Blog Author's Input: Stephen Moore is certainly correct when he illustrates how California Governor Gavin Newsom, has taken police and fireman as hostages, in Newsom's attempt to extort more funding from the federal government to cover the California debt ridden budget.
As Moore points out, Newsom and his band of corrupt thugs are doing nothing to reduce the extravagant public pensions, which in some upper management positions, results in pensions greater than the individual was earning at the time of retirement.
Newsom and his cronies are simply un-indicted felons at this point in time. They have robbed the state treasury, loaded it with monumental debt and are now threatening to withhold funding of essential public safety services, if their demands are not met. How much more corrupt can one person be? And there are other Democrat governors doing the same thing.
