SACRAMENTO, Calif. — While California will end most of its coronavirus restrictions on June 15, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday he will not lift the statewide “state of emergency” that gives him broad powers to either suspend or declare new rules and regulations.

California has been under a state of emergency since March 4, 2020. Since then, Newsom has authorized billions of dollars in emergency spending and issued at least 47 executive orders to alter or suspend 200 state laws and regulations because of the virus, according to a resolution authored by Republican state senators.

Newsom says most of the state’s virus restrictions will end on June 15. But Newsom said that doesn’t mean he will lift the “state of emergency” on that date.

“We’re still in a state of emergency. This disease has not been extinguished. It’s not vanished, it’s not taking the summer months off,” Newsom said during a news conference to draw the names of 15 vaccinated people to win $50,000.

Newsom can end the state of emergency himself. The state Legislature can also end it by passing a concurrent resolution. Republicans in the state Senate, led by state Sen. Melissa Melendez, have tried repeatedly to force a vote on a resolution to end the emergency. But Democrats, who have a majority of seats, have always blocked it.

“If Newsom believes the state is safe enough to reopen, then it’s safe for people to be able to make decisions for themselves without his arbitrary and capricious rules,” Senate Republican Leader Scott Wilk said. “I believe it is time for him to hang up his crown and restore our democracy.”

California has been slower than other states to end its coronavirus rules. Newsom is likely to face a recall election later this year - an effort driven by anger over his handling of the pandemic.

Since the recall effort gained steam, Newsom and the Legislature have authorized $2.3 billion in cash payments for low-income adults, with plans to give another $8.1 billion in rebates to most taxpaying adults later this year. And he has pledged to give out more than $100 million in incentives for people to get vaccinated.

Friday, Newsom answered criticism that those decisions were driven by an desire to build goodwill among voters and avoid an early exit from office.

“Every single decision I have made is consistent with the work I’ve done for decades and what I campaigned on,” Newsom said.

Brother , I suspect the same could be said with Trudeau in Canada. Because everyone was surprised when he was reelected.

Brother, I don't know enough about Canadian politics but I am certain most people reject the Deep State Globalist Cabal as it does nothing for the little guy who just wants to live a peaceful life and raise kids in a decent society. People are the same the world over hence the reason they all pick the United States of America as a destination country when they leave their homeland.

Brother, all I remember as information was very limited, It appeared Trudeau would lose and in the end won. Sounds like the same MO.

The Democrats who were granted emergency powers are not surprisingly, declaring themselves King and claim it justified because of ( fill in the blank). They quote the fact that new variants have been found in their state or new age bracket for vaccination etc. They will extend this for as long as they can as it ends political recourse. They make it up as they go along. It's infuriating and their policies are extreme. Even if one case or two cases of a new "varient" comes out, it will be used to extend their powers for months. It's dangerous to keep the power of all the state up to one politician or political power without end. There should be a vote or something to assess if this is even necessary.

No you can’t violate the rights, the constitutional rights, of American citizens even if they want it. It should not be allowed. You should not be allowed to “vote” to give up your rights. Our rights are given to us by our creator. There should be no force on earth or in politics they can suspend our constitutional rights, no matter how people vote, no matter what some referendum says, no matter what the CDC or some faggot governor says. The states that locked down their citizens violated the rights of those citizens. Those governors should have all been arrested.

Who can arrest them? I agree whole heartedly with you. Look at Europe! We're all prisoners here.
