California Governor Gavin Newsom is to blame for the state’s sinking quality of life, say the daughters of Canadian-born veteran music producer David Foster.

On The World’s First Podcast, hosts Sara and Erin Foster asked whether Democrat Newsom’s goal was to have California “be a socialist state.”

The comments came out of the fact that Erin has decided to move to a new home in Nashville.
“I’m jealous because — if anyone follows me, you know that I have a lot of complaints about the city we live in and the state we live in,” Sara, 42, a model and actress, said.
“And people are always like, ‘Why don’t you just leave?’ Guys, it’s not that easy.”
Sara complained a move could make her the target of a 10-year state tax from California, introduced at the beginning of the year but still being considered by the state assembly, that applies to billionaires looking to move to states without income or wealth taxes.
“I blame everything on Newsom. Newsom is, like, the worst,” said Sara.
“Yeah, I hate him,” agreed Erin, 41.
Sara said the new legislation leaves a bad taste as California deals with “crime through the roof,” and is spending $267 million to help local police forces fight prevalent crimes like smash-and-grab robberies.
“You are running the state and your policies are whack, therefore, I’m coming for you … it’s really f***ed up what’s happening here,” said Sara.
“And I think that it’s like, is the goal to be Venezuela? Is the goal to be a socialist state? I don’t know.”
