Sacramento, Calif. – Majority Leader Gonzalez (D-Long Beach) released the following statement on the property crime and fentanyl ballot measure: 

“With this proposed ballot measure we can crack down on property crime and fentanyl without reverting to policies that do more harm than good in our communities. We can protect our communities and at the same time prevent detrimental social and economic costs that worsen poverty and inequality. I am thankful to Governor Newsom, Senate Pro Tem McGuire, Assembly Speaker Rivas and my colleagues in the Legislature, for working to provide Californians with a better choice to create stronger enforcement tools and resources to keep our communities safe.”
