Summary: Monday in Sacramento, Gavin Newsom will be sworn in as the 40th governor of California. He takes over a state flush with a $14.5 billion dollar rainy day fund and a budget surplus of at least $10 billion. But Newsom also inherits a state experiencing a housing crisis, rising income inequality and a growing vulnerability to wildfires. The Statehouse will be stacked in Newsom's favor, with a three-fourths “ultra” Democratic majority. Meanwhile, the California Republican party will be forced to do some soul searching about if and how it will rebuild itself. Tell us, what are your hopes -- or fears -- for a California under Governor Newsom?
