SACRAMENTO – Assemblyman Joe Patterson (R-Rocklin) issued the following statement criticizing Governor Newsom’s call for a special legislative session:
“Newsom’s calling of this special session is nothing short of political theater. Despite voters saying they want him to focus on issues here in California, he’s once again distracted by his own aspirations to be in the national spotlight.
“Our Governor continues to prove he is out of touch with the real issues affecting Californians and is more focused on political masquerades that address nothing.”
Patterson represents the 5th Assembly District, which is comprised of the communities of Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Granite Bay, Auburn, North Auburn, Loomis, Meadow Vista, Newcastle, Penryn, El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Diamond Springs, Placerville, Shingle Springs, Auburn Lake Trails, Georgetown, Cold Springs, Coloma, Rescue and Cool.
