  • 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).

    1 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2016 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies -- from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more -- that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon and its affiliates during the period January – June 2016. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.

Silliman Executive Vice President, Public Policy and General Counsel 2 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2016 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Democratic Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? setting of monetary contribution limitations and the The Verizon Good Government Clubs (GGCs) exist to help the establishment of periodic reporting requirements.

  • Money and Power in the City of Angels Money and Power in the City of Angels
    Money and Power in the City of Angels Money and Power in the City of Angels Twenty years have passed since voters modifi ed Los Angeles’ campaign fi nance laws to regulate money in municipal elections. Those reforms successfully reduced candidate dependence on large organizational contributions, but lobbyists and special interests have found ways around those reforms and continue to fl ood the system with contributions and independent expenditures. • Organizations and special interests provide candidates and elected offi cials with unlimited amounts of money by contributing to ballot measure committees that the candidates and offi cials control. Between 2006 and 2009, three Los Angeles municipal offi ce holders raised almost $10 million for such committees, with some contributions as large as $500,000. • Special interest use of independent expenditures has also skyrocketed. In 2009, labor unions spent almost $800,000 or 45% of all independent expenditures in municipal races. Money and Power in the City of Angels recommends four reforms to reduce special interest infl uence and improve disclosure of money fl owing to Los Angeles municipal offi ce holders: • Contributions to candidate controlled ballot measure committees should be limited to the same amount as the contributions to candidate committees. • The Los Angeles City Ethics Commission should disclose candidate controlled ballot measure committee contribution and expenditure data in an online spreadsheet format. • Lobbyists should be banned from acting as intermediaries and delivering campaign contributions from their clients to offi ceholders or candidates. • The Ethics Commission should resume issuing reports identifying the top ten lobbyists. cover design: www.smartartanddesign.com cover CGS helps civic organizations, decision-makers and the media to strengthen democracy and improve government processes by providing rigorous research, nonpartisan analysis, strategic Ava Alexandar consulting and innovative media models of public information and civic engagement.
