https://foxnews.com/politics/california-gov-newsom-promised-pay-cutCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom has been drawing his full monthly salary despite asking state workers in May to take a pay cut to alleviate the state’s burden in fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
Though elected state officials are exempt from such pay cuts, Newsom pledged that he would voluntarily slash his salary when he asked state workers to make that same sacrifice.
But a Thursday report from the Sacramento Bee revealed that Newsom has continued drawing his full monthly salary of $17,479.
A spokesman for Newsom's office blamed the matter on an "administrative error."
Sacramento’s KOVR also reported that PlumpJack, a Northern California-based winery and hospitality company, founded and partly owned by Newsom, was open through early July – well after Newsom ordered all essential business closed in March.
Data released by the U.S. Treasury Department also shows that the wine company also received a loan worth $150,000 to $350,000 from the Paycheck Protection Program.
Data from the State Controller’s office shows that State Controller Betty Yee was the only one of California’s eight elected constitutional officers to take a pay cut last month, The Bee reported.
And yet he would win in a landslide if the election were held today. No opposition party makes it nice
