California voters are 2:1 against cash reparations

As you may recall there are two different efforts focused on reparations taking place in California simultaneously. One was specific to San Francisco whose board of supervisors created the African American Reparations Advisory Committee (AARAC) back in December 2020. The other effort was the California Reparations Task Force put in place by Gov. Newsom in Sep. 2020. The point of both efforts was to come up with a workable plan for offering cash reparations.
...
So with all of that in mind, you’ll be shocked to learn that California residents overwhelmingly reject the idea of cash reparations.
The UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll, co-sponsored by The Times, found that 59% of voters oppose cash payments compared with 28% who support the idea. The lack of support for cash reparations was resounding, with more than 4 in 10 voters “strongly” opposed.
I'm guessing John Sexton doesn't live in California but instead lives in StupidStereotypeville somewhere well away from actual Californians. This poll's results do not surprise this more or less life-long Californian.

It doesn't matter what voters want.
Reparations is probably an all-but-done deal once it hits the leftist legislature there.

We'll give them what they NEED..."
