It was on that date that the campus and the world learned that two distinguished members of the faculty had been awarded Nobel Prizes. If it was not the start of a new year, it was perhaps the start of a new era. The news was electric; it almost instantly brought a new mood and atmosphere to the campus. “Prizes Under- score UC Santa Barbara’s Quality” was the headline on a Los Angeles Times report that captured an essential truth. “The popular image of UC Santa Barbara is that of a party school. … But a lesser- known reality is emerging: Behind the doors of the physics and chemistry labs, world-renowned scientists are conducting ground- breaking research.” That truth was well known to Alan J. Heeger, who shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry. “What has happened here in the last 20 years is remarkable,” he said at a campus press confer- ence a few hours after the news broke. “It’s not an accident that there are two Nobel Prizes here today.” For both Heeger and Herbert Kroemer, who shared the Nobel Prize in physics, the attention was With the Santa Ynez Mountains as backdrop, the campus occupies 989 acres at the edge of the Pacific. dizzying.

  • California Indian Tribes Political Contributions Since 2000
    $212 Million in Tribal Political Spending Shapes Policy Outcomes in California Since 1998, tribes have spent more $100,000,000 than $212 million $90,000,000 on politics in $80,000,000 California.1 $70,000,000 $60,000,000 Limiting $50,000,000 competition and $40,000,000 protecting industry $30,000,000 privileges are the $20,000,000 top focus of tribal $10,000,000 spending. Since $0 gaining a 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 monopoly on lucrative Las Vegas-style Figure 1 Total Tribal Spending in CA casinos in the late 1990s, Indian tribes have quickly become the top-ranked political spenders in California.2 While Congress mulls lobbying reforms following an estimated $26 million in total federal political expenditures by tribes, there is no sign that tribal political spending in California will abate. Tribes spent more than $56 million in 1998 and again more than $86 million in 2004 on ballot propositions seeking to persuade voters to protect and expand their gaming monopoly. Starting with the gubernatorial recall in 2003 and continuing through bruising statewide ballot propositions in 2004, tribal political spending mushroomed to $107 million in the two year period. During the calendar year that included the recall, tribes spent $19 million directly on the recall and on elected officials. According to the San Diego Union Tribune, $8 million of that total went to Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, who lost to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Three quarters of all tribal political contributions historically occur in the last half of the year. In addition to costly ballot fights, California Tribes gave more than $23 million directly to state elected officials, who play a critical role in limiting tribes’ competition by controlling the ratification of new gaming compacts and shaping industry policy.

  • A Recall Effort Over the State's COVID-19 Response Means An
    USApp – American Politics and Policy Blog: A recall effort over the state’s COVID-19 response means an uncertain future for California Governor Gavin Page 1 of 3 Newsom. A recall effort over the state’s COVID-19 response means an uncertain future for California Governor Gavin Newsom. Much of the response to COVID-19 in America in the past year has been led by state governments. In California, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is now facing an effort to remove him from office fueled by perceptions that his administration has mishandled its pandemic response. Jeff Cummins writes that while poor crisis management also drove a successful 2003 recall effort which saw Arnold Schwarzenegger replace Democrat Gray Davis, Newsom’s greater popularity and the nearness of the next gubernatorial election are important factors in the current Governor’s favor. California is on the verge of facing its second recall election of a governor in its 170-year history as a state. The recall allows voters to remove elected officials in between regularly scheduled elections. Unlike impeachment, where elected officials decide whether to remove an appointed or an elected official, in a recall, voters decide two questions: (1) whether to retain the incumbent; and (2) who will replace the incumbent if removed. Currently, a campaign in California seeking to gather voter signatures to trigger a recall election later this year is at or above the signature threshold required to qualify the petition for the ballot. If recall proponents submit about 1.5 million valid signatures, then incumbent Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom would become the second governor in California in the last 20 years, and just the fourth in US history, to confront a recall.

