California governor won’t deliver State of the State speech
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Gov. Gavin Newsom won’t give a State of the State address this year, shunning the teleprompter that has frustrated him because of his dyslexia in favor of a statewide tour this month, in which he can highlight his major policy goals in a more informal setting.
Just about every governor in the U.S. gives a State of the State address, which mimics the State of the Union speech given by the president to Congress every year. The California Constitution requires the governor report to the state Legislature every year “on the condition of the State.” “Long gone are the days of an hour long gubernatorial address on prime time TV that everyone went into their living room and watched,” said Matt Barreto, a political science professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. “Perhaps the governor is thinking there are more effective ways of going out into the community and speaking directly to voters.”
