Gov. Newsom and environmental groups are clashing over some climate policies.
“Being an environmentalist, it means being able to say yes to clean energy projects and clean water projects that will get us off of fossil fuels faster,” York said. “The fight you saw over infrastructure and streamlining is almost like an opening skirmish in some of the wars to come."
In the Legislature, much of the friction has come from process. Newsom often shows up with complex proposals and demands lawmakers bypass their normal vetting process to pass them quickly — to the frustration of lawmakers who like to put their own stamp on policy. “The state needs to build. If you want to address extremes and you want to move to change the way we produce and consume energy, that means we have to be big in big things,” Newsom said during a news conference last week.
