ON THIS ITEM.
DEBATER DISCUSSION SENATOR
WINNER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM
PRESIDENT ARE YOU KNOW I MEAN.
I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT
THIS.
ITEM TODAY.
I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR.
I AM IN NO WAY CRITICAL.
OF THE MOVE OF THIS LEGISLATION
THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE.
AND I ENCOURAGE MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
THIS BILL.
NOT TO BE CRITICAL OF THE
LEGISLATURE'S DECISION BECAUSE
THIS IS A SOPHIE'S CHOICE FOR
THIS LEGISLATURE.
BUT TO BE CRITICAL OF THE
INDUSTRY THE SODA AND HISTORY.
THAT HAS CREATED THIS SITUATION.
ON YOUR FOR ME I HAVE SPENT MANY
MANY YEARS WORKING AROUND THIS
ISSUE OF SODA TAXES AND I LED.
THE FIRST SODA TAX CAMPAIGN IN
SAN FRANCISCO SPENT A YEAR.
DEBATING THE SODA AND HISTORY
AND COMMUNITY MEETINGS.
AND WE CAN HAVE ALL SORTS OF
DEBATES ABOUT SODA TAXES AND
PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS ON
THAT I AM A STRONG SUPPORTER.
BUT WHAT IS BEFORE US TODAY IS
NOT TO SODA TAXES.
WHAT IS BEFORE US TODAY IS A
SITUATION?
THAT THE SODA INDUSTRY HAS
CREATED.
WHERE THEY WENT OUT AND FUNDED A
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT? TO
BASICALLY BURN DOWN THE HOUSE IN
CALIFORNIA.
AND MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO RAISE REVENUES
FOR POLICE FOR FIRE FOR
LIBRARIES FOR PARKS.
AND SO FORTH.
THE SODA INDUSTRY WENT AND DID
THAT.
THEY DIDN'T GO OUT QUALIFY
MEASURE.
STATEWIDE MEASURE TO BAN SODA
TAXES.
QUALIFIED A MEASURE [inaudible]
TO ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATE THE
ABILITY OF CALIFORNIA LOCAL
COMMUNITIES TO FIND BASIC
SERVICES.
THAT WAS NOT CAUSED BY THIS
LEGISLATURE.
THAT WAS CAUSED BY THE SODA
INDUSTRY.
BY COCA COLA.
BY PEPSI.
BUY SNAPPLE BY RED BULL LET'S
NAME THEM.
THESE ARE THE COMPANIES.
BETTER HAVE FUNDED A BALLOT
MEASURE TO SAY THE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES.
SHOULD HAVE AN INCREDIBLY HARD
TIME FIRE LIBRARIES CHILDREN'S
HEALTH AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
THIS INDUSTRY.
IS AIMING.
BASICALLY A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
A GOVERNMENT IN CALIFORNIA.
AND SAYING.
IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT WE WANT
WE'RE GOING TO PLL THE TRIGGER.
AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE
TO FIND BASIC GOVERNMENT
SERVICES.
THIS IS A PICK YOUR POISON KIND
OF SITUATION OF SOPHIE'S CHOICE
IF YOU WELL WHAT THE LEGISLATURE
IS DOING.
IS PERFECTLY REASONABLE.
AND I ENCOURAGE THE ADVOCACY
COMMUNITY THAT I HAVE WORKED
WITH FOR MANY YEARS.
AGAIN NOT TO CRITICIZE THE
LEGISLATURE. FOR MAKING A
PERFECTLY REASONABLE CHOICE TO
PROTECT THE ABILITY OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO FUND SERVICES
BUT TO CRITICIZE THIS ROAD
INDUSTRY.
THAT IS WILLING TO BURN DOWN THE
HOUSE TO GET WHAT IT WANTS.
AND I HOPE THAT WE HAVE A VERY
LONG MEMORY ABOUT WHAT THE SODA
INDUSTRY HAS THREATENED TO DO
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THIS
TODAY GIVEN BY HISTORY FOR A
VERY LONG TIME AROUND THIS ISSUE
THIS IS A CORE ISSUE FOR ME.
BUT I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE
REASONABLE DECISION EITHER THE
SITE AND THE ASSEMBLY I BELIEVE
WILL BE MAKING TODAY THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR WINNER SENATOR
MORNING.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS.
I STAND TO VOICE SOME OF THE
SAME CONCERNS.
OF MY GOOD COLLEAGUE FROM SAN
FRANCISCO.
AND LET ME JUST SHARE A A SOME
SHARED PERSPECTIVES.
I ALSO WOULD LEAD OFF BY JUST
UNDERSCORING THE LEGISLATURE HAS
BEEN PUT.
IN A TERRIBLY DIFFICULT POSITION
AS HAVE THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA.
IN SUPPORT FOR THIS LEGISLATION.
IS ESSENTIAL TO PROTECT THE
INTERESTS OF THE CITIES THE
COUNTIES THAT WE REPRESENT. FOR
THE REASONS STATED BY MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN FRANCISCO.
THE SODA INDUSTRY.
HAS FIGURED OUT.
HOW TO USE ITS UNLIMITED WAR
CHEST? TO PAY SIGNATURE GATHERS
TO QUALIFY MEASURE FOR THE
BALLOT.
THAT SETS UP THE CIRCUMSTANCES
THAT LEADS US TO THIS VOTE TODAY.
WHEN HIRAM JOHNSON IN THE
PROGRESSIVE MAJORITY?
DEVELOPED THE PEOPLE'S RECOURSE
OF USING A STATEWIDE BALLOT
MEASURE.
IN.
NINETEEN ELEVEN I DON'T THINK
HIRAM JOHNSON OR ANY OF THE
LEGISLATORS WHO APPROVE THAT IN
THE VOTERS TO APPROVE THAT.
CONTEMPLATED.
IT WOULD BECOME THE WEAPON IN
THE TOOL OF THE BIG MONEY
INTERESTS.
IT WOULD BECOME.
A WEAPON IN A TOOL WHERE THOSE
WITH THE WAR CHEST.
COULD MORE TACTICALLY AND
STRATEGICALLY INVEST SEVEN
MILLION TO COLLECT SIGNATURES.
INSTEAD OF THE THIRTY MILLION
THEY SPENT TO TRY TO BEAT.
A SODA TAX IN BERKELEY.
WHICH THEY LOST IN OAKLAND WHICH
THEY LOST.
IN ALBANY IN OTHER COMMUNITIES.
BUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING BY THIS
ONE IS SAYING WE CAN'T WIN AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL WITH COMMUNITY
HEALTH ADVOCATES WITH PUBLIC
HEALTH ADVOCATES.
WHO KNOW THE DANGERS?
OF SUGAR SWEETENED BEVERAGES
BEING THE LEADING CAUSE OF
INCREASE CALORIES IN YOUNG
PEOPLE WHO HAVE LED THE CHARGE
WITH THEIR ADVERTISING. TO A
RACE ADULT ONSET EIGHTIES FROM
OUR VOCABULARY.
BECAUSE IT'S NO LONGER ADULT
ONSET DIABETES.
IT'S TEENAGERS AND PRETEENS
WE'RE PRESENTING [inaudible]
PREVENTABLE DIABETES.
AND THE LEADING SOURCE OF THAT
INCREASE SUGAR INTAKE IS SUGAR
SWEETENED BEVERAGES AND IT'S NOT
JUST THE SODAS.
THAT WE GREW UP WITH IT'S NOW
THE DISGUISED IN CAMOUFLAGE
SPORT DRINKS IN SPORT TEASE THE
ALTERNATIVE TO THE SODA LOADED
WITH SUGARS.
AND TARGETED IN ADVERTISING TO
MINORITY COMMUNITIES TO NON
ENGLISH SPEAKING COMMUNITIES I
AM PRICED [inaudible]
LESS EXPENSIVELY.
THAN AN EQUIVALENT AMOUNT OF
WATER YOU CAN BUY A LEADER OF
THE SODAS AND FOR FAMILIES ON
LIMITED INCOMES AND FIXED
INCOMES.
THE ECONOMIC CHOICE.
OF THE LEADER OF SODA VERSUS A
LITER OF WATER OR MILK.
IT'S A FORCED ECONOMIC DECISION.
WELL FRIENDS I WON'T BELABOR.
THE CONCERNS OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
BUT I WILL.
WRAP UP.
WHICH IS QUESTIONING THE VERY
CYNICAL.
OPPORTUNISTIC USE OF OUR BALLOT
MEASURE.
PROCESS AND WHAT WILL BE NEXT.
WHAT SPECIAL INTEREST WILL
FIGURE OUT THEY CAN WEAPONIZE?
OUR BALLOT PROPOSITION SYSTEM.
TO THEN POSITION THEMSELVES TO
NEGOTIATE.
WITH THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND
THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA.
SUPPORT FOR THIS MEASURE TODAY.
IS A VOTE TO PROTECT OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES [inaudible]
FROM.
A BALLOT MEASURE THAT WOULD HAVE
RAISED ALL LOCAL TAXES TO A TWO
THIRDS THRESHOLD WOULD HAVE
JEOPARDIZED PUBLIC SAFETY FIRE
POLICE.
THE WHOLE GAMUT OF PUBLIC
SERVICES.
THAT WE DEPEND UPON OUR
COMMUNITIES FOR HEALTHY AND
ROBUST COMMUNITIES AND THEY'VE
DONE IT.
AT THE EXPENSE OF A GENERATION
OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WILL
CONTINUE TO BE THE TARGET.
IN THE CROSSHAIRS.
OF THEIR ADVERTISING THEIR
PRICING.
IN THEIR ABILITY TO MOBILIZE
MONEY AND RESOURCES TO DEGRADE.
THE PUBLIC HEALTH OF OUR
COMMUNITIES.
FRIENDS WERE ALL PAYING THE
PRICE OF THIS WHETHER YOU DRINK
SODAS OR NOT.
YOU LOOK AT THE RISE OF
PREVENTABLE DIABETES FULL BLOWN
DIABETES IS COSTING THE STATE
ABOUT NINE BILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR.
CURRENTLY.
AND THAT'S EXPECTED TO DOUBLE
WITH OVER HALF OUR POPULATION
NOW.
BEING PRE DIABETIC.
THE NUMBER ONE LEADING CAUSE NOT
FOUND BY POLITICIANS.
DETERMINED BY DOCTORS BY
RESEARCHERS BY CONTROLLED
STUDIES.
FROM HARVARD FROM PRINCETON FROM
MIT FROM UCSF FROM UCLA.
THEY ALL REACH THE SAME
CONCLUSION.
THESE PRODUCTS ARE DANGEROUS.
WE LABEL IN TAX TOBACCO BECAUSE
WE KNOW WHAT IT DOES.
WE SHOULD LABEL AND TAX.
THESE PRODUCTS AND LET PEOPLE
HAVE INFORMED CHOICE.
WITH THAT MEMBERS.
I WILL NOT BE GOING UP ON THIS
VOTE TODAY BUT I EMBRACE MY
COLLEAGUES WHO.
ARE HELPING OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES BY MOVING THIS
CRITICAL PIECE OF LEGISLATION
FORWARD AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
THIS LEGISLATURE STEPPING UP. TO
TAKE FURTHER STEPS THAT WE CAN
TAKE WITHIN THIS LEGISLATURE TO
PROTECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND
SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT
WE REPRESENT.
