Apparently their budget is good, the crime rate is down, no new cops are needed, and they can get rid of thousands of prison beds. That&#8217;s the view from Governor Newsom, who wants to cut law enforcement and prison budgets &#8216;cuz, well, everything is hunky-dorey out west..<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The California Democrat&#8217;s proposed budget, released in May, notes that &#8220;difficult decisions&#8221; are necessary to address the estimated $27.6 billion deficit, which is projected to continue for years to come. It includes a $97 million cut to trial court operations, $10 million to the Department of Justice&#8217;s Division of Law Enforcement and more than $80 million to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/us\/newsom-proposes-defunding-police-prisons-public-safety-as-california-faces-massive-deficit\/ar-BB1nJdRN\">Fox<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the real world, businesses are fleeing crime ridden cities, cops are overworked and disrespected, and there&#8217;s that almost $28 mill hole in the ground.
