NEWSOM: NO CONFLICT IN CORPORATE GIVING TO WIFE'S NONPROFIT

 

Gov. Newsom's wife launched a nonprofit and it accepted at least $800,000 donations from companies that lobby his administration.

 

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom says he sees no conflict of interest with the nonprofit launched by his wife accepting donations from companies that lobby his administration.

 

The Sacramento Bee reports the nonprofit launched by Jennifer Siebel Newsom has received at least $800,000 in donations from corporations that lobby state government.

 

Siebel Newsom is the chief creative officer for The Representation Project, which focuses on gender equity. Donors to the nonprofit include Pacific Gas & Electric, AT&T, Comcast and Kaiser Permanente.

 

The couple's most recently released tax returns from 2019 show Siebel Newsom took a $150,000 salary from the nonprofit that year.

Facing Dry Year, CA State Water Board is Draining California Reservoirs

 

CA reservoirs were designed to provide a steady five year supply for all users, and were filled to the top in June 2019.

Excerpts:

 

“In the last 14 days, 90% of Delta inflow went to sea. It’s equal to a year’s supply of water for 1 million people.

#ManMadeDrought,” Central Valley farmer Kristi Diener said.

 

Diener, a California water expert and farmer, has been warning steadily that water is unnecessarily being let out to sea as the state faces a normal dry year.

 

“Are we having a dry year? Yes,” Diener says. “That is normal for us. Should we be having water shortages in the start of our second dry year? No. Our reservoirs were designed to provide a steady five year supply for all users, and were filled to the top in June 2019.”

 

“You’re looking at our largest reservoirs less than two years ago. They were absolutely teeming with water from 107% to 145% of average!” Diener says. “Our reservoirs held enough water for everyone who relies on them for their water supply, for 7 years. We are barely into our second dry year. WHERE DID IT GO?”

“Before our magnificent reservoir projects were built, California never had a steady and reliable supply of water. Now water is being managed as if those reserves don’t exist, by emptying the collected water from storage to the sea, rather than saving it for our routinely dry years,” Diener says.

 

“Our water projects were designed to be managed for the long term providing a minimum five year supply, but California has now put us on track to have a man made drought crisis every time we don’t have a wet season.”

CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR WON'T LIFT VIRUS 'STATE OF EMERGENCY'

 

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom says he will not lift the coronavirus state of emergency on June 15. Newsom has said he will lift most of the virus restrictions on that date.

But Friday, Newsom said he will not lift the state of emergency that gives him broad authority to issue alter or suspend state laws and regulations.

Newsom said he won't end the state of emergency because the virus "is not taking the summer months off."

Republicans in the state Senate have tried repeatedly to pass a concurrent resolution to end the state of emergency. But Democrats in the majority have always blocked their efforts.
