But to get in the saddle — that was another thing. K Then his children last year bought him a horse. Now Mallory is over his fear of horses and enjoys riding and caring for his horse. “It’s like a horse is a really big dog,” he said, ex- plaining the horse’s playful nature. “I just think it’s really cool.” Mallory doesn’t back off from a challenge.

  • Governor Gavin Newsom Announces Members of the Future of Work Commission
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Governor's Press Office Friday, August 30, 2019 (916) 445-4571 Governor Gavin Newsom Announces Members of the Future of Work Commission SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today announced members of his Future of Work Commission, which include prominent leaders from technology, labor, business, education and other sectors across the state. The Commission will be co-chaired by James Manyika, chairman and director of the McKinsey Global Institute, and Mary Kay Henry, president of the Service Employees International Union, and will be guided by senior members of the Governor’s team, including Secretary of the Labor and Workforce Development Agency Julie Su, Chief Economic and Business Advisor Lenny Mendonca, and Senior Policy Advisor Lande Ajose. The Commission will be tasked with making recommendations to help California leaders think through how to create inclusive, long-term economic growth and ensure workers and their families share in that success. “The economy right now isn’t working for workers,” said Governor Newsom. “While our state is ground zero for the technological and economic transformations that are shaping the future of work, Californians are facing a crisis of opportunity and affordability. We must do the planning required to ensure that we educate and train workers for the jobs of the future, and that these jobs create pathways for economic mobility and the reduction of economic inequality in our state.” The executive order establishing the Commission states, “The Future of Work Commission’s

    Quarterly Programming Report Apr-June 2011 KPCC / KPCV / KUOR Date Key Synopsis Guest/Reporter Duration The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 2-1 at yesterday’s season opener and it was obviously cause for fans to celebrate. But when a Giants fan was assaulted in the parking lot following the game, the victory was marred by the violence of the attack. Today the man is hospitalized in critical condition and questions about the conduct of Dodgers fans linger. What can be done when the competitive atmosphere of team sports crosses the line between avid fandom and physical attacks on fans of the opposing team? Under what circumstances does revelry turn to violence? What can be done to control 4/1/11 SPOR the behavior of fans, many of whom are inebriated? Bill Plaschke 24:00 California budget talks have broken down and sparked a war of words between Governor Jerry Brown and republican lawmakers. Senate GOP leader, Bob Dutton of Rancho Cucamonga, claims Brown aids yelled at him during negotiations, prompting Brown’s spokesman to call Dutton “erratic” and irrelevant.” In this contentious climate Jerry Brown decided to release a new list of pension reforms, an issue that was a republican sticking point during budget talks. Republican lawmakers had been saying they wouldn’t consider Governor Brown’s proposal to put tax extensions before voters, unless he agreed to considerable pension reforms…but now the Governor has his own and he’s hitting the road to sell them to Californians. We’ll 4/1/11 ECON take a look at the governor’s pension proposals and compare and contrast them with what Republicans wanted.

  • California's Plans for the Future of Work, Workers, and a Renewed
    California’s Plans for the Future of Work, Workers, and a Renewed Social Compact Hosted by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program March 3, 2021 Description California, it’s often been quipped, is where the future happens first. From technology and entertainment to policy and social reform, California is often at the leading edge of our latest trends— and work is no exception. While California boasts a strong economy by many measures of growth, too many Californians have not enjoyed the benefits of the state’s broader economic success and the extraordinary wealth generated. As the nation grapples with demographic and geographic economic inequities that have been growing over the first two decades of the 21st century, and that have been exacerbated in this time of national crisis, what does the Golden State plan to do so that workers of every race, ethnicity, geography and gender have what they need to support themselves and their families, and thrive now and in the future? Established prior to the COVID crisis, California’s Future of Work Commission has been tasked with confronting this question. It aims to create a new social compact for California workers, based on an expansive vision for economic equity that takes work and jobs as the starting point. As we’ve seen in the economic fallout of COVID-19, our policies, practices, and institutions are badly in need of an upgrade. The decisions we make now—on job quality, equity, wages, working conditions, advancement, and more—will chart the course of opportunity for generations of Californians to come, and for our nation as a whole.
