📰 News we're reading

• Gavin Newsom says he was unaware of massive wine cellar in $7.5M home (amedpost.com) — Gov. Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Siebel Newsom are listing their 12,000‑square‑foot Fair Oaks home for $7.5 million, roughly double what they paid in 2018. The secluded property includes a large wine cellar the governor says he barely used, plus a pool, tennis court, wellness space, and guest casita, drawing fresh attention to the high‑end Fair Oaks real estate market.
   

• Governor Newsom signs legislation 8.27.2026 (ca.gov) — One bill in Governor Newsom's latest signing batch comes from Sen. Roger Niello of Fair Oaks, changing audit rules for county special districts and potentially affecting how local agencies are reviewed. The broader package ranges from e‑bike safety training and electrified security fences to CSU faculty issues and JROTC eligibility, touching many corners of California policy.
