California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday enters the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one of many stops during his whirlwind, two-day trip to Washington.
The governor said one of his main priorities during his visit was to avoid stoking California’s escalating political feud with the president, including caustic flare-ups on Twitter between him and Trump over the administration’s U.S.-Mexico border policy, efforts to peel away strict environmental laws and attacks on the $77-billion high-speed rail system.
After Newsom called for scaling back the bullet train during his State of the State speech earlier this month, Trump demanded in a series of tweets that California return $3.5 billion in federal funding for the project. “Lincoln said you get farther with a drop of honey than a gallon of gall,” McClintock said. “That’s still good advice.”
You don’t show any respect for the federal government at all, and yet you expect them to bail us out because of the wildfires caused by you and brown? Why don’t you take some of that 12 billion dollars of surplus and give these people loans without asking the federal government?
45 is.upset with CA over its toughest in the nation enviromental laws. Especially re fuel efficiency.
