Despite the confidence he projected about Proposition 1, Gov. Gavin Newsom's ballot measure on California's mental health services is leading narrowly.
Gov. Gavin Newsom brimmed with confidence about Proposition 1 in January as he sat in a Costa Mesa Motel 6 room that was converted into housing for homeless veterans. 'I think it's going to win overwhelmingly,' the governor said in an interview with The Times. 'Period. Full stop.' Nearly two months later, Newsom's cockiness appears misplaced.
'I think the governor and mayors often just want the encampments to disappear by any means necessary,' said Katherine Wolf, a doctoral student in society and environment at UC Berkeley, who said she voted against Proposition 1. Wolf said she believes that community programs that provide stability to some mentally ill Californians will lose funding if money shifts to involuntary treatment. Similar to the ACLU and League of Women Voters, she also opposes forcing people into care.
