California’s Governor struggled to find a coherent explanation for his state’s shortfall
At a press conference, California Governor Gavin Newsom blamed climate change “weather events” for the significant shortfall in the state’s public finances.
A reporter asked Newsom the following question: “Can we explain to Californians how we moved from $100 billion surplus to such a significant deficit in just a few years?”
After blaming volatility and saying the shortfall was anticipated, Newsom then spoke about unanticipated “rain bombs” that prevented the collection of taxes on time.
“Therein lied [sic] this blackout period that beguiled all of us,” Newsom explained, clearly struggling for words.
“If there was any indication that climate change has impacts well beyond those that are often promoted, I would consider our financial delays as just another example of why we need to tackle them.”
In response to video posted on Twitter, users were quick to mock Governor Newsom for his rambling, largely incoherent response.
“Weird. We also have ‘weather’ in Florida,” Tweeted one user.
“And we have a surplus. What we don’t have is a state income tax. Or the numerous other taxes and hundreds of regulations facing Californians. This could not be clearer. It is awful policies that are doing to California what we see on the streets and in the Government’s own financial numbers. Vote for a One Party State and you get bad ideas with zero checks or balances.”
