Gavin Newsom: Age-old \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11851866/very-troubling-what-the-departure-of-some-big-tech-firms-means-for-californias-business-horizon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">concerns about the state's high tax rates and barriers to development have been compounded\u003c/a> by recent spats over Newsom's signing of labor-friendly legislation and his handling of business regulations during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the state's major corporations and their wealthy executives have so far steered clear of a burgeoning effort to recall Newsom from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would say still at this point, big business is not participating in the recall,\" said Tom Del Beccaro, chair of Rescue California, one of the committees driving the recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if history is any guide, these companies — with war chests capable of transforming the recall campaign overnight — are likely to remain on the sidelines until Newsom's fate is more clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Honestly, I think big business is willing to continue to play the game of trying to get along with the governor, or they're leaving the state,\" Del Beccaro said. \"I think that's a mistake and it hurts the people of California and hurts the businesses that remain. They need to step up and participate in this process.\" [aside tag=\"gavin-newsom,newsom-recall\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recall campaign has until March 17 to collect nearly 1.5 million valid signatures and trigger an election, which could take place in the fall. Two groups are spearheading the effort: California Patriot Coalition, the official recall petitioner, and Rescue California, a committee raising money and organizing signature-gathering campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recall organizers say they've raised around $3.5 million from the two committees through 14,000 donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The largest donations to date have come from Orange County entrepreneur John Kruger's consulting firm Prov 3:9 LLC, developer Geoff Palmer, venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya and DGB Ranch, a mysterious Los Angeles-based company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Businesses in the state are not a political monolith — though they occasionally can unite to form a political force, as with last year's $76 million campaign to defeat property tax increases proposed in Proposition 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A wide array of businesses fumed when Newsom signed Assembly Bill 5 in 2019, which restricted the ability of employers to classify workers as independent contractors.

And I feel pretty strongly and passionately about that. The fact that we have had so many of our jobs that are leaving our state for other states, the fact that our state continues to see a dramatic increase in homelessness in virtually every city in our state. And yet we were able to do the exact opposite in San Diego the last couple of years where we reduced homelessness by double digits. It’s really about coming back for our quality of life, our neighborhoods and our state, to get people proud of our state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>That slogan “California comeback” — some might think, “Oh, that’s kind of like, ‘Make California Great Again,'” Donald Trump’s MAGA slogan. What would you say to that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A California comeback is the time for us to unite everybody.

We wanted to get people back to work safely, have that conversations to make it happen. And we did. The fact that in virtually every state, every state across this country, schools are reopening. But California isn’t — that’s a lack of leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The foundation of your campaign is the governor’s mishandling, as you would say, of the pandemic. But San Diego County hasn’t done any better than most other California counties. In fact, it’s doing worse than some Democratic-controlled counties like San Francisco and Alameda when it comes to per capita case and positivity rates. So how do you make the case that you can do better as governor when you didn’t necessarily do better as mayor?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, the foundation of my campaign is (that I’m) a mayor that got results in the second-largest city in our state. I think it’s incredibly important that we follow the science, and what we have seen with our shifting metrics coming out of the governor’s office, shifting virtually every other month, is that a lot of it was not based on science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Kevin Faulconer\"]‘The fact that our great state is at the bottom of vaccine distribution is unacceptable. That’s what needs to change.’[/pullquote]The fact that we closed outdoor dining down with absolutely no science behind outdoor transmission\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>was occurring. The fact that the governor came out several months ago and shut down playgrounds for kids and families before he changed his mind a week later. That’s not science. And then the fact that the governor’s office doesn’t share the reasoning, the data behind some of these decisions with folks like yourself in the media and the public, because they said it was too complicated for people to understand — that’s the wrong approach. I would take a dramatically different approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Even though there’s lots to criticize when it comes to how the governor has handled the pandemic, there isn’t really a playbook for how to do it. A lot of states are struggling with this. And when you look at the case rates per capita and positivity rates per capita in San Diego, they’re not really better than other parts of the state. So, why should people believe that you’ll do a better job as governor?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We all have the same goal: Let’s keep Californians safe. And we all have the same goal: Let’s get Californians vaccinated. And yet, as the most entrepreneurial, innovative state in the country, we were almost dead last … The fact that our great state is at the bottom of vaccine distribution is unacceptable. That’s what needs to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When you were mayor, there was a big outbreak of hepatitis A — I think the biggest outbreak in 20 years. There was a grand jury investigation that said the crisis was mishandled by the city and the county. So, what did you take from that, and what should voters take from that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"kevin-faulconer\"]I tell you, we had a hepatitis A outbreak in San Diego County and it hit us in the urban portion in the city particularly hard. It changed everything. It changed how we look at what was not happening in terms of bureaucracy. And I had one goal: get people vaccinated. We did an all hands on deck and we had folks out in the riverbeds. And the fact that we stopped it in its tracks, I think spoke volumes about the city and the county and the partnership, with one goal: keeping people safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gov. Newsom just signed a bill extending the moratorium on tenant evictions, in part to prevent homelessness. Would you have signed that as governor?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah, strongly supported the eviction moratoriums in San Diego. Again, we want to protect folks. We want to keep people healthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Republican brand has been damaged in California for some time. A lot of voters will be wondering: What kind of Republican are you? You’re more moderate on some things. You support abortion rights and LGBT rights. But at the same time, you voted for Donald Trump in November. And that’s after all of his lies about the rigged election, his policy of forced family separations at the border, and so on. So why should voters believe that you’ll be a moderate as governor when you voted for Trump?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think I’m known as a Republican who brings people together. I’m a big believer and you’re going to have a difference of views and opinions and parties, and that’s fine. But I treat people with dignity and respect, even if we disagree on some of the issues. That’s the type of approach that I would take as governor. And I think that’s the approach that’s been lacking right now in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If you had known that the president was going to encourage his supporters to storm the Capitol to disrupt the confirmation of the election, would you still have voted for him?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Kevin Faulconer\"]‘I think I’m known as a Republican who brings people together.

