We are extremely disappointed that @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom has vetoed #AB3129 by @JimWoodAD2 & sponsored by @AGRobBonta. This veto will allow #privateequity bad actors to continue to flourish in our health care system unchecked, and leave patients unprotected.

Disappointed that @CAgovernor vetoed #AB2513 to require gas stove warning labels. Consumers should be given more info on the health risks of gas stove pollution. Thank you for your efforts @AsmGailPellerin. More from @washingtonpost
