Jerry Brown Vetos California Snow Helmet Law

Picture 493  21144 ThumbIn a shockingly conservative veto California Governor Jerry Brown slammed the door on Senate Bill 105 that hoped to require helmets on the slopes for anyone under 18, according to a story in the Sacramento Bee.

Brown says in a veto message Wednesday that helmets provide protection, but parents can and should make good choices for their children without the state getting involved. . . The Democratic governor says “not every human problem deserves a law.”

And on that we have to agree. California voters likely hope this is an attitude Gov. Brown continues with in other areas as well.

“not every human problem deserves a law” might be the smartest thing I’ve hard all week. Brown was right to veto.
