Time is running out on a California bill that legalizes overdose prevention programs, or safe consumption sites, with Monday as the deadline for Gov. Gavin Newsom's signature. Do you think Newsom should sign the bill? Why or why not?
Time is running out on a California bill that legalizes overdose prevention programs, or safe consumption sites, with Monday as the deadline for Gov. Gavin Newsom's signature.
Senate Bill 57 has been awaiting Newsom's signature for about 12 days, as state and local leaders have made a renewed push for the hotly debated law.

Sagging Yankees Win for Just 10th Time in 30 GamesAndrew Benintendi hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the seventh inning and the New York Yankees got a win they desperately needed, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 to avoid a four-game sweep. On the day Yankees general manager Brian Cashman was booed while the team retired the No. 21 of former star Paul O’Neill, the AL East leaders won for just the 10th time in 30 games since the All-Star break. They lead Toronto by eight games. After New York’s frustrations reached the point of ace Gerrit Cole punching the dugout roof and manager Aaron Boone pounding his hand on a podium Saturday, the Yankees’ only qualms were with Toronto starter Alek Manoah.
