Assemblyman Jones: Call for a full repeal of the Governor’s emergency powers

“The Governor continues to evade the legislature and his lack of transparency continues to be outraging. It is clear that vulnerable populations were at risk, but what is most alarming is that the Governor continues to keep the truth from the public that relied on him to keep their loved ones safe. I have consistently voted with the minority to strip the Governor of his emergency powers that have been so blatantly misused. I urge the legislature to take the actions necessary to remove the Governor’s emergency authority and restore the necessary balance of state government. Further, I pledge to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to investigate this gross mishandling and ensure he, and all those responsible, are held accountable.”
