Gavin Newsom

Well, let me just, because it's incredibly important to clarify, I've never criticized the mayor of L.A. for the fire response. Quite the contrary. I spent the day with her yesterday. We have been, we have been in lockstep. in terms of our work there. As it relates to the former mayor of San Francisco, the same. I provided unprecedented support.

What I criticized was the lack of urgency as it relates to the street population and what's happening with encampments and tents. And that was a broad statement across the state of California. As a former mayor, I thought I'm in a privileged position. State's vision, national vision, realized through states, but localism's determinative at the end of the day.

When it comes to housing and homelessness, it's the original sin in the state of California. The affordability challenge in this state, nimbyism in this state. We've been pounding 42 secret reform bills I've signed. We have a huge housing package this year. We've been deeply focused on getting things done. And no state has done more to address the homeless crisis than this state.

tax their low-wage earners more than the state of California. Are we a high tax state or a low tax state? We have the highest tax rate for the 1%, but demonstrably 99% are not in that 1%. 80% of Californians are taxed about average. And you go to the aggressive states like Texas and Florida, they nail people. in the lower class, in the middle class, compared to states like California.

But number two, I also want to make this point. As it relates to investing in reforms, we've created a brand new grade, pre-K for all, after school and summer school for all. We lead the nation over the last decade in eighth grade reading growth. In the last 10 years, we're one of three states that's seen improvements in fourth grade reading.
