  • Letter to Gov. Newsom Regarding Drought – May 20, 2021
    May 20, 2021 Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Newsom: On behalf of the San Diego County Water Authority, we wish to share our appreciation for your leadership to help California navigate through water shortage and drought conditions. We sympathize with the local conditions experienced in those counties in which you’ve declared drought emergency conditions, and we are particularly grateful that you have publicly shared your observations regarding the need to evaluate water shortage and drought conditions on a county-by-county or region-by-region basis. As you know very well, every region within our huge state is different in terms of climate, water supply portfolio, investments in drought-resilient water suppliers, hydrology, and ability to withstand prolonged water shortage conditions. As you have framed, one-size-fits-all solutions to many issues facing California – including water shortage or drought conditions – don’t work well and are unnecessary. We applaud your focus on water resiliency, sustainability, and bringing the right set of tools to address very complex drought issues. Your “Water Resilience Portfolio” serves as an important framework to guide efforts to insulate communities and regions from drought. Importantly, we’ve all learned lessons from the most recent prolonged drought that can be used to help guide our collective drought preparation and response during 2021 and into future years, and there are opportunities available to continue improving drought resilience and sustainability going forward: • Localism should be determinative. As you’ve noted publicly throughout your communications related to the COVID-19 pandemic, different regions of California have different needs and localism should be determinative in the state’s approaches to addressing broad policy issues.

  • California Indian Tribes Political Contributions Since 2000
    $212 Million in Tribal Political Spending Shapes Policy Outcomes in California Since 1998, tribes have spent more $100,000,000 than $212 million $90,000,000 on politics in $80,000,000 California.1 $70,000,000 $60,000,000 Limiting $50,000,000 competition and $40,000,000 protecting industry $30,000,000 privileges are the $20,000,000 top focus of tribal $10,000,000 spending. Since $0 gaining a 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 monopoly on lucrative Las Vegas-style Figure 1 Total Tribal Spending in CA casinos in the late 1990s, Indian tribes have quickly become the top-ranked political spenders in California.2 While Congress mulls lobbying reforms following an estimated $26 million in total federal political expenditures by tribes, there is no sign that tribal political spending in California will abate. Tribes spent more than $56 million in 1998 and again more than $86 million in 2004 on ballot propositions seeking to persuade voters to protect and expand their gaming monopoly. Starting with the gubernatorial recall in 2003 and continuing through bruising statewide ballot propositions in 2004, tribal political spending mushroomed to $107 million in the two year period. During the calendar year that included the recall, tribes spent $19 million directly on the recall and on elected officials. According to the San Diego Union Tribune, $8 million of that total went to Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, who lost to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Three quarters of all tribal political contributions historically occur in the last half of the year. In addition to costly ballot fights, California Tribes gave more than $23 million directly to state elected officials, who play a critical role in limiting tribes’ competition by controlling the ratification of new gaming compacts and shaping industry policy.

    Proposed Resolution for Endorsement by the San Diego City Council WHEREAS, the right to free speech afforded by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution is the bedrock of our democracy; and WHEREAS, this right to free speech applies to people, not corporations; and WHEREAS, corporations very clearly are not people but are entities created by the laws of states and nations; and WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010) 130 S. Ct. 876 deemed corporations to be people; and WHEREAS, the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court overturned a longstanding precedent prohibiting corporations from using general treasury funds to influence our elections, candidate selection, and policy decisions; and WHEREAS, since the Citizens United ruling, Americans have witnessed a massive influx of corporate money into our political process that is without precedent in our nation’s history; and WHEREAS, the Citizens United case directly impacts state and local effortso tcontrol the influence of corporate money in their own elections; and WHEREAS, the Citizens United ruling and its far reaching effects represent serious and direct threats to our democracy; and WHEREAS, the Constitution empowers the people and states to use the constitutional amendment process to correct decisions of the Supreme Court; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED, that the San Diego City Council respectfully disagrees with the majority opinion and decision of the United States Supreme Court in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission and calls upon the United States Congress to propose and send to the states for ratification a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United v.

  • 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).

Created by Thomas Jefferson Professors Julie Greenberg, Susan Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Tiefenbrun and Susan Bisom-Rapp, and fostered by a committed group of faculty, staff and students, the first conference earned rave reviews from its attendees, including practitioners and legal academics.
