Gavin Newsom and ordered Californians to stay home and businesses deemed speaks at the non-essential to shut down. These measures, as Californians were California Democratic assured, served as necessary, but temporary, remedies to get the Party state convention initial spread of the virus under control and to minimize the burden in San Francisco in on our health care system. 2019. However, more than six months later, while Governor Newsom Photo by Gage was quick to grasp a hold of these emergency powers, he has been Skidmore exceptionally slow in ceding them back to local governments. Instead, he continues to take advantage of the broad scope of emergency powers afforded to him, dictating changes that affect everything from plastic bags to weddings, and which directly impact how local governments operate. Cities have not taken this power grab lightly. They have taken steps to curtail the Governor’s overreach. For instance, the cities of Milpitas and Novato threatened to sue over planned Project Homekey (a state program to establish permanent housing facilities for people experiencing homelessness) sites in their cities. The state is forcing these programs on cities without prior consent or input. Other cities have also made attempts to curtail this abuse of power. In the city of Norwalk, their city council unanimously passed an emergency ordinance that required any public agency to consult with the city overreach. the county of Los Angeles, in executing this program, has exacerbated prior to placing a homeless or COVID-19 facility in Norwalk.

Los Angeles County has been overstepping its powers to purchase a local Motel 6 as part of its Project Homekey program.

It was a year John would never forget: a year of sadness, pain, tragedy and mental torture, a reminder of the devastation of war and man’s inhumanity to man. Isadoro’s condition and death left indelible memories in John’s mind. Two other uncles never returned from WWI, possibly buried in a mass grave without a proper burial, without closure or the family’s final goodbyes. “War. War. War.” John hated it. During WWII in 1945, John’s father, Carl, went to war and was captured by the Russians. He was put on a train headed to a concentration camp in the Ukraine. His five-year-old sister Elizabeth died of pneumonia that same year. On the shoulders of his mother’s strength, courage, resolve and faith, she guided the family through dismal times in the absence of John’s father and the loss of his sister Elizabeth. Food was scarce and rations were thin. Vouchers were issued for sugar, flour, coffee, canned goods, meats and cheeses. Beans and more beans and rotten potatoes. Cigarette shortages. Overwhelming starvation and grief. War … clouds upon clouds of darkness–more and more trials, troubles and tribulations. While John’s father and two other soldiers were being transported by train to a prison camp in the Ukraine, they used a pocketknife to cut a hole in the wooden floor and crawled under the train to escape. As they maneuvered through danger, fate shined favorably on them. A Ukrainian family housed them, buried them in the loft of their barn under bales of hay, and fed them for 27 days. They met other extended hands along the way. It took the three escapees a year to find their way home. They combated hunger and the elements and skillfully stayed out of harm’s way. Confronted with an intolerable winter, sunshine birthed hope. They had no compass, followed the stars and traveled roads from memory.
