    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.

    April 9, 2020 Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol, Suite 1173 Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: Relief for Undocumented Residents during the COVID-19 Pandemic Dear Governor Newsom, We, the undersigned, write to you in regards the urgent need to adopt specific policy measures to address the needs of our state’s undocumented community during this COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you for your strong leadership to increase the efforts to limit the spread of the virus, prepare our first responders, and create policies to minimize the economic impact California residents and businesses will face. We urge you to include one of the most vulnerable populations of our state, the undocumented community, in your relief proposals. As you know, more than two million undocumented immigrants make California their home. Nearly one in ten California workers is an undocumented worker. Many of these workers are still working on the front lines to keep California moving and, at the same time, they and their families are also impacted by this pandemic. These individuals will not receive any financial relief from the federal government, although a report from the Institute of Taxation and Economic Policy found that undocumented immigrants contribute over $3 billion dollars in taxes to California. For these reasons we must step up and provide relief for them at the State level. California has taken the lead in protecting and expanding rights for undocumented immigrants. We applaud the California Latino Legislative Caucus (CLLC) for their March 30, 2020 letter regarding the urgent need to adopt several policy measures to protect undocumented residents and we urge to you to take those proposals into consideration to protect some of our most vulnerable residents.

  • Amicus Curiae Letter in Support of Petition for Review Pico Neighborhood Association, Et Al
    August 20, 2020 Hon. Chief Justice Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye and Hon. Associate Justices Supreme Court of California 350 McAllister Street, Room 1295 San Francisco, CA 94102-4797 Re: Amicus Curiae Letter in Support of Petition for Review Pico Neighborhood Association, et al. v. City of Santa Monica Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Division Eight, Case No. B295935 Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. BC616804 Dear Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the California Supreme Court: In its July 9, 2020 Opinion, the Court of Appeal held that the California Voting Rights Act (Elections Code 14025-14032, “CVRA”) only applies to jurisdictions in which a minority community is numerous and geographically concentrated enough to comprise the majority of voters in a compact election district. The Court of Appeal reasoned that only with a majority in an election district could a minority community elect its preferred candidates. Our collective experience, as Latino, Black and Asian Pacific Islander elected officials in California demonstrates that the Opinion is wrong. As discussed below, nearly half of us were elected to the Legislature by districts where the corresponding minority community accounts for between 20% and 49% of the district’s eligible voters. Still, it is, in part, because of the strong support we receive from our respective minority communities that we have prevailed in elections. Not only is the Opinion wrong, it is horribly damaging to the voting rights of millions of Californians, and the prospects for the next generation of minority leaders. Because California is exceptionally diverse (one of our state’s great strengths), and not as segregated as the Deep South (at which the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 was directed), minority communities are not compact enough to comprise the majority of voters in an election district in many jurisdictions.
