Instead of spending $13 million on new positions for the high-speed rail fail, the Governor should prioritize our most beloved community heroes.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By even proposing this, Gov. Newsom shows where his true priorities lie. Despite already being at a massive deficit due to the coronavirus pandemic, he proposed $125 million in aid for illegal immigrants. Apparently, he can find millions to give to illegal aliens, but has to shut down a home for 200 veterans that actually served in uniform for our nation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pditty5150\/status\/1265297238747516928<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus far, Gov. Newsom has largely failed in his response to the coronavirus and subsequent budget deficit. The state needs real solutions and evicting soldiers is clearly not one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ecopoly\/3294740902\/in\/photolist-629pFC-8YWn8T-3cMVWe-5GDxvk-8KST1F-6GAQp-6GAHV-6GAX7-5xPwwi-6GAT8-7jmJn4-69XXRU-5tkfst-4epmie-5QBMGf-a8e7ce-e1phNB-b9fKVz-adik5J-adik2E-e76bqs-2bDVFM-8sKrq3-8QuhAF-8BvNLe-bnFnbH-5xPEJe-68ZGXG-bjTTqg-93ZVAa-bsAfux-5ngRvS-6i41Dj-YfoiF-Dacre-98myAF-7UVXk-WDFNx-8Bwyeg-dVcCdH-dhkk2h-dVcC5r-dVcFan-8Se2xE-dVifk7-dVibv9-6hG2VR-dVcA2k-bDXcrT-8Sb78p\">Photo by Timothy Hurst via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Nicholas Vetrisek On May 21, the Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Subcommittee\u00a0on State Administration and General Government rejected Gov.
