THANK YOU SO MUCH BETTER
PRESIDENT GOOD MORNING MEMBERS
RIGHT TODAY BE TO PRISON AG ARE
TWENTY EIGHT WHICH IS BY SOME
MEMBER JONES SAWYER.
WHICH CALLS IN THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO TAKE ACTIONS THAT
WOULD ALLOW CALIFORNIA TO
PROVIDE BANKING SERVICES TO OUR
LEGAL CANNABIS INDUSTRY IS WE
KNOW THE GOOD SENATOR FROM SAN
FERNANDO VALLEY HAS BEEN WORKING
ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL.
ON NOVEMBER TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN
THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA VOTED
TO LEGALIZE THE RECREATION YOU
SEE CANNABIS IN OUR STATE.
DESPITE THIRTY EIGHT STATES
HAVING LEGALIZE CANNABIS FOR
MEDICAL RECREATION USE THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO
AFFIRM ITS AUTHORITY TO CLASSIFY
CANNABIS AS A SCHEDULE ONE DRUG
AND THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
BECAUSE CANNABIS IS A SCHEDULE
ONE DRUG THE SAME IS MATH OR
HEROIN --
FEDERAL POLICY DISCOURAGES
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS FROM
PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE
CANNABIS INDUSTRY AND MAKES IT
IMPOSSIBLE FOR STATES TO SET UP
THEIR OWN BANKING SYSTEM TO
ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
AND AS WE ALL KNOW CALIFORNIA'S
CANNABIS INDUSTRIES WERE SEVEN
BILLION DOLLARS WE SAW A SIMILAR
MEASURE THAT WAS ADVANCED LAST
YEAR FOCUS ON REMOVING CANNABIS
IS A SCHEDULE ONE DRUG BY THE
GOOD SENATOR FROM TO MACULA IT
WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR ALL THIS WORK
ON THAT.
WOULD ASK TO BE ABLE TO JOIN US
IN THE MEMBER JONES SAWYER IN
URGING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO
PRIVATIZE THE SAFETY OF OUR
COMMUNITIES AND ALLOW STATES TO
PROVIDE BANKING SERVICES TO
CANNABIS BUSINESSES.
WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU SENATOR MCGUIRE

THANK YOU MADAM --
PRESIDENTE I STAND ALSO --
TO SUPPORT EGR --
TWENTY SENATOR FROM NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA POINTED OUT WE PASS
AN EARLIER RESOLUTION THAT URGE
CONGRESS.
TO RESCHEDULE --
CANNABIS AND AND I'M REFERRING
MORE TO THE MEDICINAL USES OF
CANNABIS IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING
SCHEDULED ONE OF BY THE DRUG
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY IT MEANS IT
HAS NO.
THERAPEUTIC VALUE THAT CAN ONLY
BE ABUSED AND I THINK WE'VE SEEN
THROUGH RESEARCH IN ISRAEL --
AND OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY
THAT THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT
MEDICAL BENEFITS TO CANNABIS AND
EVEN THE FEDERAL.
DRUG ADMINISTRATION CONTRADICTS
THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCY BY
APPROVING THE DRUG MARINOL WHICH
WE ALL KNOW IS A DERIVATIVE
TETRA HYDRO CANNABINOID THE
ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN CANNABIS --
TO ALLOW IT TO BE RESCHEDULED
FROM SCHEDULE ONE TWO AN
ALTERNATIVE SCHEDULE THAT WOULD
MAKE IT A LEGAL AND YOU WOULD
NOT HAVE FORFEITURE LAWS --
THREATENING BANKS THAT --
NEED TO BE ABLE TO BANK THIS
BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND BY DOING
SO NOT ONLY WILL WE HELP --
THE SECURITY OF THOSE THAT ARE
RUNNING --
LEGITIMATE --
DISPENSARIES FOR PEOPLE THAT
NEED CANNABIS FOR MEDICAL
THERAPEUTICS BUT ALSO THE STATE
MORE REAL FOR REALIZE A WINDFALL
IN TAXES THAT OTHERWISE WOULD
BE.

