Gavin Newsom Diaper scam contract finally released in the dead night. Here is what we learned so far - #new California officials quietly released the $6.2 million no-bid diaper contract with Baby2Baby in the late-night hours, in a deal that funnels taxpayer money to an NGO with ties to Governor Gavin Newsom's wife. ($12.5 million will be added in the next budget) #budget Newsom claimed that the contract went through a competitive process, however, state records list it as a non-competitive bid #cali Critics say the late-night secret dump was to avoid media scrutiny as the initial announcement sparked backlash The contract, part of the Golden State Start program announced in May, will give 400 California-co-branded diapers to newborns on the taxpayer's dime. Breakdown of the $6.2 million contract: 🔷️$3.89 million for the diapers themselves 🔷️$750,000 for shipping 🔷️$610,000 for warehousing 🔷️$917,000 for salaries for 12 employees 🔷️$35,000 for communications This fits a pattern in California, where the budget hides dozens of similar no-bid exemptions totaling over $1 billion. Previous Baby2Baby deals with the state were also direct appropriations without competition. ***Previously Reported**** #new Gov. Newsom announces the state will funnel $20 million in taxpayer dollars to an NGO connected to his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom #cali "Free diapers" will be handed out to newborns through the group Baby2Baby. Baby2Baby's co-CEO Norah Weinstein sits on the board of Jennifer Newsom's NGO "California Partners Project" #kids This is not the first time that Jennifer is connected to massive taxpayer funded projects, and other scandals related to her NGOs She is the honorary chair of the NGO CalVolunteers that was given at least $1 Million in FireAid relief, in which $0 went directly to the victims of the Palisades wildfires. The Representation Project (Jennifer Newsom's nonprofit organization) receives millions of dollars from the State of California. That project has paid nearly $2 million to Jennifer Newsoms' for profit since 2021, including a $150,000 annual contracting fee since 2018. The taxpayer dollars that are sent to her 'for profit' organization - give the Newsom family a benefit of ~$1.5 million from nonprofit salary + ~$1.7 million from film sales/licenses Plus, these 'free diapers' cost over 3 times more per diaper than if a family bought in bulk from Costco. Let's work the numbers ️100,000 newborns will be given 400 diapers each 🔺️100,000 babies × 400 diapers = 40 million diapers ️$20 million ÷ $40 million = $0.50 per diaper ️Sams sells diapers for $.15 each, 🔺️That's $60 for 400 diapers = $6 million for 40 million diapers So, California is using taxpayer dollars to buy $20 million worth of diapers that normally cost $6 million. The state is paying more than 3X per diaper than a family buying diapers at Sams. Another Democrat state money pit - where taxpayers foot the bill Source- #ChristinaAguayoNews
