Governor Brown's Transportation Funding Plan Governor Brown’s Transportation Funding Plan This proposal is a balance of new revenue and reasonable reforms to ensure efficiency, accountability and performance from each dollar invested to improve California’s transportation system. Governor Brown’s Transportation Funding Plan Frequently Asked Questions This proposal is a combination of new revenue and reform with measurable targets for improvements including regular reporting, streamlined projects with exemptions for infrastructure repairs and flexibility on hiring for new workload. How much does this program provide overall for transportation improvements? • Over the next decade, the Governor’s Transportation Funding Plan provides an estimated $36 billion in funding for transportation, with an emphasis on repairing and maintaining existing transportation infrastructure and a commitment to repay an additional $879 million in outstanding loans. How much does it require the average vehicle owner in California to pay? • The proposal equates to roughly 25-cents per motorist per day according to the Department of Finance. The latest TRIP* study released, and subsequent article in the Washington Post, showed that Californians spend on average $762 annually on vehicle repair costs due to wear and tear / road conditions, etc. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/ wp/2015/06/25/why-driving-on-americas-roads-can-be-more-expensive-than-you-think/ A figure that should go down significantly with improved road conditions. How will the program improve transportation in California over the next decade? • Within 10 years, with this plan, the state has made a commitment to get our roadways up to 90% good condition. Today, 41% of our pavement is either distressed or needs preventative maintenance. A commitment has also been made to repair an additional 200 bridges that are in distressed condition. How does the plan ensure my tax dollars will be used for transportation improvements? • The plan includes a Constitutional Amendment to Article XIX that ensures that tax dollars will be used for transportation improvements. How does the plan hold Caltrans and local governments accountable to deliver what they promise? • The proposed legislation requires Caltrans to annually report to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) on achievement of performance targets – the CTC will then report annually to the Legislature and the CTC may withhold funds from Caltrans if funds are not being appropriately spent. Similarly, the CTC will evaluate projects submitted by cities and counties for program funding and evaluate the success of the program in reducing deferred maintenance on local roads. Finally, the State Controller will also audit local government expenditures and will recover and/or withhold funds if not appropriately spent. *The Road Information Program (TRIP) – a nonprofit organization that focuses on surface transportation. 1 Funding Governor Brown’s Transportation Funding Plan Funding the Governor’s Proposal The Governor’s Transportation Proposal would provide over $36 billion in the first decade of implementation, with an additional $879 million in early loan repayments. These investments are funded from the following sources, which would cost the average motorist about 25 cents per day, or $7 per month: New Revenue: • Road Improvement Charge – implement a new annual road improvement charge as part of vehicle registration. The charge would be $65 per vehicle, including hybrids and electric vehicles, and would raise $20 billion over ten years. • Gasoline Excise Tax – stabilize the current rate at the five-year average of 18 cents for the price-based amount, eliminating the annual Board of Equalization adjustments – the total state gasoline excise tax would be 36 cents. This tax would be adjusted annually for inflation to maintain purchasing power. Over ten years, this change would generate $5 billion. • Diesel Excise Tax – increase the current rate by 11 cents per gallon (to a total of 24 cents per gallon) and index annually for inflation to maintain purchasing power. Over ten years, this change would generate $5 billion. 2 Governor Brown’s Transportation Funding Plan Existing Revenue and Reform: • Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund – direct additional Cap and Trade auction proceeds to the Transit and Intercity Rail Program and a new Low Carbon Road Program. Funds would be appropriated through the annual budget process and over ten years would total $4 billion for the Transit and Intercity Rail Program and $1 billion for the Low Carbon Road Program. • Caltrans Reforms – Implement cost-saving reforms at Caltrans to generate $1 billion over ten years. Accelerated Loan Repayment: • Acceleration of $879 million in Outstanding Transportation Loans – would direct one- time outstanding loan repayments as follows: - $132 million for highway maintenance and rehabilitation - $265 million for the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program - $334 million for the Trade Corridor Investment Fund Program - $148 million to complete or reimburse projects programmed in the Traffic Congestion Relief Program. 3 Governor Brown’s Transportation Funding Plan ear Funding Detail 10-Y $ 2.01$ 2.01$ 2.01$ 2.01$ 2.01$ 2.01$ 2.01$ 2.01$ 2.01$ $2.01 120.1 ransportation Funding Proposal T ear #1 Y ear #2 Y ear #3 Y ear #4 Y ear #5 Y ear #6 Y ear #7 Y ear #8 Y ear #9 Y ear #10 Y 10-year 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 2021-22 2022-23 2023-24 2024-25 2025-26 total Highway User Fee: $ 0.42$ 0.42$ 0.42$ 0.42$ 0.42$ 0.42$ 0.42$ 0.42$ 0.42$ 0.42$ 4.18 Charge a $65 per vehicle highway user fee.