OUR OATH OF OFFICE.
IS ABOUT PROTECTING THE HEALTH
AND SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY'S
REPRESENT.
THANK YOU MEMBERS.
THANK YOU SENATOR MORNING
FURTHER DEBATE AND DISCUSSION
SENATORS CAN WORK.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS REMINDED OF THE ADAGE
FOLLOW THE MONEY.
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FINDING.
OF THE INITIATIVE DRIVE WHILE
THERE.
IS A BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE THAT'S
ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
VERY LITTLE MONEY OTHER THAN BIG
SODA MONEY WENT INTO.
THAT INITIATIVE DRIVE.
AND IT VERY MUCH REMINDS ME I
THINK IT'S REMIND ALL OF US OF
THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY'S PLAY BOOK.
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DECADES THAT
[inaudible]
ADEN RESEARCH MEDICAL EVIDENCE
OF TOBACCO'S.
NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON OUR HEALTH.
AND IT'S A DETECTIVE QUALITIES.
IT TOOK US.
YEARS TO BE ABLE TO ENACT
[inaudible]
APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION FOR
WARNINGS APPROPRIATE TAXES
INAPPROPRIATE OTHER TOOLS TO
BRING DOWN TOBACCO USE.
SO THAT WE'VE NOW BROUGHT DOWN
DEATHS WE HAVE BROUGHT DOWN
TOBACCO RELATED DEATHS.
THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY.
BUT OF COURSE WHAT IS TOBACCO
DONE NOW.
REALLY TARGETED YOUNG PEOPLE
WITH THEIR FLAVORED THINGS
INSECTS.
NOW WE LOOK TO BIG SODA.
SAME PLAYBOOK.
MARKETING TO LOW INCOME PEOPLE
AND KIDS.
THE RESULT AS MY COLLEAGUE FROM
SANTA CRUZ MENTION A PUBLIC
HEALTH CRISIS.
THAT WILL TAKE LIVES.
AND COST ALL OF US BILLIONS.
AND WE HEAR AGAIN AND AGAIN FROM
THE INDUSTRY AND FROM.
YOU KNOW PEOPLE THAT PERHAPS
HAVEN'T REALLY THOUGHT THIS
FULLY THROUGH.
THAT TAXES ON SODA [inaudible]
ARE REGRESSIVE.
THAT THEY HURT.
LOW INCOME PEOPLE THEY HURT
PEOPLE OF COLOR.
AND THEY'RE SOMETHING THEY'RE
DRIVEN BY ELITES.
WE ELITES THAT SOMEHOW KNOW
BETTER AND WE'RE GOING TO IMPOSE
OUR WILL ON LOW INCOME PEOPLE
WELL LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE
COMMUNITIES.
THAT INITIATED SODA TAXES IN
CALIFORNIA ALL OF WHICH ARE IN
MY DISTRICT.
THE FIRST SWORD ATTACKS.
CITY OF RICHMOND.
TWENTY TWELVE THIS IS A LOW
INCOME COMMUNITY NOT ENTIRELY
BUT IT IS ONE OF THE MOST
ETHNICALLY DIVERSE.
AND INCOME DIVERSE COMMUNITIES
IN OUR ENTIRE STATE.
AND THE COALITION THAT PUT THAT
TAX ON THE BALLOT IN TWENTY
TWELVE WAS MADE UP OF EVERY
COLOR IN EVERY INCOME OF PEOPLE.
AND A REAL GRASSROOTS COALITION.
IT WAS A TWO THIRDS VOTE.
THEY LOST THAT.
SO THE NEXT COMMUNITY THAT PUT
IT FORWARD.
WHAT'S THE CITY OF BERKELEY.
AGAIN DRIVEN BY [inaudible]
DOCTORS.
DOCTORS OF COLOR IN BERKELEY
THAT SAW THE IMPACT OF BIG SODA.
ONE THERE MANY MEDICARE PATIENTS.
IN BERKELEY INSTEAD TOOK THE
APPROACH OF A 50%.
A GENERAL FUND SO THAT THE THE
BALLOT MEASURE WAS ONLY 50% IT
WAS PASSED BY 70% OF THE VOTERS.
OAKLAND FOLLOWED SUIT CITY OF
SAN FRANCISCO FOLLOWED SUIT.
AND US CITY OF ALBANY IN MY
DISTRICT OAKLAND BERKELEY
RICHMOND ALBANY ALL IN MY
DISTRICT NOW RICHMOND HAS A
MEASURE ON ITS BALLOT FOR THIS
NOVEMBER.
BUT IT WILL UNFORTUNATELY BE.
NOT ABLE TO BE VOTED ON BY THEIR
RESIDENCE DUE TO THIS ACTION NOW
I SEE.
NOT TO BE CRITICAL.
OF ALL MY COLLEAGUES HERE THE
BOAT YESTERDAY THE LEGISLATURE
WAS PUT IN AN UNTENABLE
SITUATION.
WHERE?
THE REVENUES TO EVERY LOCAL
GOVERNMENT SPECIAL DISTRICT AND
IT ENTITY.
SURVIVOR.
WHEN I SAY LOCAL GOVERNMENT
BEING VERY BROAD NOW CITIES
COUNTIES SPECIAL DISTRICTS?
THE WAY THAT INITIATIVE WAS
DRAWN.
IT WOULD HAVE IMPACTED THE BILL
ALL OF THOSE TO BE ABLE TO
CONTINUE IMPORTANT REVENUES AS
MY OTHER COLLEAGUES HAVE
DESCRIBED.
AND THAT'S AN UNTENABLE
SITUATION AND IT IS OUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT THOSE
REVENUES ABSOLUTELY SO I
COMPLETELY RESPECT.
THE PASSAGE OF THIS MEASURE BUT
IN RESPECT TO MY OWN
CONSTITUENTS WHO HAVE LEAD.
THIS EFFORT TO CALL BIG SODA.
ON THIS PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS AND
TO HELP.
THANK YOU SENATOR SKINNER
FURTHER DEBATE AND DISCUSSION
SENATOR LARA.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT AND
MEMBERS THIS IS DEFINITELY. ONE
OF THE TOUGHEST VOTES I'M GONNA
HAVE TO TAKE.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW SPECIAL
INTEREST HIJACK OUR POLITICAL
SYSTEM.
BUT I WANTED TO NOTE --
JUST THE VAST AND STARK
DIFFERENCES.
THAT CHILDHOOD OBESITY GAP EXIST
WITHIN A WEALTHY COMMUNITIES AT
LOWER INCOME COMMUNITIES. TO
FURTHER DOVE TAIL THE COMMENTS
FROM MY COLLEAGUE FROM OAKLAND.
IN THE LA TIMES IT WAS NOTED.
THAT THE CITY WHERE I LIVE THE
CITY ABOUT GARDENS WITHIN ALLEY
COUNTY.
HAS THE HIGHEST RATES OF
CHILDHOOD OBESITY COMPARED TO
MANHATTAN BEACH WHO HAS THE
LOWEST AN ALLEY COUNTY.
JUST 4% OF CHILDREN VERY MORE
AFFLUENT MOSTLY WHITE MANHATTAN
BEACH ARE CONSIDERED TO BE
PERCENT OF CONCERN TO BE OBESE
24%.
THE LOWEST RATE COUNTY WIDE.
ACCORDING TO PUBLIC HEALTH
OFFICIALS AND IN MY DISTRICT A
MUCH MORE LOWER INCOME IN LATINO
ABOUT GARDENS THE RATE IS 36%.
HIGHER THAN ANY OTHER CITY AN
ALLEY COUNTY.
THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE.
OF INTELLECTUALS OR ELITES.
TRY.
TO TACKLE THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE
THIS IS OUT HEALTH CRISIS AND
ALL NO ALTHOUGH WE OFTEN TALK
ABOUT PEOPLE MAKING CHOICES AND
MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICES.
BUT IN SOME COMMUNITIES YOU
DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE FAST FOOD
RESTAURANTS AS AN OPTION?
AND SO AS WE CONTINUE TO EDUCATE
OUR PARENTS ON MAKING HEALTHIER
CHOICES WE ALSO HAVE TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE HAVE THOSE
HEALTHIER CHOICE OPTIONS IN OUR
COMMUNITIES.
AND NOT HAVING TO DRIVE OUTSIDE
OUR NEIGHBORHOODS TO DO OUR
GROCERY SHOPPING NOT RELYING ON
LIQUOR STORES FOR OUR GROCERIES.
AND SO THIS IS A MUCH MORE
COMPREHENSIVE PROBLEM.
BUT INSTEAD OF HIJACKING.
OUR POLITICAL PROCESS HERE IN
PROCESS [inaudible]
THIS IS.
SUCH A DIFFICULT ISSUE TO TACKLE
GIVEN THE FACT.
THAT IT.
IMPACTS PEOPLE OF COLOR LOW
INCOME PEOPLE.
DISPROPORTIONATELY WHO DO NOT
HAVE THE CHOICES TO MAKE THOSE
HARD DECISIONS EVEN THOUGH THAT
IS WHAT THE OPPONENTS OFTEN SAY
WELL THIS IS A CHOICE YOU HAVE
HEALTHIER MAKE HEALTHIER CHOICES
WHERE FAMILY.
BUT SOME OF US DON'T HAVE THOSE
CHOICES BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE
THOSE ALTERNATIVES IN OUR
COMMUNITIES.
AND AGAIN.
UNDERSTANDING THAT WE DON'T MAKE
LOCAL LAND USE ISSUES OR WE
DON'T MAKE DEALS AGREEMENTS ON
WHO COMES IN WHAT STORES COME IN
AT AT AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
THIS IS ALSO FOR US TO THINK
ABOUT HOW WE PARTNER WITH THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BUT I KNOW.
THE OPTIONS HERE ARE GREAT AND
WE HAVE TO SUPPORT THIS AND
WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO CONSIDER.
OTHER FINANCING ALTERNATIVES.
I JUST HOPE THAT AS WE MOVE
FORWARD WE HAVE A MORE
COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH AND HOW
WE DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE.
AND INVOLVE THE LEGISLATURE IN A
WAY THAT'S HONEST.
AND THAT'S MORE MEANINGFUL THAN
JUST PUTTING A GUN TO OUR HEAD.
THANK YOU SENATOR LARA SENATOR
MORLOCK.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT. TWO
YEARS AGO.
ANOTHER SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP
GATHERED PLENTY OF SIGNATURES TO
PUT A MEASURE ON THE BALLOT
QUALIFIED.
AND IT WOULD REQUIRE PRETTY
PROMPT RAISING OF THE MINIMUM
WAGE.
THIS SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP WAS
THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNIONS
PROBABLY THE EIGHT HUNDRED POUND
GORILLA.
IN THE ROOM.
AND IT MAY BE THAT THEY TAUGHT
US HOW TO HIJACK THE SYSTEM AND
HOW TO GAME.
THE OUR GAME TO PLAY BOOK SO
IT'S SORT OF AN INTERESTING
CONUNDRUM THAT HERE WE ARE
LOOKING AT SOMETHING SIMILAR --
WE HAVE IT LATER THIS MORNING
WITH AB THREE SEVENTY FIVE WERE
A WEALTHY INDIVIDUAL UNDERWRITES
THE SIGNATURE GATHERING CAMPAIGN.
