California Gov. Newsom travels the globe while these problems plague his state

While "climate governor" Gavin Newsom travels the globe, setting himself up for a White House run, California has become a train wreck.

Kerry Jackson is a fellow with the Center for California Reform at the Pacific Research Institute.

While Newsom was "fully embracing the role of climate governor," a role he mostly invented, and is surely setting himself up for a White House run, the "damn state" he says he loves has become such a train wreck that the rest of the country is having a hard time looking away.

California has had 39 governors and the state has lost population under only one: Newsom. In fact, it has now lost population for three straight years.
