Can a couple who command such immense wealth and live in such palatial surroundings understand ordinary, working people?
This home, now for sale, housed Newsom and Siebel before they moved to the elitist enclave of Ross in Marin County.

Is Gavin Newsom’s marijuana ‘legalization’ initiative a scam?
it does not appear to be headed to the ballot soon as Chris Roberts in the SF Weekly reports:
” There’s no timetable on drafting legalization ballot language. There’s not even certainty as to who will write it — or if it happens at all in 2016. There are just questions — and one tall politician, surrounded by admirers in Carhartts, smelling faintly of terpenes.”
Nonprofit “Donations”: Best government money can buy!
The Sacramento Bee reports:
Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom behested $642,000 in payments from Comcast, AT&T, the Tides Foundation and others to several causes, including this year’s Special Olympics, We Day California 2015, and Newsom’s inauguration events.
Why is Gavin Newsom a “Yosemite Centennial Ambassador”?
Odd choice of individuals here for “Yosemite Centennial Ambassadors.”
Terry Tempest Williams seems to be the only legitimate choice.
It is hard to imagine Newsom or Napolitano appreciating nature!
Newsom restricted access to nature by putting through entrance charges to the San Francisco Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum during his tenure as mayor.
Similarly, entrance charges to Yosemite have been hiked, despite the fact that the US squanders countless billions on weapons and the military. There is plenty of money to keep these free!
Gavin Newsom donates $1,000 to Hillary Clinton
It comes as no surprise that Gavin Newsom comes in on the plutocrats side of the wealth divide!
This brings to mind the time when Obama visited San Francisco and avoided being photographed with Newsom because of the latter’s stand on gay marriage.
Is Newsom really a liberal?
Orange County Register commentator John Phillips questions whether Gavin Newsom is really a “liberal.”

Gavin Newsom and Cohort Rev. Amos Brown Confront Black Muslim Protestors
Obviously, Newsom is too busy running for governor, because, in this video interview, he says that he has not had a chance to review the Mario Woods slaughter by the SFPD.
Newsom Interviewed at Willie Brown…oops Ed Lee Inagauration
Both Brown and Newsom operate on a level of superficiality and are incapable of introspection, as these comments show.
As far as these two are concerned, the public and the general welfare are of no consequence and of no importance. E.g.: ” “I just turned my hearing aid off.”
After the event, Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, who served as San Francisco mayor between 2004 and 2011, said in response to the protesters, “[Former mayor] Willie and I were asking ourselves, ‘Why didn’t this happen to us?’ We didn’t know how good we had it.” Both mayors had also faced sharp criticism from San Francisco’s more left-leaning politicians and community allies.
Newsom added, “I think the mayor did an extraordinary job under difficult circumstances. Few people can go up there like that and follow through.”
When former Mayor Willie Brown, Lee’s longtime ally, was asked to comment about the protesters and the mayor’s speech, he said he was unable to hear either. “I just turned my hearing aid off.”
Isn’t this capitalism at work and not marijuana at work?
Isn’t this capitalism?
“Marijuana is a dangerous drug, with proven ability to destroy the brains of our youth and inflict irreparable harm on our natural resources.”
We here at gavin-newsom.com believe that all drugs should be decriminalized and funds spent on education, deterrence and alternative arts instead. Newsom’s initiative is a plutocrat’s hobby, and it taxes and regulates it.
Shame on Contra Costa Times for publishing this twaddle.
