  • League of Women Voters of North & Central San Mateo County, California
    The Voter League of Women Voters of North & Central San Mateo County, California The League of Women Voters is where hands-on work to safeguard democracy leads to civic improvement. April 2018 General Meeting Tuesday April 17, 2018 7-9 p.m. Colma Community Center 1520 Hillside Boulevard, Colma WIRE for Women Women Helping Women Enter Public Office Women are underrepresented on every level of government and politics in this country. On the national level, women comprise only 20% of the US Congress and only 24% of state legislatures. Only about 19% of mayoral positions across the country are held by women and women hold only 25% of statewide executive level positions. Why is this? Why don’t more women run for office or get appointed to local Boards? More importantly, how do we change this imbalance so that women are equally represented in our government? The answer may be with groups like WIRE. WIRE's goal is to accelerate the identification and recruitment of qualified women for public office. Speaker: Carol Mayer Marshall, Founder and President of WIRE for Women WIRE is a nonpartisan organization comprised of women and men committed to increasing the number of women in appointed and elected office in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. WIRE identifies and recruits candidates for public office and supports their efforts by providing a broad network of resources. For more information, go to the WIRE website at www.wireforwomen.com. This meeting is open to the public. Please contact Susie Raye, Program Director for more information: [email protected] or leave a message at (650)342-5853.

  • July 9, 2019 the Honorable Anthony Portantino Chair, Senate
    July 9, 2019 The Honorable Anthony Portantino Chair, Senate Appropriations Committee State Capitol, Room 3086 Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Assembly Bill 1080 (Gonzalez) – SUPPORT IF AMENDED As Amended July 5, 2019 Dear Senator Portantino: On behalf of the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC), I am writing with respect to Assembly Bill 1080, authored by Assembly Member Lorena Gonzalez, which, among other things, requires manufacturers to source, reduce, and recycle single- use packaging and products sold in California. While we are strongly supportive of what the bill seeks to accomplish, we believe some amendments are vital to avoid costly burdens on local governments. RCRC is an association of thirty-six rural California counties, and the RCRC Board of Directors is comprised of elected supervisors from each of those member counties. California is in the process of implementing SB 1383 (Lara, Chapter 395, 2016), which establishes ambitious goals to reduce landfill disposal of organic waste 75 percent below 2014 levels by 2025. CalRecycle’s far-reaching SB 1383 regulation could cost as much as $20 billion to implement and poses many challenges for local governments. Considering the massive costs local governments will soon face with SB 1383 implementation, it is vital to avoid imposing additional costly requirements on local jurisdictions. Previous versions of AB 1080 appropriately placed compliance obligations on manufacturers and retailers who produce and sell single-use products; however, the June 20 amendments significantly

  • 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.

  • California Council for Affordable Housing Annual Legislative Report October 1, 2020
    California Council for Affordable Housing Annual Legislative Report October 1, 2020 Prepared for Patrick Sabelhaus, Executive Director California Council for Affordable Housing Prepared by Political Solutions, LLC TO: Patrick Sabelhaus, Executive Director, California Council for Affordable Housing FROM: Tami Miller, Melissa Werner Political Solutions, LLC RE: 2020 Legislative Summary and 2021 Forecast DATE: October 1, 2020 Political Solutions, LLC enjoyed the opportunity to continue working with and representing the California Council for Affordable Housing (CCAH) this year. As CCAH is aware, 2020 was a very different legislative session, beleaguered by COVID-19, wildfires, and a tanked economy. However, as always, it is our honor and pleasure to work with CCAH, and we look forward to our combined success in 2021! GENERAL The second year of the 2019-2020 legislative session resumed in January with the Executive and Legislative branches setting aggressive policy goals. The enthusiasm behind these goals was also met with the state’s strong economic outlook. With more money to invest in state programs and infrastructure, both branches sought opportunities to close inequities and reinvest in the state and its people. The enthusiasm turned into concern as state leaders watched countries around the world respond to a dangerous virus that was viciously infecting and killing thousands. The virus, COVID-19, was shutting down economies and closing borders to mitigate transmission, and despite worldwide efforts to control the virus it was making its way to California. When COVID-19 reached our state, its impact on residents and the healthcare system was so severe local governments and the state ordered residents to stay home, non-essential businesses were closed, and mask mandates were issued.
