Senate Republican Leader Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, released the following statement after another scathing report highlighted failures within Newsom’s Employment Development Department (EDD):
“If you woke up today wondering whether one-party rule hurts California’s families, look no further than today’s report on the state’s failed employment department.
“This report highlights what legislators have heard far too often these last two years – Californians were left hanging, unable to pay their rent or feed their families because of bureaucratic dysfunction at EDD.
“Government incompetence caused the problem, and the governor’s refusal to fix it just made it worse. Now our job creators are stuck footing the bill while families are left with mountains of debt because of this government-created crisis. California claims to be the technology capital of the world. It’s time state leaders demanded better IT from its state agencies.”
The EDD has a timeline of failures that date
as far back as 2013 and led to the disaster Californians witnessed in 2020. Senate Republicans believe the EDD’s failures speak for themselves, and the governor’s mismanaged unemployment agency cannot continue to operate under the status quo.
Below is a list of bills Senate Republicans introduced in 2021 to #FixEDD, but they were buried by Sacramento Democrats in the Appropriations Suspense File, which is a tactic for killing bills without recording a “NO” vote on them. Besides the introduction of Republicans’ bills,
Senator Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh (R-Yucaipa) requested that the Joint Legislative Budget Committee for a crucial oversight hearing of the EDD in 2021.
- SB 39 (Grove, 2021) would require the EDD to cross-check prison inmate records with unemployment claims to prevent benefits from going to prisoners.
- SB 58 (Wilk, 2021) would require the EDD to immediately end the practice of including full social security numbers on its most frequently mailed documents.
- SB 232 (Nielsen, 2021) would implement State Auditor recommendations from the previous three audits of EDD.

It worked exactly as Newsome wanted it to work. It redistributed a massive amount of wealth to his constituents. Voters just think he has nice hair so he keeps getting re-elected.
Dippity Dew head Newsom is worse than “Bullet Train” Jerry Brown & continues to make this state the most horrible, high taxed/regulated, crime ridden, Woke insanity in the nation!!
Move to a place you like that’s run just the way you like it, with people who are of like mind. California has a diverse make-up with so many different ideas and philosophies. Some people like that, some don’t.
Can you see how racist this article headline’s picture is? WHAT DOES A PICTURE OF A MAN FROM INDIA WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE CURRENCY HAVE TO DO WITH THE ARTICLE? Racist optics anyone? Geez..wake up from drinking the cool aid!
Tony, Which picture would be more statistically correct/accurate?! But then you would also complain/condone/whitewash/downplay that reality also! Wake up, not Woke up Sheeple!
A picture of Bovine feces exiting the Bovines rump.
What does this mean?
🦬💩, B. S., steer manure.
A white backwoods dude would be more accurate. 🙂
You’re right, Tony.
It looks like the photo was grabbed from stock pictures to place with the article, although not fitting for California EDD. Most payments are by check or debit card, not in foreign currency.
