    The Honorable Gavin Newsom, Governor The Honorable Toni Atkins, President pro State of California Tempore State Capitol, Suite 1173 California State Senate Sacramento, CA 95814 State Capitol, Room 205 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Anthony Rendon, Speaker California State Assembly State Capitol, Room 209 July 28, 2020 President pro Tem Atkins, Speaker Rendon, and Members of the California State Legislature: Our coalition of labor, business, environmental and social justice leaders respectfully urge you to provide new emergency funding to California’s transit agencies to address their funding shortfall of at least $3.1 billion. Without state funding this year, transit service will be reduced and risks permanent elimination. Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on California’s local public transit agencies have been devastating. Transit agencies across the state now face an existential crisis that threatens the availability of transit service in the near-and long-term. Statewide, transit agencies have seen steep declines in ridership and revenues, putting immense strain on agency budgets. As a result, they have been forced to dramatically reduce or suspend services – limiting mobility options for essential and frontline workers, as well as disadvantaged communities who rely on transit services to commute to work. Many of these people do not have other transportation options. A recent analysis by the California Transit Association shows the funding shortfall facing transit agencies statewide, after accounting for the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, now exceeds $3.1 billion. These funding shortfalls threaten the operational viability of transit agencies of all sizes, operating in rural, suburban and urban communities across the state.

    The Honorable Edmund G. The Honorable Holly The Honorable Phil Ting Brown Jr. Mitchell Chair, Assembly Budget Governor, State of Chair, Senate Budget and Committee California Fiscal Review Committee California State Assembly California State Capitol California State Senate Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 February 26, 2018 Re: Prioritizing SSI/SSP Investments in the 2018-19 Budget Dear Governor Brown, Senator Mitchell and Assemblymember Ting, Californians for SSI (CA4SSI) represents more than 200 organizations that represent the nearly 1.3 million Californians who rely on the federal/state Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP) program and have experienced devastating cuts with severe consequences to themselves, non-profit service providers, and to our state. As you know, Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, is a federal safety net program that provides a very basic income to older adults and people with disabilities who have little-to-no other income or resources. With a rapidly aging population and rising income inequality, the nation’s senior population is becoming larger and poorer. SSI is now more important than ever to people in every community around the country. We ask the Legislature & Administration to support a $100 a month budget increase to SSP grants that will bring the combined SSI/SSP grants to nearly 100 percent of the federal poverty level for single recipients. We also ask to re-establish the prior statutory cost of living adjustment (COLA), and urge the Subcommittees to take early action on this request. We gratefully acknowledge the one-time 2.76 percent increase provided in the 2016-17 Budget agreement.

    May 11, 2021 The Honorable Gavin Newsom The Honorable Toni Atkins The Honorable Anthony Rendon Governor of California California State Senate California State Assembly State Capitol, First Floor State Capitol, Rm 205 State Capitol, Room 219 Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: California State Capitol - Public Access Dear Governor Newsom, President Pro Tempore Atkins, and Speaker Rendon: Over the past 4 months, California has made tremendous progress in our battle to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic. Consider how far we have come: - More than 32 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in California - More than 40% of Californians are fully vaccinated - California’s hospitalization rates are at a record low - California’s positivity rate is 1.2%, the lowest in the nation We have navigated a moment of profound crisis and the light at the end of the tunnel has never been brighter. As a result of this terrific progress, pandemic era restrictions have begun to loosen all across our state. Businesses have re-opened their doors and welcomed back customers; we have enjoyed reconnecting with family, neighbors and friends; and we are returning to a semblance of pre-pandemic normalcy. A notable – and increasingly troubling – exception is our State Capitol. Access to the Capitol Building remains limited well beneath other public spaces. For example, movie theaters in the Sacramento area can currently operate at 25% capacity, museums can currently operate at 25% capacity and shopping malls can operate at 50% capacity. Yet the State Capitol severely limits public access and participation to 0% of capacity except during hearings and Floor Session? This is both illogical and unacceptable.

  • 148 California's Legislature
    148 CALIFORNIA’S LEGISLATURE California’s State Capitol, circa 1947 149 Chapter XI THE CAPITOL THE SITING OF A CAPITOL Colton Hall, Monterey Site of Constitutional Convention of 1849 Among the duties of the Constitutional Convention of 1849 was that of proposing a seat of government for the new state. The question was placed before a group of men little affected by historical precedent, for the majority of the delegates had settled in the northern part of the territory for less than a decade, and one-fourth had come west with the gold rush. The few native Californians present might have recalled a territorial capital being moved from Monterey to San Diego, Santa Barbara or Los Angeles at the whim of various Mexican governors. Even Monterey, while playing host to the convention, claimed only the dubious distinction of housing, since 1846, the headquarters of the American military governors. Thus unencumbered by tradition, the delegates voiced their desire for a location free of the distractions of commerce. Offers of accommodations poured in from communities large and small, all envisioning a substantial return on their investment. ‘‘During the session, two men from the booming little town of Pueblo de San Jose´ were sent galloping over the hills to Monterey to offer Washington Square in their town as a capitol site and to assure delegates that a suitable building would await them. After hours of debate the convention accepted the offer and named Pueblo de San Jose´ the capital—with the qualification that, by law, it might be moved elsewhere.’’ 1 1 California’s State Capitol, Northern California Writers’ Program, Works Projects Administration.

    May 26, 2021 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol, First Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Toni Atkins Senate President pro Tempore State Capitol, Room 205 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Anthony Rendon Speaker of the Assembly State Capitol, Room 219 Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: 2021-2022 Proposed Budget for Water and Drought and Climate Resilience Dear Governor Newson, Senate President pro Tempore Atkins and Speaker Rendon: I am writing on behalf of Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) to urge your support for funding that would help Southern California plan for future climate change and further drought-proof our region. As a regional water wholesaler, Metropolitan delivers water to 26 member agencies (including 14 cities, 11 municipal water districts, and one county water authority) which in turn, directly or through their sub-agencies, provide water to approximately 19 million people in Southern California. Thanks to sound planning and investments in conservation, infrastructure and innovation, Southern California is prepared for this year’s drought. That said, we are always focused on the future and will continue to take steps to address climate change by modernizing existing water systems and investing in new, innovative and sustainable projects. For these reasons, we are encouraged by the May Revision and the Legislature’s water and drought and climate resilience budget plans that will help mitigate climate change impacts on our region now and into the future. Summarized below are Metropolitan’s priorities for specific categories of funding for water, drought resiliency and COVID-19 relief. Increase funding for recycled water projects including potable reuse.