That was a very dark day in our nation’s history. Absolutely wrong. And they need to be held accountable. And like I said, I know that Gavin Newsom wants to make this election about Donald Trump, but it’s not Donald Trump’s failure on the vaccine rollout that’s happening in our state. It’s not Donald Trump’s failures that Gavin Newsom has allowed $31 billion of fraud from our\u003cb>\u003c/b> economic development department.

"content": "\u003cp>There are two respected, statewide, nonpartisan pollsters in California: The Public Policy Institute of California and the Institute of Governmental Studies at UC Berkeley. As Newsom faces the increasing likelihood of a recall election, those polls are in an unusual disagreement about how Californians feel about the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In two surveys, conducted during an almost identical time period last month, the pollsters found very different states of affairs for California’s increasingly embattled governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One day after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11858051/poll-finds-newsoms-approval-plummeting-as-recall-looms\">the UC Berkeley poll found\u003c/a> Gov. Gavin Newsom’s approval rating underwater, the public policy institute released results indicating he’s still largely liked by California voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public policy institute poll finds 54% of California adults and 52% of likely voters approve of Newsom’s job as governor; that’s not a big difference from last January, before the COVID-19 pandemic, when 51% of adults and 49% of likely voters approved of Newsom.

Not only extending protections that were due to expire this Sunday ... but also providing mercy relief: $2.6 billion, drawing down those federal supports.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the move is risky because of two big unknowns: Is $2.6 billion enough to cover all of the unpaid rent in the state, and how many landlords will take the deal? If landlords refuse the deal, the state would pay off only 25% of tenants' unpaid rent to make sure they qualify for eviction protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one knows for sure how much unpaid rent there is in California, the nation's most populous state, with nearly 40 million people. Estimates range from a high of $3.6 billion — from the advocacy group Housing NOW! California — to a low of $400 million from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Newsom signed a law that banned tenants from being evicted for not paying their rent during the coronavirus, but only if they paid at least 25% of what they owed after Sept. 1. The move prevented what many feared would be an “eviction tsunami,\" but still required tenants to repay their debts, empowering landlords to take them to court to recoup their money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those protections would have expired on Monday. SB 91 extends those protections through at least June 30 — retaining the 25% minimum requirement — while also giving landlords and tenants the opportunity for a clean slate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1355221268891459585\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are painfully aware of the plight that California families are facing as they struggle to pay their rent or mortgages at no fault of their own because of the pandemic that we are in,” said state Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, D-San Diego. “So today we help Californians keep a roof over their head and keep their heads above water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom administration officials say California is so far the only state using federal stimulus dollars to entice landlords to forgive debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation goes beyond protections enacted in New York last month that freeze evictions and certain foreclosures for two months, or until May 1 for renters who assert that they've faced hardship from the coronavirus pandemic. The measure also requires a statewide multilingual call center, in part to help landlords and tenants in vulnerable communities who lack internet access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some housing advocacy groups worry that California's legislation gives too much power to landlords and shouldn't be voluntary. If landlords refuse the deal, the state only pays off 25% of a tenants' debt — enough to ensure they could not be evicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is “a troubling power imbalance,” said Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, among many objecting to that provision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not a perfect deal,” said Chiu, who heads the Assembly housing committee, said Thursday as he and Democratic Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon noted lawmakers must do more to fill the gaps before the new protections expire in June. Yet, “At this deadliest of moments in the pandemic, we can’t have tenants pushed out into the streets,” with the current protections set to expire this weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While this new law will help many landlords and tenants, we are worried about the most vulnerable tenants who maybe have landlords that have been wanting to get them out and now are going to be missing out on protections because of the shortcomings of this new law,” said Francisco Dueñas, executive director of Housing NOW! California. “It's really going to be up to the goodwill of the landlords to decide whether their tenants get the rent relief. We really feel that's going to obviously leave out a lot of folks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenants' advocates also point out that the bill still allows evictions for reasons beside falling behind on rent, such as lease violations or nuisance claims, which they fear some landlords will take advantage of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11857277/protesters-block-san-jose-courthouse-in-demand-for-stronger-state-eviction-protections\">there were at least 527 evictions\u003c/a> between the start of the statewide coronavirus lockdown on March 19 and the end of 2020, according to data from sheriffs’ offices in the nine counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some groups representing landlords, while welcoming the relief, also voiced concerns with the specific terms of the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"evictions\"]“Getting dollars to landlords is imperative.

