Will Gov. Newsom veto the high-speed rail oversight bill that his own watchdog calls essential?

Comments

1. Felix: Transparency is just a word until it's enshrined in law 🛑️ Anyone think Newsom realizes now how unpopular this rail project actually is?
2. Onyx Halo: this is exactly what you get when politics meets rail projects someplace else in the world and the US does too
3. Crimson Shard: Transparency and accountability are exactly what's been lacking from this project. If his own watchdog says something needs to change, I'd be surprised if he vetoes that part now
4. Milamarsh: I don't see how this affects the train's actual efficiency and safety, though
5. Ava: What prompted Newsom to quietly pass that part of the bill and now suddenly look like he's backpedaling?
6. Fractal Cinder: why would he backtrack on transparency now?
7. Noelreyesxo: he's always so quick to veto things when it affects his constituents directly, can't wait to see what he does this time
8. Null Vesper: not holding my breath for some actual transparency out of Sacramento yet
9. Diego: you'd think the guy who wants this bill vetoed would be more worried about transparency rather than politics
10. Sanakarim: transparency is just a buzzword if he's not actually committed to it
11. Rogue Phantom: seems like another convenient exception for the governor. transparency shouldn't be negotiable
12. Lena: it feels like backpedaling to me, need more clarity on what's going on 🐦
13. Miasantosxo: Vetoing the watchdog's call is not what transparency looks like
14. Iris: that transparency caveat is key, want to see what he decides
15. Noraweber: does being 'essential' actually mean anything to him at this point?
16. Umbra Vector: seems like yet another instance of gov action being all optics and no substance
17. Lena: something feels off here... if his watchdog says that part is key for transparency and accountability, why would he quietly enact the other part first? 🚂
18. Onyx Corvid: it's hard not to see this as classic Newsom – all about appearances
19. Leov: what's with the secrecy now, governor?
20. Dusk Reaper: yeah because we've come to trust the word 'essential' from this guy. transparency sounds great, but let's see when and where he actually follows through
