Petitioning one\u2019s elected leaders from overbearing regulations is an inherent right of every American, even when we\u2019re in a national crisis. So why did San Diego County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher belittle the public for doing so?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

News broke last Wednesday afternoon of a leaked memo from the California Police Chief\u2019s Association advising local police department\u2019s throughout the state to prepare for an upcoming order from Governor Gavin Newsom to close beaches and state parks across the state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rightfully, this overreach created uproar. Citizens contacted Governor Newsom and their local elected officials, leading to numerous local officials sending a letter of opposition to the governor. Thankfully, this action caused Governor Newsom to backtrack and limit his beach closures to just Orange County.<\/span><\/p>\n

Things worked as they should, the people voiced their grievances to the governor, he heard them and altered his order.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sadly, Supervisor Nathan Fletcher decided to use this opportunity to lecture his constituents and fellow elected officials. Minutes before Newsom\u2019s press conference, Fletcher tweeted: <\/span><\/p>\n

Fletcher is a cunning, calculating, and ruthless politician. There is no way he would have posted this tweet without knowing beforehand what the governor was going to announce. It’s common knowledge that Fletcher and his powerful wife, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, have a direct line to the governor\u2019s office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like clockwork, Governor Newsom announced his scaled back order and Fletcher posted another tweet to teach us\u2014the public\u2014a lesson. <\/span><\/p>\n

If his actions weren\u2019t obvious enough, the Mayor Kevin Faulconer\u2019s Chief of Staff confirmed that Governor Newsom was planning to close all beaches.<\/span><\/p>\n

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
