FILE ITEM.
FOURTEEN SENATE BILL FIVE THIRTY
ONE MESSENGER GLAZER AN ACT
RELATING TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT
GOOD MORNING SENATOR THE FLOOR
IS YOURS.
I THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS -- SB FIVE THIRTY ONE
SIXTY AND A PERVERSE INCENTIVE.
IN OUR CURRENT TAX CODE THAT IS
LED LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO GIVE
AWAY.
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAX
REVENUE TO PRIVATE CORPORATIONS.
THESE DEALS TAKE MONEY FROM
EVERY CITY IN THE STATE.
AND GIVE IT TO SOME OF THE
RICHEST CORPORATIONS IN THE
WORLD.
THAT'S JUST WRONG.
UNDER BRADLEY BURNS UNIFORM
LOCAL SALES TAX LAW.
SALES TAX REVENUE IS ALLOCATED
TO THE POINT OF SALE. FOR BRICK
AND MORTAR STORES THIS MEANS
ALLOCATING THE REVENUE TO A
JURISDICTION THE STORE IS
LOCATED IN.
AND WE'RE ALL VERY FAMILIAR WITH
THAT.
ONLINE RETAILERS HOWEVER.
HAD HE ABILITY TO CHOOSE WHERE
THEY ALLOCATE SALES TAX REVENUE.
THE DATA WAREHOUSE THE
DISTRIBUTION CENTER EVEN A SALES
OFFICE.
THIS ALLOWS CORPORATIONS TO
DIRECT REVENUES TO A SINGLE
JURISDICTION IN THE STATE.
NOW CORPORATIONS USE THIS
LEVERAGE WHEN NEGOTIATING TO
LOCATE THEIR BUSINESS SOMEPLACE
IN CALIFORNIA.
THIS RESULTS IN A RIGGED PROCESS.
DRIVING CITIES TO ACCEPT
INCREASINGLY ONEROUS TAX SHARING
AGREEMENTS.
IN EXCHANGE FOR ONLINE RETAILERS
BUILDING OR RELOCATING IN THEIR
JURISDICTION.
UNDER THESE AGREEMENTS PRIVATE
COMPANIES PROFIT BUILT FROM
THEIR ONLINE SALES AND FROM THE
SALES TAX REBATES.
OFTEN CITIES WILL GIVE THESE
CORPORATIONS MORE THAN HALF OF
THE SALES TAX REVENUES ALLOCATED.
TO THEIR JURISDICTION.
THESE COMPANIES BENEFIT AT THE
EXPENSE OF THE PUBLIC.
AT A TIME WHEN OUR CITIES ARE
STRUGGLING TO FIND PUBLIC
PROGRAMS.
COMPANIES ARE SIPHONING BILLIONS
IN TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
THROUGH THESE AGREEMENTS.
FURTHER WHILE THESE DEALS ARE
OFTEN TOUTED FOR CREATING JOBS
AND HAVING SUBSTANTIAL ECONOMIC
BENEFITS.
IN MY VIEW THESE CLAIMS ARE
DUBIOUS.
SOME OF THESE AGREEMENTS DO NOT
REQUIRED THAT THE PROMISED JOBS
OR EVEN CREATED.
AND EVEN WHEN THEY DO HOWEVER
JOBS IN THESE WAREHOUSES.
ARE GRUELING.
LOW WAGE AND IN MANY CASES LACK
BENEFITS.
THE CITY'S NEED REAL JOB
OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORKING
FAMILIES NOT A RACE TO THE
BOTTOM. FOR THESE REASONS SB
FIVE THIRTY ONE WOULD PROHIBIT
ANY FUTURE SALES TAX SHARING
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS.
AND PRIVATE CORPORATIONS.
IT HAS NO EFFECT ON ANY EXISTING
DEAL WHEN MAKE THAT CLEAR AGAIN.
WOULD HAVE NO AFFECT ON ANY
EXISTING DEAL.
IT TAKES NO MONEY FROM ANY CITY.
AND IT DOES NOT REDUCE THE SALES
TAX REVENUE THAT ANY CITY CAN
RECEIVE IN THE FUTURE.
THAT'S WHY THIS BILL IS
SUPPORTED BY THE CALIFORNIA
LABOR FEDERATION.
THE LEAGUE OF CITIES AND MANY
OTHERS AND WITH THAT
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU MISTER SENATOR MEMBERS
WOULD LIKE TO OPEN IT UP FOR
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.
PETER GROW THE FLOOR IS YOURS
GOOD MORNING.
THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT I'D.
LIKE TO JUST TELL MY COLLEAGUES
AT YOU KNOW I I REALLY
APPRECIATE LIKE THE INTENT OF
WHAT YOUR BILL DOES.
BUT IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY WHEN
YOU LOOK AT OUR ECONOMICS IT
ECONOMICS THAT WE HAVE IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY THERE'S A HUGE
DISPARITY FROM THE COASTAL LINES.
AND WHAT WE HAVE IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY WITH MY COLLEAGUE THAT I
SHARE KERN AND TULARE WITH BUT
WHAT WE DO HAVE IS AN ASSET IS
LAND.
LAND SOMETHING MANY OF YOU DON'T
HAVE IN YOUR DISTRICTS WHERE
THESE HUGE MASSIVE WAREHOUSES OR
BUILDINGS CAN BE.
PLACED AND TO TAKE THIS ECONOMIC
ADVANTAGE AWAY FROM US IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY WHEN WE SUFFER SO
MUCH WITH A LOT OF POLICIES THAT
ARE PASSED THROUGH THIS AND THIS
IS AN ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE FOR US
FOR INSTANCE.
