California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have helped waterfowl and other migratory birds, while also ensuring no net loss of wetlands in the state. AB 828, a bill to support sustainable groundwater management and managed wetlands in California, was sent to the governor with strong bipartisan backing. The bill passed the California Senate on a 29-10 vote, and the Assembly on a 53-17 tally in late August.
