... isn't it weird that this needs to have a "privacy law"? I'm happy with our Governor. I did not like the incident, from some time ago, where he didn't wear a mask at a party - but that was no reason to recall him. I think he helped California through a tough time... there were no easy answers and no perfect decisions.
