Newsom returning AB 527 without his signature, this bill would have have created a categorical exemption from CEQA for geothermal exploration. Geothermal developers and energy orgs were very enthusiastic about this bill. Does this mean anything for SB 79? It makes me feel a bit uneasy because...

I thought he was just an ignorant blowhard, but it's worse than I could've imagined.

Great bill, I trust you also nudged him on the right direction on SB 79, as well 😉

Insta-blocked by Larry Gross, CADEM regional director for SFV in LA, for gently reminding him that his opinion is overwhelmingly at massive odds with his own party on SB 79. If these are the unsophisticated primitive NIMBYs that Newsom is listening to, he probably has no business running for POTUS.

His image is that of an enforcer of zoning and streamlining laws, let's hope it's not just an elaborate ruse.

if anyone's wondering if there's even an inkling of Newsom being receptive in any way to the impotent whining (& they like to spill the tea readily!) of LA's main NIMBY group on SB 79, here's a lil recent update. Btw, call his office 916-445-2841, urge he sign, takes 90 seconds.

I'm a little worried but I do follow the LA-based NIMBY groups pretty closely (don't ask how I got access to their mailing lists), all I see is lots of impotent rage, with "nothing good to report", and no signs of Newsome being receptive to their whining (and they'd be the first to say otherwise)

The only other declared person running for LA Mayor is currently a street lighting engineering project manager for the city and honestly at this point I'm pretty sure I'll take this guy over Bass

Unfortunately my senator is Caroline Menjivar, someone I voted for because she ran on an excellent pro-housing and pro-transit platform come out with a total about-face no vote on SB79u. I've been meaning to call to express my disappointment, will do that and ask her to vote for Lena Gonzalez.
