The California Assembly passed a law requiring farmers to notify local officials before spraying potentially cancer-causing pesticides within a quarter-mile of a school. Bill now moves to the Senate, my Los Angeles Times colleague Anabel Sosa reports: latimes.com/california/sto…

Another from me yesterday in Los Angeles Times. By my counts this is around the ~11th time lawmakers have tried – and failed – to get a single-payer system into California. latimes.com/california/sto…

Just now Gavin Newsom said they plan to close Chuckawalla Valley State Prison – the state's third and final planned closure, as of now – as early as November. That is several months sooner than the projected March 2025 date.

Great piece from Anabel Sosa highlighting key perspectives — including from California Budget & Policy Center — on closing more prisons.

Downsizing CA's bloated prison system is the right & policy choice, but can't happen w/o the governor's support, which is clearly in doubt.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is in a precarious spot. Should he close more prisons or has he done enough? Some say it's more nuanced than that. New from me in the Los Angeles Times this morning:

NEW: Former chair of FEC alleges that Kevin Kiley's reelection campaign is closely tied to the tough-on-crime ballot initiative to reform Prop. 47. Huge retail corps like Target and Walmart have also put millions to get it on November's ballot. latimes.com/california/sto…
