Where the Faulconer governor money is coming from
Regardless of where you fall politically (center, right, left) Newsom needs to be recalled. He's a failed leader, and lacks the competency (and intellect) to run the state. He was the youngest (and worst) mayor of SF, and he's the worst governor of California. He's gotten where he has for the same reason as JFK. ...Socks3742