  • 2003 California Gubernatorial Recall
    THE 2003 CALIFORNIA GUBERNATORIAL RECALL FLOYD FEENEYt California is one of eighteen American states that authorize the recall of statewide officers,1 and one of the approximately thirty-six states that authorize the recall of local elected officials. 2 Although a few states purport to authorize the recall of members of Congress, 3 the t Floyd Feeney is the Homer and Ann Berryhill Angelo Professor of Law at the University of California, Davis School of Law. He would like to express his appreciation to the editors and staff of the Creighton Law Review, and particularly to Sara Gude, for their very helpful assistance with this article. Parts of this article were presented in 2003 at a workshop sponsored by California State University, Sacramento, the host for the second recall debate and at the Eighth International Conference on Elections spon- sored by the Italian Society for the Study of Elections (SISE). The author would like to thank California State University, Sacramento, the Italian Society (SISE), Mario Caciagli, Tim Hodson, Tony Miller, and Pier Vincenzo Uleri for their valuable contribu- tions to the article. The author is solely responsible for the opinions expressed. 1. See app. A. The District of Columbia also authorizes use of the recall. 2. See app. B. In 2006, 60.3% of U.S. cities had recall provisions. This exceeded the percentages for the two other major direct democracy devices-the initiative (57.5%) and the citizen-generated referendum (45.3%). In the five years between 2002 and 2006, recall petitions were filed against a council member in 4.5% of U.S.

  • On Your Behalf … Legislative and Practice Affairs Division What the Election Results Mean for CSA by William E
    On Your Behalf … Legislative and Practice Affairs Division What the Election Results Mean for CSA By William E. Barnaby, Sr., Esq., Legislative Counsel, and William E. Barnaby, Jr., Esq., CSA Legislative Advocate lections are over, we hope, for at least E 18 months. When the polls closed on Tuesday, November 7, it marked the 8th California statewide election over the last five years, amidst virtually nonstop election- eering hoopla. Voter fatigue was evidenced by a near record low turnout. At the same time, California campaign spending hit record heights, more than $650 million, and not all the reports are yet filed. Despite record spending on campaign advertising and high voter interest nationally, registered California voters seemed disinterested, even with a celebrity hero on the ballot. Do incessant and increasingly nasty TV and radio spots, mailboxes stuffed with “hit pieces,” and “robo” telephone calls at dinner- time produce voter cynicism and apathy? Duh!? The next regularly scheduled statewide election will take place on June 3, 2008. That should mean a respite from electioneering for the general public and CSA members, at least for awhile. In political circles, it simply starts a new campaign finance cycle so incumbents and candidates can start fundraising all over again. With the votes counted, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger coasted to an easy re-election, despite Republican registration being just 34 percent of statewide voters. Democrat Phil Angelides ran as the anti-Arnold and simply failed to connect with voters. Even so, Schwarzenegger’s coattails were not strong enough to pull other “down ticket” Republicans to victory. Republican Steve Poizner reportedly spent $11 million of his own money to win the Insurance Commissioner’s post, with only 51 percent of the vote.

    USC Dornsife in the News Archive - 2011 December December 26, 2011 - January 3, 2012 The New York Times featured a Q&A with David Treuer of English, who recently wrote Rez Life, a book about growing up on a reservation in Minnesota. The Washington Post quoted Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics, about Mitt Romney’s ascendance in the field of Republican presidential candidates. Today (Singapore) cited Antonio Damasio, director of USC’s Brain and Creativity Institute, about the neural processes governing empathy and deep thought. Friday, December 23, 2011 Los Angeles Times ran an op-ed by Janet Fitch of the Master of Professional Writing Program reflecting on her mother’s cooking during the holidays. Wired quoted David Bottjer of earth sciences and biological sciences about new research on fossils that may hint at how multi-cellular creatures first came into being. Smithsonian cited research by Kaspar Meyer of psychology, finding that when study subjects were shown silent film clips, the brain regions governing sound would light up. Thursday, December 22, 2011 The New York Times ran an op-ed by David Treuer of English about how American Indian identity has been exploited by both the U.S. government and tribal people themselves at various times in history. Racial mixing has led to complications in tribal identification as well as knowing who should receive reservation benefits, Treuer wrote. Ultimately, tribes need to use metrics beyond bloodlines to identify members. "Having survived this long and come this far, we must think harder about who we want to be in the future, and do something more than just measure out our teaspoons of blood," he wrote.
