Let’s uncover the details of this controversial deal. Donor Gets Sweet Deal While Others Pay Price California recently passed a law raising the minimum wage to $20 an hour for fast food workers. This will cost companies like McDonald's a quarter million bucks more per store every year. But Newsom made sure his pal Flynn wouldn't have to pay the higher wages at his Panera locations. He snuck in a loophole just for Flynn, saying bread-selling restaurants don't need to follow the new minimum wage. Flynn is the only major fast food owner who benefits, since Panera is the only big chain that sells bread loaves. Flynn has donated over $160,000 to Newsom's election campaigns. So Republicans are saying this sketchy exemption was clearly Newsom's way of paying back his donor. Newsom denies doing anything wrong. But his critics ain't buying it. They say he showed favoritism to a buddy who gave him tons of money. And regular small businesses in California now have to pay way more for workers while Flynn still pays only $16 an hour. --------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor Message [Detecting Cancer in 1.5 Seconds: Early Investment Opportunity]( Stanford engineer's lofty goal of revolutionizing cancer diagnostics is expected to come to fruition with FDA review in its final stages.

He slammed Newsom and the Democrats for their failed policies on immigration. Trump says these bad policies have caused big problems for the country's economy. Republican leaders in California are ticked off about Newsom's sweetheart deal for his donor. They are demanding official investigations into what they call Newsom's "crooked crony capitalism." Voters are also angry their governor seems to be giving special treatment to a rich campaign contributor. Even if Newsom did nothing illegal, folks say it looks unethical and hypocritical. This controversy reinforces Republican arguments that Democrats act corruptly and abuse government power. Impact on Businesses and Politics While Newsom claims everything's kosher, the sketchy optics still hurt his reputation. Voters expect better from their leaders. Letting a moneybags supporter avoid obeying the same laws as everyday citizens makes Newsom seem like just another crooked politician. This special favoritism damages California's business environment too. Small companies are stuck paying the new high wages while Flynn saves a bundle. Republicans say it's also more proof that jacking up minimum wage hurts small businesses, workers and the economy. Finally, it gives Republicans more ammo against Democratic policies going into the next elections. They can point to Newsom's shady donor deal as an example of corrupt Democratic leadership. --------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor Message [Turn market chaos into your #1 advantage]( t let market volatility erode your hard-earned savings.
