KCRA 3’s Ashley Zavala asks Gov. Newsom about efforts to keep Prop 47 off the ballot

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday confirmed he and Democratic leaders in the state Legislature are trying to negotiate a measure to reform Proposition 47 off of the November ballot.

Prop 47, an initiative voters passed a decade ago, has become notorious for loosening the penalties around drug and theft crimes in California and has been blamed by various law enforcement, business, and other groups for the state's theft problems.
