Governor Newsom Takes Action on Homelessness Crisis
Legislative Efforts Seek Transparency in Homeless Spending
According to the Sacramento Bee, Governor Newsom is worried about the slow progress in helping homeless Americans in California. A report found that the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) wasn’t keeping track of how billions of dollars were being spent. Assemblyman Josh Hoover has introduced a bill, AB 2903 to make spending on homelessness more transparent. The bill wants state agencies to share how much they spend and what results they get with Cal ICH which would then tell the public by 2025.
The report found that only a few state programs for homelessness are working well so it’s crucial to gather better data and assess them. Hoover’s bill aligns with the auditor’s call for accountability in fixing homelessness but its fate is uncertain pending review by the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee. Governor Newsom‘s increased funding highlights the urgency of the issue. In politics, Rep. Kevin Kiley’s significant fundraising advantage over Jessica Morse underscores the importance of money in California campaigns.

Governor Newsom Campaign Finance Raises Concerns About Fairness
Furthermore, the fact that Rep. Kevin Kiley has a lot more money than Jessica Morse shows how money plays a big role in politics. Kiley having more money means he can do more things for his Governor Newsom campaign like ads and reaching out to voters. This could affect how Americans see him and how many Americans vote. It’s not fair that some candidates have more money than others. So, it’s important to make sure that everyone knows where campaign money comes from and how it’s spent to make sure everyone’s voice counts in elections.