NIELSEN [inaudible]
BUT OR PORTIONS OF THIS BUDGET.
OUR GOING TO BE I THINK.
IN QUESTION AND A LEGAL CLOUD IS
PUT OVER THE BUDGET.
THE POINT OF ORDERS A TWENTY
NINE POINT.
FIVE THE TRANSMISSION OF AB ONE
OF SOME OF THE DOCUMENT IT WAS
NOT BEFORE THE COMMITTEE.
AND THEN THEN THESE ITEMS SHOW
UP IN.
A REPORT AFTERWARDS I THINK
THAT'S A LEGITIMATE POINT OF
ORDER.
SENATOR MITCHELL OF EXCUSE ME
SENATOR NIELSEN IS RAISING A
POINT OF ORDER.
A A BELIEVE THAT POINT OF ORDER
IS NOT WELL TAKEN.
A THE SECTION OF REFER TO
SUBSECTION SHE UNDER TWENTY NINE
POINT.
FIVE MAKE REFERENCE TO A
COMMITTEE ON CONFERENCE OF THE
BUDGET BILL MAY CONSIDER ONLY
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ASSEMBLY
VERSION OF THE BUDGET BILL.
AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY AND
THE SENATE VERSION OF THE BUDGET
BILL AS PASSED BY THE SENATE WE
ARE NOT AT THAT POINT.
A AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND
WITHOUT A PRESIDING OFFICER
FINDS THAT YOUR POINT OF ORDER
IS NOT WELL TAKEN.
SENATOR HAD DEBATE ON THE BILL.
ON THE BUDGET BILL.
ALRIGHT VERY GOOD WE WILL NOW
MOVE TO DEBATE AND DISCUSSION ON
THE ITEM FILE ITEM SEVENTY THE
BUDGET BILL OF TWENTY EIGHTEEN
SENATOR NELSON THE FLOOR'S YOURS
AND I DO HAVE MORE TO SAY ON THE
POINT OF ORDER IN THE REASON
THAT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN THIS
WEEK BECAUSE THE ROLE.
IN A SENATOR NIELSEN THE POINT
OF ORDER IS NOT DEBATABLE.
IT AS YOU KNOW SO IF YOU'D LIKE
TO DEBATE I'M GONNA DEBATE
BUDGET BILL THERE YOU GO VERY
GOOD THANK YOU JIM IF I'M A
LITTLE SORE ABOUT THIS PROCESS
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
SENATE IT'S A SURPRISING ALL OF
US I KNOW BUT IF YOU IT'S
DIFFICULT BECAUSE ON THE BUDGET.
IS WITH THE AND HOW A CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE.
WAS CONDUCTED.
HISTORICALLY CONFERENCE
COMMITTEES PURPOSE.
AND BY OUR RULES ARE TO
RECONCILE THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THE TWO VERSIONS AND THE
HOUSE.
THE FIRST SEVERAL DAYS.
OF CONFERENCE COMMITTEE WAS
NOTHING BUT CONVERSATION.
ABOUT ITEMS BUT CONVERSATIONS.
THAT IT APPEARED THAT WE'RE
GOING TO VOTE IN BUCKETS IN
WHOLE SERIES LIKE WE DO CONSENT
CALENDARS.
PHIL I PURPOSELY REMOVED A
NUMBER OF ITEMS.
SO WE COULD DISCUSS THEM.
AND VOTE ON THEM.
AS WOULD BE THE NORMAL COURSE.
SENATE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE THE
MEMBERS OF ARE EMPOWERED TO
NEGOTIATE.
RING OF FOURTH AGREEMENTS
[inaudible]
OFFER AMENDMENTS [inaudible]
AND CHANGES.
THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
VOTERS ALL JAMMED INTO THE LAST
DAY.
IN A VOTE.
ON THE WHOLE BUDGET.
ALL THE TRAILER BILLS
[inaudible]
THAT [inaudible]
ABSOLUTELY.
IS NOT TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT.
RATHER THE CONTRARY [inaudible]
THE PEOPLE.
OF CALIFORNIA AND THE CITIZENS
THROUGH US THEIR ELECTED
REPRESENTATIVES DON'T KNOW.
