California Democrats claim they’ve funded the state’s voter-approved crime crackdown, but critics say the numbers don’t add up and blasted Governor Newsom for ignoring the voter mandate.

The prop also created an option for those convicted to get mental health or substance abuse treatment through a court-mandated treatment program.