RIGHT IN KERN COUNTY WE WERE
ABLE TO SECURE WITH TAX CREDITS
THE AMAZON FACILITY THAT
PROVIDED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
CONSTRUCTION JOBS RIGHT BY OUR
AIRPORT -- THAT LED RIGHT TO THE
FREEWAY WHICH GAVE AMAZON A
DELIVERY POINT SO THAT THEY
COULD GET PRODUCTS OUT TO ALL OF
YOUR CONSTITUENTS.
AND THAT CREATED THOUSANDS OF
JOBS IN OUR DISTRICT -- GOOD
PAYING JOBS THAT WE DESPERATELY
NEED IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY SO
LIKE I SAID I UNDERSTAND -- THE
YOUR YUR COMMENTS AND I
UNDERSTAND THE BILL BUT I WANT
YOU TO THINK ABOUT THE CENTRAL
VALLEY IN THE RULE AREAS BECAUSE
WE DO HAVE AN ASSET AND IT'S THE
LAND IN THE PLACES TO PUT THESE
FACILITIES.
SO THAT WE CAN HAVE ECONOMIC
GROWTH IN OUR AREAS AS WELL.
WE GET WATER RESTRICTION OIL
RESTRICTION A LOT OF THE THINGS
THAT RESTRICT US FROM EMPLOYING
PEOPLE THAT IN KEEPING THEM
GAINFULLY EMPLOYED AT A REALLY
REALLY GOOD WAGE.
AND THIS IS ONE AVENUE THAT WE
WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KEEP IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY SO I WOULD
ENCOURAGE A NO VOTE.
THANK YOU LATER.
MEMBERS ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE ON THE FLOOR SENATOR
MORLOCK GOOD MORNING SIR.
MORNING MR PRESIDENT TED TWENTY
FIVE YEARS AGO MY POLITICAL
CAREER STARTED BECAUSE I DECIDED
TO POINT OUT.
THE PROBLEMS WITH A MONEY MAKING
SCHEME THAT WAS BEING.
PERPETRATED BY THE COUNTY OF
ORANGE.
OUR TREASURER TAX COLLECTOR HAD
FIGURED OUT A WAY TO BORROW ON
THE SHORT END OF THE YIELD CURVE.
BY FOR YOUR BONDS A LITTLE
FURTHER OUT AND MAKE THE SPREAD.
AND SINCE THAT WAS SO GOOD HE HE
TRIPLE DOWNEY BORROWED THREE
TIMES MORE. TO MAKE THIS
INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF MONEY --
FOR THE PARTICIPANTS SOME
HUNDRED EIGHTY SEVEN
PARTICIPANTS FROM AROUND THE
STATE IN THE PORTFOLIO THE
ORANGE COUNTY INVESTMENT POOL.
AND WHEN I RAN IT WAS COUNTY
WIDE AND I WOULD BUMP IN THE
CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.
AND THEY WOULD LITERALLY CHEW ME
OUT WHY AM I GOING AFTER THE
GOOSE THAT IS LAYING THE GOLDEN
EGGS IT'S THIS GUY WHO IS
GENERATING ALL THIS EXTRA
INTEREST INCOME THAT'S HELPING
US.
BALANCE OUR BUDGET DURING THE
NINETEEN NINETY RECESSION.
MEMBERS KNOW THAT WE HAVE A LOT
OF BUSINESS THAT WE ARE TAKING
CARE OF AN ACID THE COULD PLEASE
KEEP OUR CONVERSATIONS TO A
MINIMUM.
THERE ARE MORE LOCKED I
APOLOGIZE FOR INTERRUPTING THE
FLOOR IS YOURS SIR.
MISTER PRESIDENT YOU CAN
INTERRUPT ME ANYTIME.
YOU DID A GREAT JOB.
SO WHAT NO ONE NO ONE REALLY
LOOKED INSIDE THE BLACK BOX NO
ONE SAID WHAT'S HE DOING HE WAS
RUNNING A HEDGE FUND HE WAS
RECALLED THE CARRY TRADE TODAY
AND WHEN INTEREST RATES ARE
RISING ON THE SHORT END OF THE
YIELD CURVE WHICH ARE DOING.
RISE WE SPEAK YOU GET OUT OF HIS
BUSINESS AND HE DID NOT THIS
ENGAGE.
SO WITH THAT THE COUNTY OF
ORANGE IMPLODED WE LOST ONE
POINT SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS
BECAUSE THE PARTS OF THE SCHEME
STARTED TO MOVE IN THE WRONG.
DIRECTION AND THE COLLATERAL
CALLS ARE MADE IN AN ORANGE
COUNTY WATCHED A BOATLOAD.
OF MONEY COLLEAGUES I'VE SEEN
MORE SCHEMES IN MY TIME NOW THE
PUBLIC SECTOR -- REDEVELOPMENT.
YOU KNOW IF A IF IF WE CAN
CONSIDER A SMALL PART OF OUR
CITIES BLIGHTED THEM.
AND THAT HELPS WITH A TAX
INCREMENTAL A REVENUE TO THE
CITY THEN WHY DON'T WE DECLARE
THE WHOLE CITY BLIGHTED.
ONLY A TWO CITIES IN ORANGE
COUNTY THAT DID JUST THAT AND
NOW THEY'RE STRUGGLING AFTER
REDEVELOPMENT WAS REMOVED.
ANOTHER INTERESTING SCHEME WAS
INTEREST RATE SWAPS IF YOU CAN
BORROW MONEY AND USE THE SHORT
END OF THE YIELD CURVE AND GET A
REAL LOW RATE FOR A PORTION OF
THE DEAL WHY DON'T YOU DO IT FOR
THE WHOLE DEAL.
WELL THAT WORKED OUT GREAT YOUR
HERO UNTIL THE SHORT END OF THE
YIELD CURVE WENT UP IN.
TWO THOUSAND EIGHT WE WE HAD
ANOTHER COUNTY GO BANKRUPT OVER
THAT IDEA BECAUSE THEY WENT AND
BORROWED FOUR BILLION DOLLARS
BIRMINGHAM -- ALABAMA AND SO
THEY FILED.
