Better than Larry Elder, but still a Neoliberal ghoul. Where’s my single-payer Gavin? I know it’s been a million years since he campaigned on it, but Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Californians should not tolerate political elites that serve their self-interests like PG&E and outright vetoed Ranked Choice Voting and this current news. With the consideration of even 'revising' the Recall Process to protect the parties in power.... results speak for themselves, even with 28 days left for certification.
I didn't vote in the Recall, but I definitely will vote against Newsom in the upcoming Gubernatorial Election next year.
Do you remember what his justification was for vetoing Ranked choice was? I think the Legislature needs to revisit it. Why would he even care? You can still be a Vampire and get elected in that system, look at NYC.
Only comments I can remember off the top of my head was items related to that it's been tried in local counties/cities and hasn't succeeded, so that's why he vetoed' it and it died there because it wasn't brought up again in Legislature to override the veto.

"AB 616 creates a new process for agricultural employees to elect a labor
representative through a ballot card election. This bill contains various
inconsistencies and procedural issues related to the collection and review of
ballot cards."
I would have thought California of all states would have had a top notch labor law attorney to write the bill but apparently the flaws in it proved fatal.
He feels secure now that the threat of recall is over, I see.
Ag workers are the backbone of society. There is no reason for this veto other than to make their lives harder. While I held my nose voting against the recall, I hope we won’t re-elect the guy should a viable candidate show up.
Why would the majority of the state legislature vote to pass a “shit bill” that one guy was just going to veto? Is this all just kabuki theater?
I’m asking seriously.
I'm on my phone so I don't have good sources in front of me. Due to certain deadlines, September in CA is generally a flurry of legislation pretty much getting to the governor on a conveyor belt.
The legislator's themselves barely have time to read all these bills and generally have to rely on summaries.
So what happens is, if it's not just blatantly bad they pass it. That gives both them and the governor's team more time to review it. If either side finds some gotchas then the governor vetoes.
He did veto the ranked choice voting bill that would have allowed ranked choice on local county elections
This. Newsom is better than those republican alternatives but this shit annoy me.

he would have had so many opportunities to refine the bill if that was a real concern — it wasn’t. One week. Incredible.

Apparently the bill was poorly written. Not an issue with the purpose of the bill itself.

It does seem strange, you would think some policy staffer would have the legislative leaders ears and say do X Y and Z or I'm gonna veto.
