Gov. GavinNewsom signed the bill authorizing the creation of a task force to study reparations for black Californians in 2020, but as the task force prepares to send out its final report, he has not been clear on if he plans to support the proposals.
The fate of the various proposals by the task force, including payments of up to $1.4 million to black Californians, will be decided by the state legislature and Newsom. Here is what Newsom has publicly said about the task force and its proposals since its creation nearly three years ago.
“California is leading the nation, in a bipartisan way, on the issue of reparations and racial justice, which is a discussion that is long overdue and deserves our utmost attention. Last year, I signed into law a number of key bills focused on leveling the playing field in our society and ensuring that everyone has a fair shot at achieving the California dream," Newsom said.
His statement continued,"Following the Task Force's submission of its final report this summer, I look forward to a continued partnership with the legislature to advance systemic changes that ensure an inclusive and equitable future for all Californians." Nearly a month later, when asked about the reparations proposal by the task force, and specifically the payment plan, on Fox News's Hannity, Newsom reiterated that reparations are about more than just money.
"Deeply understand that. I deeply understand. Do the math on the $1.4 [million]," Newsom said."You had a group the last two years that is making a series of recommendations. That is one of many recommendations. You guys ran with that — over and over and over again."
