Is Gavin Newsom Afraid of California Voters? – WSJ

By Thomas A. Smith

Last week Mr. Newsom joined former state Democratic party chairman John Burton in filing an emergency petition with the state Supreme Court to remove the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act from the November 2024 ballot. The measure would gut the administrative state, they complain, and shift the longstanding balance of powers in California from the executive to the Legislature and people. Oh no!

Once again the CA Supreme Court gets to decide the future of the state. Personally, I’m not optimistic.
