BREAKING: @GavinNewsom vetoed #AB1456, arguably the most significant expansion of state financial aid in a generation and one that would have made about 150,000 more students, including 110,000 at community colleges, eligible for the Cal Grant. Context: calmatters.org/explainers/cal…
Note the timing of this veto: It landed in reporters’ inboxes Friday evening while much of the state is glued to the first playoff battle between the archrivals L.A. Dodgers and S.F. Giants. So many advocates wanted this bill passed. It sailed through the Legislature.
In his veto message, Newsom said "this bill results in
significant cost pressures to the state, likely in the hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Future changes to the financial aid system of this magnitude should be
considered as a part of the annual budget process."