THEN THE LARGEST BANKRUPTCY
FILING CHAPTER NINE BUMPED
ORANGE COUNTY OUT OF FIRST PLACE.
SO THERE'S ALL THESE INTERESTING
IDEAL IDEAS AND SO THESE
SALESMAN COME INTO TOWN TO GIVE
GIVE THESE GREAT.
OPPORTUNITIES AND NOW WILL.
WE HAVE STRUCTURE DEALS TO BUILD
WAREHOUSES IN UNIQUE AREAS AND
THEY GET ALL THE SALES TAXES
IT'S BEING SUCKED OUT.
OF OTHER AREAS THIS IS A SCHEME
AND IT'S NOT GOING TO LAST VERY
LONG.
BECAUSE YOU JUST THE ONE BALLOT
MEASURE OR YOU NEED ONE BILL OUT
OF THIS BUILDING AND YOU CAN
STOP THIS.
AND THOSE CITIES WILL FEEL THE
PAIN BUT IT THEY WILL BE.
PART OF A LONG SUCCESSION OF
CITIES THAT BELL FOR INTERESTING
SCHEME AND THE AND THE PARTIES
THAT ARE PROPOSING THESE SCHEMES
ARE MAKING UP A BOATLOAD OF
MONEY.
IN FEES.
THEY'LL BE HAPPY UNTIL SOMEONE
REALIZES THAT THEY'VE ACTUALLY
BEEN SOLD A BILL OF GOODS.
AND SO THIS BILL IS RIGHTEOUS
THIS BILL IS THE RIGHT THING TO
DO IT'S SAYING.
STOP THIS NONSENSE NOW NO MORE
GOING FORWARD BECAUSE YOU ARE
HEADED FOR A TRAIN WRECK I
APPLAUD THE AUTHOR FOR THIS BILL.
COLLEAGUES AND STOP THE NONSENSE
BEFORE IT GETS WORSE I ENCOURAGE
AN AYE VOTE ON SB FIVE THREE ONE
THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT THANK
YOU SO MUCH CENTER MORLOCK.
VERY GRATEFUL MEMBERS.
YOU'RE GONNA GO TO THE MAJORITY
LEADER AND ENDED SENATOR SKINNER.
MR MAJORITY LEADER THE FLOOR IS
YOURS SIR.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER
PRESIDENT I RISE IN SUPPORT OF
THIS MEASURE -- WE HAVE IN THIS
LEGISLATURE SINCE NINETEEN
SEVENTY EIGHT WHEN THE VOTERS
MADE A CHOICE. TO A LIMIT
PROPERTY TAXES IN THE MANNER
THEY DID.
HAVE COME UP WITH A SERIES OF
MECHANISMS SOME OF WHICH YOU'VE
WORKED SOME OF WHICH HAVEN'T.
IT'S RESULTED IN WHAT WE WHAT
WAS NO OFTEN KNOWN IN THE IN THE
IN THE PARLANCE IS FISCAL IS
ATION OF LAND USE AND I WOULD
SUGGEST.
THAT AS WE DEBATE THIS HOUSING
ISSUE AND WE LOOK AT THE VARIOUS
CAUSES THIS RELOCATION OF
BRADLEY BURNS MONEY INTO THESE
KINDS OF PROJECTS WHERE WE CAN
INCENTIVIZE THESE FOLKS.
THESE BIG BUSINESSES TO DO THIS
STUFF FOR BIG BOX RETAIL OUTSIDE
OF BIG CITIES AN AUTO MALLS IN
THE LIKE HAS CAUSED A GREAT DEAL
OF THE CONSEQUENCES BECAUSE
CITIES HAVE NOT BEEN INCENTIVIZE.
THE BILL THE HOUSING AND YET
WHEN THE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
FACTORS IT'S ONE OF THE
UNDERLYING CIRCUMSTANCES SO I
SUPPORT THIS BILL I JOIN WITH
THE AUTHOR IN THIS BILL I DO
KNOW AND I THINK THAT THE POINTS
MADE BY THOSE IN OPPOSITION.
ARE CORRECT IN THE SENSE THAT
THERE'S SOME LEVEL OF HARDSHIP.
NO QUESTION ABOUT IT BUT THERE
ARE BETTER WAYS TO MAKE THE FIX
THERE ARE BETTER WAYS WE NOW
HAVE OPPORTUNITIES OWNS WHERE WE
CAN USE INCOME TAX FROM
TAXPAYERS.
THERE'S A NUMBER OF NEW THINGS
ON THE SHELVES THAT WILL PROVIDE
INCENTIVES THAT DON'T HAVE THE
DOWNTURN THAT THIS IS DONE BY
PROMOTING BIG BOX RETAIL
PARTICULARLY OUT OF LARGE CITIES.
YOU KNOW AND AND THAT IT'S
CREATED THIS PROBLEM WITH FISCAL
IS ATION OF LAND USE WE HAVE TO
TRY TO WORK ON THIS FOR A NUMBER
OF YEARS I THINK THIS IS A
IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD.
ASK YOUR EYE BELOW THANK YOU AS
MAJORITY LEADER WE NOW LIKE TO
TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO SENATOR
SKINNER GOOD MORNING.
THANK YOU I RISE IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL ALSO AND I APPRECIATE
THAT.
MANY OF OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
HAVE BENEFITTED FROM THE CURRENT
RULES AND I TWO THREE SHE WHY A
LOCAL GOVERNMENT WOULD PURSUE
THAT BECAUSE WE'RE ALL THE WAY
OUR TAX STRUCTURE IS.
ALL OVER LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE
HAVING TO COMPETE FOR REVENUE.
NOW.
I STAND HERE THOUGH AND SAY WE
NEED TO DEFEND ALL OF OUR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS.
