What's happening? 🌿
Officials from the Newsom administration insist they will protect California's environmental programs, such as its landmark climate change law, in the face of pressure from federal and state conservatives. Environmental activists, sensing an intensifying threat to their hard-won victories, are also pledging to fiercely resist efforts to weaken environmental regulations.
The state and environmental groups have two main avenues to achieve this goal: using state laws to maintain existing regulations, and filing lawsuits in response to federal actions that threaten California's environmental protections.
But pushback isn't limited to the environmental front 📣
The Newsom administration is currently under fire for its handling of various issues, including gender identity laws, tariffs, and menopause healthcare legislation. Critics claim the governor is not doing enough to address concerns in these areas, but these matters are not directly related to environmental regulations.
As the battle lines are drawn, it remains to be seen whether the combined efforts of the state and environmental activists will successfully fend off attempts to roll back environmental protections in California. One thing is clear, though: this fight will not be for the faint-hearted.
