  • California State Assembly
    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.

  • Newly Elected Signal Hill Councilmember Endorses Lena Gonzalez for State Senate
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 11, 2019 Contact: Sergio Carrillo (310) 748-6495 [email protected] NEWLY ELECTED SIGNAL HILL COUNCILMEMBER ENDORSES LENA GONZALEZ FOR STATE SENATE LONG BEACH, CA - Continuing to amass endorsements from local elected officials, Long ​ Beach City Councilwoman Lena Gonzalez announced today that she has received the endorsement of newly elected Signal Hill Councilmember, Keir Jones. Jones' passion for public service and community involvement dates back to his early college years but was awaken during California’s battle over Proposition 8 which banned LGBTQ marriages in California. Jones was elected to the Signal Hill City Council in the March 5th, 2019 Municipal Election. He is the first non-incumbent to be the highest vote-getter in over 20 years. He has served as the City Clerk for the past two years where he has helped to ensure Signal Hill saw its largest voter turnouts in decades with nearly 60% of residents voting in November 2018. He has also led efforts to align Signal Hill elections with the California Primaries to ensure every voter has an opportunity to make their voice heard. "I am excited to give my first endorsement as Councilmember-Elect to Councilwoman Lena Gonzalez for State Senate," said Councilmember-Elect Keir Jones. "She is the right person ​ ​ to represent the people of Signal Hill in the State Senate. Her advocacy and leadership on policies that support working people, increase access to green space and protect small businesses is needed in Sacramento. As someone who knows the impact of a close election, having lost my first try for City Council by one vote, I encourage everyone to pay attention to this race and send Lena Gonzalez to the State Senate on March 26th,” he continued.

  • 2019 Small Business Scorecard
    2019 SMALL BUSINESS SCORECARD Introduction Elected officials everywhere tout their support of small businesses, but do they actually deliver? California is home to 4 million small and micro businesses, represented by 79 Assembly Members and 40 California State Senators. We decided to find out by looking at the voting records of California’s legislators when it comes to bills that affect the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the small businesses that it serves. CAMEO’s policy positions derive from our work with our 240+ members that support underserved small business with loans and entrepreneurial training. We weigh in on legislation that will help these small and microbusinesses and strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This first-ever scorecard for the 2019 legislative session looks at how the California Legislature performed in authoring, voting, and passing laws to promote and protect the interests of Calfiornia’s small and micro business owners. We compiled a narrow list of bills for the 2019 legislative session that we identified as important for micro and small businesses and/or the ecosystem that supports them. C A M E O N E T W O R K . O R G Examples include: AB 230 ensures Disabled Veterans Businesses are treated fairly in state contracts; AB 377 expands the cottage kitchen laws to include home cooked meals; AB 498 eliminates business license fees for veteran owned businesses; AB 857 will create a framework for public banking in California and expand community capital for locally owned businesses. We included committee votes, floor votes, authorships, co-sponsors and measured if a legislator voted in favor or against, as well as the No Vote Record (NVR).

  • Calpers Secret Lending Bill Fails Under Scrutiny by Senators
    RETIRED PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’ ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA 300 T Street, Sacramento, California, 95811-6912 (916) 441-7732 Fax: (916) 441-7413 (800) 443-7732 www.rpea.com [email protected] Facebook www.facebook.com/RPEACalifornia FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: David Soares (831) 419-4415 [email protected] CalPERS Secret Lending Bill Fails Under Scrutiny by Senators SACRAMENTO, CA -- July 16, 2021 -- The California State Senate Standing Committee on Judiciary has declined to move forward with AB 386, CalPERS attempt to revive their disgraced former Chief Investment Officer's failed 2020 attempt to remove "Private Lending" from the California Public Records Act. Only three of the committee's 11 members voted to move forward with the bill after the author and a CalPERS representative were unable to respond to Senator John Laird's (SD-17) straightforward questioning about CalPERS Board oversight of the proposed lending program. The bill had already struggled in the Senate, after Senate Standing Committee on Labor Public Employment and Retirement chair Senator Dave Cortese (SD-15), joined by Senators Laird and Josh Newman (SD-29), had required that CalPERS accept amendments originally suggested by the Retired Public Employees Association requiring disclosure of the constituent ownership of any borrower and the collateral pledged to secure any loan of public funds. The proposed secret lending program ran into further trouble when CalPERS staff were forced to admit that the program, rather than providing financing to help struggling businesses, was in fact intended to secretly funnel low-interest financing to private equity firms to whom CalPERS already pays hundreds of millions of dollars in fees and profit sharing each year - the same private equity firms with whom CalPERS had covered-up their ex-CIO's serious conflicts of interest, still under investigation by the state Fair Political Practices Commission.

  • E2: Clean Jobs California 2021
    AUGUST 2021 WWW.E2.ORG @E2ORG #CLEANJOBSCA CLEAN JOBS CALIFORNIA 2021 RESILIENT: AMERICA’S CLEAN ECONOMY POWERHOUSE IN THE WAKE OF COVID-19 © Dennis Schroeder/NREL © Dennis Schroeder/NREL © Dennis Schroeder/NREL © istock Methodology The analysis is based on employment data collected and analyzed by the BW Research Partnership for the 2021 U.S. Energy and Employment Report (USEER). The USEER analyzes data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) to track employment across many energy production, transmission, and distribution subsectors. In addition, the 2021 USEER relies on a unique supplemental survey of 30,000 business representatives across the United States. Created and conducted by BW Research with a methodology that has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), this survey is used to identify energy-related employment within key subsectors of the broader industries as classified by the BLS and to assign them into their component energy and energy efficiency sectors. About This Report This is the fourth annual Clean Jobs California report produced by E2 based on analysis of the USEER, which was first released by the DOE in 2016. E2 was an original proponent of the DOE producing the USEER and was a partner on the reports produced by the Energy Futures Initiative (EFI) and National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) after the Trump administration abandoned it in 2017. For additional insight into E2’s Clean Jobs California or our other annual clean energy economic reports, visit e2.org/reports.
