California’s legislature produces more bills than any other statehouse in the nation, and all that effluent ultimately finds itself pooling around Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk.
Think of the dark majesty of all of those words — in bills that prohibit Froot Loops on school menus, that deploy state power to the task of reorganizing your closet, that ban from public schools any mascot that might trigger the outrage of some infinitesimal fraction of the populace, and that prohibit employers from saying anything in the workplace about “politics” and “religion.”
