NEWSOM DIAPER PROGRAM SPENDING FACES COST COMPARISON SCRUTINY

Gavin Newsom’s $20 million NGO-backed diaper program is drawing criticism over cost efficiency after comparisons showed the state is effectively spending about 50 cents per diaper, significantly higher than retail prices at major stores. Walmart pricing for comparable diaper brands ranges roughly from 16 cents to 29 cents per diaper depending on brand and package size, meaning the program’s per-unit cost is about two to three times higher than retail. Supporters say bulk distribution programs often include logistics and administrative costs, while critics argue the gap raises questions about efficiency and spending oversight in state-funded nonprofit initiatives.
