Newsom faces new recall effort amid California’s budget deficit, public safety crisis

California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is facing another recall effort amid the state’s budget deficit and public safety crisis, Politico reported Monday.

Rescue California, a citizen-led group, recently announced that it has launched another effort to get a recall vote of the governor on the upcoming state ballot. The group told the news outlet they will serve Newsom’s office with recall papers on Monday.

According to the group’s website, they believe Newsom “has abandoned the state to advance his Presidential ambitions, leaving behind a $68 Billion budget deficit and a public safety, immigration and education crisis.”

They argue that the governor should be removed from his position for providing 700,000 illegal immigrants with free health care, which is costing California taxpayers $3 billion per year. The group slammed Newsom for “cutting vital programs for veterans, school children, the disabled and the homeless.”
