California plans delayed warnings on BPA in can liners to avoid scaring poor neighborhoods away from canned fruits and vegetables. The May 11 general at checkout notices will mention BPA dangers and that some containers contain the chemical, amid protests from public-health groups. State EPA officials hope to add specific can warnings later after study results and manufacturer labeling progress.

McAuliffe vetoes bills curbing gun policy powers
Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe vetoed two Republican backed bills. One would undo his order banning guns in state offices and the other would bar agencies from prohibiting employees from carrying firearms in vehicles. He argues the measures would weaken policies against workplace violence and accidents. Both vetoes stand as the legislature fell short of overturning them.
