Gavin Newsom's plan to stop California's smash-and-grab thefts: Spend $300M
Fox News
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday proposed spending more than $300 million to help law enforcement and small businesses address a recent rash of high-profile smash and grab thefts.
"Democrats’ relentless push for their ‘criminals first’ agenda has turned this once-majestic state into a sanctuary for criminals."
"The issue of crime and violence is top of mind all throughout not only the state of California but across the United States, highlighted recently by some high-profile retail theft operations," Newsom said, announcing the money would be part of his proposed state budget in January.
"These organized retail mobs ... (have) a profound impact on our feelings of safety here in this state, this region and as I note, this country," he said.
