Is Gavin Newsom the best governor in California history?

[Papageorgio]

Gavin has driven California to #6 in violent crime, 8th in property crime, #1 in homelessness.

Great jog Gavin! More crime and more homelessness.

My father worked at the Palo Alto facility and knew Mr Hewlett and Mr Packard...
They were instrumental in the first moon landing. It is a shame it's gone. Just like the refinery at Benecia my Grandfather helped wire up as an electrician. One politician can destroy a legacy in a few years.

He sure has been on a roll. California just passed Japan as the 4th largest economy, and that all happened under him.

Newsom is fighting Trump's dictatorship hard. He is definitely in the conversation for best governor.

Businesses that have left or are leaving under Newsom’s governorship.

• Chevron (2024): Moved from San Ramon to Houston, Texas.

Texas seems to be the big benefactor in California’s over regulation, over taxation and terrible corporate atmosphere.

your to late synth, there was another thread or two about this saying just the opposite....

• 
  Job Declines: Some researchers estimated a 2.7% to 3.2% decline in fast-food employment, equating to thousands of jobs lost.
• Price Hikes: Fast-food prices in California have grown at roughly double the rate of national trends.
• Automation: The rise in labor costs has accelerated the adoption of automated kiosks and mobile ordering systems.
• Mixed Impact on Workers: While those who kept their jobs with consistent hours benefited from higher earnings, others faced reduced hours.

Under the leadership ship of Newsom, California has wasted billions in taxpayer funds on several major, long-delayed, or incomplete projects, most notably the High-Speed Rail, which has consumed over $16 billion without laying operational track. Other significant wasted or stalled projects include the $450 million failed 9-1-1 system upgrade, the


Cal financial system, and various, largely ineffective expenditures on homelessness.

Unfinished or Inefficient Projects

• California High-Speed Rail: Initially projected to cost $33 billion to connect LA and San Francisco, costs have ballooned past $100 billion, with the "bullet train to nowhere" in the Central Valley facing over a decade of delays and over $16 billion spent without a single mile of operational track.
• Next-Generation 9-1-1 System: California spent $450 million to upgrade its emergency 9-1-1 system following the 2018 Camp Fire, but the project failed, leaving the state back at "square one".
• FI$Cal (Financial Information System for California): An ambitious, long-overdue tech project aimed at integrating state finances, which has dragged on for over a decade, costing taxpayers over $1 billion.
• Court Management System: A failed, abandoned technology project for California courts that cost taxpayers $500 million.
  
  
• Capitol Annex Project: A controversial, high-cost project to demolish and rebuild the historic state capitol annex, often cited as an example of mismanagement and waste.

Come on and build a new canal in central America to bypass the three western pacific states ports.

In 2019 Newsom promised Californians to end the homeless problem.

So $24 billion later homelessness is up 22%.

With all his failures, why would Democrats want hin to run as their candidate? Doesn’t the Democratic Party have a better candidate?

Newsom fails to protect Californians from fraud as the fed has to step in an do the job Newsom can’t do.

Feds’ fraud takedown: Just the start

Federal authorities arrested eight people in Los Angeles tied to a hospice fraud scheme involving more than $50 million in intended Medicare losses.
