California senators rejected a bill on March 15 that would have eliminated Gov. Gavin Newsom’s emergency powers, which he has been using for almost two years.
The motion, Senate Concurrent Resolution 5, was defeated by eight members of the California Senate Committee on Governmental Organization. There were four members that voted in favor.
If passed, the bill would remove the state of emergency declared by Newsom, a Democrat, on March 4, 2020. As a result, the powers granted by the proclamation would be revoked.
“An open-ended state of emergency with unrestricted powers vested in a chief executive is incompatible with democratic democracy,” the resolution says, adding that “a healthy balance between the legislative and executive branches must be restored.”
Before the vote, state Sen. Melissa Melendez, a Republican who introduced the bill, told colleagues, “It’s time for the state to allow local governments to take the lead and address emergencies locally without the shotgun approach of a statewide emergency,” citing the sharp drop in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.
Melendez and three other Republican senators voted in favor of the resolution; the eight Democrats who voted against it were all Democrats.
State Senator Benjamin Allen, a Democrat who ended up voting no, said there was “so much that’s compelling about this bill,” but that declaring the emergency over would “hinder our capacity to accomplish a lot that involves battling this pandemic.”
State Senator Bill Dodd, a Democrat who voted against the bill, said that while the drop in COVID-19 metrics was encouraging, “the existing state of emergency declared by the governor is absolutely critical to ensure that the state can quickly and efficiently continue to respond to the COVID 19 pandemic and be prepared for possible future variants and surges.”
Newsom has scheduled 18 of the 63 measures connected to the state of emergency to expire at the end of March and another 15 at the end of June, according to Dodd.
He stated that the other measures are “critical for maintaining government flexibility.”
Newsom’s office did not respond to a request for comment after he survived a recall effort in 2021.
After the vote, Melendez wrote on Twitter that the state legislature’s Democrats are “content to abdicate their responsibilities to the governor.”
“The state of emergency will remain in effect, as will the governor’s authority to close schools and businesses,” she stated.
This is what it looks like in the belly of the beast (LA), we have to assume that thousands of Americans with the correct political preferences are stuck in this hell hole taking care of loved ones, or are too poverty stricken to make their way out of this place. The decision for Los Angeles Unified School District to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations is a political power play by these tyrants. Because these children and their parents aren’t protected by religious exemption.
The left seeks to dismantle the closely held beliefs of true freedom loving Americans. 1 Peter 4:12-14 says: “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.” Stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.
