California lawmakers in Assembly are not letting a protest stop them from business here.
They’re debating whether to put a climate bond on the Nov. ballot, regardless of small ceasefire protest, which has forced sergeants to shut down the public gallery upstairs.
BREAKING: Gov. Gavin Newsom is nixing his plan to put a competing Prop 47/drug & theft penalty measure on the November ballot.
