SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Top priorities often conflict. Enjoy a vacation or advance at work? Save money for retirement or your kids' college education?
It's hard sometimes to have it both ways. The same goes with a governor when his policies compete.
Gov. Gavin Newsom is caught between two top priorities, although he doesn't acknowledge it. He's trying to be a global leader on climate change. But he has also promised to build more housing. He has elegantly articulated the need for both saving the planet and providing affordable places for Californians to live.
