    Sounds about right. I know PG&E have his home phone. They get everything they want.

    The California Protocol Foundation picked up the tab. That organization gets money from businesses and nonprofits for gubernatorial expenses like trips abroad — or, evidently, burner phones — so taxpayers aren’t on the hook. It also drew leftover funds from Newsom’s inauguration account, which itself drew business, so in a roundabout way California’s private sector helped fund phones nurturing ties with the private sector.

    Sigh.
