Gavin Newsome, as slimy as they come.. - SunsetBengal - 02-29-2024 Seems that he wrote a loophole in the $20 min wage law that was specifically worded to benefit one of his big doners. Go figure... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/california-s-new-20-minimum-wage-law-includes-odd-exemption-that-benefits-a-big-gavin-newsom-donor/ar-BB1j4gPy?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=898ff203687a495aa69d9ef9366837b9&ei=28 Quote:While Gavin Newsom and his cronies in the California legislature pat themselves on the back for their selfless magnanimity in raising the state's minimum wage, others have noticed a strange exemption whose beneficiary has ties to the governor himself. RE: Gavin Newsome, as slimy as they come.. - Arturo Bandini - 02-29-2024 Your politicians serve their donors not the people.

Go figure... Politician helps donor? Dog bites man? Not sure that make him any more "slimy" than anyone else. Although based on the authors collection of articles she probably would. I'm against such thing too though. I don't know that we need an "investigation" as republicans in California want but these kind of shady deals/stipulations only degrade the trust in government more. It's just that there's nothing new here. RE: Gavin Newsome, as slimy as they come.. - pally - 02-29-2024 Do you mean like the 2017 tax bill having carve-outs for big real estate developers and other "flow-through" LLC's favored by Trump and big donors?

Great, here's your chance to speak out about a Democrat Governor!

That is why Ohio voters preserving the right for citizen's initiatives to be placed on the ballot are so important RE: Gavin Newsome, as slimy as they come.. - GMDino - 02-29-2024 (02-29-2024, 11:24 AM)SunsetBengal Wrote: Great, here's your chance to speak out about a Democrat Governor!

F*** Culbert Olson! RE: Gavin Newsome, as slimy as they come.. - michaelsean - 02-29-2024 Kinda getting a both sides vibe here. Which makes no sense at all. Perfect time to get some “I don’t walk in lock step” cred. Very few people here are from CA. It’s not a national party thing like president or senator. Just agree the guy is a dirtball and move on. RE: Gavin Newsome, as slimy as they come.. - NATI BENGALS - 02-29-2024 What a stupid rule. If I was a California fast food restaurant I would start making a loaf of bread a day and selling it by itself. And then claim I am exempt from the $20 an hour minimum wage. Definitely gives off the political favor vibes. But idk. Bread is cheap. And the small time bakery business probably isn’t very profitable compared to a nation wide fast food chain.

A little bit tougher for the corporate chains to duplicate. For example, could you imagine walking into Burger King and asking for just a bag of their buns?

If I use my common sense, how will Panera Bread or others hire workers if all of the fast food restaurants start at $20 an hour and they start at $16.? Newsome is a sweet talker who has run California into the ground, but his buddy may not be able to hire at $16 an hour if everyone else is hiring at $20 an hour.

Our legal team has reviewed it, and it appears Panera is not exempt from the law,” a spokesperson from Newsom told Nexstar’s Capital Reporter Eytan Wallace.” RE: Gavin Newsome, as slimy as they come.. - NATI BENGALS - 03-01-2024 (03-01-2024, 01:12 AM)Luvnit2 Wrote: If I use my common sense, how will Panera Bread or others hire workers if all of the fast food restaurants start at $20 an hour and they start at $16.? I think I read that the guy supposedly benefitting here had that same line of thought when asked about this story.

Because in order to afford paying that much they will gut staffing levels and automate as much as possible. Hence there will be fewer jobs to choose from. $16 an hour is still better than $0. RE: Gavin Newsome, as slimy as they come.. - JustWinBaby - 03-01-2024 Interesting that attacks on Newsome are ramping up....a conspiracy theorist might take that as a signal that he could be the Dem nominee (via brokered convention).

Hopefully they go out of business. I'm in PA and the minimum wage here is $7.25 and the wife wanted to go that damn place and we paid damn near $40 for two half sammiches and bowls of soup. I assume if you buy that same thing in CA it costs like $100. Any place that charges $20 for what amounts to the lunch my ol' man used to throw together when he could barely be bothered to tear himself away from the TV should be out of business and the people in charge locked up. God I hate that place, and now all the Panera Breads from state where the minimum wage is above $7.25 will move to PA and I'll be surrounded by the damn things.
