Rodriguez\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 11:32 AM PT \u2013 Friday, July 9, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Amid facing an upcoming recall election, Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has asked residents and businesses to cut their water use by 15 percent as the state faces an ongoing drought. In a press conference on Thursday, Newsom called for Californians to voluntarily reduce their use of water by taking shorter showers and reducing the frequency of watering lawns.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement comes as reservoirs in the state have reached dangerously low levels. The Democrat also added nine more counties to the state\u2019s emergency drought proclamation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The hots are getting hotter &amp; the dries are getting drier \u2013 that is the reality of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>We are expanding the drought emergency proclamation to include 9 more counties \u2013 including San Luis Obispo County. This emergency proclamation now covers 50 out of 58 counties. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/i1oGh6UUpE\">pic.twitter.com\/i1oGh6UUpE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Office of the Governor of California (@CAgovernor) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CAgovernor\/status\/1413217712663195648?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 8, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The new state of emergency adds to Newsom\u2019s still-existent emergency COVID powers, which he extended back in May despite California reopening on June 15. The further expansion of Newsom\u2019s powers come as he faces a recall election in Sept. Critics have slammed the governor\u2019s recent move as a power grab.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver 1.7 million Californians have signed a recall petition. Our state constitution provides them that option,\u201d said Rep. Vice Fong (R-Calif.). \u201cThey and many more will show up and vote whenever the election is set, but the message sent with this bill proves the public\u2019s frustration that politicians will do whatever they can do to stay in power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to analysts, nearly one in every two Californians will likely be hit by Newsom\u2019s water restrictions. While all Californians across the state are being asked to reduce water consumption, large Democrat-led cities including Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco are not included under the emergency proclamation.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/joe-biden-accelerates-afghan-troop-withdrawal-to-end-by-aug-31\/\">Joe Biden Accelerates Afghan Troop Withdrawal To End By Aug. 31<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calif.