I WAS THE AUTHOR OF THE
LEGISLATION.
DURING THE RECESSION.
THAT FIRST.
BROKE THE THAT ARE.
PRACTICE FIRE INTERNET RETAILERS
OF BASICALLY DENYING THE STATE
IN OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FROM
SALES TAX REVENUE.
AND WHAT WAS HAPPENING SO LET'S
JUST TALK AMAZON FOR MINUTE.
AMAZON'S.
BUSINESS MODEL WAS BASED ON
GIVING YOU AN AYE THE PERCEPTION
THAT WE COULD BUY IT CHEAPER
FROM THEM BECAUSE WE DIDN'T PAY
SALES TAX NOW UNDER CALIFORNIA
LAW WE STILL OWE THAT SALES TAX.
BUT THAT LEFT OUR FRANCHISE TAX
BOARD INTO IT LEFT THEM HAVING
TO COLLECT FROM EACH OF US
INDIVIDUALLY VERY INEFFICIENT
AND BASICALLY LEFT A LOT OF
MONEY ON THE TABLE.
SO COURSE DURING THE RECESSION
THERE ARE LOTS OF FACTORS BUT WE
SAW OUR BRICK AND MORTAR BILL.
BUSINESSES UP AND DOWN THE STATE
ARE DOWNTOWNS COLLAPSING AS
RETAILERS CLOSED AND INTERNET
SALES GREW.
TODAY WE NOW INTERNET SALES
ACROSS THE US HAVE NOW.
REACHED A HIGHER NUMBER THAN
BURKE AND MORTAR SO WHILE THIS
BILL IS NOT GOING TO SAVE ALL
BRICK AND MORTAR IT LEAST ALLOWS
A MORE LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.
AND IT ALLOWS EVERY LOCAL
GOVERNMENT TO GET SOME SHEER OF
THOSE PURCHASES THANK YOU WHEN I
MAKE VERSES ALLOWING JUST A FEW
LOCAL OVERNMENTS. TO IN A WAY
GIVE AWAY MONEY THAT SHOULD GO
TO THE STATE AND SHOULD GO TO
ALL OF US GIVE AWAY JUST SO THEY
CAN CONSOLIDATE.
IN YES GET REVENUE THEMSELVES
BUT WE LOSE WE EAT THE WHOLE
STATE AND EVERY CITY IN THE
ENTIRE STATE COFFERS LOSE AS A
RESULT OF THE DEAL.
SO LET'S GO BACK TO FAIRNESS TO
PROTECTING WHATEVER BURKE AND
MORTARS WE HAVE LEFT.
AND THIS DOES NOT UNDO THE DEAL
SO FAR IF I WERE CARRYING THE
BILL I MIGHT ADD I TRIED TO UNDO
THE DEALS BUT WHATEVER IT
DOESN'T SO THOSE VIEW.
THOSE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT
HAVE THEM OR NOT HURT AND I URGE
YOUR AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU CENTER SKINNER MEMBERS
WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THE
FLOOR.
LAST CALL DISCUSSION OR DEBATE
ON THE FLOOR.
HEARING SEE NINE WE'D LIKE TO
TURN OVER TO CENTER GLAZER FOR
CLOSING COMMENTS.
THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT
MEMBERS AND THANK YOU FOR THE
SPIRITED DIED DEBATE THIS
MORNING. TO THE SENATOR FROM
BAKERSFIELD I'M I'M SENSITIVE TO
THE CENTRAL VALLEY AND THE
IMPACT THIS TYPE OF LEGISLATION
COULD HAVE -- I WOULD SAY THIS
THAT THOSE CITY STILL HAVE ALL
THE OTHER -- TAXES THAT ARE
COLLECTED THAT THEY CAN UTILIZE
TO INCENTIVIZE OF THAT THAT'S
WHAT THEY WANT TO DO THEY HAVE
PROPERTY TAXES THE OF THE SALES
TAXES THAT THEY COLLECT.
THE ONLY THING IT SAYS IN THIS
BILL IS YOU CAN'T HAVE A NEW
DEAL THE TAKE SALES TAXES FROM
ALL OF OUR OTHER CITIES.
AS AN INCENTIVE TO LOCATE THERE
AND I I I I DID NOT TRYING THIS
LEGISLATION TO UNRAVEL THOSE
DEALS THAT HAVE OCCURRED ALREADY
I AM INTERESTED IN TRYING TO DO
THAT AND THAT'S AS SENSITIVE WAY.
TO BALANCE THE ISSUES THAT YOU
RAISE BUT I APPRECIATE THE
CONCERNS THAT YOU'VE RAISED ON
THE FLOOR.
THE SENATOR FROM COSTA MESA.
IT IS TRUE THAT THERE IS A LOT
OF SCHEMES THAT HAVE BEEN PUT IN
PLACE -- BY PROFITEERS --
BLOOMBERG NEWS JUST AT A BIG
STORY ON THE PROFITEERS TO
DIFFUSE BRADLEY BURNS TO
MANIPULATE.
ARRANGEMENTS WITH CITIES AND
TAKEN PROFITS FOR THEMSELVES AND
WAS A GREAT EXPOSES A AND I'M
CERTAINLY INTERESTED IN TRYING
TO STOP THAT CURTAIL AND I THINK
THIS LEGISLATION DOES.
DO THAT GOING FORWARD.
I TO THE SENATOR FROM THE SAN
FERNANDO VALLEY GREAT THANK YOU
FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THIS
WHOLE AREA OF TAX REFORM -- YOU
BRING UP AN IMPORTANT POINT
ABOUT FAIRNESS AND INCENTIVES
AND HAVING THEM RIGHT SIDED.
AND CERTAINLY THIS BILL.