SO TWO YEARS AGO WE HAD AN
INDIVIDUAL RATHER.
SUBSTANTIAL WHO GATHERED
SIGNATURES. TO REQUIRE THAT ANY.
LEASE REVENUE BONDING OF TWO
BILLION OR MORE BE VOTED ON BY
THE PEOPLE WE HAD OUR HEARING.
AT A FUND TO VAN NUYS TOO WHAT
IT WAS EVERYBODY WAS JUST
TOTALLY OF A FRUSTRATED WITH
THAT PARTICULAR PROPOSITION BUT
WE DIDN'T PUT UP A A COMPROMISE
BILL.
WE JUST LET THAT BALLOT MEASURE
GO TO THE PUBLIC AND WE FIGHT IT.
MANY OF YOU OUT.
IN THE PUBLIC ARENA.
AND IT FAILED.
SO I'M JUST PROBABLY MONEY JUST
CAUTION THIS BODY NOT TO LET THE
PERHAPS THE PUBLIC WILL GET.
WHAT YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT AND
THIS PARTICULAR BALLOT MEASURE?
WILL ALSO FAIL.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.
THANK YOU SIR MORLOCK FURTHER
DEBATE OR DISCUSSION DOCTOR PAM
SENATOR MCCAIN TO THANK YOU
MADAM PRESIDENT SENATORS --
I AM STANDINGS I WILL BE VOTING
FOR THIS BILL --
I'M VOTING FOR THIS BILL --
NOT BECAUSE AS A PEDIATRICIAN
AND SOMEONE WHO'S ADVOCATE FOR
PUBLIC HEALTH THROUGHOUT MY LIFE
THAT I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA
THAT THE STATE LEGISLATURE TELL
LOCALITIES AND THE CITIZENS IT
IS LIKE ALLERGIES.
THAT THEY CANNOT CONSIDER AND
DECIDE SHE'S FOR THEMSELVES WHAT
THEY WISH TO IMPOSE.
A TAX ON SODA.
OUR OTHER GROCERIES I GUESS IN
THIS CASE AS WELL.
HOWEVER.
THIS CHOICES BUT BEFORE US
BECAUSE AN INDUSTRY HAS FUNDED
EFFORT TO SEXUALLY THREATENED
ALL OUR LOCALITIES.
WITH THE ABILITY TO MAKE
DECISIONS AND CHOICES.
REGARDING FUNDING.
SO HERE IN SACRAMENTO IN MY
DISTRICT WE HAVE A MEASURE
THAT'S GOING TO BE ON THE
NOVEMBER BALLOT.
THAT'S GOING TO HELP US SUPPORT
OUR POLICE CENTERFIRE.
IT'S ALSO GOING TO HELP US WORK
WITH ARE UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES
THAT LACK OF MENTAL HEALTH WE
HAD THIS SHOOTING HERE --
I SHOULD HAVE DONE FOR TWO MORE
THAN -- ONE
AND WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S
MONEY THERE'S A LOT MORE WORK WE
NEED TO DO TO HELP THE USE OF
THAT COMMUNITY SOMETHING THAT
AGAIN SOMETHING ABOUT PUBLIC
HEALTH.
RIGHT HOW DO WE IMPROVE THE
HEALTH OF THE PUBLIC HOW DO WE
ENSURE THAT.
WE SERVE THE THAT THE PEOPLE WHO
HAVE TOO LONG BEEN ELECTED THE
COMMITTEES OF TWO LINE
COLLECTING THE COLLECTED OFF
INTO MUSIC COLOR LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES.
AND THAT THREAT IS VERY REAL.
THAT THREAT IS VERY REAL AND YES
WE COULD PERHAPS YOU KNOW WE
COULD TAKE OUR CHANCES AND HOPE
THAT WE COULD.
EDUCATE ENOUGH PEOPLE IN THE
FIELD AT THE BALLOT BOX WE ALSO
KNOW HOW CHALLENGING IT IS TO
GET A COMPLEX MORE COMPLEX
MESSAGE OUT.
WHEN SOMEONE JUST SAYS WELL I
MEAN AFTER ALL NONE OF US REALLY
LIKES PAY MORE TAXES --
BUT TO TALK ABOUT WHERE THINGS
WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO TO
TRY TO ACTUALLY MAKE OUR
COMMUNITY STRONGER AND HEALTHIER.
SO THAT'S THE CHOICE BEFORE US.
RIGHT BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE HERE
BECAUSE WE WANT TO ACTUALLY HELP
OUR COMMUNITIES MAKE THEM
HEALTHIER AND WE'RE BEING TOLD
BASICALLY WERE BEING GIVEN A
CHOICE OF SAYING LIKE WE HAVE A
THREAT. TO OUR OVERALL EFFORT
AND ACTUALLY IT'S NOT.
US HERE.
SAD THING IS ACTUALLY THERE
HOLDING OUR CITIES.
AND OUR COUNTIES AND OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES HOSTAGE.
OKAY WE OFTEN TALK A LOT ABOUT
LOCAL CONTROL HERE.
AND HOW PORN IS HAVE LOCAL
CONTROL COMMITTEE DIFFERENT
PROCESSES.
AND WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE
VOTING ON A MEASURE TO TAKE AWAY
LOCAL LOCAL OPTION.
IN EXCHANGE FOR TAKING AWAY A
THREAT THAT BASICALLY TAKES AWAY.
THREAT TO REVENUE. TO FOLLOW
KALINDI SPIEL THAT TO TO TO TO
PRIORITIZE OUR OWN DESTINY
INSTEAD OF HAVING TO ASK FOR
RESOURCES FROM THE STATE.
FROM US AND WELL FRANKLY THE
INITIATIVE WOULD IF IT HAD
PASSED WOULD GIVE US MORE POWER
ACTUALLY BY THE FALSE BECAUSE
OUR LOCALITIES WOULD BE
STRUGGLING EVEN MORE.
I'M NOT SURE THAT'S A GOOD THING
AND I'VE HEARD MANY OF YOU HERE
SAY THAT'S PROBABLY NOT A GOOD
THING.
SO GIVEN THOSE CHOICES I WANT MY
LOCALITIES TO HAVE MORE OPTIONS
I'M SADDENED THAT AIN'T GOING.
TO HAVE TO VOTE FOR SOMETHING IT
TAKES ONE OPTION AWAY IN
EXCHANGE THAT THEY CAN HAVE
OTHER OPTIONS.
AND I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT IN THE
FUTURE I APPRECIATE THE THE
WORDS OF MY COLLEAGUES THAT
MAYBE WE NEED TO LOOK AT NOT
JUST WE IN TERMS OF IN THIS
CHAMBER BUT MORE BROADLY OUR
INITIATIVE PROCESS.
WHEN WE HAVE TO MAKE WHEN WE'RE
FORCED INTO THESE KINDS OF
CHOICES AND SOME OF THEM THAT
MAYBE SOME OF US LIKE IT ONE
TIME AND OTHERS DON'T LIKE OTHER
TIME BUT MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE
THAT CONVERSATION AS WELL?
IN THE MEANTIME.
WHY PRECIADO THAT'S THE THAT'S A
PEOPLE CAN'T BE THAT PLACE I
FEEL THAT AS A PUBLIC HEALTH
CHAMPION?
THAT I AM GOING TO VOTE FOR THIS
BILL BECAUSE I NEED TO LEAVE
THAT OPTION OPEN FOR MY
COMMUNITY TO MAKE.
PRIORITIZE THEIR OWN.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PUBLIC
SAFETY CHOICES.
I OR DIVERT.
THANK YOU SENATOR PAN THE
SENATOR STONE.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT AND
AND COLLEAGUES.
AS I HEAR A LOT OF THE
DISCUSSIONS TODAY AT KIND OF
GIVES ME A TIFFANY OF A LOT OF
THOUGHTS THAT I LIKE TO SHARE
TODAY.
I'VE HEARD OF A FEW OF YOU SAY
THAT [inaudible]
OF WE ARE SUCCESSFULLY LEADING A
SPECIAL INTEREST.
I GOVERNED THE BEST INTERESTS OF
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
BASICALLY HOLDING THE STATE
HOSTAGE.
YET WE SEE THAT THE TEL IS
CONTINUING TO WAG THE DOG.
HERE IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE.
AND ALL I CAN SAY IS --
WELCOME TO MY WORLD.
BECAUSE I SEE THIS TAIL WAGGING
THE DOG DAY BY DAY.
AND THE STATE LEGISLATURE AS
SPECIAL INTERESTS --
THAT SURROUND THIS INSTITUTION.
EXERT THEIR INFLUENCE.
AND I WOULD OPINE IN MANY CASES
NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE
CITIZENS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
IT'S ALSO INTERESTING TO SEE THE
CRITICISM OF PAID SIGNATURE
GATHERERS.
TO OD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT OUR
CONSTITUTION ALLOWS THAT ALLOWS
US TO HAVE AN INITIATIVE.
BUT OF COURSE THIS --
WHEN SIGNATURE GATHERERS WERE
[inaudible]
EMPLOYED.
TO PUT THE DEVASTATING
INITIATIVES A PROP FORTY SEVEN
AND FIFTY SEVEN ON THE BALLOT --
THERE WAS NO CRITICISM ON THE
OTHER SIDE AND WE TALK ABOUT.
ALLOWING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. TO SEEK
MORE REVENUE.
AND I LOVE HOW YOU SAY MORE
REVENUE IS NOT THAT WE WANT TO
ATTRACT MORE BUSINESSES INTO
CITIES AND COUNTIES.
TO EXPAND THE TAX BASE.
IT'S FUNNY HOW.
YOU'LL REFUSED TO USE THE WORD.
TAXES TO MAKE IT EASIER OR MORE
DIFFICULT ON LOCALITIES CHARGE
TAXES WHICH MANY HAVE HAD TO DO
AS A RESULT OF PROPERTIES FIFTY
SEVEN FORTY SEVEN IN AB.
ONE OH NINE MANY OF MY US CITIES
HAVE HAD TO PUT HALF CENT ONE
CENT SALES TAX MEASURES ON THE
BALLOT.
BECAUSE THE PUBLIC SAFETY.
STATISTICS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE
CHARTS WITH HIGHER CRIME AND
THEIR ABILITY TO SPEND AS WE ALL
KNOW -- I
READ.
A LARGE PROPORTION --
TO KEEP THE PUBLIC SAFE WHICH IS
OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
WE KNOW THAT AN INITIATIVE IS
QUALIFIED FOR THE NOVEMBER
NOVEMBER BALLOT.
WHICH WILL MAKE IT HARDER FOR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO RAISE TAXES.
AND MOST OF THE TALK IN THIS
BUILDING HAS BEEN CENTERED
AROUND THE SUGARY SODA TAXES.
THAT WE'VE LEARNED WILL BE
WITHDRAWN.
IF THIS LEGISLATURE SUCCUMBS TO
THE SPECIAL INTERESTS THAT ARE
PRESSURING YOU TO DO SO.
I UNDERSTAND THE DESIRE OF THE
GROCERY INDUSTRY AND THE SODA
MANUFACTURERS. TO WANT THIS BILL
TO PASS BECAUSE THERE IS
TREMENDOUS UNCERTAINTY FOR THEM.
