California Rolls Back Its Landmark Environmental Law​

Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers scaled back a law that was vilified for its role in California’s housing shortage and homelessness crisis.

California leaders on Monday rolled back a landmark law that was a national symbol of environmental protection before it came to be vilified as a primary reason for the state’s severe housing shortage and homelessness crisis.
The governor, who may run for president in 2028, recognized that Democrats had to shift course on pocketbook issues.

“We’ve got to get out of our own damn way,” he said last week.

When Gavin runs for president he will be vilified by the Marxists, who are now the mainstream democrats.
They’ll label him as a DINO. lol

Not if he wins the nomination, unlike the GOP, the Democrats are the big tent party, not as much as they used to be, but they can accommodate a AOC and Manchin

Marxists

Republiscum hate all environmental laws no matter how effective or ineffective they might be.

They hate any and all environmentalism and those who support it.

He won’t and can’t.
This goes against the DNC platform. The nominee must be 100% with the ideology.

the Democrats are the big tent party

No longer. They are the party of fringe extremism.

Nothing wrong with environmentalism but when the cure is worse than the disease one has to use common sense.

What choice will anyone have but to get the current fascist out of office. Of course he will be vilified by Trumps fascist psychophants for this and much more that they can pull out of their ass. The single most important thing is to get this abomination to our Constitutional form of government out of power. That’s the only thing that matters. Not to mention the fucking progressive need to learn to keep their mouth shut because they are the absolute best friends the fascist MAGA crowd has.

There is a choice. If Dems nominate a moderate they win running away.
But they won’t. Nominate another vegetable figurehead or Marxist and get used to the idea of having Vance .

Wake up. I said the mainstream dems would villify Gavin . They already did for having Charlie Kirk, Steve Banon and Michael Savage on his podcast.
Besides the opposition always vilifies their opponent.
Reagan, Bush Sr and Jr, Obama, Biden and even Mitt Romney were called Hitler.

. The single most important thing is to get this abomination to our Constitutional form of government out of power.

He can’t run in 3.5 years. Don’t worry.

Not to mention the fucking progressive need to learn to keep their mouth shut because they are the absolute best friends the fascist MAGA crowd has.

The only thing you said on this post that made sense.

Manchin quit the Dems.

Manchin quit because he was up for re-election and knew he could never be the far right demagogue it takes to win in ruby red West Virginia. Should I list the Republicans who have quit?

These changes in the law cannot make enough of an impact to a problem that has been festering for decades, fast enough to prevent the collapse of California. Its like a 2 foot round rubber patch on the rip down the side of the Titanic.

Actually, by rolling back this law they implemented more environmental extremism.

Last-minute California budget includes sweeping environmental law rollbacks

Major changes include an exemption for high-tech industrial plants and other projects. The move, fast-tracked under pressure from Gov. Gavin Newsom, sparked fierce pushback from environmental, community and labor groups.
