Paul Preface California Policy Options, published since 1997, has informed researchers and journalists, as well as leaders and lawmakers, with a timely collection of research and public policy recommendations on issues and opportunities in the state. The annual publication advances research-based solutions for California’s many, multi-faceted urban and regional challenges. The chapters in this publication highlight a wide variety of statewide issues and those that affect cities, local communities and individuals. This year’s collection again looks at California’s budget situation and its leadership, regional issues such as transportation in Los Angeles and water quality, energy and other technology including infrastructure for charging stations for electric vehicles and mass electronic surveillance. UCLA Professor Daniel J.B. Mitchell has again brought together a timely collection of California- focused articles that add to a long list of important readings not only for policy and law makers but, for Luskin undergraduate students enrolled in the School’s popular California Policy Issues course which has been co-taught by Prof. Mitchell and Visiting Professor Michael Dukakis for more than 20 years. This edition, California Policy Options 2019, continues a long-established tradition of providing analysis of the state’s public policy problems from a variety of viewpoints as well as their political, economic and historic contexts. Gary Segura Dean, UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs 2 Introduction The 2019 edition of California Policy Options deals with infrastructure, green technology, urban and regional economics, state economics and finance, and issues related to privacy and law enforcement. Chapter 1 by Daniel J.B. Mitchell ("The Conflict Diamonds of Adriana Gianturco") explains a local Los Angeles anomaly: Why there is no diamond lane (carpool lane) on the Santa Monica Freeway. The answer goes back to the 1970s before a lesson was painfully learned. Driver/commuters will strongly resist the taking away of a lane for carpool use, although they won’t resist the adding of a new lane for carpooling. Water supply has always been a contentious issue in California. But in Chapter 2 ("LA TAP: Evaluating the Customer Experience of Tap Water in Los Angeles"), Virdiana Auger-Velez, Rachel LaCoe, Caleb Rabinowitz, and Bei Zhao remind us that in the end, water is a commodity delivered for a price to customers of local agencies. Ultimately, just as in any retail transaction, sellers, they point out, should be concerned about consumer tastes and perceptions. The process of electricity supply has both traditional infrastructure properties and, increasingly, embedded “green” or environmental issues. Retail consumers may well have concerns about the sources of their power and their environmental implications as well as an obvious concern about price. In Chapter 3, JR DeShazo, Julien Gattaciecca, and Kelly Trumbull ("The Promises and Challenges of Community Choice Aggregation in California") point to a new system of retail distribution of power in California which substitutes for tradition privately-owned commercial utilities. The new system of community choice aggregation can offer green power sources and lower prices in some circumstances. But the details of the external regulatory and legal framework will be important in the development of the alternative system. Electrical supply has another potential “green” element when used to power automobiles. However, for electric cars to become attractive, infrastructure for charging the vehicles must become sufficiently ubiquitous. In Chapter 4, Sarah Burtner, Gina Charusombat, Tiffany Chu, and Yuharu Nagiri ("Charge It! Investing in Public Charging Infrastructure in Southern California") examine the availability of charging stations in LA County and suggest priorities that need to be adopted for increasing their availability. The authors find that certain areas in the county should be targeted for increased availability to make electric car travel more attractive. We tend to think of urban and regional economics as an inherently local topic. But as William Yu points out in Chapter 5 ("How Important is International Trade to Los Angeles?"), the Los Angeles area has significant infrastructure and logistical support activities connected to international trade through its port and airport facilities. Thus, the LA economy is more 1 3 sensitive to trends in international commerce than the US as a whole. LA, therefore, would be more vulnerable to economic injury should there be a trade war with China or other countries. In Chapter 6, Paul Ong, Andre Comandon, Alycia Cheng, and Sylvia González examine the economic development of South Los Angeles ("South LA Since the Sixties"), an area noted for being the location of the Watts Riot of the mid-1960s and the LA Riot of the early 1990s. The authors examine developments in employment and earnings, housing, transportation, and education and find improvements by some measures but difficulties by others. Job opportunities and affordable housing in particular show adverse trends. Although the urban riots of the 1960s and 1990s remain significant historical markers, the most recent notable economic event was the financial collapse and recession of 2008. In Chapter 7, Kenya Covington, Annia Yoshizumi, Jesus “Chuy” Flores, and Allan Nguyen (“Mixed Evidence of Local Neighborhood Stabilization: Lessons from the East Bay and South Los Angeles”) look at a federal effort to “stabilize” South LA and East Bay in the wake of the financial collapse. Defaults on mortgages and abandoned housing threatened the local economies and residents. The federal Neighborhood Stabilization effort did seem to have some positive effect on measured poverty. But other indicators of program success were more ambiguous. Further research on the effects of such policies seems to be required. One of the key determinants of the condition of the California state budget is the general state of the economy. Growth brings in more tax revenue. Recession cuts revenue, particularly because of the heavy dependence of state revenue on the fates of top income earners. In Chapter 8, Daniel J.B. Mitchell ("The Handover Budget of 2018-19: The Fiscal Legacy of Jerry Brown") notes that outgoing Governor Jerry Brown, in fashioning his final budget (for fiscal year 2018-19) leaves office with a public sense that he brought fiscal stability to the state. However, other aspects of his potential legacy, notably a high-speed rail line and a major water project, may never be completed under the next governor. Exactly what his successor, Gavin Newsom, will do about those projects and whether he will emphasize Brown’s fiscal prudence remains to be seen. As for the near-term state of the economy during the 2018-19 fiscal year and beyond, in Chapter 9 Robert Kleinhenz (“California Forecast: OK for Now But Housing Costs Remain an Issue”) finds that the California economy remains strong. But ongoing structural issues remain, notably new housing construction running at a pace insufficient to address the affordability issue. And the affordability issue in turn tends to retard labor force growth which leads to slower overall economic growth. Finally, in Chapter 10, Stan Paul (“Records of Investigations vs. Bulk Data Collection: Automatic License Plate Readers and the California Public Records Act”) explores the tension between law enforcement needs and the right to privacy in the case of a technology that makes possible the bulk scanning of vehicle license plates.

