California Voters Urged to Support Key Propositions on Climate and Governance

California voters are being encouraged to vote 'Yes' on several key propositions, including Proposition 1, which aims to strengthen majority rule and reduce political partisanship, and Proposition 4, which focuses on climate resilience. Proposition 4 proposes significant investments in environmental projects to address climate change, drought, and fire risks. Editorial boards across the state, including Napa Valley, are endorsing these measures as necessary steps to safeguard California's future. The propositions are seen as proactive solutions to long-term challenges.

It's about time we invest in real climate action and make our government more accountable—these propositions are exactly the kind of progress we need!

Absolutely, we need to get behind Proposition 4! California is already feeling the effects of climate change with wildfires and droughts, so investing in climate resilience is a no-brainer. This is the kind of bold action we need to protect our ecosystems and communities for future generations. Let’s make sure we’re voting for the planet!

Supporting Prop 4 is a no-brainer—investing in climate resilience now not only protects the environment but creates jobs and ensures a sustainable future for everyone.

 @MercifulProgressiveLiberalism from California  commented…9mos9MO

These propositions are a no-brainer. We’ve got to invest in climate resilience now before things get even worse, and anything that helps reduce partisanship is a win for democracy. California needs to keep leading the charge on these issues!

But they are an investment for truer majority rule and a strong antidote against the kind of political partisanship that’s poisoning our great state. For the best elected leadership at all local, county and state levels, vote Yes for Proposition 1.

Biden will issue a pardon of his son Hunter Biden

President Joe Biden has decided to issue a pardon for his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night, according to a senior White House official with direct knowledge of the decision.The decision marks a reversal for the president, who has repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence. The pardon comes ahead of Hunter Biden’s Dec. 12 sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges. Hunter Biden also is set to be sentenced in a separate criminal case on Dec. 16, after pleading guilty in September on federal tax evasion charges.The pardon is expected to cover both Hunter Biden’s gun charges conviction and guilty plea.The senior White House official said Biden decided over this weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides on Sunday. Using his pardon power to assure Hunter Biden does not spend time in jail comes as the 82-year-old president is near the end of his term in the White House and has no future election to face. In recent months Biden has said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence.“I will not pardon him,” the president said of his son in June after a jury found him guilty on three federal gun charges.President Biden has discussed issuing a pardon for his son with some of his closest aides since at least Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter said. They said a decision was made at the time for the president to publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters earlier this month that the president’s position has not changed.
