California auditors ripped into part of Gavin Newsom’s plan to pump millions into a youth volunteer program, saying the governor failed to properly explain why a “belonging campaign” is needed during a budget crisis that numbers in the billions. In an unusually weepy news conference last week, Newsom announced a recruitment drive to add 10,000 participants to the California Service Corps, a statewide initiative that places volunteers in roles ranging from tutoring students and disaster response to environmental work. “Forgive me, this is embarrassing,” Newsom said, wiping his eyes.
