    May 12, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Charles Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House House Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 RE: Temporarily Expand SNAP in the Next Federal COVID-19 Relief Package to Lift Up Vulnerable Families and Support Local Economies Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leaders McConnell, Schumer, and McCarthy: We, the undersigned mayors representing cities across the nation, appreciate your work on the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to help workers, employers, older Americans, and children, but much more needs to be done to ensure that our residents can weather this crisis. During this time of soaring unemployment, financial insecurity, and growing hunger, we urge Congress to temporarily increase SNAP benefit levels in the next federal COVID-19 relief package. America’s cities are on the front line of responding to unprecedented disruption to local economies triggered by COVID-19. As mayors, we need every option available to fight hunger and stimulate the economy in our cities. SNAP is a proven solution to both challenges. By providing families with a grocery benefit they can use to purchase food directly, SNAP is a safe, effective way to ensure that low-income children and their families can get the food they need during this unprecedented crisis. While the FFCRA provided USDA with authority to increase emergency SNAP allotments for existing SNAP households to the maximum benefit, the most vulnerable families—roughly 12 million people, including 5 million children—received no additional nutrition assistance because their household already received the maximum SNAP benefit.

    April 8, 2021 The Honorable Toni Atkins The Honorable Anthony Rendon Senate Pro Tempore Assembly Speaker State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Nancy Skinner The Honorable Phil Ting Chair, Senate Budget Committee Chair, Assembly Budget Committee State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear President Pro Tempore Atkins, Speaker Rendon and Budget Chairs Skinner and Ting, We appreciate your willingness to meet with us, and to continue your partnership with the mayors of our largest cities in finding pragmatic solutions to address our state’s homelessness crisis. Given the scale of the challenge we collectively face, and because of the extraordinary opportunity created by two unique circumstances--the passage of the American Rescue Plan and the state’s budget surplus--we write to revisit our prior budget request. As you know, we have long believed that the state must identify an ongoing, consistent allocation of flexible funding sufficient to meet the enormity of the challenge in our cities for affordable housing construction and supportive services. While our economic challenges make it difficult to identify an ongoing revenue source, the large amount of one-time funding presents a generational opportunity to make a dramatic move to address our homelessness crisis. That can be accomplished by setting aside a one-time allocation of $16 billion for a steady expenditure of $4 billion per year over the next four years. Through our partnership, we’ve accomplished much in our cities in recent years through such initiatives as Project Homekey, HHAP, and HEAP. We created permanent or transitional housing for our homeless at an average cost to the state of $148,000 per unit under Project Homekey, for instance, and we built prefabricated dorms, modular housing, tiny homes, and shelters even more cost-effectively with state and local dollars.

  • July 8, 2019 Governor Gavin Newsom Senate President Pro Tem Toni
    July 8, 2019 Governor Gavin Newsom Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon RE: AB 1054 (Holden) – Wildfires – CONCERNS and Request for Amendments Dear Governor Newsom, President Pro Tem Atkins, and Speaker Rendon: As mayors of three of the state’s largest cities, we believe local governments can and should play a leading role in ensuring that our electricity is safe, reliable, affordable, and clean. We support your efforts to ensure that the victims of the recent devastating California wildfires are made whole and that the state government does everything it can to reduce the likelihood and severity of future wildfires. We respectfully express our significant concerns about the July 5 version of AB 1054 (Holden), which would expand the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC’s) authority over local government decision-making when considering the acquisition of assets from an electrical corporation. This proposed expansion of CPUC authority is unnecessary to achieve the goals of the bill and would not meaningfully address the risk of future catastrophic wildfires. Additionally, this section of the bill would set a dangerous precedent by limiting local government autonomy over its own employee relationships established through locally-negotiated collective bargaining agreements. To our knowledge, this specific language was added to the bill on July 5, was not circulated to potentially impacted stakeholders, including in our cities, and had not been publicly discussed prior to being amended into the bill. AB 1054 would amend Public Utilities Code (PUC) Sections 854 and 854.2 to require a “voluntary or involuntary change in ownership of assets from an electrical or gas corporation to ownership by a public entity” to first secure authorization to do so from the CPUC.

  • N E W S Release Office of Richmond Mayor Tom Butt
    N E W S Release Office of Richmond Mayor Tom Butt Contact: For Immediate Release Terrance Cheung – Chief of Staff November 12, 2015 Office 510‐620‐6502 Cell 415‐990‐2087 Statement from Richmond Mayor Tom Butt Regarding State’s Decision to Reject Contra Costa County’s Proposal to Expand the West County Detention Facility Richmond Mayor Tom Butt issued the following statement today in response to the California Board of State and Community Corrections’ (BSCC) announcement awarding the top four large California counties that applied for jail construction grants through SB 863. Although Contra Costa County had submitted an $80 million grant to expand the West County Detention Facility, which is located within the City of Richmond, the BSCC ultimately decided to approve applications for San Francisco, Santa Clara, Alameda, and Ventura Counties but not for Contra Costa County. “We supported the expressed intent of the application, which was to provide expanded mental health, education and re-entry services,” said Mayor Tom Butt. “However, the Sheriff’s Office failed to provide a plan of how these programs would be funded at a cost of $4 to $5 million annually and a commitment to permanently close down unneeded facilities in Martinez.” This past August, the Richmond City Council adopted a resolution officially opposing the jail expansion proposal and took legal action challenging the County’s Environmental Impact Report. “The project on its face was simply a major expansion,” said Mayor Butt. “It would have made the West County Detention Facility, by far, the largest jail in the County.” The Sheriff’s Office manages the county’s three detention facilities.
