Gavin Newsom signals June 15 may not be a return to normal in testy press conference

Despite signaling for weeks that June 15 would mark a return to a pre-pandemic normal in California, Gov. Gavin Newsom suggested otherwise during an often tense Friday press conference.

After announcing the first wave of prizes in the state’s vaccine lottery, Newsom took questions from the state’s political reporters and when addressing three separate policy areas new workplace mask rules, indoor capacity restrictions and emergency powers cast doubt on the idea that June 15 would be a return to normalcy (the press conference took a combative turn right from the get-go after the first question from the Sacramento Bee’s Sophia Bollag was about her reporting related to large companies lobbying Newsom and donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to his wife’s nonprofit. Newsom denied any conflict of interest).