ANNA KNOW PARTICULAR CASE DID WE
HAVE ANY WRITTEN LANGUAGE.
WE HAD ANALYSES [inaudible]
BY CAUCUSES [inaudible]
BY STAFF.
THAT'S ALL WE HAD TO GO ON AND I
WOULD ARGUE RIGHT NOW MOST
MEMBERS.
REALLY DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
THEY'RE VOTING ON BUT ON THE
OVERALL BUDGET.
THE YOU ARE.
VOTING FOR A VERY SUBSTANTIAL.
THE INCREASE IN THE BUDGET
AGAIN.
AND CREEPING ENCROACHMENT.
THAT GOT US IN TROUBLE IN YEARS
PAST.
YEAR AFTER YEAR OF AUTO PILOT
SPENDING [inaudible]
OCCURRING.
THAT OBLIGE THE STATE.
THERE IS A POINT WHERE.
THEN REVENUES DECREASED.
WE WERE IN TROUBLE.
BECAUSE WE HAD SO MUCH
[inaudible]
AUTOMATIC SPENDING.
BUT I ASK THE SENATE.
AND THIS IS DEMOCRATS AS WELL AS
REPUBLICANS.
I BELIEVE DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE AS
OFFENDED.
AS REPUBLICANS AND HOW ABOUT
THIS SHIP WITHOUT THIS
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
[inaudible]
WAS CONDUCTED.
AND I HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT NEXT
YEAR. ONE THE CHAIR WHEN CHIP OF
THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE RETURNS
TO THE SENATE.
THIS WILL BE VERY DIFFERENT AND
WILL GO BACK.
THE FORMER WAYS.
BUT WHAT WE CAN'T DO IN
CALIFORNIA.
IS GOING BACK.
THE FORMER WAYS [inaudible]
BUT SPENDING.
ON THIS BILL I URGE A NO VOTE.
THANK YOU SENATOR NIELSEN
FURTHER DEBATER DISCUSSION
SENATOR MORLOCK.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.
MY ALSO HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF
SERVING ON THE BUDGET CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE.
THIS IS MY SECOND.
OPPORTUNITIES TWO YEARS IN A
ROW.
AND I JUST CAN LIKE TO PROVIDE A
FEW OBSERVATIONS IF I MIGHT.
THE FIRST IS IT IT IS A MAJOR
TIME COMMITMENT SO I WANT TO
THANK THE CHAIR SENATOR.
FROM LOS ANGELES.
FOR THE COMMITMENT TO CHAIR THIS
SITE [inaudible]
BIG JOB --
TO IT'S A SIGNIFICANT CHALONER
FRED DISRUPTION IT'S KINDA HARD
TO PLAN ON WHEN WILL YOU
ACTUALLY MEET AND WHEN WILL YOU.
AND HOW LONG WILL THE MEETINGS
GO AND WHEN WILL THEY START WHEN
WILL THEY FINISH.
BUT THIS YEAR I THINK THE
CONCLUSION AYE GUY CAME OUT OF
THE WHOLE PROCESS WAS MAYBE THE
BUDGET CONFERENCE COMMITTEE IS
IS IT AND NEW TERM THE KIDS ARE
USING IT IT'S BECOMING NOTHING
BURGER.
THAT THAT THE REAL WORK IS
SUPPOSEDLY DONE.
BY THE GOVERNOR AT THE SPEAKER
OF THE ASSEMBLY AND THE
PRESIDENT PRO TEM.
AS AS WE POLITELY WAIT AROUND.
THERE ARE BEHIND THE SCENES
DISCUSSIONS WE SHOULD'VE MET ON
THURSDAY NIGHT AND BEEN DONE.
BUT THE MEETING DIDN'T EVEN
OCCUR.
AND THEN ON FRIDAY MORNING WE
GOT A PRESS RELEASE THAT SAID
THAT EVERYTHING HAD BEEN
RESOLVED THAT.
THESE THREE INDIVIDUALS HAD.
FINISH THE BUDGET [inaudible]
FOR US. ONE OF THE COMMITTEE
MEMBERS JUST WENT AHEAD AND WENT
TO AS TO THE AIRPORT AND FLEW
HOME.
