At the time, [...] Newsom asked [the bill author] to rescind the bill with a promise to create a budget fix.

"$11 million actually going to children is completely unacceptable, but $16 million going through my sketchy slush fund is A-OK"
Knew motherfucker was corrupt. 39 kids only out of 16 million. Where rest go? She be on the front page of every paper and news. He should be hounded day and night for answers.

Um. Where the fuck is the rest of the public's money? Should Gavin Newsom be in prison right now?
