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.
This is harm reduction babe, deal with it
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.
harm reduction tho
He’s just such an obvious amalgam of carcetti from the wire and the smiler
In terms of good things blocked, Newsome might be the worst governor in the country
