SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.—San Clemente city officials voted 3–2 on a resolution April 5 that supports calling upon California lawmakers to revoke Gov. Gavin Newsom’s COVID-19 State of Emergency powers.
“I brought the resolution to City Council in order to express my overwhelming concern regarding Governor Newsom’s overreach of executive power,” Mayor Gene James told The Epoch Times via email. “Our citizens were victimized by the unleashing of the weaponized CCP virus by the Communist Chinese Party and victimized again by Governor Newsom’s Emergency Order.”
“We should have returned to business as usual long ago. What we see with Governor Newsom is an unprecedented rise in both authoritarianism and statism. Local control must be returned to the cities of our State.”
