"Bill To Blunt Trump Environment Policy Vetoed In California"

"SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Engaged in environmental battles with the Trump administration on multiple fronts, California Gov. Gavin Newsom angered some allies on Friday by vetoing a bill aimed at blunting federal rollbacks of clean air and endangered species regulations in the state.

The bill would have made it easier for state regulators to counter the Trump administration’s efforts to change enforcement of the federal Endangered Species Act and other environmental pillars — at least in California.

But Newsom, a Democrat in his first year in office, called the bill “a solution in search of a problem.” He said the bill would force the state to rely on old science and would imperil the complex negotiations between state and federal agencies over how to manage the state’s water."

Adam Beam reports for the Associated Press September 27, 2019.
