Two other updates:
1) Newsom hasn't acted on any of the seven bills listed in this piece
2) In his time in office, two pieces of legislation got a "pocket signature," so expect action sometime this week.

Mea cupla on me. I wrote in this piece that legislation the governor doesn't sign or veto receives a "pocket veto." While that's true in D.C. and New Jersey (where I once worked as a lobbyist), but not in California. If Newsom doesn't act on leg., it becomes law.

The story of the rails-to-trails movement is one of the most epic, controversial, and still ongoing tales in the history of American advocacy. And now, it’s finally getting a film that’s worthy of that epic narrative.

“There are a number of reasons to think that we have a unique window of opportunity to make more pedestrian streets permanent right now,” writes Diana Lind. “We shouldn’t squander this moment.”

Happy #CleanAirDay! The Inland Empire has the US's dirtiest air, and LA is not far behind. The top source of ozone precursors is cars and trucks. Let's get dirty cars and trucks off the road by electrifying freight and passenger rail!
Sources of NOx emissions, Southern California, 2020. Mobile - On-Road is the largest source about 2/5ths, with Mobile - Off-road is about 1/5, Locomotives are about 1/8th, and everything else is about 1/4
