Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have required state homelessness programs to more closely monitor and report their spending. > In a message explaining his decision to kill the measure — which had near-unanimous, bipartisan support in the state legislature — Newsom said that “while I fully support efforts to increase accountability and the effectiveness of our state homelessness programs, similar measures are already in place.”