THE WAY TO FIND A REPLACEMENT.
HE LEFT IN DISGUST WAS THE
PURPOSE OF BEING ON THE BUDGET
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
WE FINALLY STARTED FRIDAY NIGHT
BUT IT WAS AFTER EIGHT PM --
AND THAT CONCLUDED AFTER
MIDNIGHT.
SO IT APPEARS.
BUT THE BUDGET CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE IS IS ALMOST VIRTUALLY
UNNECESSARY.
IT IS A COMPILER OF DATA SERVING
OF SCRIBES AND NOT AS A DECISION
MAKING BODY AS ESTABLISHED BY
THE CONSTITUTION AND THE RULES.
FOR MADAME PRESIDENT WE OUGHT TO
TAKE A HARD LOOK AT THIS PROCESS
WITHOUT A DOING EVALUATION DO WE
CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION.
DO WE ALLOW THE GOVERNOR TO
ISSUE THE BUDGET PROPOSAL ON
JANUARY.
TEN AND LET HIM STEP BEEN BEFORE
THE CONCLUSION OF THE MID JUNE
AND WRAP IT UP.
I'M JUST I'M JUST ADVISING YOU
COLLEAGUES THAT WE HAVE THEIR
FOLLOW THE RULES ARE WE DISSOLVE
THE BUDGET CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
SECOND POINT I'D LIKE TO MAKE IS
THE BALANCE SHEET FOR THE STATE.
IT IS STILL UGLY.
WE HAVE THE LARGEST UNRESTRICTED
NET DEFICIT IN THE NATION.
WE HAVE THE HIGHEST UNFUNDED
LIABILITIES FOR PENSION PLANS IN
THE NATION.
AND AS OF JUNE THIRTY THIS MONTH
TWENTY EIGHTEEN WILL HAVE NEW
GAS BICU RULES.
THAT WILL APPLY AND WHEN YOU GET
YOUR CALF FOR YOUR COMPREHENSIVE
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT COME
NEXT MARCH.
YOU'LL SEE THAT THE UNRESTRICTED
NET DEFICIT IS GONNA GROW FROM A
HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINE POINT
FIVE BILLION.
BY ANOTHER NINETY ONE POINT FIVE
BILLION PER RETIREE MEDICAL.
LIABILITIES THAT'S GONNA PUT US
OVER AT QUARTER TRILLION DOLLARS
IN A UN RESTRICTED NET DEFICIT
PETS.
I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY THAT'S
REALLY STARTIN TO TALK REAL
DOLLARS.
AND IF GADSBY.
ABOUT WHICH ALSO IS MAKING
CHANGES ON HOW LEASES ARE TO BE
REPORTED ON THE BALANCHINE IF
THOSE ALSO TAKE.
AFFECT AND WE HAVE TO INCLUDE
THE THOSE HAS LIABILITIES VERSES
POLICE EXPAND FOR ON THE INCOME
STATEMENT.
BUT WE'RE REALLY GONNA HAVE AN
INTERESTING BALANCE SHEET COME.
JUNE BUT I HAVEN'T GOT ANYTHING
FROM THE STATE COMPTROLLER TO
IDENTIFY THAT AMOUNT.
THE THIRD THING IS JUST DEALING
WITH THE BUDGET ITSELF I'M.
THIS BUDGET SETS ASIDE FUNDS AND
THAT IS A GOOD AND RIGHTEOUS
THING THIS HELPS TO REDUCE THIS
DEFICIT.
BUT IT DOESN'T ATTACK OUR DEBTS.
IN A YEAR WHEN ONE ENJOYS A
BUMPER CROP. ONE MUST SET ASIDE
CASH AND PAY DOWN THE CREDIT
CARD BALANCE.
WE'VE GOT TO GET AHEAD OF THIS
MASS. ONE DOES NOT INCREASE
THEIR ANNUAL BUDGET. TO THE NEW.
