Opinion: Ban on state travel to red states may end
California’s performative ban on state-funded travel to states with policies Sacramento politicians don’t like may soon end. Sen. Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, has introduced Senate Bill 447 to repeal California’s ban on travel to two dozen states with anti-LGBT laws. But, of course, there’s a catch.
In practice, the ban doesn’t really stop travel from California lawmakers and officials to such states. Last summer, for example, Gov. Gavin Newsom vacationed in Montana, which is subject to the travel ban. As this editorial board wrote three years ago, “these travel bans are really just a way to dupe voters into thinking Sacramento is doing something when it’s clearly doing nothing.
The bill comes as Newsom has launched a federal political action committee called “Campaign for Democracy” through which he plans to “take the fight to states where freedom is most under attack.”
