To the editor: As a California taxpayer, I am angry that proponents of recalling Gov. Gavin Newsom are trying to force a special election less than a year before the 2022 primary that will cost the state more than $80 million.
California Republicans are taking advantage of the pandemic to try to reclaim statewide office. My questions to them include: What would you have done differently to stem the rise in COVID-19 cases and deaths that occurred at the start of the holiday season? Do you believe that states like Florida and Texas with less restrictive measures in place have done a better job protecting their residents’ health?
