  • State Issues
    Week of January 14, 2019 State Issues Legislative Analyst This week, the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) released its overview of Governor Newsom’s budget proposal for FY Report on State 2019-20 that was presented last week, and saw a new leader selected to lead this non-partisan organization. The Budget Legislature appointed a new state Legislative Analyst to fill the role Mac Taylor has held for 10 years. They named Gabriel Petek to the post, who most recently worked for Standard and Poor’s Global Ratings San Francisco Office where he is currently the state’s primary credit analyst. He takes the reins on February 4. In addition to getting a new chief, the LAO released its overview of the Governor’s January budget highlighting that that state’s budget position continues to be strong. They also focus on the fact that the Governor’s proposed budget prioritizes the repayments of state debts and a great deal of one-time funding. Nearly half of the discretionary spending is earmarked to pay down state liabilities, including unfunded retirement liabilities and budget debts. Twenty-five (25) percent of the discretionary spending is for one time or temporary funding proposals, and 15 percent for discretionary reserves. The LAO applauds the Governor’s decision to focus on the repayment of state debts. The LAO points out one thing that many took note of – the Governor has outlined many priorities for budgetary spending. And at least some of the proposals are not fully fleshed out or reflected in the budget document. The LAO was not critical of this but pointed out that these un-finalized proposals give the Legislature the opportunity to weigh in with the Administration and have their say in its development.

  • 2014 Environmental Justice Scorecard 2 Championing Solutions to the Environmental Health and Climate Change Issues Facing Working Class Communities of Color
    CEJA’s 2nd Environmental Justice Scorecard The California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) is proud to release our 2nd Environmental Justice Score- card for the 2014 Legislative Session. This scorecard is the only one in the state to assess how well California’s elected officials supported actions to address environmental issues that impact low-income communities and communities of color. Scorecard Methodology and Scoring We selected bills that CEJA as a coalition or our members publicly supported or opposed. We chose bills that were significant: they would either make important contributions to addressing environmental justice, or would enact policies detrimental to communities of color. In total, CEJA scored 13 bills. Senators were scored on a total of 11 bills and Assemblymembers on a total of 12 bills. Of the ten bills that made it to the Governor’s desk, he signed eight of them. Unfortunately, due to rule restrictions, Senate pro Tem De León was unable to cast his vote on a couple of measures included in our scorecard because he was engaged in helping to move other important measures on the Assembly floor, thus impacting his score. However, none of these bills were close votes and in both instances he had previously voted for the bills in committee. We believe his score would have been different if the Senate Rules had similar rules as the Assembly on such matters. About the California Environmental Justice Alliance The California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) is a statewide coalition of grassroots, environmental jus- tice organizations. We are working to achieve environmental justice by organizing in low-income communities and communities of color – those most impacted by environmental hazards – and by pushing for policies at the federal, state, regional and local levels that protect public health and the environment.

  • July 19, 2021 the Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State Of
    July 19, 2021 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol, First Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Senate Bill 11 (Rubio) – REQUEST FOR SIGNATURE Dear Governor Newsom: On behalf of the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC), I respectfully request your signature on Senate Bill 11. SB 11, authored by Senator Susan Rubio, would remove certain barriers to enable homes and structures used to conduct business on farmland to be covered through the California Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR) Plan. RCRC is an association of thirty-seven rural California counties, and the RCRC Board of Directors is comprised of elected supervisors from each member county. RCRC member counties have a disproportionate percentage of businesses and residents who have had their residential property insurance nonrenewed due to wildfire risk in the past five years. A large majority of our communities are in high hazard severity zones and have seen both dramatic premium increases and drastic spikes in non- renewals. While many rural residents and business owners understand that higher costs for coverage will be the new standard under higher wildfire threats, many of them have had to resort to the FAIR Plan for fire insurance coverage as a last resort. In recent months, non-renewals of commercial businesses, including farm properties, have become more common, with owners having to resort to the FAIR Plan for fire insurance. Currently, establishing law does not technically allow for farm properties to be insured under the FAIR Plan because of how the statute is written. SB 11 would make a slight technical change to statute which would allow for the structures on farmlands to be covered under the FAIR Plan, while clarifying that the coverage does not extend to any agricultural crop risks.

  • 2019 Small Business Scorecard
    2019 SMALL BUSINESS SCORECARD Introduction Elected officials everywhere tout their support of small businesses, but do they actually deliver? California is home to 4 million small and micro businesses, represented by 79 Assembly Members and 40 California State Senators. We decided to find out by looking at the voting records of California’s legislators when it comes to bills that affect the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the small businesses that it serves. CAMEO’s policy positions derive from our work with our 240+ members that support underserved small business with loans and entrepreneurial training. We weigh in on legislation that will help these small and microbusinesses and strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This first-ever scorecard for the 2019 legislative session looks at how the California Legislature performed in authoring, voting, and passing laws to promote and protect the interests of Calfiornia’s small and micro business owners. We compiled a narrow list of bills for the 2019 legislative session that we identified as important for micro and small businesses and/or the ecosystem that supports them. C A M E O N E T W O R K . O R G Examples include: AB 230 ensures Disabled Veterans Businesses are treated fairly in state contracts; AB 377 expands the cottage kitchen laws to include home cooked meals; AB 498 eliminates business license fees for veteran owned businesses; AB 857 will create a framework for public banking in California and expand community capital for locally owned businesses. We included committee votes, floor votes, authorships, co-sponsors and measured if a legislator voted in favor or against, as well as the No Vote Record (NVR).
