The proposed California bill would have created excise taxes on the sale of new guns and would have raised more than $100 million annually for gun violence prevention programs. It failed by nine votes.

Nevada County law enforcement officials and advocates for homeless people are applauding a training program designed to improve police officer’s interactions with the homeless.
Hospitality House, the county’s largest homeless shelter, introduced the Peace Officers and Standards Training (POST) curriculum to Nevada County earlier this year, in partnership with regional law enforcement entities. These partner agencies include the Grass Valley Police Department, the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office, and the Nevada City Police Department.

RECALL TO BE HELD THIS FALL
Via Lara Korte.
Here we go, folks.
The effort to recall Gavin Newsom officially has enough signatures to trigger an election, Secretary of State Shirley Weber confirmed Monday afternoon. As of April 26, there are 1,626,042 valid recall signatures, well over the 1.5 million needed to trigger an election.
Don t mark your calendars just yet, though. Next comes a 30 day withdrawal period where anyone can have their signature removed from the recall petition. To do so, voters have to submit the request to the county elections official where the voter lived at the time they signed the petition.
