Gavin managed to get forests policy out from under the veto of some, not all, environmentalists, specifically the Sierra Club with its policy of opposing all logging activities. This was a major achievement, for which he and Jerry Brown may eventually get much-deserved credit. The rubber hit the road with simplifications of the CEQA process…the same mechanism he is taking here, so that CEQA ceases to be an instrument for extra-governmental vetoes and obstruction.
I don’t like Gavin’s haircut, and I think he has some bad insticts in personnel decisions (Guilfoyle!!!) that some bad courtiers may continue to exploit, but big picture I can easily support him, even enthusiastically, if he will take credit for the forests policy innovations that have been unrolling throughout his tenure.
One of my sisters lives in California. She told me that she voted for Newsom in the last election only because all the other choices were much worse. That would sum up my feelings if he were by some disaster to become the Democratic presidential candidate in 2028.
