Senate Bill 799, which has already been passed by the state Assembly, now goes to a vote of the full Senate. If approved there, it will be up to Governor Gavin Newsom to either sign it into law or veto it. Last year, he vetoed 169 bills while signing nearly 1,000.
The WGA has been on strike since May 2, and SAG-AFTRA since July 14, but the bill would extend unemployment benefit coverage to all striking workers in the state, not just writers and actors. In 2019, a similar bill failed in the Senate by just two votes.

“Today is about turning a page, moving from this crisis mentality, moving from a reactive framework to a framework where we are more sentinel,” said the governor. “[We are] moving away from a reactive mindset and a crisis mindset to living with this virus.” Newsom and other state officials laid out what they called their “S.M.A.R.T.E.R” plan for doing so.
The topline of California’s new model is the flexibility to respond to future variants and outbreaks even as the state loosens many restrictions that have become unpopular. As the region’s Director of Health and Human Services Dr.

One of the oldies celebrated by lovers of ’80s fare, Martha Coolidge’s ode to pampered teens in La La Land has aged extremely well. It’s still fairly representative of reality, but the romantic fairy tale angle is what keeps it afloat. Nicolas Cage’s unguarded vulnerability and Deborah Foreman’s infectious smile win the day — we like these kids, even if they’re somewhat idealized.
