Resolution in Support of the California HOME Act, SB 9

Resolution in Support of the California HOME Act (Housing Opportunity & More Efficiency Act), S.B. 9 WHEREAS the County of Santa Clara, with one of the highest costs of living in the US and in the State of California, is in a severe and prolonged housing and affordability crisis, driven by years inadequate housing production; and WHEREAS the housing and affordability crisis continues to be a major source of stress on Santa Clara County and California’s fiscal health, social welfare, medical, and public safety systems, and places an unnecessary burden on our most vulnerable populations, while disproportionately harming low-income families, putting them at greater risk for housing instability and homelessness; and WHEREAS the most effective way to address these issues is to provide more homes, that are affordable to low- and moderate-income families; and WHEREAS housing is a human right and the need for housing stability provides the basis for educational, health, and economic outcomes; and THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Santa Clara County Democratic Central Committee supports the California HOME Act (Housing Opportunity & More Efficiency), S.B. 9, calling upon the Governor and the California Legislature to rectify California’s housing crisis, expand opportunities for existing homeowners to build equity, create new homeownership opportunities for those locked out of the market, allow for lot splits, and the legalization of duplexes; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be provided to Assemblymember Marc Berman, Assemblymember Ash Kalra, Assemblymember Alex Lee, Assemblymember Evan Low, Assemblymember Robert Rivas, Assemblymember Mark Stone, State Senator Josh Becker, State Senator Dave Cortese State Senator John Laird, State Senator Bob Wieckowski.

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.

Local 38 Committee on Political Education (COPE) Endorsements
NovemberLocal 3rd 38 General Committee Election on Political Education (COPE) Endorsements The following is a list of endorsements from your Local 38 Committee on Political Education (COPE) for the upcoming general election on November 3, 2020. The Local 38 COPE does not arrive at these endorsements easily or arbitrarily. The political positions of local, state and national politicians, as well as the impact of state and local ballot propositions, is vital to the future of Local 38 and our membership. Thus, we pay careful attention to the statements (public and private), campaign contributors and voting records of those running for office in our jurisdiction and where our membership lives. Whenever possible, we interview candidates personally, pressing them about issues important to Local 38 and organized labor. Where we can’t actually meet face-to-face, we rely on the recommendation of local, regional and statewide labor and building trades councils most of whom have interviewed local candidates about issues important to working families and their unions. Your COPE urges you to refer to this list when voting, and to support COPE backed candidates and measures. Prop . 15 . YES Prop . K .

For years, expanded learning (afterschool and summer) programs have played an essential role in providing social-emotional, academic, and other support services to students and families, especially in communities hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, the expanded learning workforce was called to the frontlines to serve schools and communities in new ways – supervising children of essential workers and other vulnerable students while schools were closed, finding lost students and re-engaging families, delivering technology and distance learning resources, ensuring families are fed, and providing social-emotional and academic support virtually. As schools prepare to reopen, we appreciate the Legislature and Governor’s efforts to fast-track proposals for crucial expanded learning time and support.

California Council for Affordable Housing Annual Legislative Report October 1, 2020
California Council for Affordable Housing Annual Legislative Report October 1, 2020 Prepared for Patrick Sabelhaus, Executive Director California Council for Affordable Housing Prepared by Political Solutions, LLC TO: Patrick Sabelhaus, Executive Director, California Council for Affordable Housing FROM: Tami Miller, Melissa Werner Political Solutions, LLC RE: 2020 Legislative Summary and 2021 Forecast DATE: October 1, 2020 Political Solutions, LLC enjoyed the opportunity to continue working with and representing the California Council for Affordable Housing (CCAH) this year. 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.
