California Gov. Gavin Newsom is under fire following reports he carved out an exemption that helps one of his donors avoid his state's minimum wage increase.
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom has sparked outrage and calls for an investigation from Republican lawmakers after allowing an odd exemption to the state's $20 minimum wage law that benefits one of his donors. Newsom reportedly pushed for an exemption that allows restaurants baking and selling bread as a standalone item to continue paying its employees the current rate of $16 an hour.
Can any franchisee get an exemption from the $20 minimum wage law or do they need to donate more than $150k to Newsom first?" California Republican Caucus Chairman James Gallagher wrote in a social media post. "This crooked deal needs to be investigated," Gallagher said. California Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones also criticized the exemption, calling it "crony capitalism.
Bloomberg's report noted that Flynn was previously involved in business dealings with Newsom. It also noted his opposition to the law that initially included the new regulations, known as the FAST Act, which led him to lobby Newsom's office to exclude Panera Bread as a fast food chain, sources told the publication.
