This number was up slightly from 98 in 2018. While the Council struggled to be as supportive and bi-partisan as possible, it was a challenge this year. The SWCLC adopted SUPPORT positions on 47 bills while OPPOSING 63. Of those 110, 34 were among the 900+ finalists making it to the Governor’s desk, 11 which we SUPPORTED and 23 we OPPOSED. The rest of the measures simply died in committee or were amended beyond recognition and dropped from consideration. Most compilations, including SWCLC, only consider the final floor vote when determining the vote record. Many bills are amended as they make their way through the process, some as many as ten times. These amendments are often in response to concerns of other legislators acting on the bill in committee, but may also be in response to pressure exerted on the author by various advocacy groups such as the SWCLC. Many of the failed bills will return in modified form next session including a series of proposals that would have seen new taxes applied to items as diverse as tires and manure, inheritance/estate tax, a fee on batteries, a tax on drinking water, sugared beverages, food items, prescriptions, alcoholic beverages, more pot tax (or less), and your services, to name a few. The SWCLC recognizes it is unrealistic to expect our legislators to vote in accord with the Council on every issue. Sometimes their vote reflects the fact that they have other constituencies with equally compelling but opposing arguments on an issue. In 2019 Senator Morrell voted in accord with the Council 100% while Senators Stone and Jones were in accord 97% of the time, differing on just a single vote – SB 313 (Hueso), the Circus Prohibition bill. Assembly Member Melendez was also in accord 97% of the time and Assembly member Waldron 94%, differing on two bills. Far from moving the legislature toward the ideological center, as was the stated goal of the top-two primary system adopted in 2010, this session witnessed by far the most partisan divide yet according to summaries published by the SWCLC, CalChamber and the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. While our Republican lawmakers garnered ‘A’ grades or 90+ percentile scores, our Democratic legislators dropped to ‘D’ and ‘F’ scores in the 30% range. Last year Senator Roth and Assembly Member Cervantes ranked in the 50th percentile but this session joined perennial basement dweller Assembly Member Medina at 37% on bills beneficial to small businesses, healthcare, property rights and public safety. Exacerbating this spread, Governor Newsom only voted in accord on 32% of the issues. Abandoning the often pragmatic, moderately prudent fiscal course of his predecessor, this Governor posted by far the lowest accord vote record of any Governor in the 14 year history of the SWCLC. By contrast, Governor Brown’s record averaged 57% with some years above 62%. Even Governor Schwarzenegger, no paragon of conservatism, averaged 49%. The Southwest California Legislative Council is an advocacy coalition of the Temecula Valley, Murrieta/Wildomar, Lake Elsinore Valley, and Menifee Valley Chambers of Commerce. The Council will meet the 3rd Monday of each month starting in January 2020 at: 26529 Jefferson Avenue, Murrieta. Council meetings are open to all Chamber members and often feature topical speakers. This year’s speakers included Congressman Ken Calvert, Sheriff Chad Bianco, Senator Jeff Stone, Assembly Members Melissa Melendez and Marie Waldron, Southwest Healthcare CEO Brad Neet, and others. If you have a legislative issue that may impact you or your industry segment, please submit a summary of your concern to your Chamber for possible inclusion in a future agenda.

Our report card is designed to help Californians gauge how their state representatives are actually performing on taxpayer-related issues, including but not limited to tax increases and direct attacks on Proposition 13. This year, we changed our scoring system slightly to remove policy committee votes so that only floor votes are considered. This allows all legislators to vote on a bill at the same time and removes the potential risk of grade inflation. Abstention votes on legislation count as half credit. For the first time, a Democrat — AssemblywomanCottie Petrie-Norris (Laguna Beach) — received a perfect 100 percent. Fourteen other legislators also received perfect scores: Assembly Members Bill Brough, Vince Fong, Tom Lackey, Devon Mathis, Melissa Melendez, Jay Obernolte and Randy Voepel, and State Senators Patricia Bates, Ling Ling Chang, Senate Republican Leader Shannon Grove, Brian Jones, Mike Morrell, Jeff Stone and Scott Wilk. The 2019 scores stem from nine bills. For more information about our methodology and scoring system, go to www.hjta.org, or e-mail Legislative Director David Wolfe at [email protected].
