enough signatures yet to get it on the ballot, but if it makes it on the ballot, that is going to cost us 81 million to run a special election for the recall, and if the recall is successful, to run another election for Governor. That is what they did with Davis.

People tend to look for scapegoats, and unfortunately I am afraid that is the position Newsom is in.

I am glad that the ICU beds are becoming available, but from what I have read they are still pretty full, especially in Southern California. I guess something changed quickly

Anyway, thanks for the report
