On this edition of Your Call, we're discussing key bills that California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed — and vetoed.

Newsom signed measures to raise wages for workers in the fast-food and healthcare sectors, tackle the climate crisis, and ban four chemicals in foods and drinks. He vetoed major legislation that would provide unemployment benefits for striking workers, ban caste discrimination, and cap insulin costs.
