Newsom vetoes bill on pollution reviews near schools
Original: Newsom kills bill requiring polluting factories near schools to undergo environmental review
California Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed legislation that would have required polluting factories located near schools to undergo environmental review. The bill's backers had argued it would protect children's health in communities adjacent to industrial facilities. Critics of the veto say it leaves students exposed to unexamined pollution risks, while supporters of the decision point to concerns about regulatory burdens on business.
Why now: The veto is drawing attention because it pits children's health advocacy against business and regulatory concerns in California.
