It's been a busy week for Governor Brown, who still has dozens of bills from the past legislative session awaiting his signature or veto. He got a few more off his desk yesterday.
In other moves yesterday, Gov. Brown signed a measure that will allo non-profit organizations to operate state parks that are closing due to budget cuts... and a ban on the chemical known as BPA in baby bottles and "sippoy cups." He vetoed a bill that would have allowed welfare recipients to have a car valued at more than $4600. In his veto message, he said it's the wrong time to expand the state's CalWORKS program.
