In the last few months it's become abundantly clear why it's so easy for certain state governors to issue overreaching edicts and ask people to sacrifice: Because they have no intention of actually living by the rules they set for everybody else.
Today's case-in-point is this report about California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his previous promise to join other state workers in taking a pay cut:
Bill Melugin ~ Earlier this year, Gov. Newsom ordered state workers to take a 10% cut to their salaries & he pledged to also take a cut. But the @sacbee_news found Newsom has been withdrawing his full monthly salary of $17,479. His staff blamed an "administrative error."
Hey, at least they haven't blamed Trump (at least not yet).
Jeriamee Leeman ~ I have my shocked face on right now. LOL!
Yep, so do we.
Pradheep J. Shanker ~ Oops.
Skid Willie ~ Gosh darn those "administrative errors," huh?
Alison Poole, Sapphic Supremacist ~ It's like when his vineyard could remain open during the pandemic.
VekTor ~ So ... this "administrative error" is going to be fully corrected retroactively ... right?
RIGHT?!
Heimish Conservative ~ Sounds like something Newsom should have pointed out the first paycheck he was issued instead of waiting for someone else to expose.
Ronald dahl ~ For thee but not for me should be the DNC slogan.
MaskKat ~ Bet he's had electricity at both his home and his winery this whole time, too.
That sounds like a safe bet.