AND THEY DON'T WANT TO SPEND
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON A BALLOT
MEASURE THAT THEY MIGHT LOSE.
SO THEY'RE LOOKING TO CUT A DEAL.
THE GETS INITIATIVE REPEAL FROM
THE BALLOT EXCHANGE FOR PASSING
THIS BILL THAT GIVES THEM.
TEMPORARY RELIEF FROM TAX
INCREASES WITH A PROMISE.
FROM THIS LEGISLATURE THAT WE
WERE ROSE WE WON'T RAISE TAXES
ON THEM UNTIL.
TWENTY THIRTY UNDERSTANDING THAT
ANY FUTURE LEGISLATURE WEEKEND
STRAP THEM.
THEY CAN BRING FORWARD AND IF
ANYONE IS STARTING IN TWO
THOUSAND AND EIGHTEEN WE KNOW
THAT THERE'S A VERY CRAFTY
ATTORNEYS AT WORK IN.
OUR LEGISLATIVE --
COUNCIL THAT CAN CRAFT --
THE ENDPOINT. TO GET --
TO WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
BUT TO THOSE THAT ARE HERE THAT.
SUPPORT SODA TAXES.
I WANT YOU KNOW THAT I
UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING
FROM.
AND I RESPECT YOU.
AND I RESPECT YOUR ADVOCACY. FOR
WHAT YOU'VE TRIED TO DO.
BECAUSE THERE IS NO QUESTION.
AS A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.
CHILDHOOD OBESITY.
IS AN EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS NOT
ONLY IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
BUT THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES.
MY FRIEND'S CHILDHOOD OBESITY IS
TRIPLE.
SINCE THE NINETEEN SEVENTIES AND
ONE IN FIVE KIDS.
OUR CLINICALLY OBESE.
THEY'RE CONSUMING MORE ENERGY
FROM FOODS AND BEVERAGES THE
BODY USES FOR HEALTHY
FUNCTIONING.
AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.
COULD LEAD TO EXTRA WEIGHT OR
TIME TODAY'S KIDS EXERCISE LESS.
BECAUSE YOU'RE SITTING IN FRONT
OF TELEVISION SCREENS AND
PLAYING VIDEO GAMES THEY DON'T
HAVE THE ACTIVE RECREATION THAT
MANY OF YOU HAD THAT ARE AS OLD
AS I AM.
WE HAD ACTIVE RECREATION.
PROGRAMS WITHIN OUR SCHOOL
CURRICULUMS.
BUT THEY'RE ALSO CONSUMING MORE
SUGAR THAN EVER BEFORE YIELDING
THESE MORBID CONDITIONS.
CHILDREN WITH OBESITY OR HIGHER
RISK OF HAVING OTHER CHRONIC
CONDITIONS AND DISEASES THAT
INFLUENCE PUBLIC HEALTH.
THEIR PHYSICAL HEALTH.
AND BECAUSE EX PENSIVE EXPENSE.
THE NOT ONLY THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
BUT ALSO OUR COUNTIES.
THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH.
THE LARGE EXPENSE ASSOCIATED
WITH OBESITY.
CHILDREN WITH OBESITY ARE ALSO
BULLIED.
AND TEASE.
MORE THAN THEIR NORMAL WEIGHT
PEERS AND ARE MORE LIKELY TO
SUFFER FROM SOCIAL ISOLATION
DEPRESSION.
AND LOWER SELF ESTEEM.
AND THE LONG TERM A CHILDHOOD
OBESITY IS MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A
B. C. D. AS AN ADULT.
AN ADULT WITH A B. CITY HAS A
HIGHER RISK OF DEVELOPING.
HEART DISEASE TYPE TWO DIABETES
METABOLIC SYNDROME AND MANY
OTHER TYPES OF CANCER.
THE HEALTH RISKS OF DRINKS
CRAMMED WITH SUGAR IS THUS REAL.
AND NOT EXAGGERATED.
THE MULTIMILLION DOLLAR
MARKETING OF SUGARY DRINKS IS
AIMED AT YOUNG PEOPLE.
THEY'RE ALL TYPES OF MEDIA
INCLUDING TRADITIONAL AND SOCIAL
SPECIALLY.
IN LOW INCOME AREAS ESPECIALLY.
AND DENSE URBAN AREAS.
WE'VE SHOWN THAT WE CAN CONTROL.
AND LIMIT CHILDHOOD OBESITY BY
MAKING SURE OUR KIDS HAVE A
HEALTHY DIET.
THERE IS A BILL THAT WE SAW IN
THE LEGISLATURE THE ONE SUPPORT.
REFRIGERATORS AND SMALL GROCERY
STORES TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE
FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
CUTTING BACK ON HIGH CALORIE
FOODS SUCH AS FAST FOODS.
BAKED GOODS IN BANNING SNACKS
ALL THESE CAN EASILY CAUSE A
CHILD AGAIN WAY.
TALKING TO KIDS ABOUT HOW CANDY
DESSERTS AND SUGAR CARBONATED
BEVERAGES CAN CAUSE TOO MUCH.
WEIGHT GAIN.
WE GOT A BETTER ENCOURAGE OUR
KIDS TO GET OUTSIDE AND EXERCISE
INSTEAD OF SITTING BEHIND THE TV
PLAYING VIDEO GAMES OR JUST
WATCHING SHOWS.
OR CARTOONS.
I UNDERSTAND IT'S HARD FOR MANY
PARENTS WHO HAVE TO WORK TWO OR
THREE JOBS TO MAKE ENDS MEET
BECAUSE OF OUR HIGH COST OF
LIVING IN OUR HIGH TAXES.
SO THEY TURN.
TO FAST FOOD AND OTHER HIGH
CALORIC MEALS TO FEED THEIR KIDS.
BUT IF OUR CHILDREN ARE GONNA BE
HEALTHY WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE
PROPER NUTRITION AND FIND WAYS
TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A CHANCE
TO GET OUTSIDE AND PLAY.
THEY NEED TO RUN.
THEY NEED TO BE ACTIVATED TO
HAVE THINGS TO DO SO THEY DON'T.
GET INVOLVED WITH MORE REMOTE
CONTROLS OR INTERNET CONNECTIONS.
AND WHILE I DON'T SUPPORT TAXES
ON SODAS OR SUGARY DRINKS I
UNDERSTAND ALL TOO WELL WHY THEY
ARE PROPOSE.
THEY ARE PROPOSED TO MAKE SODAS
TOO EXPENSIVE. FOR POOR PEOPLE
TO BUY.
IF OUR KIDS GIVE UP SO THAT THE
BENEFITS ARE REAL.
TYPE TWO DIABETES CAN BE
REVERSED METABOLIC SYNDROME
SUPPORT OUR KIDS AT RISK.
FOR HEART DISEASE HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE.
ACCESS SUBDOMINANT FAT WILL BE
REDUCED.
HIGH CHOLESTEROL WILL BE LIMITED
ASTHMA WILL BECOME LESS OF A
PROBLEM BECAUSE OF INCREASED
LUNG CAPACITY.
AND ALL SLEEP BETTER.
THAT MEANS THE PARENTS WILL
SLEEP BETTER TOO BECAUSE OBESITY
LEADS TO SLEEP APNEA.
THE MILE CLINIC HAS TALKED
EXTENSIVELY ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE
CAN DO. TO IMPROVE HEALTH
CONDITIONS OF OUR KIDS AND THE
PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT SODA TAXES
ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
IN THEIR ARGUMENTS THAT.
WE SHOULD LIMIT THE CONSUMPTION
OF SUGAR SWEETENED BEVERAGES WE
SHOULD ENCOURAGE KIDS TO EAT
PLENTY OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
FAMILY SHOULD EAT MEALS TOGETHER
AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.
AND EATING OUT AT RESTAURANTS
ESPECIALLY A FAST FOOD
RESTAURANT SHOULD BE LIMITED.
AND WE SHOULD TRY TO MAKE SURE
THE KIDS DON'T EAT MORE THAN
THEY NEED [inaudible]
TO SO YES.
THE PROPONENTS OF SUGARY TAXES
HAVE A GREAT POINT BUT THAT
BRINGS US. TO THE K. TODAY.
HERE ON THIS FLOOR.
AN INITIATIVE HAS BEEN QUALIFIED
FOR THE BALLOT THAT WILL MAKE IT
HARDER FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
RAISE TAXES ON PEOPLE BY
REQUIRING.
A TWO THIRDS MAJORITY VOTE TO
PASS THINGS.
LIKE SODA TAXES.
THIS INITIATIVE WILL REQUIRE
SUPPORTERS AND OPPONENTS TO
SPEND TENS OF MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS TO CONVINCE PEOPLE. TO
VOTE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE.
BUT MY FRIENDS.
MORE THAN ONE MILLION PEOPLE.
SIGN THIS PETITION TO PUT THIS
MEASURE ON THE BALLOT.
INCLUDING TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND
PEOPLE IN ALAMEDA COUNTY. THIRTY
THREE THOUSAND FRESNO COUNTY
THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND KERN COUNTY.
ALMOST THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND IN
LA COUNTY SEVENTY THOUSAND IN
ORANGE COUNTY. EIGHTY THOUSAND
IN MY COUNTY RIVERSIDE COUNTY.
A HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN THOUSAND
IN SAN DIEGO [inaudible] FIFTY
THOUSAND IN SANTA BARBARA AND
VENTURA COUNTIES.
A MILLION TWELVE SEVEN HUNDRED
AND SEVENTEEN PEOPLE.
SIGN THIS PETITION WITH THE
EXPECTATION.
THAT IT WOULD BE PLACED ON THE
BALLOT.
AND THEY WOULD HAVE A VOTE.
IF THIS BILL PASSES THE GROUP
THAT ASKED PEOPLE TO SIGN THE
PETITION WILL SIMPLY WITHDRAW
THE MEASURE FROM THE BALLOT.
I'M SORRY.
BUT I THINK THAT A MILLION
PEOPLE WHO SIGNED THE PETITION
TO PUT THE MEASURE ON THE BALLOT
SHOULDN'T.
HAVE THEIR VOICES SILENCE
BECAUSE A DEAL.
HAS BEEN CUT IN THE LEGISLATURE
THE PROMISES TO NOT RAISE TAXES
ON SODAS.
THE SODA COMPANIES DON'T WANT
THIS MEASURE ON THE BALLOT
BECAUSE I THINK I HAVE TO SPEND
MILLIONS. TO PASS.
THE SPECIAL INTERESTS WHO SEEM
TO CONTROL SACRAMENTO DON'T WANT
THIS MEASURE ON THE BALLOT
BECAUSE THEY KNOW IF IT PASSES.
YOU'LL BE HARDER TO RAISE TAXES
ON PEOPLE.
THAT OUR HOME IN OUR DISTRICTS.
MANY OF WHOM ARE ANGRY.
THEIR TAX EXHAUSTED.
AND THEY KNOW [inaudible]
THAT.
THEY WILL GO TO THE BALLOT ANGRY.
AND I KNOW THAT THERE IS STRONG
CONCERNS BY THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
OF THIS GOVERNMENT.
THAT WE DON'T WANT ANGRY PEOPLE
GOING TO THE BALLOT WHEN THEY
LOOK [inaudible]
TO SEE [inaudible]
A REPEAL OF THE GAS TAXES IT HAS
BEEN A LIGHTNING ROD IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
MY FRIENDS IT'S THESE TYPE OF
BACK ROOM DEALS THAT ARE EXACTLY
WHY PEOPLE ARE ANGRY.
