Greater Los Angeles GREATER LOS ANGELES A PROJECT OF CAPITOL RESOURCE INSTITUTE WWW.CAPITOLRESOURCE.ORG Dear Friends, In this unprecedented time, Californians have gone into hiding due to the novel coronavirus. California’s politicians are no different. Despite contacting every candidate multiple times, many have ignored or refused to answer our questions for the Faith, Family, and Freedom Voter Guide. In the future, we hope that many more candidates will be eager to share their stances with voters. At Capitol Resource Institute, we have made it our goal to advocate and defend a culture of family values in California. For years we have researched legislation and spoken to legislators on behalf of all of our supporters regarding issues that matter to them. We hope to accomplish the same goal through the Faith, Family, and Freedom Voter Guide. There are many who are calling the 2020 election the most important election to date, but we at Capitol Resource Institute understand that every election holds equal importance. The right to vote is an important cornerstone to our republic. Active participation is required to maintain and keep a healthy republic. Our hope for the Faith, Family, and Freedom Voter Guide was to create a nonpartisan document that educated the voter on where candidates stand on issues that matter to YOU. We surveyed every candidate for the California State Senate, Assembly, and U.S. House of Representatives to bring you the most accurate portrayal of where they stand. We have also provided additional information regarding the propositions you will see on your ballot. Elections hold an important place in our republic because it is an opportunity for the citizens to determine the path they want their state or nation to embark upon. You have the opportunity to be an agent of change in your communities. Thank you for your support throughout the years. At Capitol Resource Institute, we hope Californians concerned for family values, religious liberty, and freedom will continue to make their voice heard for years to come. Whether you are submitting an absentee ballot or are heading to the polls on November 3rd, make sure your voice is heard. Sincerely, Karen England Executive Director Capitol Resource Institute 2020 Proposition Guide 02 Californians voting their values is more critical now than ever before. Casting your vote for President, Congress, and your state and local representatives is the best way to make your voice heard. This year, your vote on the ballot initiatives is also critical.

  • 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.

  • February 10, 2021 to Members of the Coachella City Council: The
    February 10, 2021 To Members of the Coachella City Council: The proposed city ordinance mandating that farmers and other agricultural employers provide an additional four dollars per hour to their employees would harm many long-standing family farms, field workers and other employees whose livelihoods are invested in those farms, and the post- pandemic economic recovery of the region. Labor is by far the highest cost for California family farms. California’s minimum wage at $14 per hour is highest of any state in the U.S. Adding on top of that regulatory compliance costs and agricultural overtime laws, California farmers already face the highest wage structure in the nation. Consequently, producers in other states and countries routinely undercut our growers on price, a condition that has only become more acute with the additional costs our farmers have absorbed to protect their employees during the pandemic. Farmers are price takers, not price setters. Their customers are grocery and restaurant produce buyers who are under enormous pressure to secure fresh produce at the lowest cost possible, and they have many options in most fresh produce items, including those grown in the Coachella Valley. This council can mandate higher wages be paid to farm employees, but it cannot mandate that the grocery and restaurant buyers will accept that additional cost and pass it along to consumers. In fact, we know they won’t. They will look elsewhere for fresh bell peppers, lettuce, cabbage, table grapes, dates, citrus and other Coachella-grown produce. Farmers in Mexico will likely be the only beneficiaries of this mandate.

  • E2: Clean Jobs California 2021
    AUGUST 2021 WWW.E2.ORG @E2ORG #CLEANJOBSCA CLEAN JOBS CALIFORNIA 2021 RESILIENT: AMERICA’S CLEAN ECONOMY POWERHOUSE IN THE WAKE OF COVID-19 © Dennis Schroeder/NREL © Dennis Schroeder/NREL © Dennis Schroeder/NREL © istock Methodology The analysis is based on employment data collected and analyzed by the BW Research Partnership for the 2021 U.S. Energy and Employment Report (USEER). The USEER analyzes data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) to track employment across many energy production, transmission, and distribution subsectors. In addition, the 2021 USEER relies on a unique supplemental survey of 30,000 business representatives across the United States. Created and conducted by BW Research with a methodology that has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), this survey is used to identify energy-related employment within key subsectors of the broader industries as classified by the BLS and to assign them into their component energy and energy efficiency sectors. About This Report This is the fourth annual Clean Jobs California report produced by E2 based on analysis of the USEER, which was first released by the DOE in 2016. E2 was an original proponent of the DOE producing the USEER and was a partner on the reports produced by the Energy Futures Initiative (EFI) and National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) after the Trump administration abandoned it in 2017. For additional insight into E2’s Clean Jobs California or our other annual clean energy economic reports, visit e2.org/reports.

  • December 18, 2020 Director Eric Hirata Alcoholic Beverage Control 3927 Lennane Drive, Suite 100 Sacramento, CA 95834 Dear Direct
    December 18, 2020 Director Eric Hirata Alcoholic Beverage Control 3927 Lennane Drive, Suite 100 Sacramento, CA 95834 Dear Director Hirata, We write to request that ABC cease enforcement on licensees who continue to operate responsibly during COVID-19. It is our understanding that the Department's administrative and disciplinary actions against licensees are based on the prohibition against permitting a disorderly house, Business and Profession Code § 25601. The disorderly house statute was intended to provide enforcement against establishments actually endangering the public and disturbing the peace, such as enabling or failing to prevent fights, assaults, or public drunkenness. It was not intended to warrant enforcement on business operating responsibly, when there is no evidence their operation endangers the public. On Wednesday, San Diego County suspended enforcement against restaurants and live entertainment establishments after a San Diego Superior Court judge issued an injunction which will allow businesses with restaurant services to remain open. Similarly, in Los Angeles County, the Superior Court recently issued an injunction overturning the ban on outdoor eating in the county for being arbitrary and not based on evidence. Even the Governor’s Health Secretary recently conceded there is no empirical basis for the ban. It is clear that the continued operation of these businesses is not a threat to public health or safety, especially if they are following best practices to limit the spread such as outdoor dining, social distancing, use of masks, and robust sanitation. Already an estimated 30 percent of California’s restaurants are at risk of closing permanently. To take arbitrary administrative action against restaurants now will only further damage the industry and destroy the jobs for the 1.4 million Californians who rely on their continued operation.

    January 13, 2021 Governor Gavin Newsom Office of the Governor State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Newsom, Your recently-announced goal of distributing one million vaccines within 10 days is the most urgent priority facing the State. To ensure the efficient delivery of vaccines, we respectfully request your consideration of the following ideas and requests from our constituent communities: 1) The incoming Biden Administration announced last week its aim to release nearly all available vaccine to states. As counties continue to report uncertainty about the quantity of vaccines that they can expect over the next several weeks, and to better prepare for a larger roll out, including staffing and how to set up sites, please provide the following information to counties: a. A reliable forecast for expected vaccine quantity over the next four weeks; b. Updated forecasts at least weekly, if there are large variations; c. Supply updates on a 7-day rolling basis for future weeks, after the initial four week period is complete. 2) Please build on your recent efforts to expand authorization for who can administer the vaccines and how they can reach vaccine sites efficiently by taking the following actions: a. Complete the authorization of nursing students, retired medical professionals, and firefighters to administer vaccine shots; b. Expand the use of the National Guard in delivering vaccines across the state, and charge its members with medical training to administer vaccines. 3) While you have announced a plan for the necessary $300 million to distribute vaccines and there is pending guidance from the federal government about additional vaccine distribution funding, please reassure counties that reimbursements for their role in the vaccination process will be forthcoming.
