Governor Hairspray doesn't pay attention much to California's budget numbers when he signs off on a bill. It's as if putting on a green visor would mess up his costly coif.
So, in no surprise to the rest of us, Gavin Newsom was in for a surprise.
...
When Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law that set a first-in-the-nation minimum wage for healthcare workers, three words in a bill analysis foretold potential concerns about its cost: “Fiscal impact unknown.”
Now, three weeks after Newsom signed SB 525 into law — giving medical employees at least $25 an hour, including support staff such as cleaners and security guards — his administration has an estimated price tag: $4 billion in the 2024-25 fiscal year alone.
...
SB 525 is one of the most expensive laws California has seen in years and comes as the state faces a $14-billion budget deficit
...
No wonder Californians are bailing out. California has lost 800,000 residents during these Newsom years
...
Normal governors look at costs before they sign the bills, not the other way? Not to Newsom. He just goes along with what unions want ... and now expects that his next stop is the seat behind the desk in the Oval Office.

“Shut up, don’t you know I’m gonna run for President?”
25 bucks an hour not bad pay for the guy who empties the waste baskets and mops the floor.
Wow. Just. Wow.
Any nurse, PA or even medical office assistant in urban California is already far above this, especially RN’s.
Maybe some janitors and cafeteria workers could see a pay boost.
Gavin Gruesome is the USA’s Justin Trudeau. He can’t be allowed into national office.
What. Ridiculous bill
if you had two of those jobs in California for 80 hours you might make the SanFran poverty level of 98k
The Babylon Bee summed it well:
“California Proposes Another Minimum Wage Increase So People Can Afford Products Made More Expensive By Previous Minimum Wage Increase”
The selfish idiocy of this guy just keeps getting worse and he is on stand by if Traitor Joe is out and Biden is hanging by a thread.
Hospital workers are still mandated to take the vax?
Government-forced minimum wage = government-forced fewer good and services.
In this case fewer hospitals and fewer beds.
Go away you stupid Leftists including stupid Newsome.
This is discrimination. I smell lawsuits everywhere.
Did Newsome’s mom get banged by Fidel too?
This headline is along the lines of, idealist sticks a fork in the electrical socket known as communism. Finds out later that it isn’t a good idea.
“Newsom signs $25 minimum wage law for all hospital workers, finds out afterward it will cost California $4 billion”
Hey, no problemo ... there are countless money trees growing in CaliFUBAR isn’t their Gavin Nobrain?
Something about this guy just doesn’t add up, surely he can be a viable candidate for president if socialism is instituted ‘the right way’ as Rush said over the years. He really believes this and voters will flock to him as he will say “look what we did in California!” He is politically mentally ill for believing this.
I pray this man never gets anywhere near the White House.
Why stop at $25. Why not $30, $75, $100?
He sounds like exactly what we DON’T need in the oval office.....another Obama/Biden. I’ve never considered running for political office, but if there are no more qualifications than this....????
“...The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
