minus-squareOmnipotentEntity@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoFor those not keeping track: No unemployment for strikers. No $35 insulin. No decriminalization of mushrooms. No hearing aids for kids. No free condoms for high schoolers. No safe drug injection sites. No ban on caste discrimination. No stripping Jan 6 supporting non-profits of their non-profit status. No mandatory kindergarten. No free public transit for grade schoolers. No reduction of light pollution. No San Joaquin Valley air quality. No requirement for custody cases to consider gender affirmation. No requirement for a human driver in self-driving trucks. No shield preventing undocumented immigrants in California custody to be reported to the Feds. No prohibition of foreign governments to buy agricultural land. No deadline extension for reparations committee. No end to indefinite solitary confinement. No limit to the governor’s emergency powers. No BitLicense. No high school ethnic studies requirement. No ranked choice voting. No paid family leave raise. No college financial aid increase. No interpersonal communication lessons for cops. No monetary sobriety incentives. No decriminalization of jaywalking. No allowing bicyclists to roll through stop signs. And likely many more. These were just the ones I could find in a short search and were at least moderately annoyed by.
minus-squareLetstakealook@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI’m not familiar with California’s government, but I’m assuming there’s a mechanism to overturn a veto. Hopefully, they have the votes and can do what their constituents elected them to do.
