Gavin Newsom’s Illegal Labor Problem

It’s 5 a.m. in Napa Valley and the field workers have been picking grapes for an hour. Floodlights illuminate the pitch darkness, bringing to life the vines running up and down the sloping hillside. Off in the distance, a tractor rumbles, pulling a small trailer filled with plastic buckets that will soon be filled with grapes. Spanish chatter fills the air as the workers’ hands move in quick, practiced motions. They work at night to escape the heat. It’s cold enough now that their breath is visible, hanging like smoke before dissipating in the predawn darkness.

Tractor Supply Co. on probation in California after pesticide dealing violations

California’s Department of Pesticide Regulation is placing Tractor Supply Co. on a five-year probation after repeated violations of its pesticide dealing and sales policies for years. Of the Tennessee-based company’s 99 California locations, the state said 65 were cited by county agricultural commissioners for pesticide compliance issues between Jan. 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025. Tractor Supply Co. violated state pesticide enforcement regulations such as selling restricted material pesticide products without requesting a permit, license or certification information from buyers and selling pesticide products without a dealer license. Restricted pesticides are products that are hazardous to public health, farmworkers, the environment and wildlife. The company also completed 123 sales of unregistered products, a Department of Pesticide Regulation review of sales from April 2022 to April 2026 found. “Californians deserve a marketplace where every seller plays by the rules,” department director Karen Morrison said in a Friday news release. “When companies cut corners, it puts our communities at risk and undermines businesses that follow the law.” The agricultural commissioner citations were mostly resolved, the state said, with Tractor Supply Co’s $5.1 million settlement agreement with five California counties in September. The settlement followed a complaint filed on behalf of the five

Laws Unlock 100,000-Home Potential, Multifamily Standouts, ICC Plans 2030

From state housing reforms and California HOA rules to affordable geothermal and energy-efficiency incentives, this week’s stories offer a snapshot of the housing industry. Ten state laws passed this year could potentially lead to 103,000 additional homes a year, according to a new American Enterprise Institute study. About half of the projected homes are accessory dwelling units. California and Washington account for the largest estimates, but the numbers are projections—not a guarantee of construction. The analysis points to how zoning and development changes could expand the range of homes builders can deliver.