Gavin Newsom was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11856850/california-lifts-stay-at-home-orders-for-all-regions\">lifting the state's COVID-19 stay-at-home orders for all regions\u003c/a> on Monday, a move that seemed to catch many lawmakers off guard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it’s not unusual for legislators to privately have gripes about the governor, Newsom's announcement pushed some of those grievances out into the open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several lawmakers openly complained on Twitter about learning Newsom was relaxing COVID-19 restrictions via social media, rather from the governor’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Evan_Low/status/1353791621108703232?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/laurafriedman43/status/1353773182054932480?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Chad Mayes, I-Yucca Valley, said many of his colleagues are tired of feeling like they’ve been left out of the loop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is this very, very real frustration, not just among Republicans, but also among Democrats in the Legislature, that the administration has not done a good job of reaching out to them to be able to communicate with them on the decisions that are being made,\" Mayes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just about Newsom’s abrupt lifting of the stay-at-home orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers have skewered Newsom’s Employment Development Department for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11857101/unemployed-californians-pay-the-price-as-edd-struggles-to-sort-fraud-from-fair-claims\">mismanaging unemployment claims\u003c/a> during the pandemic. They’ve complained the governor was making decisions unilaterally while the Legislature was in recess because of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayes said lawmakers have a right to be informed and included.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Legislature is a coequal branch of government and the new administration has really sidelined the Legislature as related to the pandemic,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Consultant Robin Swanson said Newsom risks losing support for key proposals, like the budget, if he doesn’t improve his relationship with lawmakers. Luckily for him, Swanson said Newsom recently hired a senior staffer, Jim DeBoo, who has a long history in the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that the governor's going to need to rely on those relationships and really strong communication with those members to move his agenda forward,\" Swanson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obviously, DeBoo's arrival has not led to a quick turn around in the governor's office, which has long faced criticism for its lack of communication and go-it-alone style.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Swanson acknowledged Newsom is facing some unprecedented challenges right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The governor is drinking water from a fire hose and has been for a couple of years now between a once-in-a-century pandemic, an economic collapse, record-setting wildfires, a collapsing utility and PG&E and so forth,\" Wiener said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Politics' tag='politics']Wiener said there are always times when communication could be better. But he said it’s healthy and normal for there to be tension between governors and lawmakers. And Wiener brushed off comparisons to Newsom's \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Many-casualties-in-Newsom-Peskin-war-of-words-3294756.php\">poor relationship\u003c/a> with the San Francisco Board of Supervisors when Newsom was mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That Board of Supervisors went out of its way to poke then-Mayor Newsom in the eye to oppose anything that he was for,\" Wiener said. \"So it was a very different kind of dynamic. And I don't see that dynamic at all in the governor's relationship with the Legislature.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked in a press conference Monday about whether he left the Legislature out of the loop on his decision to lift the stay at home order, Newsom said sometimes he needs to act quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Do we delay that for a long, protracted, comprehensive outreach or do we just move forward?\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether or not lawmakers accept that explanation, or look for ways to reassert themselves, will become more clear in the coming weeks. And with a possible recall of the governor on a future ballot, Newsom will need all the friends he can get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