HI THAT WE'RE SETTING --
WITH THIS WATER MARK IS THE
HIGHEST WE'VE EVER HAD AND WE'RE
SETTING OURSELVES UP TO OVER
SPENDING ALL THE REVENUES AND
WERE ASSUMING THIS WILL BE THE
CASE.
MOVING FORWARD IT'S A COMMON
ERROR FOLKS WIN.
IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR WHEN
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE ON
COMMISSION BASED.
REVENUES SAY IT'S OUR BEST YOUR
IT'LL BE THIS WAY EVERY YEAR --
VIS ARE USUALLY CANDIDATES FOR
BANKRUPTCY COURT.
SO WE CAN'T JUST TALK ABOUT
ECONOMIC CYCLES.
WE HAVE TO PREPARE FOR THEM
CONSEQUENTLY THIS BUDGET IS HALF
BAKED.
AND LEAVES A SERIOUS FISCAL
RECKONING TO THOSE WHO WILL
FOLLOW US.
AND THEY WILL SAY PROBABLY WHAT
WAS THE CLASS OF TWENTY EIGHTEEN
THINKING.
WHEN WHEN THE SUN WAS SHINING
AND WE WERE MAKING HAY?
THE FOURTH AREA IS JUST A
CONCERNED WHAT WILL HAPPEN
TOMORROW.
AND THE NEXT YEAR AND THE
FOLLOWING YEAR.
THIS STATES BLOOM SHOWS SIGNS OF
LEVELING OFF.
CALIFORNIA IS GROWING AT THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE NOT NO LONGER
FASTER.
WITH CURRENT IT'S IT'S IT NOW
FOLLOWING CURRENT TRENDS AND
ACTUALLY THE TRENDS ARE SHOWING
THAT WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA BE
GROWING SLOWER THAN THE NATIONAL
AVERAGE.
THE DATA SOWS THAT PEOPLE ARE
MOVING OUT IN GREATER NUMBERS
THAN THEY'RE MOVING IN.
SILICON VALLEY IS DOING GREAT
BUT THE REST OF THE STATE HASN'T
DONE NEARLY AS WELL.
COUNTIES ARE 92% RELIANT ON
PROPERTY TAXES.
AND WHEN VALUE START TO DECLINE
WE'LL SEE A REPEAT OF THE
220-006-22000 I DON'T NINE A
EPISODE RECALL EFFECTUALLY NOW
THE GREAT RECESSION.
BEEN THERE DONE THAT.
AND 1% OF ARE TAXPAYERS PAY 50%
OF THE PERSONAL INCOME TAX.
IT IS NOTED AS THE MOST BALK
FULL FINANCIAL STRATEGY IN THE
NATION.
WERE IN THE BOTTOM FORTY TWO
STATES ON A PER CAPITA BASIS WE
MOVED UP.
FROM FORTY THREE BECAUSE RHODE
ISLAND SHOWED UP.
NOT BECAUSE WE WERE ANY BETTER
BECAUSE THEY WERE MUCH WORSE.
SO WE'RE MOVING UP WHILE
STANDING STILL.
OUR FINANCIAL DISTRESS OCCURS
DUE TO ONE OF A COMBINATION OF
THREE REASONS [inaudible]
YOU'RE EITHER.
GUILTY OF MISMANAGEMENT.
MS JUDGMENT.
OR MISFORTUNE [inaudible]
SO.
WE'RE SEEING MISMANAGEMENT WE
HAVE INCREASED THE MINIMUM WAGE
THAT WILL START IMPACTING FUTURE
YOUR BUDGETS.
WE'RE ADDING NEW BOND DEBT
PAYMENTS WHICH WILL SQUEEZE OUT
[inaudible]
IMPORTANT PROGRAMS.
AND THE RISING PENSION PLAN
CONTRIBUTIONS ON THE HORIZON
WILL PROBABLY PUT A BOOT ON THIS
[inaudible]
LEGISLATURE'S NECK.
THE UNIVERSE YOU CALIFORNIA
THEIR EMPLOYEES WERE ON STRIKE
RECENTLY.
THE UNIONS WANT BETTER IMHO USE
BECAUSE OF RISING HOUSING COSTS.
