And again I'd like to point out, as I did a couple days ago, Newsom has already called out the "Green Tier" as being achievable:Listening to KFI AM 640 right now, and Governor Newsom is still here in SoCal visiting vaccine sites. He's in Southgate this afternoon, a rather gritty community in south LA. And after being asked specifically by a reporter why there is no Green Tier, Newsom just announced that he's now at least open to adding a "Green Tier" to his Blueprint For A Safer Economy tier system. (It currently ends at the Yellow Tier, which still prevents non-Californians from getting in to Disneyland)
Of course, there's no actual information or documents available on this "Green Tier" from Sacramento yet. It's just words from a politician fighting for his career and a recall election. But this is what he just said this afternoon...
"The Green Tier, that's a good question. We are, ah..., working on socializing that." -Governor Newsom, March 10th, 2021
The reporter from KFI who follows Newsom exclusively was able to translate that statement for the KFI hosts. He claims that by saying "we are working on socializing that" means that Newsom and his team are actively discussing a Green Tier and working on its rules. Or at least that was the reporter's best guess. He said he's heard Newsom use the word "socializing" in sentences before, and it appears to be a buzzword that means "developing the rough idea further for public consumption". Newsom went on from that statement and offered more psycho-babble and buzzwords on the simple question, presented in English, "When do we get a Green Tier?"
But hey, some good news! A reporter actually got Newsom to say "Green Tier" out loud!

And again I'd like to point out, as I did a couple days ago, Newsom has already called out the "Green Tier" as being achievable:
“Our goal is to get to the day when the Blueprint is no longer needed. As more people are vaccinated and more vaccines are available, especially in our most impacted communities, we can envision a day when California can enter the ‘green tier’ – in which strict public health measures will no longer be needed,” continued Governor Newsom.
“Until then, we will continue to evaluate, update and disclose public health and vaccine data to move at a steady and responsible pace.”
California Leads with Public Health and Vaccine Equity to Safely and Sustainably Reopen | Governor of California
State introduces vaccine equity metric to update Blueprint for a Safer Economy based on vaccinating the state’s hardest hit communities against COVID-19 California sets aside 40 percent of vaccine…
So this isn't the first time Newsom has talked about California getting to a "Green Tier".
It has always been about vaccinations, that is the key to getting to the "Green Tier", as I've been telling you for months now. So it should be no shock that now we getting to over 25% of those 18 and older getting at least the first shot that the Tier system will include your beloved "Green Tier".
Whether "prepared" or not, he still said it last week in a press conference. So today is not the first time he's talked "out load in public" about the "Green Tier".

Downtown Disney could offer Indoor Dining on Saturday!
>>The morning after his less-than-stellar State of the State speech, Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered some good news to about 15 million Californians. Newsom said the state on Friday will meet its threshold of administering 2 million Covid-19 vaccine doses in low-income, hard-hit communities, triggering a change in the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy that will advance Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties into the “red” tier of that matrix and clear a path for more businesses to reopen. As long as local health officials agree, businesses in those counties will be allowed to open under the less restrictive red tier limits on Saturday. L.A. has been in the most restrictive tier of the governor’s Blueprint since August.<<
>>“Southern California, you will be a beneficiary of this,” Newsom said during a visit to a mobile vaccination clinic in South Gate.
“Specifically, L.A. will be a big beneficiary of this new metric that likely will be met on Friday. And moving through the weekend and into next week, you will see more activity, more loosening of the tiers,” predicted the governor. That’s encouraging and I hope people will be enthusiastic about what this means moving forward, because we have a series of other thresholds and other goals that will allow us to move forward with more clarity, more conviction and more confidence as we move through the next few weeks and
the next few months.”<<

On Tuesday two members of L.A. County’s powerful Board of Supervisors said they support fully aligning with state guidelines.
“I feel pretty strongly that I think we should align ourselves with the state’s red tier reopening guidelines,” Supervisor Janice Hahn said. “I think to be different than that right now would cause confusion and probably a lot of anger, because there are so many venues out there, entities, that have really suffered and are waiting to get a few more of these restrictions lifted.
“Especially if we’re talking about Disneyland reopening at limited capacity, opening day at Dodger Stadium there’ll be in-person fans,” she said.
“But I really hope that we can stay in alignment so that there is not confusion from one county to the other.”
Supervisor Kathryn Barger agreed with Hahn, saying L.A. County should align its public health order with the state and neighboring counties.
“I believe that clarity and consistency leads to the highest rates of compliance,” Barger said, adding that she wanted to avoid local residents traveling to other counties with lesser restrictions.
Barger also urged Ferrer to get guidance out quickly so businesses can plan ahead to prepare for changing rules.<<
