Newsom recall will cost California taxpayers $215 million, state officials say

An analysis released Thursday projects the recall election against Gov. Gavin Newsom will cost at least $215 million, less than what elections officials initially estimated but a large enough price tag that local governments across California will need the state to pick up the tab.

“The total costs reported by all counties to conduct a special statewide recall election is $215 million,” state Department of Finance Director Keely Martin Bosler wrote in the letter to lawmakers. “This estimate does not reflect the Secretary of State’s costs associated with a statewide recall election.”

Thanks GOP MAGAs!

What about all his expensive dinners!!!!? Sorry to air his dirty laundry! Lol

100% worth it

$30 billion lost on his watch to criminals, $90 billion still being spent on a crazy train to nowhere, and hundreds of millions giving benefits to people who broke into our country…..I think $215 million is money well spent 🤷🏽‍♂️

Worth every penny.

Still worth it.

Send the bill to Kevin McCarthy and his dipstick crew. They’re good for it.

I’m sure there’s a “surplus” account that’ll cover it.

Drop in the bucket compared to the waste he has created.

Ridiculous and useless.

Worth it and more

bye

So just shorten JerryBrownGov 's train set by 2.15 miles.

Why is it that so-called small-government FiscalConservatives seem to spend all their time on political theater that costs US taxpayers more money rather than on bills & policy that create the means to reduce dependence on government CAGOP?

215 million in a state of 35 million. So like 8$ a person to collect a ballot. I bet 200m is going to newsom and his corrupt friends.

Make the people that want him out pay.

Is Caitlyn_Jenner paying?

Worth every last penny.

The GOP are ruthless political actors. Koch Bros and the John Birch Society are relentless in their oppressive pursuits!

Such a complete and total waste of money.

It's worth every fucking penny.

It’s so worth it 😊

Bargain

How about we shelter some homeless humans or animals instead?

Too bad they can’t make the failing party in this effort cover the cost. Sort of like Tort reform.

Keeping Newsom will cost billions.

Send the bill to California’s Central Valley: Bakersfield, Visalia, Hanford, Fresno, Madera, Tulare, Selma, Stockton—all of the ugly name towns. They’re the ones who had the most signatures.

There are literally hundreds of tents right outside my house, because people can't afford rent. WTF 'gun control' -go away Build more water reservoirs and power plants.