AND YET WE SEEM TO PERPETUATE
THIS BEHAVIOR HERE IN SACRAMENTO.
THE SODA COMPANIES PUT THE MONEY
UP TO QUALIFY THE MEASURE ON THE
BALLOT IN OVER MANY PEOPLE PUT
THEIR FAITH IN THEM TO CARRY OUT
THE BATTLE.
GIVEN OUR HISTORY AS A
LEGISLATURE CHANGING THE RULES
DOWN THE ROAD.
I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHY THE
INDUSTRY WOULD TRUST FUTURE
LEGISLATORS. TO JUST TO NOT JUST
CHANGE THE LAW BY MAJORITY VOTE
NEXT YEAR.
WHEN WE HAVE A NEW GOVERNOR?
AGAIN I'M NO FAN OF INCREASING
TAXES I DON'T LIKE THEM I DON'T
SUPPORT THEM I DON'T VOTE FOR
THEM.
BUT THIS BILL TELLS A MILLION
PEOPLE SIGNED THE PETITION TO
MAKE IT HARDER TO RAISE OUR
TAXES AT THEIR VOICES DON'T.
MATTER.
I MAY BE A SIMPLE GUY FROM
RIVERSIDE COUNTY BUT THAT JUST
DOESN'T SEEM FAIR.
IF YOU'RE CONSCIOUS LET YOU VOTE
FOR THIS BACKROOM DEAL THEN GO
AHEAD AND VOTE FOR IT.
BUT ASK YOURSELF HOW YOU EXPLAIN
THIS TO THE PEOPLE IN YOUR
DISTRICT WHO SIGNED THE PETITION.
TO MAKE IT HARDER TO RAISE OUR
TAXES. FOR THOSE REASONS MADAM
CHAIR I'M OPPOSED A BEATING
THIRTY EIGHT THANK YOU SENATOR
STONE FURTHER DEBATE AND
DISCUSSION SENATOR ANDERSON.
SANDERS I'VE I'VE LISTENED
CAREFULLY AS EVERYONE HAS SPOKEN.
AND THEY SPEAK OF THE INITIATIVE
IN IN MANY INSTANCES THEY SAY
THAT IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE
DOESN'T MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO
RAISE TAXES.
WHAT IT DOES IS IT MAKES IT?
MORE UNIFIED IN THE COMMUNITY.
YOU SEE YOU CAN STILL RAISE
TAXES TO JUST REQUIRES A HIGHER
VOTE THRESHOLD.
THAT HIGHER VOTE THRESHOLD MEANS.
THAT MEMBERS OF YOUR COMMUNITY
ARE IN AGREEMENT.
AND THEY SEE THIS AS A PRIORITY.
AND IT'S NOT JUST A BUNCH OF
FOLKS ARE HERE TODAY MOVED TO
ARIZONA TOMORROW.
THEY'RE RAISING TAXES ON THOSE.
WHO ARE GOING TO STAY HERE IN
PERPETUITY BECAUSE THEY
UNDERSTAND WHAT A GOLDEN STATE
THIS IS?
THEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BILL.
IN YES I READ THROUGH THE BILL I
CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'D
INDUSTRY WOULD WOULD WANT. TO
HAVE A FREE PASS ON TAXES FROM
LOCALITIES AND WOULD PREFER TO
WORK WITH THE STATE AS A WHOLE.
I GET THAT.
BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT IF
IT'S A GOOD POLICY FOR ONE
INDUSTRY WHY ISN'T IT A GOOD
POLICY FOR ALL INDUSTRIES.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS WITH
EVERYTHING WISE IT JUST LIMITED?
ETCETERA SO NARROWLY IF IT'S
SUCH A GREAT POLICY.
AND FINALLY.
WHILE.
I SHOULD SAY FINALLY FINALLY ON
THIS POINT.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS IT'S KIND
OF A SHAM OF A BILL?
IT ONLY TAKES TWENTY ONE VOTES.
TO UNWIND WHAT'S BEEN WOUND UP.
SO WE'RE SAYING LUCY WE TRUST
YOU WITH THAT FOOTBALL WE KNOW
THAT WE PASS IT TODAY IT'S GOING
TO STICK IN NEXT YEAR WE ARE
GOING TO BE VISITED.
BUT LET'S SAY WE DON'T WE
VISITED.
IN A FORMAT OF REPEALING THAT.
WHAT IF WE JUST RUN SOME PILOT
PROGRAMS IN GOSH WE ALL KNOW HOW
MUCH WE LOVE OUR PILOT PROGRAMS
[inaudible]
PERHAPS.
OUR GOOD FRIEND FROM BERKELEY CA
HAVE A PILOT PROGRAM ENABLING.
HER. TO GET THE SAME RESULTS IN
TAXES THROUGH STATE LAW AS
OPPOSED TO LOCAL LAW.
AND IF YOU DO THAT THAT MEANS
THOSE FOLKS.
OPPOSE THIS ORGAN BE OUTNUMBERED
BY THE ENTIRE STATE.
SO YOU CAN HAVE THE ENTIRE STATE
IMPOSING ITS WILL.
ON A SMALL COMMUNITY THAT MAY
NOT AGREE.
AND FINALLY I AGREE DIABETES IS
A HUGE ISSUE INTO A HUGE PROBLEM.
AND ARE SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES
HAVE BROUGHT UP THE FACT THAT.
THEY ARE TARGETING OF POOR
COMMUNITIES.
BUT YOU KNOW WHEN I WALK INTO
THE GROCERY STORE.
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING SAYING THAT
EBT CARDS CANNOT BE USED. FOR
SUGAR DRINKS.
IF YOU'RE REALLY TRULY BELIEVE
THAT THIS IS OUR BIGGEST ISSUE
AS YOU HAVE STATED.
THEN WHY HAVEN'T THEY HAPPEN
TARGETED WHY ARE YOU ALLOWING
EBT CARDS FOR USED AT FAST FOOD
WE KNOW THAT.
BUYING FRESH VEGETABLES FRESH
FOOD IN MEAT N. N. SERVING THEM
IN THE CORRECT PROPORTIONS IS
THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO FOR
YOUR CHILDREN [inaudible]
ANY ACT.
WE PRAY ON THE POOR BUYOUT BY
SAYING.
WE CAN MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO
USE THE EBT CARDS AND ALL THESE
PLACES THAT WE NOW.
ARE NOT THE BEST PATH FOR YOUR
CHILDREN.
IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT BY.
TAXING THE SODAS YOU GONNA SAVE
LIVES.
I WOULD SUBMIT TO YOU YOU'D SAVE
MORE LIVES IF YOU LIMIT YOUR FEW
LIMITED THE USE OF THE TEAM EBT
CARDS.
AND IT REALLY SHOWS SOMETHING
WE'RE NOT PUNISHING AN INDUSTRY
FOR SIMPLY PROVIDING A PRODUCT.
BUT WE'RE TAKING TAX DOLLARS AND
SAYING YOU MAY NOT USE THE TAX
DOLLARS TO UNDERMINE THE HEALTH
OF YOUR CHILDREN.
BUT WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT INSTEAD
WE'RE TRYING TO CUT BACK ROOM
DEALS.
WE'RE TRYING TO CUT TO THE SERB
LOCAL CONTROL.
IN FINELY.
WE'RE NOT EVEN FIGHTING TO ALLOW
THE PEOPLE TO HAVE THE BIGGEST
AND BEST VOICE THAT INITIATIVE
WOULD MEAN THAT POLITICIANS LIKE
US.
WOULD HAVE TO SHOW UP AND DO OUR
JOB.
AND WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE STRONG
POINTS THE COMMUNITY OF WHITES
IN THEIR BEST INTEREST TO VOTE
AND DISHEDALL TAX ON THEMSELVES.
AND I THINK THAT WE CAN MAKE
THOSE ARGUMENTS AND I THINK IN
THE PAST WE'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL
AT IT BUT ONLY WHEN.
IT MADE SENSE TO EVERYONE AND
NOT JUST TO A FEW.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR BATES.
THANK YOU MADAM NILE PRESIDENT

BEFORE US.
AND IF WE AREN'T ODD WE HAVE THE
TIME AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE
INPUT.
BUT THE FACT IS WE ARE PARTIES
TO THIS DEAL AND I THINK THAT'S
WHY EVERYBODY IS FRUSTRATED FOR
ONE REASON OR ANOTHER.
OUT WE ARE ELECTED OFFICIALS
ELECTED TO SERVE OUR
CONSTITUENTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE
ABLE TO HAVE INPUT.
BUT THE FACT IS WE AREN'T
PARTIES TO THIS DEAL WE WEREN'T
ASKED FOR INPUT AND WE DON'T
HAVE TIME ON OUR SIDE.
AND MAYBE THAT WAS THE POINT.
BUT BE THAT AS IT MAY AGAIN I
UNDERSTAND WHY WE ARE ALL
FRUSTRATED.
SENATE WITH A LAST SECOND BILL
AND I KNOW WE TALK ABOUT THAT
ALL THE TIME THIS ONE REALLY IS --
ARISING FROM AN OUTSIDE
AGREEMENT AND WE KNOW THERE ARE
CONSEQUENCES TO WHETHER OR NOT
IT PASSES AND REGARDLESS OF
WHICH ENTITY.
AS DEFINED BY EACH OF YOU
DIFFERENTLY IS THE EIGHT
THOUSAND POUND GORILLA.
THIS IS WHERE WE ARE.
AND SO WE HAVE TO CHOOSE WE FIND
OURSELVES TRULY BETWEEN THE
BIGGEST ROCK AND THE SMALLEST
HARD SPACE.
SO.
YOU KNOW.
WE YOU KNOW WE'VE WE'VE HEARD
THE COMMENTS OF ALL OF OUR
COLLEAGUES AND I DID LISTEN AS
WELL.
WE'RE FACED WITH A POTENTIALLY
CRIPPLING BALLOT INITIATIVE THAT
WOULD TIE THE HANDS OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ACROSS OUR STATE.
AND A COMMENT OF ONE OF MY
COLLEAGUES I DON'T EXACTLY
REMEMBER WHO AT THIS POINT BUT
TRYING TO ASSERT LOCAL CONTROL.
WE PAY ATTENTION TO LOCAL
CONTROL ALL THE TIME.
UP UNTIL WE DON'T SO.
YOU KNOW OUR CONSIDERATIONS HERE
ARE MULTI FACETED AND FOR THOSE
OF US.
WHO RECOGNIZE THAT ONE OF THE
KEY PIECES HERE IS THAT WE'VE
BEEN CUT CONTACTED BY OUR LOCAL?
OB PARTNERS WORK WHETHER IT'S
PUBLIC SAFETY CITIES OUT WE'VE
BEEN CONTACTED INDIVIDUALLY
WITHOUT TIME TO GIVE INPUT AND
TO REPRESENT THEIR INTERESTS IN
THE BEST WAY --
THE BALLOT INITIATIVE PROCESS IS
A HALLMARK OF OUR DEMOCRACY IN
CALIFORNIA FOR BETTER OR FOR
WORSE.
SOME DAYS WE SAY FOR BETTER
OTHER DAYS WE SAY FOR WORSE.
