Why fix a problem when you can steal from taxpayers to shine the light away from fraud.

quote:

Gov. Gavin Newsom is hoping to to boost California’s tarnished image on the national stage — so he’s throwing millions in taxpayer money at a high-powered New York public relations firm to do it for him. The governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development awarded PR powerhouse Edelman a contract worth up to $19 million to burnish the Golden State’s reputation, KCRA reported.


quote:

Edelman — which also does work on behalf of mega-companies like Dove, Starbucks, eBay and Heineken — will be tasked with combating “negative narratives amplified online and in partisan media” about California while promoting the state’s economy and tourism. The contract begins on April 6 and will run through then end of the year.


quote:

“The campaign will tell the California story, not the Gavin Newsom story,” the agency said. “The effort is about California’s success, not about politics.”

Probably money down the drain because anybody with an IQ above room temperature has figured out by now that he's both corrupt and incompetent.

Then again, it might work on Democrat Party voters in the primaries, as gullible and stupid as most of them are. Beaux duke said the other day that his dream ticket for 2028 is Newsom/AOC.

Gavin knows the easiest rebuttal to why his campaign will be a failure is to point to what he’s done to California.


Change the narrative about California and he changes the narrative about his campaign. This is ALL about politics.

Imagine if you will, just how fricked up a Democrat politician has to be to consider media "partisan".

Florida doesn’t need a PR firm.

California does.

Politics come with consequences.

It’s a damned shame what has become of a state that offered unparalleled natural beauty and for so many decades a place to chase one’s dreams.

“Progressive” Leftism destroys.

Every. Single. Time.

Remember the sheep’s bawling “Tax the Rich”. Well, you already have and they are through with your delusions.

quote:

California's tax revenue is highly volatile, with 50% of income tax coming from the top 1% of taxpayers. When tech markets slow down or high-earners see reduced capital gains, state revenue crashes and high earners leave the state.


A graph so elementary an elementary school aged child could understand, but millions of Democrats refuse to acknowledge…

Yeah, so much success, that the governor of the state has to go clear across the country to find a pr firm to sell them, noone able in state.

I wonder if I can goad SFP into keeping this thread bumped. It is a big story.

Imagine the rigs you could fish in the Pacific if they had any leadership at all. . .

California taxpayer money goes to New York… to improve California’s image?

That doesn’t exactly help California’s image.
