The 2010 Citizens United ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court rolled back the previous ban on corporate spending in federal elections, opening the door to unlimited cor- porate funds, which Allen said influences elections, candidate selection, policy decisions and public debate. Since the 2010 ruling was issued, spending by “Super PACs” – funded by organizations whose contribution limits were lifted – has reached $1 billion. More than $600 million has come from only195 donors and their spouses.

“I am elated over the news that a ballot measure on Citizens United will be going before California voters this November.”

-Congressman Ted Lieu

“People across the political spectrum are fed up with unregu- lated, unaccountable spending in campaigns,” Allen said. “They deserve to have their voices heard on what has become a destructive force in politics and our system of governance.” SB 254 is the latest step in a multi-year legislative and legal battle. In 2014, the Legislature approved SB 1272 – authored by Congressman Ted Lieu when he was a member of the Legislature – which placed a measure on the November 2014 statewide ballot identical to SB 254. However, the California Supreme Court ordered that the measure be removed from the bal- lot while they considered whether the Legislature has the authority to place “advisory” questions on the ballot. On January 4, the court issued its decision concluding that the Legislature could pose the adviso- ry question to voters because it was related to potential federal consti- tutional amendments. On Jan. 19, the Legislature filed a petition with the Supreme Court requesting that it modify its opinion and direct the Secretary of State to place the advisory question on the November 2016 general election ballot. Allen and Leno then intro- duced SB 254 to place the question on the November 2016 ballot. “I am elated over the news that a ballot measure on Citizens United will be going before California voters this November,” Lieu said. “Since the Supreme Court’s disas- trous Citizens United de- cision, which allowed corporations to make unlimited independent expenditures on political activities, we have seen the growing influ- 6 June 16, 2016 Park Labrea News/Beverly Press

The bill directed the National Park Service (NPS) to conduct a special resource study of the Rim of the Valley Corridor. The study sought to determine the feasibility of des- ignating all or a portion of the Rim of the Valley Corridor as part of the existing SMMNRA, and to under- stand how the area could be better managed and preserved. NPS began the study in 2010 and issued its final report to Congress and the public in February. Throughout the process, NPS and Schiff solicited and considered thousands of public comments. “The Rim of the Valley is the critical bridge between the urban city centers and suburbs in the Los Angeles basin and the spectacular wilderness beyond, and our bill would help protect these lands for generations to come,” Schiff said. “As more of this area is developed and open space diminishes, the wildlife it supports is increasingly at risk. Congress has the power to preserve the Rim of the Valley for generations to come, but we must act quickly or the opportunity will be gone.” The Rim of the Valley Corridor Preservation Act would expand the SMMNRA to include many of the sites included in the study. The expansion will be known as the Rim of the Valley Unit. The bill will enable NPS and the local com- munity to better protect natural resources and habitats, and to pro- vide community members with improved access to nature. “The Santa Monica Mountains are one of California’s greatest treasures,” Boxer said. “I am proud to join Congressman Schiff in introducing this bill, which will protect an additional 193,000 acres
