OPINION:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom should retire from politics a lot sooner rather than later (“Trump rails against ‘incompetent pols’ Newsom and Bass as Los Angeles wildfire spreads,” Web, Jan. 12). Both the state he governs, and U.S. politics in general would do much better without his brand of “leadership.”
Newsom’s governance has led to fire department budget cuts, education failures, high gas prices, the early release of convicted felons, widespread homelessness and more. His leftist, self-serving policies are destroying a state with significant, ongoing wildfire and earthquake risks — yet he will somehow manage to paint himself the hero in the aftermath.
I think we have all learned a great lesson here: The time has come for us to be a lot more diligent the next time we vote someone into office.
