    For Immediate Release December 3, 2018 Contact: Roseryn Bhudsabourg, Director of Communications Office of Assembly Member Ash Kalra (916) 319-2027 [email protected] Assemblymember Ash Kalra to Lead Historic California Delegation to India, First-Ever for State Assembly SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Ash Kalra (D-San Jose), who is the first Indian American elected to the State Legislature, will be leading the California State Assembly’s first-ever delegation to India this month. The historic two-week trade delegation, departing December 4, is sanctioned by Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) and will take six legislators to New Delhi, Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Mumbai and Punjab to discuss bilateral relations and have conversations on political, economic, and social developments in California and India. “Our goal is to identify areas where California’s and India’s policy priorities align—with a special focus on tech’s role in enhancing sustainability in agriculture, energy and transportation,” said Assemblymember Kalra. “There is an opportunity here to continue to build long-term relationships between California and India, and explore ways we can work together to achieve our respective goals. In addition, there is strong interest in exploring how we can work together to ensure that, in a connected and tech-based world, democracy can still thrive.” The legislators from California who are part of the delegation are Assemblymembers Cecilia Aguiar-Curry (D-Winters), Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica), Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Fullerton), Eloise Gómez Reyes (D-San Bernardino) and Mark Stone (D-Monterey Bay). The delegation is expected to focus on three major issue areas: agriculture, technology and resilience, and citizenship in a digital democracy.

    January 6, 2021 The Honorable Cecilia Aguiar-Curry California State Assembly State Capitol, Room 5144 Sacramento, California 95814 Re: AB 14 (Aguiar-Curry) – Communications: broadband services: California Advanced Services Fund. Support – As Introduced December 7, 2020 Dear Assembly Member Aguiar-Curry: On behalf of the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), representing all 58 counties in the state, I am pleased to support your AB 14, related to broadband and the infrastructure subsidies needed to deploy it more broadly. Inequitable access to broadband is a longstanding issue, but the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects on students, workers, small businesses, and everyday life has highlighted just how severe and urgent the disparity is. Bringing our infrastructure into the modern era is critical for all communities, whether or not providers consider them profitable. Addressing these issues will undoubtedly require additional resources to be available as soon as possible, so the additional funding AB 14 would authorize—as well as the authority to issue a revenue bond of up to $1 billion—is critically important. Counties also appreciate the explicit authority for Boards of Supervisors to approve the construction and operation of broadband infrastructure and services. For the aforementioned reasons, we support AB 14 and appreciate your efforts on this important issue. We would like to work with you and your co-authors as this bill moves forward to ensure it contains the reforms necessary to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number

    STATE CAPITOL P.O. BOX 942849 SACRAMENTO, CA 94249-0047 (916) 651-4020 FAX (916) 651-4920 July 9, 2020 Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins Ken Cooley, Chair, Assembly Rules Committee Members of the Assembly and Senate Committees on Rules Members of the Joint Committee on Rules State Capitol Sacramento, California 95814 Dear Pro Tempore Atkins and Chair Cooley: Recent weeks have exposed frustration with the celebration of historical figures that governments have honored with official monuments. Much of that frustration has focused on glaring omissions in the historical narratives of these figures. Only select deeds have been spotlighted, contributing to inaccurate assessments of these individuals’ legacies. A more complete and honest appraisal would lead to greater understanding and more accurate context of our history. Conducting a more thoughtful, transparent review of our “heroes” is not about “denying history,” but rather about acknowledging the injustices and suffering they initiated and perpetuated. Such acknowledgement is critical to a full comprehension of those individuals designated as heroes and honored in monuments. Honesty and transparency will create increased awareness and understanding among everyone in our communities and take us toward a healing of the divisions so recently demonstrated. It is in this spirit that we request a pause in determining the future of the vandalized statue of Franciscan Friar Junipero Serra. California’s Native Americans suffered forced assimilation and servitude that included erosion of language, culture, and religion, as well as acts of violence and abuse under the mission system as founded by Serra. We understand the Joint Rules Committee is working with Legislative Counsel to draft an opinion on how to proceed with placement of the Serra statue on Capitol grounds.

    CALIFORNIA STATE ASSEMBLY Your Legislature Welcome to the California State Assembly—the people’s house. I will always remember my first visit to the Capitol as a youth for two reasons: a terrifying number of squirrels in the park and all the scaffolding and construction materials that were seemingly everywhere. It turns out my family and I were visiting during the 1970s restoration of the Capitol, which returned this magnificent building to its original greatness. While you are here, you have the opportunity to see democracy in action. You can view the Legislature in session from the galleries on the third floor or watch committees debate legislation. A copy of the Daily File, which lists the day’s legislative activities, can be obtained from the Bill Room in the Capitol basement, or accessed online at Assembly.ca.gov. Assembly.ca.gov also provides the history, text, and analysis of every bill, and includes biographies, press releases, committee memberships, and other information about Members of the Assembly. I hope your visit to the State Capitol is a reminder that your voice has an impact on crafting California’s laws. There is no greater place to learn about California’s government and rich history than in our State Capitol. On behalf of all 80 Members of the Assembly, I hope you enjoy your visit. ANTHONY RENDON SPEAKER OF THE ASSEMBLY The California Legislature The Members The California Legislature is composed of an Assembly and a Senate, consisting of 80 and 40 Members, respectively. Members of the Assembly are elected for two-year terms, while Senators are elected for four-year terms, with one-half of the membership elected every two years.

  • January 21, 2020 the Honorable Richard Bloom the Honorable
    January 21, 2020 The Honorable Richard Bloom The Honorable Laura Friedman The Honorable Eduardo Garcia The Honorable Kevin Mullin California State Assembly Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: Need to Include Diverted Organic Waste Funding in Bond Legislation Dear Assemblymembers Bloom, Friedman, Garcia and Mullin: We are writing to urge you to include significant funding for organic waste diversion and recycling in your pending climate resilience bond legislation. Organic waste diversion is a critical requirement of the state’s climate policies and one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce climate-forcing/global warming. Organic waste that is not recycled emits methane, which has far more immediate and powerful warming impacts than carbon dioxide (methane emissions are 74 times more damaging than carbon dioxide). As a result, reducing methane emissions from organic waste helps the climate immediately. Beyond these emissions impacts, converting local organic waste into local energy supplies will also increase Community Resilience and energy security. Unfortunately, the Governor’s proposed budget and climate bond only include $15 million for organic waste diversion projects. We urge the Legislature, therefore, to include $500 million for diverted organic waste projects in bond legislation this year. California’s climate policies require that we do a better job of recycling our organic waste, but don’t provide sufficient funding to support implementation. Senate Bill 1383 (Lara, 2016) requires that, by 2025, California divert 75 percent of organic landfill waste – 15 million tons per year - and puts that waste to beneficial use. The highest and best use of most organic waste is to convert it to energy and use the byproducts – compost, biosolids, or biochar – to produce fertilizer and other products that return carbon and other nutrients to the soil (which also contributes to soil health and sequesters carbon).
