As to why he's opposed, some think this is the reason.

Unofficially, some griped that as a winery owner, Newsom was too close to growers and their interests. They pointed out that his PlumpJack brand, which is being managed in a blind trust while Newsom is in office, expanded to buy another winery even as farmworkers marched 335 miles to the Capitol to fight his promised veto.


I give to UFW every month. ON their FB page they post pictures of farm workers & describe some of what they do & the temperatures they do it in & I wonder how many of those sloppy insurrectionist could even do the job for a few hours, much less day in & day out. Our produce departments would be empty without these workers.
