Last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom told me if Texas didn’t move forward, California would have “no need” to change Congressional maps. Apparently, that’s out the window.

The California Energy Commission dusted off a 20+ year old bill to pass new rules restricting tire sales in the state. The CEC has not regulated tires before. I asked Commissioner (former State Sen) Nancy Skinner if she pushed it & why this sat dormant until now.