  • HP Annual Report
    Meg Whitman President and CEO Dear Stockholders, Fiscal 2012 was the first year in a multi-year journey to turn HP around. We diagnosed the problems facing the company, laid the foundation to fix them, and put in place a plan to restore HP to growth. We know where we need to go, and we are starting to make progress. The Year in Review In the first year of our turnaround effort, we provided a frank assessment of the challenges facing HP, laid out clear strategies at all levels of the corporation, and mapped out our journey to restore HP’s financial performance. Most importantly, we did what we said we would do in fiscal 2012 – we began taking action to bring costs in line with the revenue trajectory of the business and met our full-year non-GAAP earnings per share outlook. We have just completed year one of our journey, and we are already seeing tangible proof that the steps we have taken are working. This includes generating $10.6 billion in cash flow from operations for fiscal $10.6B 2012. HP used that cash to make significant progress in rebuilding our balance sheet – reducing our in cash flow from net debt by $5.6 billion during the year – and returned $2.6 billion to stockholders in the form of share operations for repurchases and dividends. fiscal 2012 Our efforts in fiscal 2012 also included beginning to tackle the structural and execution issues we identified, and building the foundation we need to improve our performance in the face of dynamic market trends and macroeconomic challenges.

  • 28 February 2017 Meg Whitman, Chief Executive Officer Hewlett
    28 February 2017 Meg Whitman, Chief Executive Officer Hewlett Packard Enterprise 3000 Hanover St. Palo Alto, CA 94304 [email protected], [email protected] Dear CEO Meg Whitman, We are a coalition of more than 350 organizations around the United States working in pursuit of freedom, justice, and equality from the U.S. to Palestine/Israel, and beyond. We work in close partnership with many Palestinians, Israelis, Americans, and organizations in dozens of countries across six continents. We are part of a large and growing international network of human rights organizations beginning a systematic campaign of boycotts and divestment targeting HP companies due to your complicity in enabling Israel’s grave violations of international law and Palestinian human rights. We write with strong concern over the role that Hewlett-Packard Co. and, to our knowledge, its successors Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. have played in these violations, as well as potential legal concerns. Israel’s regime is characterized by systematic and widespread denial of basic rights and freedoms based on ethnicity and religion through racial profiling, institutionalized racial discrimination and segregation, forcible transfer of populations, mass incarceration, torture, and state violence.1 2 3 Many of the Trump policies against which U.S. liberal and progressive communities are fighting today are interconnected with parallel Israeli policies of building walls and banning refugees -- a shared oppressive agenda evidenced by Trump’s close and mutually enthusiastic alliance with the Israeli government. We are impressed by your stated commitment to corporate social responsibility but troubled that you would contravene your own policy by continuing to support and profit from the violations of Palestinian human rights and international law.

While it is not possible to predict how much money will be spent between now and November 2, it may be useful to compare the levels of spending in this year’s primary campaign with that of previous election cycles. In this report, “Breaking the Bank,” staff of the Fair Political Practices Commission determined the spending of each candidate in every California gubernatorial primary since 1978 and calculated the actual spending per vote cast—in 2010 dollars—as candidates sought their party’s nomination. The conclusion: over time, gubernatorial primary elections have become more costly and fewer people turnout at the polls. But that only scratches the surface of what has happened since 19781. Other highlights of the report include: Since 1998, the rise of the self-funded candidate has dramatically increased the cost of running for governor in California.
