Gov. Gavin Newsom doubles down on opposition to Prop. 36
Briefly

Gov. Gavin Newsom reflected on the sacrifice of law enforcement families at the memorial, stating, "Its about family. We're mourning the loss of your loved one and I'm sorry." He acknowledged the emotional burden carried by the families of fallen officers during the ceremony honoring those who died in the line of duty.
At a press conference, Newsom criticized Proposition 36 for not addressing organized retail theft, stating, "Prop. 36 never included organized retail theft, it never addressed that issue." He emphasized that the CHP task force, in place since 2019, is crucial for tackling organized retail and vehicle crimes.
Newsom pointed to the effectiveness of the CHP task force, noting its success in combatting retail theft: "Recent crackdowns on organized retail theft could be traced back to the CHP task force, which recovered $13 million worth of stolen goods and arrested more than 1,400 people."
