As Newsom Tightens Restrictions, New Questions Emerge about His French Laundry Visit

Governor Gavin Newsom this week announced a dramatic rollback of reopening plans–including a curfew  in a majority of the state’s counties. But the governor himself is under fire for attending a birthday party for a friend– and powerful lobbyist — at the exclusive French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley. Among the other attendees were top officials from the California Medical Association, Politico reported on Thursday. Meanwhile more details are emerging about a recent trip by a group of California officials to a conference in Maui, which is also raising eyebrows.
