It\u2019s Gavin Newsom\u2019s final year in office as California governor \u2014 and his last chance to use his role as governor to audition for the national stage.<\/p>\n
The governor, who will address the Legislature and present his budget proposal this week, has spent the past seven years pushing an ambitious agenda. Now in his final year, numerous interest groups will clamor for him to pass their preferred policies, nix the regulations they fear and protect the programs they favor. How he responds will follow him into his expected presidential primary run.<\/p>\n
