Newsom is a future presidential candidate. Misinformation, scandals, accusations of fraud, etc. will be the norm for the next four years. This isn't a new thing in presidential politics, nor specific to either party. Politics is a contact sport, and the competitors play the long game.

It's more than a little bit disingenuous to suggest that it's misinformation to link Newsom to a bill he claims to have collaborated on. Besides, with PG&E reporting record profits and the CPUC granting PG&E's every rate hike you really don't need to resort to misinformation. Folks just have to start waving their utility bills around if Newsom is dumb enough to run for president. I'm a little surprised his tenure as governor is turning out this way. As mayor he definitely dialed down the rampant cronyism and corruption that defined Brown's reign.

    Yeah I already addressed that. Newsom's trying to walk back his pay to play bullshit by claiming Panera doesn't produce bread on site. If you believe that, well, I've a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. If California tries to enforce their strict definition of produce, you can bet Newsom's buddy will litigate (and that nobody will like the outcome). More likely California will look the other way when Panera refuses to up their wages. Think about it critically for a sec without your partisan goggles. We're talking about a hyper specific exemption (60+ locations, sells bread produced on-site as a standalone product since at least 2022 or whenever). If it doesn't apply to Panera, who does it apply to? It won't apply to McDonald's or Subway because bread has never been a standalone item there. It won't apply to the Lee's by my place because there aren't 60 of them. Certainly Newsom and the legislature wouldn't have spent the effort to carve out an exemption that applies to nobody.
