California ‘s first-in-the-nation Fast Food Council is another one of its run-of-the-mill duds, proving that the state’s obsession with bureaucracy for bureaucracy’s sake is suffocating California taxpayers and businesses.

The council, designed to micromanage regulations of the fast-food industry (including minimum wage hikes), has not had a leader since May, when Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) appointed its chairman to another regulatory bureaucracy. The nine-person council last held a subcommittee hearing in February and has not met at all in 2025, despite being required by the state law that created it to meet at least every six months.
