    Newsom Family’s Wealth Under Scrutiny | Los Angeles News

    Presented by The Plant Daddies — rare specimen trees, living art, and hand-carved limestone vessels and fountains for extraordinary spaces. Showrooms in Los Angeles and Irvine. Listeners of Los Angeles News Today receive 10% off with code LANEWS10. theplantdaddies.com/lanews Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom have quietly amassed at least $11 million since he took office, earning between $1.4 million and $3.5 million annually through investments in wineries, restaurants, and other ventures — all revealed in newly released tax returns spanning 2019 to 2024. The disclosure follows criticism over his prior refusal to share filings since 2020 and comes amid claims that the Department of Justice, allegedly acting on Trump’s orders, launched a politically motivated probe into their business and charity activities — which Newsom ties to his rumored 2028 presidential run. Jennifer’s nonprofit, focused on gender equity, has faced scrutiny for accepting donations from lobbying firms, while her production company has fluctuated in income. Despite these revelations, the governor’s office insists the couple’s net worth has declined and that Jennifer’s company is losing money — arguing the documents prove they’re not enriching themselves. Newsom also alleges federal agents are seeking records from friends and former staffers. Notably, Newsom championed a law requiring gubernatorial candidates to release five years of tax returns — a move inspired by Trump’s refusal — even though the presidential portion was later struck down. By voluntarily releasing more than required, Newsom frames this as an extra step toward transparency. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    California’s Minimum Wage Jump | Los Angeles News

    Presented by The Plant Daddies — rare specimen trees, living art, and hand-carved limestone vessels and fountains for extraordinary spaces. Showrooms in Los Angeles and Irvine. Listeners of Los Angeles News Today receive 10% off with code LANEWS10. theplantdaddies.com/lanews California’s minimum wage is set to soar to $17.40 an hour by January 2027 — nearly double the federal rate and the highest in the nation — thanks to an automatic inflation-adjusted hike designed to keep up with rising costs. Governor Newsom’s administration has steadily raised the state’s wage floor since taking office, from $12 to this landmark figure, while also pushing other affordability measures like free school meals and expanded childcare. Though this statewide jump is historic, some cities already pay even more — making California’s approach a bold, consistent commitment to valuing hard work and supporting families.