HELPS LEAD IN THAT DIRECTION
ALTHOUGH I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT
MORE WORK TO DO AND UNDER YOUR
LEADERSHIP WILL CONTINUE TO DO
THAT.
AND THE SENATOR FROM BERKELEY I
I APPRECIATE HER HISTORY ON TAX
REFORM.
AND CERTAINLY AT THE MAIN POINT
THAT YOU MADE WHICH IS THAT OUR
TAX REFORM HAS TO BENEFIT ALL OF
OUR CITIES.
AND NOT NOT ALLOW THIS WINNERS
AND LOSERS TO BE PICKED.
PICKED ON PICKED APART -- TO
WHAT -- IN IN A WAY THAT THAT
HURTS -- MANY OF OUR PUBLIC
SERVICES THAT ARE CITIES ARE
OBLIGATED TO ON TO PERFORM.
SO MEMBERS IN CLOSING LET ME SAY
THAT.
THIS MEASURE -- TRIES TO STOP
THE DAMAGE GOING FORWARD -- IT'S
TO PREVENT CORPORATIONS FOR
MANIPULATING OUR TAX CODE WHICH
ARE DOING TODAY.
ON THIS THE TERM OF POINT OF
SALE.
I AM TRYING TO RIGHT SIZE AT
LEAST GOING FORWARD THE
MANIPULATION OF OUR TAX.
CODE AND WITH THAT MEMBERS THANK

FORTY SEVEN WHICH DECLARES MAY
TWENTY NINETEEN AS CALIFORNIA
SMALL.
BUSINESS MONTH AND PROMOTES THE
IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESSES IN OUR
STATE'S ECONOMY SMALL BUSINESSES.
ARE THE ECONOMIC ENGINE.
IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES THEY
GENERATE ABOUT HALF OF ALL JOBS
IN CALIFORNIA ALLOWING
ENTREPRENEURS FROM DIVERSE
BACKGROUNDS TO EARN A LIVING AND
CONTRIBUTE TO OUR GOLDEN STATE.
IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN THERE WERE
OVER THREE POINT NINE MILLION.
SMALL BUSINESSES AND THE STATE
REPRESENTING AN OVERWHELMING
SHARE OF CALIFORNIA'S WORKFORCE
BY EMPLOYING MORE THAN SEVEN
MILLION PEOPLE.
AND OF THE SEVENTY THOUSAND
THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SMALL
FIRMS THAT EXPORTED GOODS FROM
CALIFORNIA.
THEY GENERATED 43% OF THE STATE
A HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO BILLION
IN TOTAL EXPORTS.
I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT AS WELL
THAT WITHIN THE SMALL BUSINESS
COMMUNITY A GROWING NUMBER OF
THESE COMPANIES ARE STARTED AT
OWNED BY WOMEN.
PEOPLE OF COLOR AND IMMIGRANTS
AND IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN IT'S
ESTIMATED THAT ONE POINT SIX
MILLION SMALL BUSINESSES WERE
MINORITY OWNED.
LET'S REAFFIRM OUR COMMITMENT TO
CALIFORNIA SMALL BUSINESSES
WHICH ENHANCE CALIFORNIANS WHO
HUMAN CAPITAL.
EXPAND JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND
INCREASE OUR COMPETITIVE
ADVANTAGE IN THE GLOBAL
MARKETPLACE I WANT TO ALSO THANK
MY COLLEAGUE FROM SAN DIEGO FOR

IMPORTANT TO ME TODAY BECAUSE HI
HAILEY SEES HER VETERINARIAN

IMPORTANT TO ME.
MY NAILS LOOK FABULOUS THAT'S
BECAUSE MY SMALL BUSINESS OWNER

THERAPIST.
MY GARDENER.
AW I CANNOT GET THROUGH THE DAY

HOME AND ADD TO THOSE NUMBERS.
I WOULDN'T BE HERE WITHOUT MY
SPOUSE BEING A SMALL BUSINESS
OWNER BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY IS
VERY SUCCESSFUL AND HER BUSINESS
THANK GOODNESS -- SO I WANT
PEOPLE TO STOP AND THINK AND AND
THINK ABOUT THE DATA AND THE
NUMBERS IN A WAY THAT IS
MEANINGFUL TO US.
MY GLASSES MIGHT AYE DOCTOR IS A

THANK YOU PER TO MACHEN'S WE NOW
LIKE TO TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO
SENATOR STONE.
GOOD MORNING SIR.
GOOD MORNING MR PRESIDENT AND A
AND COLLEAGUES I WANT TO APPLAUD
THE SENATOR FROM LOS ANGELES FOR
BRINGING THIS RESOLUTION FORWARD
AND I WANT TO THANK THE PRO TEM
FOR HER.
HER WONDERFUL REMARKS -- YOU
KNOW I BEEN A SMALL BUSINESSMAN
NOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE FOR
THIRTY SIX YEARS -- OWNED AND
OPERATED. SIX PHARMACIES -- A
RESPIRATORY COMPANY A PROPERTY
MANAGEMENT COMPANY [inaudible]
AND I WASN'T BORN ON THE RICH
SIDE OF THE TRACKS I WAS BORN IN
A VERY HUMBLE LOW INCOME FAMILY
BLUE COLLAR WORKERS AND FIRST
GUY TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE IN
MY FAMILY AND I KNEW I WANTED TO
BE A SOLE PROPRIETOR.
BUT I KNEW THAT I JUST COULDN'T
GO AND FIX RISE A NEW STORE AND
BUY INVENTORY IN OPEN THE
PHARMACY BY MYSELF.
SO I HAD TO WAIT.
FOR BIG BIG BOX STORES THAT TIME
PROBABLY BEFORE MANY OF YOU WERE
BORN ONE CALLED FED MARK ONE
CALLED.
GEMCO.