THIS CASE I THINK MIGHT BE. ONE
FOR THE PROCESS BEING THE WORST
[inaudible]
BUT IT ALSO I MIGHT REMEMBER WE
UPDATED THE INITIATIVE PROCESS
IN TWENTY FOURTEEN TO ADD THE
OPTION OF WITHDRAWING AN
INITIATIVE IN FAVOR OF
LEGISLATIVE ACTION.
THE IDEA WAS TO ENCOURAGE
COLLABORATION.
NOW WE MAY HEAR ANOTHER ITEM
LATER TODAY WHERE THERE ACTUALLY
WAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE
COLLABORATION.
THAT WAS A GOOD PROCESS.
COULD HAVE TAKEN ANOTHER DAY MAY
BUT I IT WAS A GOOD PROCESS.
RIGHT NOW --
I JOIN MY COLLEAGUES IN IN THAT
FRUSTRATION ESPECIALLY FOLLOWING
A VERY DIFFICULT WEEK.
OF OF THE WORK THAT WE ARE
REQUIRED IN THAT WE PLEDGED TO
DO WITH OUR CONSTITUENTS.
SO I'M NOT EXACTLY THRILLED TO
BE IN THIS PLACE EITHER BUT I
REALIZE THE POSITION WE ARE PUT
IN.
I REALIZE THAT THE PRIORITIES
ARE.
MAKING SURE THAT WE DON'T REMOVE
TOOLS AND OPTIONS FOR OUR
PARTNERS UP AND DOWN THE STATE
WHETHER IT'S PUBLIC SAFETY
EDUCATION.
CITIES THAT WE NOT DO THAT.
WE NOT DO THAT TODAY SO.
I AFTER MUCH CONVERSATION REALLY
AM URGING AND I VOTE.
ON A. B. EIGHTEEN THIRTY EIGHT
AND ASK YOU TO JOIN ME TO
SUPPORT THIS MEASURE TODAY.
WE WILL HAVE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.
TO MAKE CHANGES AND TO HAVE A
DISCUSSION AND WE CERTAINLY WILL
NOT FORGET.
THE POSITION WE WERE PUT IN.
AND WE WILL HAVE THAT AS AN
EXAMPLE GOING FORWARD TO SHARE
WITH OTHERS --
ABOUT THE POSITION THAT WE WERE
PUT IN TODAY BUT I DO THINK WE
ARE RESPONSIBLE TO DO THE BEST
THING FOR THE LARGEST NUMBER OF
OUR CITIES OUR COMMUNITIES OUR
CONSTITUENCIES.
AND STAKE HOLDERS YOU MIGHT CALL
SOME OF THEM SPECIAL INTEREST
BUT THEIR STAKE HOLDERS.
AND WE HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY
TO THEM.
SO UNDERSTANDING WHERE ALL OF MY
COLLEAGUES ARE COMING FROM IN
THEIR DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND
WHERE THEY ARE.
I STILL RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AND
I VOTE.
THANK YOU ALL DEBATE HAVING
SEIZED.

RAD R. YOU STATED EARLIER --
RULE FORTY FOUR JUST SO WE CAN
ALL LEARN TOGETHER COULD YOU
PLEASE READ THAT ROLF TO US SO
THAT WE ARE CLEARLY COMMUNICATED.
TO UP.
THE GERMANE PART OF RULE FORTY
FOUR READS QUOTE WHENEVER A ROLL
CALL IS REQUIRED BY THE
CONSTITUTION OR RULES OR IS
ORDERED BY THE SENATE.
OR DEMANDED BY THREE MEMBERS
EVERY MEMBER WITHIN THE SENATE
SHOW WITHOUT DEBATE ANSWER I OR
NO WHEN HIS NAME OR HER NAME IS
CALLED.
AND THE NAMES OF THE MEMBERS
SHALL BE CALLED ALPHABETICALLY.
THANK YOU THANK YOU IT ANY OTHER
FOR FURTHER AGREE SENATOR BATES.
BE MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE
DISCRETION ODD TO CLOSE THE ROLE
AND COUNT THE VOTES WAS LEFT.
TO THE PRESIDING OFFICER WHICH
IS SENATOR JACKSON.
I NEED TO ASK WHY YOU WOULD NOT
OUT.
OF A SECOND ROLL CALL SO PEOPLE
COULD OUT ON TO THIS VOTE THE IT
WAS IN YOUR DISCRETION MY
UNDERSTANDING THE CLOSER ROLE
AND IT WOULD BE I THINK GOOD FOR
ALL OF US TO HEAR WHY YOU MADE
THAT CALL.
ALL MEMBERS WERE PRESENT.
WHEN THE VOTE WAS CALLED SO
SOMETIMES WE HAVE MEMBERS WHO
ARE OFF THE FLOOR WHO ARE NOT IN
THE SIDE OF THE OFFICER WE HAVE
A NUMBER OF ISSUES TO TRY TO
ADDRESS TODAY INCLUDING ANOTHER?
ISSUE THAT.
NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY BOTH
HOUSES BEFORE THE CLOSE OF
BUSINESS TODAY AND THE DECISION
WAS MADE.
THAT WE WOULD CALL THE ROLL I'D
ASK ALL MEMBERS TO BE IN THEIR
SEATS SO THERE WERE NO
DISTRACTIONS WE DID THE VOTE
COUNT.
A AND WE CLOSE THE ROLE SO THAT
WE CAN MOVE ON WITH THE OTHER
PRESSING BUSINESS THAT'S BEFORE
US TODAY.
MEMORY SERVES ME MADAM CHAIR
THAT IN THE PAST YOU HAVE MADE
IT VERY CLEAR ODD THAT THERE
WOULD BE. ONE CALL.
EVERYBODY NEEDS TO BE PRESENT
ARE OR THERE WOULD BE YET
ANOTHER CALL AND ON THIS
OCCASION YOU DID NOT MAKE IT
CLEAR TO THE MEMBERS WHO ARE ON
THE FLOOR.
THAT THERE WOULD BE ONLY ONE
ROLL CALL AND I THINK THAT WAS
REALLY A DERELICTION OF THE DUTY
OF THE PRESIDENT.
ARE PRESIDING AT THE TIME THIS
IS UNPRECEDENTED.
IN I THINK THAT IT FALLS ON YOUR
SHOULDERS OUGHT TO MAKE IT RIGHT
AND I DON'T THINK YOU MADE IT
RIGHT BY CLOSING THE ROLL AND
PROHIBITING PEOPLE FROM
EXPRESSING THEIR VIEWS AFTER
THEY'D HEARD THE DEBATE WHICH
WAS GOING ON AND IT WAS STILL
VERY MUCH ALIVE.
AT THE TIME YOU STARTED THE ROLL
CALL SO I JUST WANT IT ON THE
RECORD THAT THIS IS
UNPRECEDENTED IT VIOLATES WHAT I
CONSIDER TO BE A BIPARTISAN.
STANDARD FOR THIS HOUSE AND ART
SHOULD BE RECORDED AS SUCH IT'S
NEVER BEEN OFF THE IN MY AND I
HAVE SERVED SIX YEARS IN THE
ASSEMBLY AND FOUR YEARS HERE
WE'RE TALKING TEN YEARS.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS OF THIS MAGNITUDE
SHORT OF WHEN ALL MY COLLEAGUE
WAS DRAGGED OFF THIS FLOOR WHERE
YOU HAVE BASICALLY INTERRUPTED
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A
DEMOCRATIC PROCESS IN PRESIDENTS
OF THIS HOUSE.
THANK YOU AND TO CORRECT THE
RECORD.
DEBATE ALL DEBATE HAD CONCLUDED
WE HAD A FULL AND ROBUST DEBATE.
THE VOTE WAS TAKEN.

FOLLOWED SENATOR NIELSEN. TO

THE END AFTER WE'VE COMPLETED
OUR BUSINESS OF THE DAY.

THANK YOU [inaudible]
MOVING ON THERE IS A COMMITTEE
REPORT AT THE DESK MISTER
SECRETARY PLEASE READ.
ISN'T.
THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
TO WHICH WAS REFERRED TO SOME OF
THE THREE SEVENTY FIVE REPORTS
THAT THE BILL BE BE RETURNED TO
THE SENATE FLOOR FOR
CONSIDERATION.
BILL ORDERED TO THIRD READING.
MEMBERS WE WILL MOVE TO FILE
ITEM TWO FORTY SEVEN AB THREE
SEVENTY FIVE BY SENATOR
HERTZBERG.
MISTER SECRETARY PLEASE READ
ASSEMBLY BILL THREE SEVENTY FIVE
BY SEVEN MEMBERS SHALL ENACT
WILLING TO PRIVACY [inaudible]
SENATOR HERTZBERG.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.
AND THANKS TO THE AUTHOR OF THIS
MEASURE.
THE CHAIR OF THE PRIVACY
COMMITTEE AND THE CO AUTHOR
SENATOR DODD. FOR THEIR
EXTRAORDINARY WORK ON THIS
EXTRAORDINARY MEASURE.
VERY BRIEFLY THIS IS THE
CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT
OF TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHTEEN IT
STATES IN SUMMARY. WON THE RIGHT
TO ACCESS PERSONAL INFORMATION.
TO THE RIGHT TO DELETION OF
PERSONAL INFORMATION.
THREE I THINK MADAM CHAIR CAN I
GET IT MA'AM.
ANCIENT PARTY WAS THANK YOU.
THREE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT
PERSONAL INFORMATION IS BEING
COLLECTED ON EVERYONE FOR THE
RIGHT TO KNOW WHETHER PERSONAL
INFORMATION IS SOLD OR DISCLOSED.
FIVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO TO THE
SALE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION SIX
THE RIGHT TO EQUAL SERVICE AND
PRICE.
IT INCLUDES ENFORCEMENT
PROVISIONS BY CONSUMERS AND BY
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
THAT IS WHAT THEY COULD
CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT
DOES [inaudible]
THERE IS.
AT THE CORE OF WHO WE ARE IN
NINETEEN SIXTY FIVE JUSTICE
DOUGLAS SET FORTH THE NOTION OF
THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY SOMETHING
THAT NEVER EXISTED IN THE
CONSTITUTION.
WE THE VOTERS OF CALIFORNIA
INCLUDED THAT RIGHT IN OUR
CONSTITUTION IN.
NINETEEN SEVENTY TWO BUT IN THE
DAY OF THE INTERNET IT MEANS A
LOT SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT.
IT MEANS THAT WHEN YOU WALK
AROUND WITH ONE OF THESE DEVICES
PEOPLE CAN LOOK AT YOUR HEART
RATE.
OR DETERMINE HOW MANY STEPS
YOU'RE MAKING.
OR WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
THERE'S A WHOLE NEW MEANING OF
WHAT PRIVACY IS ABOUT IN THIS
ERA OF THE INTERNET.
AND SO AS WE HAVE GRAPPLED WITH
THIS ISSUE OVER THE YEARS.
AS HAS OTHER PARTS OF THE GLOBE
GRAPPLED WITH THIS ISSUE IN THE
E. U. WITH THE GDP ARE.
WE IN CALIFORNIA ARE TAKING.
A LEADERSHIP POSITION WITH THIS
BILL.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S A QUESTION
THAT THIS WILL BE THE MOST FAR
REACHING PRIVACY BILL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
AS THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT
CANNOT GET ITS.
