We know that much more needs to be done and we look forward to our continued work with you to respond to this crisis together. As COVID-19 continues to impact both urban and rural communities, we are gravely concerned about the compromised digital access that now threatens entire communities, and people’s livelihoods, educational access, quality of healthcare and lives. Our rural communities are particularly less prepared to mitigate the pandemic itself and adapt to what will certainly be a different world in a post-COVID economy, in large part because of the lack of access to broadband. Some 18 million Americans lack access to broadband internet connectivity, 14 million of whom reside in rural America. In today’s economy these communities, businesses and families without adequate access are left behind, and the consequences are staggering from an economic, health, education, and social standpoint. Broadband is not a luxury, but rather critical infrastructure that’s vitally important to our economic future and national security.

    5/7/2018 Office of the Governor | GOVERNORS MURPHY, CUOMO, MALLOY, RAIMONDO, BAKER, CARNEY AND ROSSELLÓ ANNOUNCE NA… STATE OF NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR PHIL MURPHY GOVERNORS MURPHY, CUOMO, MALLOY, RAIMONDO, BAKER, CARNEY AND ROSSELLÓ ANNOUNCE NATION’S FIRST REGIONAL GUN VIOLENCE RESEARCH CONSORTIUM Trenton - New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, Connecticut Governor Dannel P. Malloy, Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, Delaware Governor John Carney, and Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló today announced the nation’s first Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium, a key initiative of the historic “States for Gun Safety” coalition between New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Delaware, and Puerto Rico. The consortium brings the thought leaders and top researchers from partner states together to undertake significant new research on all manners of gun violence, data collection and analysis across multiple disciplines. This unprecedented effort will provide the public, including policymakers, with new information to ultimately reduce the scourge of gun violence. This groundbreaking consortium fills the void left by the federal government's 1996 ban on the use of federal funds to study gun violence, which has obstructed research efforts across the nation, including at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health. Governor Phil Murphy said, “Despite having some the toughest gun laws in the nation, New Jersey has suffered from roughly 80 percent of our gun crimes being committed with a gun trafficked across our borders. We’re losing young people across our state to the senseless epidemic of gun violence as Congress sits idly by on this issue.

    Education Law Alert February 2019 Ron Desantis Calls to Impanel

    Education Law Alert February 2019 Ron DeSantis Calls to Impanel Grand Jury on School Safety On the eve of the anniversary of the Parkland shooting Governor DeSantis announced that he petitioned the Florida Supreme Court to impanel a statewide grand jury to investigate school districts throughout the state regarding their school safety practices. DeSantis says he made the decision in order to go beyond the scope granted to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission, which was tasked primarily with analyzing the causes of the shooting at that school last year. The Governor stated that in addition to the statewide scope of the grand jury, the panel’s subpoena power will have more teeth compared to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission’s subpoena power.

Ron DeSantis challenged law makers to send him a bill that provides for the creation of taxpayer-funded scholarship for more children to attend private schools. Following the statement, the Governor and his team released their own versions of the bills they hope to see on scholarships, teacher performance pay, graduation requirements, and more. State Rep. Chris Latvala, chairman of House PreK-12 Appropriations and vice chair of House Education, acknowledged the Governor’s prerogative to put forward a budget and conforming bills that would establish new ideas. However, he stated that the Legislature might approve, rewrite, or outright kill the ideas, depending on the will of the majority. Read more here.

    July 14, 2020 File ID: 20-0268 TITLE Resolution of the City Council of the City of Chula Vista Approving a $1.5 Million Small Business Grant Program (Chula Vista CARES) to Reimburse the Costs of Business Interruption Caused by Required Closures due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. RECOMMENDED ACTION Council adopt the resolution. SUMMARY On March 27, 2020, the President signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, more commonly known as the CARES Act, which authorizes $2.1 trillion in federal relief. Included in the CARES Act is the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) that provided $150 billion to states and those local municipalities with populations greater than 500,000 based on a specific formula. Regionally, the County of San Diego received $334 million and the City of San Diego approximately $249 million. Cities and Counties with populations fewer than 500,000, including the City of Chula Vista, did not directly receive CARES Act CRF funding from the federal government. On May 19, 2020 the County Board of Supervisors approved allocation of $25 million in CARES Act CRF monies to 17 cities in San Diego County, not including the City of San Diego. The allocation of this $25 million was determined based on a population formula. Based on the City’s population, the City of Chula Vista received $4,842,695 in CARES Act CRF funds through the County of San Diego. On June 23, 2020, the City Council appropriated $4,842,695 in CARES Act CRF monies to the General Fund. As part of this action, the City Council approved $1.5 million to Economic Development Recovery Grants for Small Businesses to provide economic relief and assist at-risk businesses in rebounding from the economic impacts of COVID-19.

    GOVERNORS The National Mood and the Seats in Play: Understanding the 2016 Gubernatorial Elections By Jennifer M.

Republicans already held 31 governor- ships to the Democrats’ 18—Alaska Gov. Bill Walker is an Independent—and with about half the gubernatorial elections considered competitive, Republicans had the potential to increase their control to 36 governors’ mansions. For their part, Democrats had a realistic chance to convert only a couple of Republican governorships to their party. Given the party’s win-loss potential, Republicans were optimistic, in a good position.
