(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.