COLLEAGUES THIS IS AN ECHO FROM
THE PRECURSOR DAYS FOR THE LAST
RECESSION HIGH HOUSING COSTS
BEFORE THE RECESSION HIT.
EVERYBODY WANTING TO HAVE
RAISES.
AND HERE WE OUR IT'S ALMOST KIND
OF SCARY [inaudible]
SURELY.
OUR MEMORIES CAN'T.
BE THAT SHORT.
THAT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THEIR COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL
FINANCIAL REPORT.
IN TWENTY SIXTEEN JUN THIRTY
TWENTY SIXTEEN THERE
UNRESTRICTED NET DEFICIT WAS
ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS THE NEXT
YEAR TWENTY SEVENTEEN IT WAS
EIGHTEEN BILLION.
UPSIDE DOWN AND WE AT THE
RETIREE MEDICAL FOR THE UC
SYSTEM.
WHEN THE BALANCE SHEET SHOWS UP
FOR JUNE THIRTY TWENTY EIGHTEEN
IT WILL BE? THIRTY SIX BILLION
DOLLARS UPSIDE DOWN THEY'RE
GONNA BE COMING TO US BECAUSE
STUDENTS DON'T WANT TO PAY
HIGHER TUITION.
THOR BIRTHRATE IS AT THE LOWEST
SINCE.
NINETEEN OH SEVEN POLLING SHOWS
THAT THREE QUARTERS OF BAY AREA
MILLENNIALS WANT TO MOVE OUT.
SACRAMENTO REVENUES ARE UP BUT
COUNTIES AND CITIES ARE
HAMSTRUNG.
CALIFORNIA'S FLESH WITH CASH
WITH ALL THE TAXES WE'VE RAISED
BUT ITS SUBSIDIARIES THOSE THAT
ARE DOING THAT.
DUTIES.
BETTER REQUIRED BY SACRAMENTO AT
THE LEVEL OF THE LOCAL LEVEL ARE
STRUGGLING AN AND PENSION COSTS
ARE CHOKING OUT OUR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS.
SO DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON
THE POVERTY LEVEL.
CALIFORNIA IS NUMBER ONE IN THIS
AWFUL CATEGORY.
TO CALIFORNIA'S INFRASTRUCTURE
IS AGING AND OUR GOVERNOR STILL
BUILDING HIGH SPEED RAIL.
COLLEAGUES I COULD GO ON BUT BUT
WE LOOK LIKE PASSENGERS ON THE
TITANIC.
AND AFFORDABILITY POVERTY
HIGHEST TAXES HIGHS DEBTS TOKEN
RAINY DAY FUND [inaudible]
SACRAMENTO HAS.
BOTCHED IT IS UP FROG IN THE
PROVERBIAL CATTLE.
WE NEED TO BE THINKING LONG TERM
NOW BECAUSE THIS BUDGET GOES
INTHE WRONG DIRECTION.
AND MAKES THE CAPITAL A
CANDIDATE TO BE A CONSUMER
CREDIT COUNSELING CLIENT.
THE MISMANAGEMENT AND MISS
JUDGMENT MUST STOP AND I URGE A
NO VOTE.
ON SB EIGHT FORTY THANK YOU
MADAM PRESIDENT.
THANK YOU SENATOR MORLOCK
SENATOR LEYVA.
WELL THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.
I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHERE TO
START NOW BUT I WILL START WITH
THIS I WILL START BY THINKING.
THE BUDGET CHAIR AND THE BUDGET
COMMITTEE AND THE CONFEREES.
I AM NOT A PART OF ANY OF THAT
BUT I AM A GRATEFUL RECIPIENT OF
ALL OF THEIR HARD WORK.
I THINK THAT SOMETIMES PROCESS
GETS IN THE WAY FOR FOLKS AND
INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT THE
PROCESS.
LOOK AT THE OUTCOME I THINK IT'S
REALLY EASY TO BE SUPER NEGATIVE
AND PINE JUST THE WORST IN
ANYTHING.
BUT I ALSO WONDER IF MY
COLLEAGUES READ A DIFFERENT
BUDGET THEN I READ.
THE ONE THAT I WAS PRIVY TO
READ.
