Gavin Newsom deals blow to reparations effort in California as he signs law that will see state formally apologise for legacy of slavery - but vetoes key property bill

Governor Gavin Newsom has dealt a blow to reparations efforts in California that will see the state formally apologise for the lingering effects of slavery after he vetoed a key property bill.
The rejected Senate Bill 1050 would have helped Black families reclaim or be compensated for property that was unjustly seized by the government through racially motivated eminent domain.
The governor's reasons for not going ahead with the property proposal are because lawmakers blocked another bill to create a reparations agency that would have reviewed these claims, meaning the proposal wouldn't have been able to come into full effect.

Pure virtue signalling. “I am SO much better than anyone else. I can embarrass other people by apologizing for imaginary things their remote ancestors probably didn’t do. Gosh, I’m awesome!”

California was not a slave state.
Newsom is a greasy worm.

I guess Newsom figured that a state that’s 79 billion dollars in debt and has a projected 2025 70 billion dollar budget deficit cannot find a few trillion dollars to hand out to the blacks.

California had slaves? Maybe when it was still a part of Spain or Mexico and they had Indian slaves.
