  • California Proposition 70, Vote Requirement to Use Cap-And
    California Proposition 70, Vote Requirement to Use Cap-and-Trade Revenue Amendment (June 2018) California Proposition 70: Vote Requirement to Use Cap-and- Trade Revenue Amendment Election date June 5, 2018 Topic State and local government budgets, spending and finance and Energy Status On the ballot Type Origin Constitutional State amendment legislature California Proposition 70, the Vote Requirement to Use Cap-and-Trade Revenue Amendment, is on the ballotin California as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on June 5, 2018.[1] A "yes" vote supports this amendment to require a one-time two-thirds vote in each chamber of the state legislature in 2024 or thereafter to pass a spending plan for revenue from the state's cap-and-trade program for greenhouse gases. A "no" vote opposes this amendment to require a one-time two-thirds vote in each legislative chamber in 2024 or thereafter to pass a spending plan for revenue from the state's cap-and-trade program. Overview What would Proposition 70 require? Proposition 70 would require a one-time two-thirds vote in each chamber of the California State Legislature to use revenue from the State Air Resources Board's auctioning or sale of greenhouse gas emissions allowances under the state's cap-and- trade program. To make sure no revenue is spent without the two-thirds vote, the measure would place all revenue from the cap-and-trade program in a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Reserve Fund beginning on January 1, 2024. The vote would take place anytime on or after January 1, 2024. Revenue would collect in this reserve fund until the one-time two-thirds vote occurred.

  • Climate Change from the Streets: a Community-Based Framework for Addressing Local and Global Environmental Health Impacts
    Climate Change from the Streets: A Community-based Framework for Addressing Local and Global Environmental Health Impacts by Michael Anthony Mendez A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning and the Designated Emphasis in Science and Technology Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jason Corburn, Chair Professor Malo Hutson Professor David Winickoff Spring 2015 Abstract Climate Change from the Streets: A Community-Based Framework for Addressing Local and Global Environmental Health Impacts by Michael Anthony Mendez Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning and the Designated Emphasis in Science and Technology Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Jason Corburn, Chair This dissertation analyzes the emerging epistemologies of climate change in California as articulated by social movements, experts, and subnational governments. As the world’s eighth- largest economy and the only state in the U.S. to implement a comprehensive program of regulatory and market-based mechanisms to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, California represents an important site of inquiry. The passage of Assembly Bill 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 has made the state a global leader on climate change science and policy innovation. While no subnational government can halt climate change alone, California’s environmental policies have a long history of success and replication. Through an extensive analysis of the state’s climate policies and interviews with key stakeholders, this dissertation highlights the challenges California faces in influencing global climate policy while addressing the needs of local communities that are already adversely impacted by air pollution.

  • The Honorable Greig Smith Council Member Cd 12 Los Angeles City Council
    THE HONORABLE GREIG SMITH COUNCIL MEMBER CD 12 LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL Greig Smith was elected to Los Angeles City Council in 2003. As Councilman for the 12th District, Greig represents the neighborhoods of Northridge, Granada Hills, Chatsworth, Canoga Park, Porter Ranch, parts of West Van Nuys and Encino, West Hills, North Hills and Lake Balboa. Safeguarding the quality of life in the Northwest San Fernando Valley is a strong platform Greig has established. Greig's areas of focus continue to be improving public safety, protecting the environment, improving traffic, transportation and infrastructure, boosting the economy, and maintaining the beauty of our neighborhoods and natural areas. His continuing effort to make government more accessible, efficient and accountable reflects his belief in the importance of community involvement Greig has been working on behalf of the Northwest San Fernando Valley for more than 25 years. His lifelong desire to be involved in the community made him a community leader. He became President of the North Hills Jaycees, a community service and leadership training organization, where he led community service projects, including the Jaycee-sponsored Factory of Nightmares. Few Valley residents will forget the good times they had at the annual Halloween haunted-house, or the hundreds of thousands of dollars it raised for local charities. Greig was named Outstanding Jaycee for the state of California and one of the 10 best Jaycees in the United States. Before Greig was elected, Mayor James K.

  • URBAN SECESSION and the POLITICS of GROWTH the Case of Los Angeles
    Hogen-Esch / LAND USE IN URBANLOS ANGELES AFFAIRS REVIEW / July 2001 URBAN SECESSION AND THE POLITICS OF GROWTH The Case of Los Angeles TOM HOGEN-ESCH University of Southern California The author argues that the current movement to secede San Fernando Valley from the city of Los Angeles exposes significant weaknesses in the existing literature on urban fragmentation. By constructing a theoretical framework, the author explains the effort as primarily a conflict between interest groups over the power to control urban growth. Second, existing scholarship cannot explain why progrowth Valley business organizations and slow-growth Valley home- owner associations have aligned to form a potent, though seemingly unlikely, urban coalition. The author concludes that these traditional land-use foes share far more common ground on growth issues than conventional theories predict. In particular, both share elements of a suburban land-use vision that provides a substantive foundation for collective action. Recently, numerous communities in American cities have turned to a rela- tively new empowerment strategy, urban secession.1 Unlike the process of suburbanization, in which individuals exercise the option to flee, urban secession movements represent group mobilizations of “exit” over “voice” or “loyalty” (Hirschman 1970). Municipal independence, therefore, offers dis- satisfied communities of interest many advantages of exit but “without the inconvenience of moving” (Briffault 1992). The author examines the Valley Voters Organized Toward Empowerment (Valley VOTE) (1996 to present) secession movement in Los Angeles. Dur- ing the summer of 1996 in Los Angeles, business groups in city of Los Angeles portions of the San Fernando Valley aligned to revive their long- standing dream of municipal independence.