    2/13/2019 Lyndon LaRouche, Cult Figure Who Ran for President 8 Times, Dies at 96 - The New York Times Lyndon LaRouche, Cult Figure Who Ran for President 8 Times, Dies at 96 By Richard Severo Feb. 13, 2019 Lyndon LaRouche, the quixotic, apocalyptic leader of a cultlike political organization who ran for president eight times, once from a prison cell, died on Tuesday. He was 96. His death was announced on the website of his organization, La Rouche/Pac. The statement did not specify a cause or say where he died. Defining what Mr. LaRouche stood for was no easy task. He began his political career on the far left and ended it on the far right. He said he admired Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan and loathed Hitler, the composer Richard Wagner and other anti‑Semites, though he himself made anti‑Semitic statements. He was fascinated with physics and mathematics, particularly geometry, but called concerns about climate change “a scientific fraud.” He condemned modern music as a tool of invidious conspiracies — he saw rock as a particularly British one — and found universal organizing principles in the music of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart. Some called him a case study in paranoia and bigotry, his mild demeanor notwithstanding. One biographer, Dennis King, in “Lyndon LaRouche and the New American Fascism” (1989), maintained that Mr. LaRouche and his followers were a danger to democratic institutions. Mr. LaRouche denigrated a panoply of ethnic groups and organized religions. He railed against the “Eastern Establishment” and environmentalists, who he said were trying to wipe out the human race.

  • Jerry Brown's Brownshirt Genocidal Policy; If It Is Brown, Flush
    Jerry Brown’s Brownshirt Genocidal Policy; If It Is Brown, Flush It! by William F. Wertz, Jr. April 11—Faced with a drought in California and other Western states, which may very well last decades, Cali- fornia Governor Jerry Brown, whose own anti-nuclear power policies in the 1970s and 1980s prevented the development of nuclear desalination in California, which would have alleviated the current crisis, an- nounced a genocidal program for dealing with the drought which relies solely on conservation of dimin- ishing supplies of water. Ideologue that he is, Brown instead of blaming his own suppression of nuclear power for the current crisis, proclaimed on Sunday, April 5, on ABC News’ “This Week”: “And I can tell you, from California, climate change is not a hoax. We’re dealing with it and it’s damn serious.” In a New York Times article entitled “California Drought Tests History of Endless Growth,” published the same day, Jerry Brown is further quoted as follows: “You just can’t live the way you always have. For over 10,000 years, people lived in California, but the number of those people were never more than 300,000 or 400,000.” Thus, in contrast to his own father, former Governor Pat Brown, who fostered numerous water management projects in California, Jerry Brown is now prepared to EIRNS A pamphlet from the Will Wertz for Senate campaign in use the crisis which is a result of his own anti-science California, 1982. bias, to pursue a policy which will deliberately reduce the capacity of California and other Western states to festation of the Mediterranean fruitfly which was dev- sustain human population.

  • Governors and the Executive Branch
    I' I 1 Chapter 9 Governors and the Executive Branch Ethan Rarick The history of modem American politics cannot be written without discussing Cali~omia governors. One former governor (Ronald Reagan) went on to serve as president ofthe United States, of course, but in addition to that three others ran for president (Earl Warren, Jerry Brown, and Pete Wilson), one served as chief justice of the United States (Warren), and another was a global celebrity who could not seek the presidency only because he was a foreign-born immigrant (Arnold Schwarzenegger). The status of the office as a potential presidential launching pad caused at least two other national political figures-U.S. Sen. William Knowland and former Vice President Richard Nixon-to 'run for governor, and although Nixon lost his gubernatorial bid he ofcourse went on to eventually win the presidency. Aside from national elective politics, California's chief executive governs more Americans than anyone save the pre~ident, sits atop a state with the world's ninth largest economy, and often occupies a place on the world stage similar ta the leaders ofmiddle-sized nations. The incumbent as of 2013, Jerry Brown, is no exception to any of these trends.

This piece was pro- duced as part of the "Alabama Big Prints" project funded by ASCA and organized by Scott Stephens at the University of Montevallo to feature works by thirteen Alabama artists. This print was selected for the cover to celebrate the writings of Albert Murray, recipient of the 2003 Distinguished Artist Award. ASCA also honors the artist Richard C. Zoellner who died March 6, 2003 at the age of 94. The Tuscaloosa News wrote, "Line and color, texture and symmetry, harmony and contrast, these were the tools of his trade, and he wielded them with such deftness that his work is included in the permanent collections of many of the nation's finest museums: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern art in New York, the Philadelphia Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, the Library of Congress, and many others." Zoellner was a gifted teacher, establishing in 1945 at the University of Alabama one of only two fine art printmaking pro- grams in the Southeast.
