I am a little confused what you are saying here. Are you saying Newsom doesn't deserve all the blame, because I agree with him not deserving it all, but I don't really see anyone claiming he is solely to blame (other than you implying it).

I live in CA. I blame everyone down the chain. Most people I know say the same thing. Its not one person or entity. Its the entire chain that allows this to happen including the legislature, business owners that are lobbying, the governor that is signing these bill, but most of all the citizens voting in CA. We voted for this. IMO we are the one entity the most to blame.

Until we, the voters, step up and take responsibility for our actions nothing is going to get fixed. After all why would the business owners, legislators, or governor be expected to take responsibility when everyone who votes in the state gets to pass the buck?
