Newsom sunk the idea after the board proposed up to $1.2 million per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/californias-reparations-plan-would-spend-almost-double-the-states-entire-budget-on-race-based-handouts\/\" title=\"California\u2019s Reparations Plan Would Spend Almost Double The State\u2019s Entire Budget On Race-Based Handouts\">eligible black resident<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Representative Rashida Tlaib from Michigan is also backing the proposal, stating that reparations are &#8220;necessary&#8221; to reach &#8220;true equality.&#8221; Tlaib emphasized that &#8220;they need to make sure that reparations is part of the movement towards equitable distribution of resources.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The move comes just days after Tlaib and Bush were the only two House members to vote against a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-squad-member-introduces-bill-demanding-reparations-now\/\" title=\"Video: 'Squad' Rep Proposes Bill for Immediate Reparations\">resolution honoring police<\/a> who died in the line of duty. The measure, which was meant to support &#8220;National Police Week,&#8221; passed 413-2 on Monday. The pair said the measure pushed a &#8220;false narrative.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Controversies<\/h3>\n<p>Bush is best known for her controversial payments to security guards. In February, she secretly married a man she had paid tens of thousands of dollars to for security services. Another security guard on her payroll is an anti-Semitic spiritual guru who says he can summon earthquakes and use blood rituals to destroy his enemies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic Representative Cori Bush (Mo.) proposed a resolution to address the &#8220;Black-White wealth gap&#8221; by providing reparations.
