Embattled Gov. Newsom: ‘Brighter days ahead’ for California
Associated PressLOS ANGELES — California Gov. “People are alive today because of the public health decisions we made — lives saved because of your sacrifice,” Newsom said Tuesday night in his third State of the State address. Newsom painted a rosy picture of the state’s future, saying the state’s vaccine program is “allowing you to visit your parents again, go to your daughter’s basketball game, show up for shift work without fearing an infection.” He pledged to “make sure every Californian who needs a vaccine can get one,” while prioritizing those at the greatest risk for exposure. That’s the most in the country but Newsom called California’s death rate “one of the lowest per capita in the nation” at 134 per 100,000 residents. “This is our moment to create the California we all want to live in.” Newsom made only passing reference to one of his signature issues — climate change — which he tied to the record wildfires that scorched 4% of all of California’s land last year.
