California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday had a message for local governments: clean up homeless encampments now or lose out on state funding next year.
Standing in front of a cleared homeless encampment in Los Angeles, Newsom vowed to start taking state funding away from cities and counties that are not doing enough to move people out of encampments and into shelters. The governor joined the California Department of Transportation, known as Caltrans, on Thursday to clear several encampment sites in the area.

Homelessness has always been a problem in California but it blew up after Newsom took office thanks to his policies, and now he's threatening the local governments if they don't clean up the mess he created?
