In recent weeks Newsom has vetoed -
-
A union-supported bill that would have banned driverless testing of autonomous trucks
-
A bill banning caste discrimination
And last year he vetoed a bill that would have banned solitary confinement lasting longer than 15 days - something that the UN considers torture.
He also vetoed $35 price caps for Insulin. What a guy.
I missed that one.
Lawmakers can override a governor’s veto with a two-thirds vote, but they have not tried in decades.
. . .the governor vetoed Wiener’s Senate Bill 90, which caps the cost of insulin at $35 per month. The bill had previously passed the Assembly 79-0 and passed the Senate on 39-0.
This is perfect Democrat behavior, where they get to be on record for supporting something but still make sure it never happens. A supermajority where nothing can happen because the governorship is inevitably a spot to put someone who wants to run for President. The most Blue MAGA state in the country.

Why is the governor even able to veto something that passed with a veto-proof majority? Sorry pal you already lost.
Of the 66 bills vetoed by Newsom, all but 10 passed both houses by a two-thirds vote or more — the same threshold needed for a veto override but unlikely to spark such action when the Legislature reconvenes in January.
