Governor Gavin Newsom trounced the Republican led recall election by a margin of almost 2 to 1 voted NO! to recall him. The shameful part is that some of the news media are saying the election cost the taxpayers $285 million, an absurd amount considering the results and that the Republicans tried five times before this to recall Newsom but couldn’t get enough signatures.
What the California legislature needs to do is change the recall requirements so that there has to be clear proof of malfeasance in the governor’s office. There should not be another recall because of frivolous reasons “just because” something minor provoked pundits to harshly criticize the governor’s actions.
