The golden stateʼs leadership is gearing-up for a significant political-legal strategy session. Gavin Newsom alongside state law-makers will gather at Sacramentoʼs Capitol next monday to discuss protective steps for Californiaʼs existing policies
In a pre-emptive move against potential federal-level changes the democratic-controlled legislature (which holds super-majorities in both houses) looks to boost its legal defenses. The states top official — known for his straight-forward opposition to conservative federal policies — wants to strengthen the attorney-generals office: giving it extra resources to handle expected legal disputes
The timing of this special-session shows careful planning by Californiaʼs administration which aims to keep its progressive laws intact. Newsom and his team dont want to leave anything to chance; theyʼre putting together a well thought-out strategy that includes financial support for future court battles
