Governor Gavin Newsom on California's train theft crisis

The images looked like a Third World country.  What you saw here in the last week is just not acceptable.  So, I took off the suit and tie and said I'm coming because I couldn't take it.  I can't turn on the news anymore.  What the hell is going on?

As photos of the gathering emerged, it has further transpired that the Governor was joined by two high-level members of the California Medical Association. The $400 per person menu included a starter of “Oysters and Pearls” followed by “Sole aux Crevettes” and Braised Veal. All of which must have left a delightful taste in the mouth of the Californian leader, various medical authorities and assorted lobbyists, but leaves a rather less pleasant aftertaste with pretty much every other resident of California.
