  • California State Assembly
    January 25, 2021 Honorable Anthony Rendon Honorable Toni G. Atkins Speaker of the Assembly President pro Tempore of the Senate State Capitol, Room 219 State Capitol, Room 205 Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Speaker Rendon and President Pro Tem Atkins, We respectfully request that the Legislature convene a joint, bi-partisan committee to hold oversight hearings regarding the Newsom Administration’s unwillingness to share COVID-19 data with the public. To regain the public’s trust, it is crucial that we share data with the public, including the formulas and calculations that are being used to guide the Governor’s decisions related to responding to the pandemic. This information is critical to understanding the reasons behind the abysmal vaccine rollout, as well as the seemingly-random issuance of stay-at-home orders and business closures. It is important to hold the Administration accountable when so many lives are at stake. During the Governor’s recent stay-at-home order, his Administration has yet to share the data relied upon to lift the order in the Greater Sacramento region, or information in the recent statewide lift, despite the fact that ICU capacity in some regions is far below the 15% threshold he established when he imposed the order. This has confused communities, counties and businesses, leaving them unprepared to take immediate action. The Administration’s justification that the data and modeling are too complicated is both inadequate and quite frankly, insulting. The public has the right to know what is behind his decision-making process. Specifically we believe the public has a right to the following information: Data, metrics, calculations, and formulas being used to make decisions regarding stay-at- home orders and vaccine distribution.

  • 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.

  • California Elections and Community College Measures November 2016 Election Round up November 14, 2016
    California Elections and Community College Measures November 2016 Election Round Up November 14, 2016 OVERVIEW While the election was last week, ballots are still being counted and final certified results are due to the Secretary of State for presidential electors on December 6, 2016, and for all other state contests on December 9, 2016. The Secretary of State will certify the statewide results by December 16, 2016. Until the results are certified, the outcome of close races may change from what is presented below. Focusing on results affecting California Community Colleges, the election provided mostly positive results including the passage of the statewide bond measure, Proposition 51, as well as a number of local bonds. Californians passed several tax measures including Proposition 55, which will continue to provide funding for education. Voters in San Francisco passed an extension of the parcel tax to help fund the City College of San Francisco as well as another local measure that increases the transfer tax rate for sales of residential and commercial properties. Proponents state, that with the passage of this measure, the City of San Francisco could provide free community college. Funds from this local measure will go to the City’s general fund; however, in July, the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution making the City College of San Francisco free for residents a top priority for the new revenue. If results hold in the State Assembly, the Democrats will have gained a supermajority with three seats switching party hands. However, this could change because one of those seats remains a close contest in Assembly District 55 and all three changes are needed for a supermajority.