AND WHEN THEY THE COM BY I
BOTTLE THEIR PHARMACY FIXTURES
AND EQUIPMENT PUT HIM IN STORAGE
AND AND THEN THE SMALL TOWN OF
TEMECULA NINETEEN EIGHTY THREE
FIFTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE.
I WANTED TO OPEN.
MY FIRST OF SIX PHARMACIES.
I WANT TO HAVE THE CHEERS BAR OF
A PHARMACY WE YOUR UNIVERSITIES
NAME THE WALKED IN THE DOOR.
INCLUDING THE LIKES OF JACK
KLUGMAN YOU MAY EMEMBER HIM IN
THE QUINCY SHOW THAT ALSO LIVED
IN TEMECULA I WAS THIS
PHARMACIST AND PROBABLY.
SERVE HIM AND MY OTHER
CONSTITUENTS AND BUILD PRACTICES
UP.
THAT'S THE AMERICAN DREAM THIS --
BEING ABLE.
TO COME FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
AND GO TO SCHOOL.
AND THE GREATEST SCHOOL SYSTEM
IN THE COUNTRY IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND BECOME
[inaudible]
A SUCCESS.
AND I TRY TO PATRONIZE -- SMALL
BUSINESSES LIKE OUR OUR PRO TEM
HAS A EXEMPLIFIED.
OUR DOG GROOMERS -- THE GOING TO
THE SAME PSYCHIATRIST FOR TWENTY
YEARS -- SAME DOCTORS -- BUT I'D
SAY A MENTION THIS I ALSO WANT.
TO PUT A CAUTION OUT THERE.
THAT.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BILLS
ESPECIALLY BILLS THAT ARE?
ENTERTAINING THE LABOR COMMITTEE
AND AND OTHER BILLS THAT ARE
ADDING MORE REGULATIONS AND MORE
COSTS.
IT IS DISPROPORTIONATELY.
IMPOSED ON SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
I WILL TELL YOU THAT.
THE REGULATIONS GOVERNING COUNT
HOUNDING PHARMACY WHICH I OWN
NOW AND STILL OPERATE.
AB EXPONENTIALLY INCREASED OVER
THE PAST DECADE IN RESPONSE TO
SOME UNFORTUNATE EVENTS THAT
WE'VE SEEN.
ON THE EAST COAST AT A PHARMACY
THAT DIDN'T SET THE GOOD EXAMPLE
SET THE BAD EXAMPLE WHICH CAUSE
KNEE JERK REACTIONS TO HAPPEN
THROUGHOUT.
THE COUNTRY.
BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE SMALL
BUSINESSES ARE THE BACKBONE OF
OUR ECONOMY NOT ONLY IN THE
COUNTRY.
AND THAT WE SHOULD DO EVERYTHING
WE CAN TO GIVE THEM THE TOOLS TO
SUCCEED.
AND TO ALLOW.
THE DREAM OF OWNING ONE'S
BUSINESS AND GIVING THEM THE
TOOLS TO BE THE ENTREPRENEURS.
THAT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS
KNOWN.
FOR SO AGAIN I WANT TO APPLY THE
AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD
AND AND JUST HOPE THAT.
AS WE ENTERTAIN MY DISTILLATION.
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION IN THE
COMING MONTHS THAT WE WILL TAKE
INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT THOSE
EFFECTS WOULD BE ON SMALL
BUSINESSES THAT ARE STRUGGLING
TO SURVIVE.
AND COMPETE NOT ONLY IN A
NATIONAL WORK FORCE BUT IN A
GLOBAL WORK FORCE AND AGAIN
THANK YOU TO THE SENATOR FROM
LOS ANGELES.
THANK YOU SO MUCH CENTER STONE
MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO TURN THE
FLOOR OVER TO CENTER HUESO.
AND THEN TO SENATOR PAN BORN
INCINERATION.
THANK YOU GOOD MORNING I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF THIS YOU ARE.
FORTY SEVEN SMALL BUSINESS
CONTINUES TO BE THE BACKBONE OF
CALIFORNIA 98%.
OF OUR ECONOMY OR ARE 90% OF THE
BUSINESSES IN OUR STATE OR FEEL
BY SMALL BUSINESS.
AND THEY RATE CONTINUE TO BE THE
SITE WHERE.
INNOVATION IS BORN IN OUR STATE
THIS THE PLACE WHERE.
NEW IDEAS -- COME TO BE.
AND WHERE THE AMERICAN DREAM
BEGINS FOR FOR MANY PEOPLE --
INCLUDING MYSELF I STARTED MY
FIRST BUSINESS WHEN I WAS TWELVE%
YEARS OLD I HAD A LITTLE CAR
WASH BUSINESS ADEQUATE CORNER.
GAS STATION AND AFTER THAT I
STARTED DELIVERING NEWSPAPERS
EVERY MORNING AT FOUR AM THE SAN
DIEGO UNION -- THE I HAD A
HUNDRED THIRTY EIGHT CUSTOMERS
AT THAT I WOULD GET UP AT FOUR
IN THE MORNING RIDE MY BIKE FROM
MY NEIGHBOR DELIVERING PAPERS.
AND I THOUGHT.
MY MY WHOLE LIFE WOULD BE
RESIDENT AROUND BUSINESS AND IT
JUST -- IS A WONDERFUL THING TO
BE YOUR OWN BOSS EVERYDAY.
BUT YOU KNOW THE THE BIGGEST
THING FACING THE BIGGEST THREAT
FACING BUT AS BUSINESS ON OUR
STATE CONTINUES TO BE MONOPOLIES.
IT CONTINUES TO BE OF A TAX
BREAKS FOR THE CORPORATIONS THAT
ARE NOT GIVEN TO SMALL BUSINESS
IT CONTINUES TO BE.
REGULATIONS THAT FAVOR LARGER.
