‘We shouldn't be playing politics with the voters' will': Democratic lawmaker slams Gov. Newsom over Prop 36 funding
(INSIDE CALIFORNIA POLITICS) — State lawmakers from both parties are calling out Governor Gavin Newsom and leadership in the legislature over a lack of funding for Proposition 36. The law, which stiffens penalties for repeat drug and theft offenders, passed by an overwhelming majority in 2024. Despite the widespread support, Governor Newsom did not allocate any funding for the proposition in his revised budget proposal, citing the state's $12 billion deficit. Democratic State Sen. Cathrine Blakespear expressed frustration over the funding battle on this week's edition of Inside California Politics. 'We just shouldn't be playing politics with the voters' will,' Blakespear said. 'The voters supported this at 68%. At the end of the day, we need to fund it. We need to implement this. We need to carry through on what the voters asked for, and that should be the bottom line.' Inside California Politics: June 14, 2025 The former mayor of Encinitas was one of several Democrats who unveiled their own budget proposal last week, which includes $110 million in one-time funding for Prop 36. However, the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst Office says it's not enough. 'I don't know if that's the right number or not, because there are so many numbers that are floated,' Blakespear said. 'But I do know that we need to have money for courts and we need sheriffs to have money and we need probation officers to have money, district attorneys. Implementing it means that there are going to be more people who are involved in the criminal justice system.' Governor Newsom, who openly campaigned against the proposition over concerns that it would drive up incarceration rates, argues it is up to local officials who supported the law to find the money. His office released a statement Wednesday saying he will nonetheless 'ensure the law is operationalized.' Never miss a story: Make your homepage 'There are 400 more people in jail in San Diego County than there were before Prop 36,' Blakespear said. 'So clearly the idea that there's no money available and that the money's not needed. That's just clearly not true.' Gov. Newsom must reach an agreement with the legislature before the start of the new fiscal year on July 1.

Cop leaves 19-year-old to die in street in DUI crash, California officials say
A police sergeant is accused of hitting someone while driving drunk, then 'leaving the man to die in the street,' California prosecutors reported. Carlos Gonzalo Coronel, 40, of Buena Park, who works for the Los Angeles Police Department, faces charges including drunk driving causing great bodily injury and hit and run causing a fatal injury, the Orange County District Attorney's Office said in a June 18 news release. Coronel's current employment status with the police department is unclear. When reached by McClatchy News on June 19, the department said there was no comment or statement available. The charges stem from a fatal off-duty Feb. 1 crash in Tustin, prosecutors said. After a night of drinking with his brother-in-law, Coronel was driving home drunk in his black Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck at 3:41 a.m. when he struck a man 'walking in the street,' prosecutors said. Imanol Salvador Gonzalez, 19, died in the collision, prosecutors said. Coronel did not call 911 or check on Gonzalez, who was found dead in the street by two people driving home from work minutes later, prosecutors said. 'His life was tragically cut short at the tender age of 19 years old by a hit-and-run vehicle,' said a GoFundMe established to assist Gonzalez's family. 'His family is devastated.' After the crash, Coronel drove to his girlfriend's home, prosecutors said. When his girlfriend drove him home, Coronel instructed her to avoid the street where the crash took place. Despite serious damage to the front of his pickup truck, Coronel did not call 911 to report the crash, prosecutors said. Coronel later searched the internet for reports of a fatal hit-and-run crash in Tustin and drove past police investigating the death without informing them of the crash, prosecutors said. 'Imanol was loved by his family, and he did not deserve to have his story end lying in the middle of a dark Tustin street alone while the police officer who hit him drove away because his self-preservation was more important than a human life,' District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in the release. If convicted, Coronel faces up to nearly seven years in prison. Tustin is about a 35-mile drive southeast from downtown Los Angeles.

Gov Newsom ‘handcuffed' police as LA riots expose ‘reactionary' leadership failure: former sheriff' s deputy
As violent protests erupted in Los Angeles, Calif., L.A. County GOP Vice Chair and former L.A. County sheriff's deputy Patrick Gipson issued a scathing rebuke of state and local leadership, accusing officials of negligence and political opportunism. "These riots, they're completely unnecessary," Gipson told Fox News Digital. "We didn't have to go to this length to see cars burning, businesses looted, livelihoods destroyed. It could've all been avoided." Gipson pointed the finger squarely at Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom, blaming him for failing to deploy the National Guard in time to prevent chaos. "Newsom is reactionary instead of pro-action," he said. "If he had called in the National Guard earlier, we would've saved billions of dollars in insurance claims and protected our small businesses." California Candidate For Governor Blasts Newsom While Walking Through La Riot Aftermath The protests, which began as demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), escalated into street violence and theft. The protests highlighted, for many conservatives, the consequences of the state's left-leaning approach to progressive criminal justice reform and immigration. Read On The Fox News App "ICE is here to enforce federal law. And if we can't enforce federal law in this state, what does that say about us?" he asked. Gipson also alleged that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was unable to act independently, suggesting that she has been taking her queues from Newsom. "I know Karen Bass did go in and said, 'this is not the way to protest.' They wanted peaceful protest, but that's not what we had," Gipson said. "She's taking her instructions from Sacramento and Gavin Newsom. If she had better leadership from him, I think we would have been off a lot better that we are now." WATCH: Newsom says people will be prosecuted to fullest extent of law Newsom attempted to cast blame on President Donald Trump for escalating the protests, claiming that they were peaceful demonstrations before the National Guard and his rhetoric accelerated the conflict. "Gavin Newsom does not have a handle on California," he said. "If he had said, '[President] Trump, can you come and help us prepare for this? I think he [Trump] would have helped. "Newsom is obviously setting up for his race in 2028 and he is going to cast the blame on Trump, saying that Trump didn't do his job." Steve Hilton: How One-party Democratic Rule Led To Riots, Burning American Flags And Attacks On Police In La The consequences of what Gipson described as "soft-on-crime" policies are, in his view, compounding the unrest. He cited the state's failure to properly fund Proposition 36, which was overwhelmingly passed in 2024 to curb back the radical policies of Proposition 47, as proof of Sacramento's disregard for public safety. "Gavin Newsom is not funding Prop 36. Store owners can't even go after criminals. Patrons are scared to shop. People won't even get on the freeway toward LA now," Gipson said. "They're afraid a brick's going to come flying through their car window." Reflecting on his experience as a former sheriff's deputy, Gipson said the state of law enforcement morale in L.A. is dire. "Law enforcement has not been able to do their job," he said. "Officers are afraid, literally afraid, to do their jobs because they don't want to go to jail for following their training. There's no backing from Newsom, none from Bass." "They're handcuffed," he added. "For over 10 years, Gavin Newsom has not protected law enforcement in California. They've been defunded, defamed and demoralized. And now they wait. They hesitate. And when you hesitate in this line of work, people get hurt." Gipson also faulted the bureaucratic chain of command for paralyzing law enforcement at critical moments. "The sheriff answers to the Board of Supervisors. The LAPD chief answers to the mayor. And when they can't arrest people right away, the violence just keeps going," he said. The solution, Gipson argued, is straightforward: consequences. In a statement to Fox News Digital, Newsom's office said that the Trump administration "didn't even tap into the additional resources available to clean up their mess." "Let's be clear: The National Guard wasn't needed in Los Angeles. State and local law enforcement were responding, and federal agencies didn't even tap into the additional resources available to clean up their mess. Calls for troops to handle a protest show a basic misunderstanding of how public safety works — which is rather shocking for someone who used to have a badge."