ACT TOGETHER SO TO SPEAK.
AND I THINK THAT THIS WILL SERVE
AS AN INCH ROSS THE COUNTRY FOR
OTHER STATES TO STEP UP.
AND MAYOR SIMILAR PROVISIONS.
ISN'T PERFECT.
IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH IT GOT
HERE PERFECT.
WAS THE PROCESS INFORMED BY THE
LAST DEBATE AS WE BALANCE OUT
HIRING JOHNSON'S VISION OF WHAT
THE INITIATIVE PROCESS WAS ON
THE OTHER ON ONE HAND AND THE
ABILITY WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN
THE CONSTITUTION UNTIL.
NINETEEN SIXTY SIX OF THE
ABILITY OF THE LEGISLATURE TO BE
INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS.
THEY WERE INVOLVED IN THIS
PROCESS THE PROPONENT WAS IN MY
JUDGMENT QUITE REASONABLE TO
DEAL WITH.
IS CHALLENGING FOR THE NORMAL
INTEREST GROUPS TO ENGAGE IN
THIS DEBATE.
BUT WE HAVE MET THAT CHALLENGE
THE AUTHORS OF THIS MEASURE.
BY PUTTING A DOLLAR A YEAR
DELAYED IMPLEMENTATION.
THE OPPONENTS WHO SAID THAT
DON'T WE DON'T REALLY LIKE THIS-BILL BUT IT'S BETTER THAN THE
INITIATIVE.
BECAUSE THE INITIATIVE TAKES
AWAY FROM THE LEGISLATURE THE
ABILITY TO ENGAGE IN THE DEBATE.
BUT I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THERE'S
VERY FEW ISSUES THAT EXIST THAT
WE DEBATE EVERY DAY THAT IS MORE
DYNAMIC THAN PRIVACY WHY BECAUSE
IT'S CHANGING WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN WITH ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE
LEARNING.
AND ALL OF THE NEW CHALLENGE
THAT WE HAVE JUST FACED IN THE
LAST FEW YEARS IN DEFINING WHAT
PRIVACY MEANS THAT JUSTICE
DOUGLAS NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT.
IT NEEDS TO BE PART OF THIS
PROCESS WE HAVE BROUGHT THIS IN
THIS PROCESS WE HAVE INCLUDED TO
MAKE ADDITIONS CORRECTIONS
DELETIONS AND WHATEVER THINGS
WE'VE GOT TO DO GOING FORWARD
WHICH WILL HAPPEN NOT JUST NEXT
YEAR.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THIS
CONTINUE DEBATE?
AND SO WITH THAT I WANT TO THANK
THE PROPONENT FOR THIS I
CERTAINLY WANT TO THANK THE
LEADERSHIP OF THIS HOUSE THE PRO
TEM. FOR SHE'S BEEN INVOLVED IN
THIS FOR THREE MONTHS.
WORKING TRYING TO HELP BRING THE
PARTIES TOGETHER IN MANY WAYS
THAT.
SHE'S BEEN DOING.
I WANNA THANK THE LEADERSHIP OF
THE OTHER HOUSE IN THE CO
AUTHORS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE
STAFFS FOR A LOT OF NIGHTS AT
FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AND
ALL THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT
ULTIMATELY.
HAPPEN AND I WANT TO THANK THE
DESK FOR STAYING OPEN LATE DOING
ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY DO. TO
MAKE THIS THING HAPPEN.
SO WITH THAT I WANT TO KEEP IT
SHORT GIVEN THE TIME WE'RE
SUPPOSED TO TAKE THIS UP AN HOUR
AGO WE'VE GOT TO GET IT TO THE
OTHER HOUSE WERE UP AGAINST A
TIME LINE.
BUT I THINK THAT.
YOU KNOW WE HAVE PASSED A LOT A
LOT MEASURES OVER THIS.
TIME INDIVIDUALLY MY TIME IN THE
PERFECT.
BUT THIS IS A GIGANTIC MOVE
FORWARD A GIGANTIC MOVE FORWARD
HAS EXTRAORDINARY ADDITIONS TO
HELP AND PROTECT KIDS THE DEALS
OF THE CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA ISSUE.
THAT DEALS WITH THE RIGHT TO
DELETION AND SO MANY THINGS THAT
DID NOT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE
UNDERLYING INITIATIVE IT IS THE
RIGHT.
THE PROPER AND A VERY IMPORTANT
THING TO DO FOR CALIFORNIA I ASK
FOR YOUR I VOTE.
THANK YOU SENATOR HERTZBERG
CENTER BATES REPUBLICAN CAUCUS
IN THE COX LOUNGE
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS IN THE
COX LOUNGE.

LOUNGE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS IN THE

WE CAN HAVE ALL
MEMBERS TO THE FLOOR THE
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS HAS ENDED AND
THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS HAS ENDED
.
OUR MEMBERS WE TO DEBATE AND
DISCUSSION ON THE BILL SENATOR
JACKSON.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT
COLLEAGUES AS THE CHAIR OF THE
SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE AND
AS SOMEONE WHO.
BELIEVES THE INTEGRITY OF THE
INALIENABLE RIGHT TO PRIVACY IS
DIRECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA.
IS SO CRITICAL I RISE.
IN SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE WHICH
IS CERTAIN SERIOUS.
CONCERNS AND RESERVATIONS THAT I
HOPE WILL BE ADDRESSED IS THIS
ITEM GOES FORWARD THERE'S NO
NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS
THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE
INITIATIVES WE HAD A LITTLE TIME
TO TRY.
TO DEBATED BUT WITH THE SWORD OF
DAMOCLES OVER OUR HEAD WITH A
BALLOT INITIATIVE IN THE
LIKELIHOOD OF A HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS.
BEING SPENT.
TO TRY TO UNDERMINE WHAT THIS.
MEASURE CALLS FOR WHICH IS
PRIVACY AND TRANSPARENCY I STAND
IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL WILL GO
A LONG WAY TOWARD PUTTING
CONTROL BACK INTO THE HANDS OF
CONSUMERS WHEN IT COMES TO OUR
PRIVATE INFORMATION.
AND WE KNOW WHAT THE WIDESPREAD
COLLECTION OF ALL FOUR FORMS OF
PERSONAL INFORMATION IT IS A
CRITICAL TIME THAT WE MOVE ON
THIS ISSUE.
THE BILL WILL EMPOWER EVERY
CONSUMER WHATEVER DATA COMPANY
IS COMPILED ON THE CONSUMER
REQUIRING BUSINESSES TO COLLECT
AND SELL THAT DATA TO PROVIDE
CERTAIN DISCLOSURES AND WOULD
ALLOW CONSUMERS TO PUT A HALT.
TO SUCH SALES HOWEVER AS I
MENTIONED THERE ARE SOME
SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH THIS
BILL THE MOST IMPORTANT OF WHICH
IS THE SECTION ALLOWING
BUSINESSES. TO OFFER A DIFFERENT
PRICE.
RATE LEVEL OR QUALITY OF GOODS
AND SERVICES IN EXCHANGE FOR
THEIR PRIVACY.
AND ALTHOUGH I THINK AS I
MENTIONED THERE ARE SOME VERY
IMPORTANT ITEMS IN ELEMENTS TO
THIS BILL.
I BELIEVE THIS PATH TOWARD TO
PAY FOR PRIVACY IS A DANGEROUS
AND SLIPPERY SLOPE WE CANNOT GO
DOWN A ROAD WHERE OUR
INALIENABLE RIGHTS.
COME AT A PRICE.
I THINK THE ROLE OF THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL BE CRITICAL TO THE
IMPACT OF THIS BILL BECAUSE WE
NEED REGULATIONS TO ENSURE THE
INTENT OF THIS BILL. TO PROVIDE
STRONG CONSUMER PROTECTIONS AS
EFFECTUATE IT AND THEREFORE WE
NEED TO ENSURE THAT THE AGE SHE
GETS THE RESOURCES.
IT NEEDS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS
BILL IS PROPERLY IMPLEMENTED BUT
OVERALL I BELIEVE THIS BILL
REPRESENTS A GIANT LEAP FORWARD
ON PRIVACY AND I FOR ONE CANNOT
WAIT TO FIND OUT WHAT
INFORMATION GOOGLE.
HAS BEEN KEEPING ON ME AND WITH
THAT I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR IPHONE.
THANK YOU SENATOR JACKSON CENTER
ANDERSON.
CENTERS ARE I RISE IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL FOR A NUMBER OF
REASONS.
ONE I WANT TO THANK THE
INITIATIVE PROCESS FOR FORCING
THE HAND OF THE LEGISLATURE TO
DO WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE DONE
YEAS AGO.
WE KNOW THAT PRIVACY IS AN
IMPORTANT ISSUE AND YET WE CHOSE
TO IGNORE IT BECAUSE OF THE
CONTROVERSY INVOLVED.
AND THAT LACK OF LEADERSHIP WAS
STRENGTHENED BY THE INITIATIVE
PROCESS THAT BROUGHT YOU TO THE
TABLE TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT.
NOW I I LIKE PRIVACY AND I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT AND I GO
[inaudible]
HOWEVER [inaudible]
TECHNOLOGIES CHANGE.
TECHNIQUES AND MARKETING CHANGE
AND ASK THE FALL WE NEED THE
FLEXIBILITY TO ADDRESS THOSE
ISSUES AS THEY COME.
FOR THE INITIATIVE PROCESS WHILE
IT'S A GREAT HAMMER TO FORCE THE
LEGISLATURE TO DO ITS JOB WHEN
IT FAILS. TO STEP UP AND SHOW
LEADERSHIP.
THIS IS A MUCH BETTER PATH
BECAUSE IT ALLOWS THE
FLEXIBILITY THAT THE INITIATIVE
PROCESS DOESN'T DO.
AND HAD.
WE HAD LEADERSHIP EARLIER AREN'T
WE COULD'VE ADDRESS THESE ISSUES
SO IT NEVER HAD TO GO TO THE
INITIATIVE PROCESS TO START WITH
BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE DONE OUR
JOBS AND SHOW LEADERSHIP.
AS OPPOSED TO OPPOSED TO US
ALLOWING OTHERS TO LEAD US.
BUT HAVING SAID THAT.
THIS BILL WILL GIVE US THE
FLEXIBILITY IN MOVING FORWARD.
TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES OF NEW
TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CHALLENGES
OF NEW MARKETING TECHNIQUES ARE
URGING ARGO.
THANK YOU SENATOR ANDERSON ANY
FURTHER DEBATE OR DISCUSSION

A EXCUSE ME SENATOR DODD.
PRESIDENT MEMBERS EARLIER THIS
YEAR I INTRODUCED THE S. B.

WHAT IS THE QUESTION I WOULD
LIKE TO USE THE RESTROOMS ARE WE
NEED TO KNOW WILL YOU BE GOING
TO THE ROLE ONCE OR TWICE ON
THIS INTO I WILL HAVE THE
APPROPRIATE TIME TO USE THE
RESTROOM?
CENTER ANDERSON WE NEVER LIKE TO
PROHIBIT ANYONE FROM USING THE
REST FROM I DON'T WANT.