MORE WELL FUNDED CORPORATIONS
AND OVER OVER SMALL BUSINESS AND
THAT'S I THINK THE BIGGEST
THREAT AS A AS A BUSINESS OWNER --
IN CALIFORNIA FOR A FOR TWENTY
YEARS.
I CAN TELL YOU THE BIGGEST
THREAT.
IT IS IS IT'S NOT REGULATION
REGULATION OFTEN IS IS.
ENCOURAGED BY BUSINESSES CENTER
TOOK.
CREATE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.
LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD SO
EVERYBODY COULD KEEP COMPETE
EQUAL.
EQUALLY TO HAVE AN EQUAL ACCESS
TO THE AMERICAN DREAM BUT IF YOU
START FAVOR IN.
THE BIG COMPANIES IF YOU START
PROVIDING THEM WITH WITH OF WITH
REGULATIONS GIVE THEM.
PREFERENCE OVER.
OF DOMINATING THE THE ECONOMIC.
ENVIRONMENT.
THAT'S WHAT'S GONNA KILL SMALL
BUSINESS IN OUR STATE.
SO AS WE EVOLVE AS WE CELEBRATE
ALL THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
LET'S KEEP THAT IN MIND.
BUT ALSO CONTINUE TO SEND THAT
MESSAGE TO PEOPLE THAT WE
CALIFORNIA IS THE NUMBER ONE
ECONOMY IN THE NATION.
BECAUSE WHAT WE ARE THAT
ENVIRONMENT FOR INNOVATION
WITHOUT IT WE ARE THAT
ENVIRONMENT. FOR INVESTMENT. 70%
OF OF ALL THE OF NEW.
INVESTMENT CAPITAL THAT IS SPENT.
IN AMERICA OF OF OF OF A 100% OF
ALL START UP CAPITAL FUNDS 70%
COMES TO CALIFORNIA.
THERE'S A REASON WHY THAT IS.
THERE'S A REASON WHY WE DOMINATE
THE INVESTMENT -- OF OF THE THE
INTEREST OF THE INVESTMENT
COMMUNITY BECAUSE CALIFORNIA.
CONTINUES TO BE THE PLACE.
WHERE BUSINESS START UPS?
WANT TO WHERE WHERE BUSINESSES
WANT TO BEGIN.
THIS IS THE PLACE I WANT TO BE
LOCATED OVER OVERWHELMINGLY THIS
IS A PLACE WE CONTINUE
CALIFORNIA CONTINUES TO BE THE
INCUBATOR.
THE BUSINESS INCUBATOR OF
AMERICA AND WE HAVE.
TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT AND WE
HAVE TO PROTECT THAT WE HAVE TO
CONTINUE. TO SUPPORT POLICIES
THAT -- MAKE THAT HAPPEN FOR OUR
STATE THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH SOONER HUESO
MEMBERS VETERAN FLORIDA SENATOR

CHALLENGES OF TRYING TO START

CREATION OF OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE
IS THAT THE VERY GROUPS.
TO LOOK IS IT STARTING SMALL
BUSINESSES AND CERTAINLY THAT
ENTREPRENEURS.
WHAT DROVE THEM BUT OFTENTIMES
OPPORTUNITIES ARE NOT
NECESSARILY EQUALLY THERE FOR
THEM IN LARGE ORGANIZATIONS AND
THAT'S WHY YOU SEE MANY -- YEAH
AND YOU SEE WOMEN YOU SEE PEOPLE
COLOR IS HIS IMMIGRANTS STARTING
A BUSINESS IS I DO WANT TO JUST
MENTION -- THAT ACTUALLY HERE IN
CALIFORNIA WE'VE TAKEN IMPORTANT
STEPS TO ACTUALLY ALLOW AND
PERMIT PEOPLE TO BE MORE
ENTREPRENEURS HERE BECAUSE WE
PASSED COVERED CALIFORNIA.
AND ACTUALLY THERE IS DATA SHOW
THAT BY ACTUALLY ARE IN OUR
EMBRACE OF THE ACA INCLUDING THE
INDIVIDUAL STABILIZING THE
INDIVIDUAL INSURANCE MARKET
WE'VE HELPED PEOPLE GET OUT OF
WHAT'S CALLED JOB LOCK.
BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ABLE IF YOU
HAVE A CHRONIC CONDITION.
YOU CAN'T GO BY INSURANCE AND
INDIVIDUAL MARKET BECAUSE THE
PRE EXISTING CONDITION
AFFORDABLE INSURANCE AND GO OFF
AND PURSUE YOUR DREAMS AS AN
ENTREPRENEUR.
AND FACT WE HAVE SEEN A
NOTICEABLE TAKE UPWARDS AND
PEOPLE WILLING TO BE ABLE TO
START THEIR OWN BUSINESSES
BECAUSE OF COVERED CALIFORNIA.
SO I SHOULD MAKE NOTE THAT WHEN
WE TALK ABOUT THINGS WE
CERTAINLY WANT TO THINK ABOUT
REGULATIONS AND LAWS AND HOW DO
WE MAKE IT EASIER FOR SMALL
BUSINESSES BECAUSE I KNOW SMALL
BUSINESS OWNERS WANT TO DO THE
RIGHT THING.
I KNOW THEY WANT TO DO THE RIGHT
THING THEY OFTEN THOSE ARE
CLARITY FROM US YOU KNOW THEY
WANT CLEAN AIR CLEAN WATER DAY
WHAT THEIR WORK IS TO BE TAKEN
CARE OF THEY WANT CLEARLY FROM
US HOW TO DO IT.
BUT THEY ALSO NEED THAT
INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE THINGS LIKE
COVERED CALIFORNIA TO ALLOW THEM
TO HAVE THAT INDEPENDENCE THAT
FREEDOM. TO BE ABLE TO PURSUE
THEIR ENTREPRENEURIAL DREAMS I
STAND IN STRONG SUPPORT OF THIS
RESOLUTION THANK YOU.
