The Governor finished signing or vetoing all the bills on his desk by the September 30th deadline. In all, he signed 1,040 bills into law and vetoed 120. This week, Darcy and Darcy start this episode off by thanking a faithful listener for writing-in with critical, but-right-on-the-money comments and then welcomed back Assembly Ag Committee Chair Esmeralda Soria to share her thoughts on how the legislative session ended. She discussed some key legislation she was able to get over the finish line as well as some that fell short. She also discussed with the Darcys how she continues to bridge the gap between urban and ag policymakers, and her hopes on how we can do better investing in water infrastructure as well as how she has been able to remove regulatory barriers for farmers, growers, and processors.
