  • Kamala [email protected]
    Senator Kamala Harris United Sates Senate 112 Hart Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Email: [email protected] August 4, 2020 Dear Senator Harris, On behalf of the City of Albany, I urge you to support $500 billion in direct and flexible federal assistance to local governments of all sizes to sustain core services for our residents and to support public health and economic recovery in our communities. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted municipal budgets across the country in ways that local governments could not have foreseen. Serving on the front lines of fighting this pandemic, Albany has stepped up by enacting emergency orders, protecting residents, supporting vulnerable populations, and helping our crucial small businesses stay afloat. These actions have saved lives, but they have come at a cost. This unprecedented and multifaceted COVID-19 response, including the shutdown of our local economy, leaves us with a projected 1.7 million dollar budget deficit. This shortfall continues to grow as modified stay-at-home orders have extended into the summer months. At the same time, we have incurred significant unplanned expenditures. Without significant new federal resources to offset expenses and address revenue shortfalls due to COVID-19, cities, who are required to balance their budgets every year, have no choice but to reduce or eliminate critical public services that our residents rely upon and layoff city employees. Fewer first responders to answer emergency calls, reduced frequency of garbage pickups, delayed repairs to streets and sidewalks, delayed inspections and permitting, and limited hours for parks and senior centers are just a few of the core services under threat.

  • January 6, 2021 the Honorable Cecilia Aguiar-Curry California
    January 6, 2021 The Honorable Cecilia Aguiar-Curry California State Assembly State Capitol, Room 5144 Sacramento, California 95814 Re: AB 14 (Aguiar-Curry) – Communications: broadband services: California Advanced Services Fund. Support – As Introduced December 7, 2020 Dear Assembly Member Aguiar-Curry: On behalf of the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), representing all 58 counties in the state, I am pleased to support your AB 14, related to broadband and the infrastructure subsidies needed to deploy it more broadly. Inequitable access to broadband is a longstanding issue, but the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects on students, workers, small businesses, and everyday life has highlighted just how severe and urgent the disparity is. Bringing our infrastructure into the modern era is critical for all communities, whether or not providers consider them profitable. Addressing these issues will undoubtedly require additional resources to be available as soon as possible, so the additional funding AB 14 would authorize—as well as the authority to issue a revenue bond of up to $1 billion—is critically important. Counties also appreciate the explicit authority for Boards of Supervisors to approve the construction and operation of broadband infrastructure and services. For the aforementioned reasons, we support AB 14 and appreciate your efforts on this important issue. We would like to work with you and your co-authors as this bill moves forward to ensure it contains the reforms necessary to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number

    STATE CAPITOL P.O. BOX 942849 SACRAMENTO, CA 94249-0047 (916) 651-4020 FAX (916) 651-4920 July 9, 2020 Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins Ken Cooley, Chair, Assembly Rules Committee Members of the Assembly and Senate Committees on Rules Members of the Joint Committee on Rules State Capitol Sacramento, California 95814 Dear Pro Tempore Atkins and Chair Cooley: Recent weeks have exposed frustration with the celebration of historical figures that governments have honored with official monuments. Much of that frustration has focused on glaring omissions in the historical narratives of these figures. Only select deeds have been spotlighted, contributing to inaccurate assessments of these individuals’ legacies. A more complete and honest appraisal would lead to greater understanding and more accurate context of our history. Conducting a more thoughtful, transparent review of our “heroes” is not about “denying history,” but rather about acknowledging the injustices and suffering they initiated and perpetuated. Such acknowledgement is critical to a full comprehension of those individuals designated as heroes and honored in monuments. Honesty and transparency will create increased awareness and understanding among everyone in our communities and take us toward a healing of the divisions so recently demonstrated. It is in this spirit that we request a pause in determining the future of the vandalized statue of Franciscan Friar Junipero Serra. California’s Native Americans suffered forced assimilation and servitude that included erosion of language, culture, and religion, as well as acts of violence and abuse under the mission system as founded by Serra. We understand the Joint Rules Committee is working with Legislative Counsel to draft an opinion on how to proceed with placement of the Serra statue on Capitol grounds.

As CCAH is aware, 2020 was a very different legislative session, beleaguered by COVID-19, wildfires, and a tanked economy. However, as always, it is our honor and pleasure to work with CCAH, and we look forward to our combined success in 2021! GENERAL The second year of the 2019-2020 legislative session resumed in January with the Executive and Legislative branches setting aggressive policy goals. The enthusiasm behind these goals was also met with the state’s strong economic outlook. With more money to invest in state programs and infrastructure, both branches sought opportunities to close inequities and reinvest in the state and its people. The enthusiasm turned into concern as state leaders watched countries around the world respond to a dangerous virus that was viciously infecting and killing thousands. The virus, COVID-19, was shutting down economies and closing borders to mitigate transmission, and despite worldwide efforts to control the virus it was making its way to California. When COVID-19 reached our state, its impact on residents and the healthcare system was so severe local governments and the state ordered residents to stay home, non-essential businesses were closed, and mask mandates were issued.
