State Issues
Week of January 14, 2019 State Issues Legislative Analyst This week, the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) released its overview of Governor Newsom’s budget proposal for FY Report on State 2019-20 that was presented last week, and saw a new leader selected to lead this non-partisan organization. The Budget Legislature appointed a new state Legislative Analyst to fill the role Mac Taylor has held for 10 years. They named Gabriel Petek to the post, who most recently worked for Standard and Poor’s Global Ratings San Francisco Office where he is currently the state’s primary credit analyst. He takes the reins on February 4. In addition to getting a new chief, the LAO released its overview of the Governor’s January budget highlighting that that state’s budget position continues to be strong. They also focus on the fact that the Governor’s proposed budget prioritizes the repayments of state debts and a great deal of one-time funding. Nearly half of the discretionary spending is earmarked to pay down state liabilities, including unfunded retirement liabilities and budget debts. Twenty-five (25) percent of the discretionary spending is for one time or temporary funding proposals, and 15 percent for discretionary reserves. The LAO applauds the Governor’s decision to focus on the repayment of state debts. The LAO points out one thing that many took note of – the Governor has outlined many priorities for budgetary spending. And at least some of the proposals are not fully fleshed out or reflected in the budget document. The LAO was not critical of this but pointed out that these un-finalized proposals give the Legislature the opportunity to weigh in with the Administration and have their say in its development. -
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. -

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). -

My students are boxes on my computer screen. I use my iPad as a dry erase board. At times, I am not certain if they are at their computers, but thanks to technology I can record the lectures and students can watch at a later time. I was impressed that many of my students found a way to persevere and stay strong despite the challenges within the world and their personal lives. It is VOL.

E2: Clean Jobs California 2021
AUGUST 2021 WWW.E2.ORG @E2ORG #CLEANJOBSCA CLEAN JOBS CALIFORNIA 2021 RESILIENT: AMERICA’S CLEAN ECONOMY POWERHOUSE IN THE WAKE OF COVID-19 © Dennis Schroeder/NREL © Dennis Schroeder/NREL © Dennis Schroeder/NREL © istock Methodology The analysis is based on employment data collected and analyzed by the BW Research Partnership for the 2021 U.S. Energy and Employment Report (USEER). The USEER analyzes data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) to track employment across many energy production, transmission, and distribution subsectors. In addition, the 2021 USEER relies on a unique supplemental survey of 30,000 business representatives across the United States. Created and conducted by BW Research with a methodology that has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), this survey is used to identify energy-related employment within key subsectors of the broader industries as classified by the BLS and to assign them into their component energy and energy efficiency sectors. About This Report This is the fourth annual Clean Jobs California report produced by E2 based on analysis of the USEER, which was first released by the DOE in 2016. E2 was an original proponent of the DOE producing the USEER and was a partner on the reports produced by the Energy Futures Initiative (EFI) and National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) after the Trump administration abandoned it in 2017.