TO GO AND USE IT AND THE NEXT
TIME IF YOU HAVE THAT INCREASE
YOU MAY BRING IT UP HERE RATHER
BUT POTENTIALLY DAMAGING IS THIS
PARLIAMENTARY PARTIES WILL BE
GOING THROUGH THE ROLE ONCE OR-TWICE ON THIS PARTICULAR VOTE.
WE WILL GO THROUGH THE ROLE ONCE.
OKAY.
IN YOU THINK THERE'S ENOUGH TIME.
WE WILL MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON THE
FLOOR SENATOR THANK YOU.
WE ALL APPRECIATE BATHROOM HUMOR
BEFORE THE SENATE OF THE GREAT
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE SENATOR
FIGHTING ACTION.
WHEN PRESIDENT MEMBERS?
THE BETTING SYSTEM OF THE SENATE
RULES COMMITTEE HAS FAILED US
ONCE AGAIN.
THE SENATE HAS A FULL YEAR TO
PLAN A CONFIRMATION OF AN
APPOINTEE.
YET FOR MS TURNER THE RULES
HEARING DIDN'T HAPPEN TILL
YESTERDAY AND HER NOMINATION WAS
RUSHED TO THE FLOOR THIS MORNING
BECAUSE A YEAR ENDS NEXT WEEK.
MIGHT AS WELL SKIP THE HEARING
NEXT TIME AND JUST USE A RUBBER
STAMP.
VERTICALLY WHEN IT'S A LAME DUCK
APPOINTMENT LIKE THIS.
ONE MISSION OR TURNER IS VOTING.
EVERY WEEK TO LET 50% OF THE
VIOLENT MURDERS AND KIDNAPPERS
OUT OF PRISON.
ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT MAKE WHO
ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT MAKES ARE
QUALIFIED WILL GOOD LUCK EXPLAIN
THAT YOUR CONSTITUENTS ORIGINAL
BOOK.
THANK YOU SENATOR VIED ACT IS
THERE ANY FURTHER DEBATE OR
DISCUSSION [inaudible]
SENATOR MITCHELL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM
PRESIDENT I RISE IN SUPPORT OF
MISS TURNER'S.
ON CONFIRMATION YET AGAIN.
I AM A FORMER RULES COMMITTEE
MEMBER AND WAS ON THE RULES
COMMITTEE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
VOTE FOR HER.
ALL WHEN SHE CAME UP FOR
CONFIRMATION PREVIOUSLY.
ARE HER ORIGINAL PLAN TO DATE
WAS TWENTY ELEVEN SO HE SERVED
IN THIS CAPACITY WITH
DISTINCTION FOR A GREAT NUMBER
OF YEARS.
I'M SORRY MY COLLEAGUE FROM TO
HIM IT DIDN'T GO INTO DETAILS IN
TERMS OF WHAT THE SPECIFICS WERE --
THEY WERE RAISED ABOUT HER THE
QUALITY OF HER WORK PRODUCTS SO
THAT MAYBE WE ALL COULD COULD BE
BETTER INFORMED.
THERE WERE MULTIPLE WITNESSES AT
THE HEARING YESTERDAY WITNESSES
WHO ARE INFORMED DIRECTLY ABOUT
HER WORK WHO SPOKE IN SUPPORT.
SO SINCE I DON'T KNOW THE WHAT
THE SPECIFIC OPPOSITION IS I'M
GONNA HAVE TO BASE MY COMMENTS
OFF OF ASSUMPTION.
AND BASED ON PAST COMMENTS HAVE
BEEN MADE ON THIS FLOOR WITH
REGARD TO CONCERNS RAISED BY MY
COLLEAGUES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE AISLE AROUND CONFIRMING
PEOPLE TO THE BOARD OF PAROLE
HEARINGS.
ON PEOPLE TEND TO LOOK AT THE
GRANT OF PAROLE RATES AND MAKE
JUDGMENTS ABOUT THE JOB PEOPLE
ARE DOING ADS PAROLE BOARD
MEMBERS.
AND THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
RENT RATES CAN VARY
SIGNIFICANTLY AMONG
COMMISSIONERS IN PART THIS COULD
BE RELATED TO WHICH PRISONS
COMMISSIONERS ARE ACTUALLY
ASSIGNED TO FOR EXAMPLE.
WHEN ONE GRANT ONE COMMISSION
WAS ASKED ABOUT HIS RATE HE SAID
HIS FIRST SIX MONTHS WERE SPENT
A PRIMARILY LOW LEVEL PRISONS
WHERE ONE WOULD EXPECT THE GRANT
RATE TO BE HIGHER?
SOME COMMISSIONERS HE SPECULATED
COULD HOLD MAY HERE OF THEIR
HEARING THAT HIGH SECURITY
PRISONS.
SO WITHOUT A SPECIFIC ANALYSIS
OF EACH COMMISSIONER BY
INSTITUTION AND EVEN BY YARD
WITH THE NEEDS IT WITHIN EACH
INSTITUTION.
IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT AND I
WOULD ARGUE UNFAIR TO DETERMINE
WHETHER GRANT RATES VARY AMONG
COMMISSIONERS AND WHEN THEY'RE
CONDUCTING HEARINGS OF SUCH AS
OPPOSED TO WHEN THEY'RE
CONDUCTING HEARINGS OF SIMILAR
TYPES OF INMATES.
GIVEN THAT FOOTNOTE LIMITED THAT
MISS TURNER'S GRANT RATE HAVING
CONDUCTED TWO THOUSAND ONE
HUNDRED ONE HEARINGS.
HER GRANT RATE IS TWENTY NINE
POINT 4%.
AND WHEN I LOOK AT THAT COMPARED
TO THE OTHER SERVING HE'S RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE.
OF THE HEAT.
NOT TOO MANY.
NOT TOO FEW.
THOUGHT AGAIN I'M SORRY THAT WE
DIDN'T HEAR THE SPECIFIC REASONS
WHY OUR COLLEAGUES HAD CONCERNS
ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR
COMMISSIONER.
ALL I STAND HAVING HEARD HER
HAVING TALKED TO HER HAVING
LISTENED TO THE MULTIPLE
WITNESSES WHO SPOKE IN SUPPORT
AND HEARD THEIR ARGUMENTS WHY.
I STAND IN SUPPORT OF RE
APPOINTEE MISS --
TURNER TO THE BOARD OF PAROLE.
THANK YOU SENATOR MITCHELL
FURTHER DEBATE SENATOR ROTH.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT --
I'M A BIT CONCERNED ABOUT THE
CRITICISM OF THE RULES COMMITTEE
PROCESS.
AND THE COMMENTS THAT TEND TO
DENIGRATE THE WORK THAT WE DO.
IN THE RULES COMMITTEE I'M A
RECENT APPOINTEE TO THAT
COMMITTEE.
AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE
STAFF WERE VERY VERY HARD.
IN EXPLORING THE QUALIFICATIONS
AND EXPERIENCE OF THOSE
APPOINTED.
BY THIS IT BY THE ADMINISTRATION
TO POSITIONS OF SIGNIFICANCE IN
THE STATE AND I CAN ALSO ASSURE
YOU THAT THOSE OF US WHO SIT ON
THE RULES COMMITTEE.
DO NOT TAKE ANY OF THIS PROCESS
SLIGHTLY.
THE USE OF THE TERM RUBBER STAMP
FRANKLY IS OFFENSIVE TO ME.
WELL WITH REGARD TO THE ACTIONS
AND ACTIVITIES OF THE RULES
COMMITTEE.
I VIEW THE JOB OF THE RULES
COMMITTEE AND CERTAINLY MY JOB
AS A MEMBER OF THAT RULES
COMMITTEE TO EXAMINE APPOINTEES
TO POSITIONS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
AND TO ASCERTAIN WHETHER
APPOINTEES HAVE THE REQUISITE
BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE TO
PERFORM THE JOB.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I
NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THE
APPOINTMENT.
BUT I NECESSARILY WILL VOTE IN
FAVOR OF THE APPOINTMENT WHEN IT
COMES TO THE FLOOR BUT MY JOB IS
TO MAKE SURE THAT.
INDIVIDUALS WHO PASSED THROUGH
THE RULES COMMITTEE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BE PRESENTED ON
THE FLOOR IF THEY HAVE THE
REQUISITE BACKGROUND AND
EXPERIENCE.
SO EACH OF YOU.
MY COLLEAGUES MY COLLEAGUES ON
THE LEFT.
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE
THESE INDIVIDUALS UP OR DOWN.
AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DID
IN THIS CASE I'M PROUD OF THE
WORK THAT THE RULES COMMITTEE
HAS DONE AND CONTINUES TO DO --
AND I WILL ALLOW THIS VOTE TO
OCCUR -- AS
AND IT WILL HAPPEN AS IT HAPPENS
WITH RESPECT TO THIS PARTICULAR
APPOINTMENT SO THANK YOU MADAM
PRESIDENT.
THANK YOU SENATOR ROTH.
OF THE SENATE SENATORS PRESIDENT
PRO TEM.
THANK YOU I I THINK MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE ADEQUATELY
RESPONDED THE ONLY THING I COULD
POSSIBLY ADD ON THIS PARTICULAR
APPOINTMENT.
IS THAT THE CORRESPONDENCE IN
THE COMMENTS WE GOT FROM
COLLEAGUES IN PARTICULAR --
ARE GOOD COLLEAGUE FROM HANFORD.
CAUSED US TO TAKE EXTRA TIME WE
ACTUALLY I HELD THIS APPOINTMENT
OVER.
OF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME SO THAT
WE COULD REEVALUATE THE NUMBERS
WE WERE GIVEN ONE PERCENTAGE AND
WE WENT BACK AND WE LOOKED AT
THE RECORD AND AS POINTED OUT I
THINK ALREADY POINTED OUT TURNER
WAS ACTUALLY RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.
OF THE RIGHTS OF ALL OF HER
COLLEAGUES WHEN YOU LOOK AT TWO
WERE HIRED TO WERE LOWER.
OUT ONE COMMISSIONER HAD A RATE
OF THIRTY EIGHT POINT 5% IT WAS
NOT A POST ON THIS FLOOR.
SO I THINK AS AS MY COLLEAGUE
FROM LOS ANGELES SAID THERE IS
ACTUALLY MORE COMPLEXITY IN
TERMS OF HOW YOU EVALUATE.
THIS BUT WE LOOKED AT IT BECAUSE
OUR YOU KNOW THESE ARE IMPORTANT
APPOINTMENTS THIS IN PARTICULAR
IS VERY.
IMPORTANT AND WE WANTED TO TAKE
A GOOD LOOK AND WE DID AND WE
HELD IT OVER AND WE TOOK
ADDITIONAL TIME.
SO -- I'D
LIKE MY COLLEAGUE FROM RIVERSIDE
FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT THE
PROCESS ARE BUT I UNDERSTAND
THAT PEOPLE HAVE A VOTE ON THIS
FLOOR AND WILL VOTE THE WAY THEY
NEED TO VOTE BUT I FEEL VERY
CONFIDENT.
IN THE VOTE FOR THIS PARTICULAR
CANDIDATE MS TURNER BECAUSE I
DID THE EXTRA WORK PERSONALLY
AND ON BEHALF OF THE RULES
COMMITTEE I URGE AND I VOTE.
THANK YOU ALL DEBATE HAVING
SEIZED AND COLLEAGUES.
UPON FURTHER DISCUSSION OF WE
