Republicans in the California State Assembly on Wednesday ripped into Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and his state attorney general, Rob Bonta, for showboating on tackling fraud. The assemblymembers called for a focused legislative response to examine the full scope of fraud, including failures in oversight. Reforms are needed to protect taxpayer dollars, they said. “The governor says he’s stopping licensure, he already licensed this doctor, who defrauded us $270 million,” said Assemblymember James Gallagher, who’s also running for Congress. “This governor and the politicians that have had power here have done nothing about. They’ve ignored it. And they continue to throw good money after bad. We’re here to say enough is enough.”
