In late August, the California Senate Republican Caucus asked Newsom to veto the bill, saying, "legal California taxpayers are already struggling to purchase and maintain their homes."
I'm deeply disappointed that Gov. Newsom today vetoed AB 1840," Arambula said in a statement Friday. "The veto doesn't change the fact that many people - including undocumented immigrants - dream of owning a home so that generational wealth can be passed to their children.
In Newsom's veto message to the California State Assembly, he noted there is "finite funding available" for such programs, and expanding eligibility "must be carefully considered within the context of the annual state budget."
