To the editor: Whereas Gov. Gavin Newsom garners free publicity on the worldwide stage in Davos, Switzerland, Californians are left footing the invoice for his true ambition (“Newsom calls global leaders ‘pathetic’ for Trump complicity,” Jan. 20). We face soaring gas prices and rising sales taxes to deal with a homelessness disaster that reveals no signal of waning, however the state’s precise wants are being handled as secondary. Even our “high-speed” rail venture stays a monument to overspending and delays.
It’s clear that Newsom views California not as a state to be served, however as a stepping stone to the White Home. California taxpayers deserve a governor, one who is concentrated on Sacramento and never on his personal private political ambitions.

To the editor: Newsom shamed himself in Davos by castigating European leaders for appeasing President Trump.
It was American voters who put Trump again in workplace after he incited an revolt. It’s U.S. politicians who’ve totally enabled Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional actions. It’s U.S. companies which have funded Trump and his cultist political social gathering. And it’s the American Supreme Court docket that immunized Trump and turned him free. Blaming European leaders appears somewhat out of contact.