THANK YOU CENTER AND MEMBERS
WITH A TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO
SENATOR AWESOME.
GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING THANK YOU -- THE
PRESIDENT -- I ALSO RISE IN
SUPPORT AND THANK SENATOR --
FROM BALDWIN PARK ON THE ISSUE
OF SMALL BUSINESSES SMALL
BUSINESSES AS MY COLLEAGUE SAID
ALSO ARE IN POOR WAY FOR
IMMIGRANTS TO INTEGRATE INTO THE
ECONOMY.
AND MANY MANY COMMUNITIES HAVE
MAINTAINED THEIR VIBRANCY
BECAUSE OF IMMIGRANTS OPENING
AND STARTING AND MAINTAINING
SMALL BUSINESSES IN PARTICULAR I
WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT FOR
SMALL BUSINESSES -- THAT DO GIVE
THE KINDS OF WAGES THAT ARE
IMPORTANT FOR FAMILIES TO
SUSTAIN THEMSELVES -- LIKE
LANGER IS WORLD FAMOUS LET WORLD
FAMOUS LANGER'S DELICATESSEN UP
TO LEAVE THE ORIGINAL IN
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES THE PANTRY.
THOSE ARE JUST THREE OF THE MANY
SMALL BUSINESSES RESTAURANTS
THAT HAVE SUSTAINED OUR
COMMUNITIES AGAINST MANY MANY
ODDS.
AND AT THE SAME TIME A PROVIDED
GOOD FAMILY WAGES FOR THEIR
EMPLOYEES SO.
WE SHOULD EQUATE -- SMALL
BUSINESSES AND ENCOURAGE AND
HELP THEM TO ALSO BE IN A
POSITION TO PAY THOSE KINDS OF
WAGES THAT REALLY LIFT AND
DEFEND AND PROTECT -- GOOD
COMMUNITIES THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU CENTER.
MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO TURN THE
FLOOR OVER TO SENATOR JACKSON
GOOD MORNING CENTER JACKSON YES
THANK YOU -- MISS PRESENT
COLLEGE I WANT TO STAND UP AND
AND AGAIN THANK MY COLLEAGUE
FROM BALDWIN.
OF PARK.
AS WELL AS OUR PRO TEM FOR
SHARING WITH US.
WHAT COMPRISES HER DAILY ROUTE --
OR WEEKLY ROUTINE -- SO THAT I
CAN TRY TO EMULATE THAT.
ALTHOUGH THE SIX THIRTY THE
MORNINGS A LITTLE EARLY -- FOR
SOME OF US.
BUT I WANT TO FOCUS IF I MAY ON
WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES --
BECAUSE WE ARE FINDING NOW THAT --
BETWEEN -- IN A STUDY BY
AMERICAN EXPRESS FOUND THAT BE
FROM NINETEEN NINETY SEVEN TO
TWENTY SEVENTEEN THE NUMBER OF
SMALL BUSINESSES.
GREW BY 44% BUT THE NUMBER OF
WOMEN OWNED SMALL BUSINESSES
GREW BY A HUNDRED AND 14% A
SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN OF
COURSE -- IN CALIFORNIA AS ONE
MIGHT EXPECT -- THE OUR STATE'S
REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN OWNED
BUSINESSES IS 15% HIGHER THAN
THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.
A HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE NEW
WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES OPEN IN
CALIFORNIA EVERY DAY.
AND THE BIGGEST HURDLE THAT BOTH.
OF THE SMALL BUSINESSES RUN BY
MEN AND WOMEN FACE IS FINANCING.
AND THAT WOMEN HAVE OF A GREATER
OBSTACLES IN OBTAINING THAT
FINANCING SO AS WE LOOK -- TO
FOCUS ON SMALL BUSINESSES AND
ALL OF THE CLAIMS ABOUT WHAT
CAUSES PROBLEMS AND WHAT HAVE
YOU.
IT'S THAT INITIAL START UP
FUNDING.
AND AS WOMEN WANT THAT
FLEXIBILITY IN OWNING THEIR OWN
BUSINESSES THE NEEDS TO
ACCOMMODATE AND BALANCE CHILD
CARE.
OF THE FAMILY NEEDS AND THE
DESIRE AND THE NEED TO OBTAIN I
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ARISE WE
WILL CONTINUE TO SEE MORE AND
MORE WOMEN STEPPING INTO THE
ENTREPRENEURIAL WORLD.
AND IT IS A VERY EXCITING TO
HEAR OF THE NUMBER OF WOMEN WHO
ARE PARTICIPATING IN THAT WRLD
LET'S HOPE THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE.
THE ABILITY IN THE FLEXIBILITY
DECISION MAKING TO BE ABLE TO
CONTINUE KEEPING CALIFORNIA LIFE
AND LIVING THE GRAY CALIFORNIA
DREAM.
AND WITH THAT I WOULD URGE YOUR
STRONG SUPPORT OF THIS
RESOLUTION.
SENATORS WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THE
FLOOR.
LAST CALL FOR DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE.
CENTER RUBIO WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE.

WHEN I WAS A LOCAL COUNCIL
MEMBER I WAS 1100% CERTAIN.
THAT ARE SMALL BUSINESSES
ALLOWED US TO EXPAND OUR
PRORAMS.
CHILD STEP CITY AFTER SCHOOL
PROGRAMS OUR SENIORS HAVE PLACES
TO GO EVERY DAY BECAUSE OF THEIR
TAX REVENUE.
AND IN ADDITION THEY ALLOWED US
TO TAKE CARE OF OUR S. YEAH YOU
FAMILY OUR PUBLIC SAFETY
FAMILIES AND SO WITH THAT I JUST
WANT TO BE MINDFUL AS WE MOVE
FORWARD WE NEED.
