  • 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.

In the September 1998 issue, faculty members talk about what shared governance means and how to improve it on individual campuses. The issue also features Gray Davis' plans forthe community colleges if he is elected governor and presents endorsements to support education-friendly candidates for the November 3 election. The December 1998 issue explains how to calculate new retirement benefits in the State Teachers' Retirement System, how the changes affect all faculties, andwho faculty should thank for the improvements. Faculty member Carolyn Russell gives a first-person account about the grassroots efforts that successfully convinced state legislators to pass the retirement package. The February 1999 issue features Assemblywomen Gloria Romero and Charlene Zettel and their commitment to helping community colleges receive the funding they need to do their jobs well. It also provides a list of legislators and their primary community college districts.

  • A Recall Effort Over the State's COVID-19 Response Means An
    USApp – American Politics and Policy Blog: A recall effort over the state’s COVID-19 response means an uncertain future for California Governor Gavin Page 1 of 3 Newsom. A recall effort over the state’s COVID-19 response means an uncertain future for California Governor Gavin Newsom. Much of the response to COVID-19 in America in the past year has been led by state governments. In California, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is now facing an effort to remove him from office fueled by perceptions that his administration has mishandled its pandemic response. Jeff Cummins writes that while poor crisis management also drove a successful 2003 recall effort which saw Arnold Schwarzenegger replace Democrat Gray Davis, Newsom’s greater popularity and the nearness of the next gubernatorial election are important factors in the current Governor’s favor. California is on the verge of facing its second recall election of a governor in its 170-year history as a state. The recall allows voters to remove elected officials in between regularly scheduled elections. Unlike impeachment, where elected officials decide whether to remove an appointed or an elected official, in a recall, voters decide two questions: (1) whether to retain the incumbent; and (2) who will replace the incumbent if removed. Currently, a campaign in California seeking to gather voter signatures to trigger a recall election later this year is at or above the signature threshold required to qualify the petition for the ballot. If recall proponents submit about 1.5 million valid signatures, then incumbent Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom would become the second governor in California in the last 20 years, and just the fourth in US history, to confront a recall.