IS PRETTY DARN COOL AND I THINK
OUR BUDGET CHAIR AND OUR
CONFEREES AND OUR BUDGET SUB
COMMITTEES DID A MAZING JOB WE
LIVE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THE FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE
WORLD.
DO WE HAVESOME PROBLEMS OF
COURSE WE DO EVERY STATE DOES
BUT I AM INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL
THAT I GET TO BE A LEGISLATURE
LEGISLATOR RIGHT NOW.
WHEN WE HAVE MONEY WHEN WE CAN
DO THINGS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES
OF CALIFORNIANS SO I RISE WITH A
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON THE
BUDGET MY PERSPECTIVE IS WE'VE
DONE SOMETHING PRETTY GREAT FOR
PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA?
I'D ALSO LIKE TO RISE AS THE
VICE CHAIR OF THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS
AND SAY THAT WE ARE INCREDIBLY
PLEASED TO SEE THAT THIS BUDGET
PRIORITIZES CALIFORNIA'S WORKING
FAMILIES.
AND THEIR CHILDREN BY MAKING
SIGNIFICANT IN CHILD CARE AND
THE ELIMINATION OF DEEP POVERTY.
THE BUDGET HELPS TO PROTECT
CHILDREN FROM THE TERRIBLE
EFFECTS OF DEEP POVERTY AND
ADDRESSES THE NEEDS OF FAMILIES
WHO CANNOT ACCESS CHILD CARE.
THIS BUDGET ALSO ADDRESSES THE
DEMANDS OF THE WORK FORCE
REFLECTED BY THE INCREASE IN
PROVIDER RATES FOR INFANTS
TODDLERS SPECIAL NEEDS.
AN EXCEPTIONAL NEEDS CHILDREN
THAT'S PRETTY GREAT WHEN PARENTS
CAN'T A FIND OR FOR CHILDCARE.
ECONOMY LOSES VALUABLE WORKERS
AND CHILDREN MISS OUT ON
OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN.
ANOTHER CRITICAL PIECE OF THIS
FUNDING BUDGET. ONE THAT IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR
SURVIVORS OF RAPE AND SEXUAL
ASSAULT.
WILL TO HELP DETERMINE THE
NUMBER OF UNTESTED RATE KIDS IN
CALIFORNIA.
AS WELL AS FUNDING TO PROMPTLY
TEST RATE KIDS THAT HAVE NOT
BEEN TESTED.
MEMBERS THIS FUNDING WILL HELP
TO IDENTIFY AND PROSECUTE
RAPISTS AND PUT THEM BEHIND BARS
WHERE THEY BELONG AND GIVE
SURVIVORS THE JUSTICE THAT THEY
DESERVE.
I WOULD ALSO AGAIN LIKE TO
APPLAUD THE WORK OF THE BUDGET
CHAIR THE BUDGET COMMITTEES AND
THE CONFEREES.
AND SAY THAT YOU KNOW IT'S EASY
TO BE NEGATIVE AND IT'S EASY TO
PICK THINGS APART WHEN WE
CELEBRATE WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED
TOGETHER I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AN AYE VOTE.
THE KEY SENATOR LEYVA SENATOR
STONE.
THOSE WANTING TO TURN.
OVER [inaudible]
SO.
COLLEAGUES FIRST OF ALL LET ME
SAY THAT --
THIS FLOOR SHOULD BE EMBRACES A
PLACE WHERE WE CAN ALL AGREE TO
DISAGREE AND TAT'S OF A
DEMOCRACY WORKS A JUST BECAUSE
SOME OF US MAY HAVE SOME
NEGATIVE --
COMMENTS ABOUT THE BUDGET AND
DOESN'T MEAN THEY WERE ENEMIES
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SO SO
MANY OF US MAY FEEL THAT WE CAN
DO BETTER.
THAT WE'RE DOING AND I'M SURE
MANY OF YOU THINK THIS IS A
GREAT BUDGET --
I DON'T THINK IT'S A GREAT
BUDGET I THINK IT'S AN ELECTION
YEAR BUDGET.
AND I'LL EXPLAIN WHY.
