SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Gavin Newsom did something new — for him. He got aggressively engaged behind the scenes, negotiating with legislators. And it paid off.
Personal, hands on, face-to-face engagement — the kind that's uncharacteristic of this governor.
As a result, Newsom won a huge political and policy victory over Big Oil, as he'll undoubtedly be reminding Californians and telling all of America for years to come.
