Newsom has repeatedly claimed that he is working with localities, but the results are looking to be quite the opposite. He has emphasized his \u201cpartnership with local leaders across the state\u201d and mentioned that 200 state parks currently remain open, but local leaders do not see it that way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, Mayor Kevin Faulconer\u2019s Chief of Staff Aimee Faucett tweeted:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">For the record, last night Mayor Faulconer\u2019s administration was notified by Governor Newsom\u2019s administration that he would be announcing the closure of ALL CA beaches. Minutes before today\u2019s press announcement Mayor\u2019s office was notified this would only apply to Orange County.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aimee Faucett (@aimeefaucett) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aimeefaucett\/status\/1255954477107916800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 30, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, a top Newsom administration official told reporters that the governor\u2019s advisors originally requested a statewide closure, but after hearing local leaders\u2019 concerns, Newsom decided to focus on Orange County.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further underscoring the lack of cooperation at the state and local level, many officials are now refusing to obey the state. When initial reports came out stating that Governor Newsom would close all beaches, many officials refused to submit and the Humboldt County Sheriff even stated that he wouldn\u2019t enforce the rule because it was unconstitutional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, many counties that have had no cases or a miniscule number are already beginning to open, further defying the governor. Modoc County, which thus far has had zero positive coronavirus cases, is easing restrictions in defiance of the state order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other counties, including San Luis Obispo, Tehama, Yuba, Stanislaus, Butte, Glenn, Sutter and Colusa, have also requested that the governor loosen their restrictions. There have also been numerous protests against the shelter-in-place order, including at least two in the state capital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Governor Newsom wants to show true leadership and cooperation, he should adopt decentralized command. Decentralized command is when a leader chooses to delegate to his subordinates and allow them to make decisions for themselves because they are on the ground and know the situation best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Governor Newsom may have a good deal of information regarding the coronavirus, but he is not omniscient. What works for Los Angeles County, an area with over 24,000 cases, may not work for Modoc County, an area with zero. To better resolve the crisis, the governor should allow individual counties to decide whether or not they can reopen because\u2014as evidenced by the defiant officials in Humboldt and Modoc\u2014his statewide approach is not working.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Nicholas Vetrisek Last Thursday, Governor Newsom closed Orange County beaches and has since begun receiving pushback from localities.
