UNEXPECTEDLY: Governor Newsom Reneges on Promise to Surrender His Emergency COVID-19 Powers.

Related: ‘Absolutely None:’ Gavin Newsom denies conflicts of interest in donations to wife’s nonprofit. “A Sacramento Bee investigation published online Thursday found more than $800,000 in donations to the nonprofit Representation Project from companies that have lobbied the governor, including PG&E, AT&T and Kaiser Permanente. Those donations have helped fund Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s six-figure salary at The Representation Project, which she founded to finance her documentary films and promote feminism.”

No word yet if Newsom’s rebuttal was issued from a table at the French Laundry.
