  • April 20, 2021 the Honorable Assembly Member
    April 20, 2021 The Honorable Assembly Member Jordan Cunningham California State Assembly State Capitol, Suite #4012 Sacramento, CA 94249 Re: COVID-19 Assistance for Publicly Owned Water and Electric Customers Dear Assembly Member Cunningham: On behalf of City of Lompoc, we strongly urge the Legislature to allocate additional and dedicated funding in the amount of at least $1 billion for past-due public water/wastewater agency and publicly owned electric utility bills, which will provide significant relief for Californians as the state continues to grapple with the economic and personal effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In California, there is a staggering amount of past due utility bills. As of November 2020, the State Water Resources Control Board estimated there is between $600 and $700 million in drinking water-related debt, and even more when including wastewater bills. In addition, there is more than $300 million in unpaid bills to publicly owned electric utilities. These mounting arrearages are negatively impacting communities across the state, and they are continuing to grow. The City of Lompoc has been significantly affected both in overall revenue loss and past due utility bills. We currently have $4,970,636 in past due utility accounts. In order to maintain operations, we have issued a moratorium on shutoffs for non-payment, and have also suspended late charges. There have been several efforts to date to provide utility bill relief to customers, including some funding from federal stimulus bills, but unfortunately these amounts continue to fall short of the overall need for utility debt. Further assistance is needed to help customers with their past-due water, wastewater and electric utility bills.

    January 25, 2021 Honorable Anthony Rendon Honorable Toni G. Atkins Speaker of the Assembly President pro Tempore of the Senate State Capitol, Room 219 State Capitol, Room 205 Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Speaker Rendon and President Pro Tem Atkins, We respectfully request that the Legislature convene a joint, bi-partisan committee to hold oversight hearings regarding the Newsom Administration’s unwillingness to share COVID-19 data with the public. To regain the public’s trust, it is crucial that we share data with the public, including the formulas and calculations that are being used to guide the Governor’s decisions related to responding to the pandemic. This information is critical to understanding the reasons behind the abysmal vaccine rollout, as well as the seemingly-random issuance of stay-at-home orders and business closures. It is important to hold the Administration accountable when so many lives are at stake. During the Governor’s recent stay-at-home order, his Administration has yet to share the data relied upon to lift the order in the Greater Sacramento region, or information in the recent statewide lift, despite the fact that ICU capacity in some regions is far below the 15% threshold he established when he imposed the order. This has confused communities, counties and businesses, leaving them unprepared to take immediate action. The Administration’s justification that the data and modeling are too complicated is both inadequate and quite frankly, insulting. The public has the right to know what is behind his decision-making process. Specifically we believe the public has a right to the following information: Data, metrics, calculations, and formulas being used to make decisions regarding stay-at- home orders and vaccine distribution.

  • February 10, 2021 to Members of the Coachella City Council: The
    February 10, 2021 To Members of the Coachella City Council: The proposed city ordinance mandating that farmers and other agricultural employers provide an additional four dollars per hour to their employees would harm many long-standing family farms, field workers and other employees whose livelihoods are invested in those farms, and the post- pandemic economic recovery of the region. Labor is by far the highest cost for California family farms. California’s minimum wage at $14 per hour is highest of any state in the U.S. Adding on top of that regulatory compliance costs and agricultural overtime laws, California farmers already face the highest wage structure in the nation. Consequently, producers in other states and countries routinely undercut our growers on price, a condition that has only become more acute with the additional costs our farmers have absorbed to protect their employees during the pandemic. Farmers are price takers, not price setters. Their customers are grocery and restaurant produce buyers who are under enormous pressure to secure fresh produce at the lowest cost possible, and they have many options in most fresh produce items, including those grown in the Coachella Valley. This council can mandate higher wages be paid to farm employees, but it cannot mandate that the grocery and restaurant buyers will accept that additional cost and pass it along to consumers. In fact, we know they won’t. They will look elsewhere for fresh bell peppers, lettuce, cabbage, table grapes, dates, citrus and other Coachella-grown produce. Farmers in Mexico will likely be the only beneficiaries of this mandate.

  • 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.