I FIRST WANT TO THANK THE BUDGET
CHAIR. FOR HARD WORK.
I HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING
WITH THEIR OWN BUDGET SUB THREE
FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND I KNOW
--
ABOUT HER DEDICATION --
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA SPECIAL PEOPLE THAT
--
HAVE LIMITED MEANS.
THE PEOPLE THAT WE REALLY SHOULD
BE DOING OUR BEST TO LOOK AFTER.
ALSO WANT TO THANK ALL THE
SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRS ESPECIALLY.
THE ONE THAT I SERVE WITH MY
GOOD FRIEND FROM SACRAMENTO AND
AND MONTEREY IT'S AN HONOR TO
WORK WITH YOU GENTLEMEN.
AND TO HEAR SOME OF THE VERY
MOVING STORIES OF PEOPLE THAT.
HAVE BEEN HURT --
AND PASS BUDGETS THAT WERE ONLY
LOOKING FOR SOME RESTORATION. TO
BETTER IN [inaudible]
DELIVERING [inaudible]
HUMANITARIAN CARE.
THE SO MANY PEOPLE IN OUR STATE
THAT NEED IT AND ALL THE
SENATORS AT WERE ON THE BUDGET
SUB.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND
CERTAINLY.
THE CONFEREES --
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE I
KNOW YOU SPENT MANY MANY HOURS.
AND I KNOW IT'S VERY CHALLENGING
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DEAL ON A
BICAMERAL WAY.
WHEN THE BUDGET?
GETS DONE AND AND WE HAVE TO
DEAL WITH A VERY STRONG WILLED
--
GOVERNOR.
WHICH MAKES THINGS A EVEN MORE
CHALLENGING.
YOU KNOW THE STATE BUDGET IS
ABOUT OUR PRIORITIES AND IT'S
VERY REFLECTIVE.
OF OUR VALUES.
AND AM I THINK OR SOME VERY GOOD
POSITIVE ELEMENTS TO THE THE
BUDGET.
AS ONE THAT'S BEEN --
IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR FOR NOW
[inaudible] THIRTY SEVEN YEARS
[inaudible]
AND OWNING.
ABOUT A DOZEN BUSINESSES I KNOW
THE IMPORTANCE.
OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.
I KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF PUTTING
AWAY MONEY FOUR TIMES IN WHICH
BUSINESS MAY NOT BE AS STRONG AS
YOU WISH IT COULD BE.
AND ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY
MANY SMALL BUSINESSES FAIL IS
BECAUSE THEY DON'T PROPERLY --
PUT AWAY. FOR THEIR SUSTENANCE
IS ARE BUILDING THEIR BUSINESSES
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH IN RESERVE
WHEN THINGS [inaudible]
GO SOUTH.
SO I APPLAUD THIS LEGISLATURE
AND I APPLAUD [inaudible]
THIS GOVERNOR. FOR REACHING THE
GOAL OF PUTTING 10% OF AN ANNUAL
BUDGET AWAY IN. ONE OF ARE RAINY
DAY FUNDS FOURTEEN BILLION
DOLLARS.
AND THIS IS ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT.
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE
CONDAMINE RUNS IN CYCLES.
AND I WILL TELL YOU.
SERVING ON LABOR COMMITTEE IN
SAYING.
SOME VERY CHALLENGING BUSINESS
[inaudible]
REGULATORY LAWS --
WE ARE AGAIN PUTTING UNCERTAINTY
IN THE MINDS OF MANY SMALL
BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURS WHO
EMPLOY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THE
STATE.
THAT ARE CONSIDERING LEAVING THE
STATE.
WE'VE INCREASED FUNDING FOR
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE.
EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT ENOUGH WE
WE HAD A GOAL IN THE SENATE.
AND I WORKED CLOSELY WITH MY
FRIEND FROM MONTEREY THAT WE
WERE GOING TO DELIVER.
POSSIBLE DRINKING WATER TO EVERY
CITIZEN IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
WE CAN AFFORD MORE MY FRIENDS
THE TWO HUNDRED NINETY FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS. TO DO THAT.
I MEAN AFTER ALL.
WE HAVE. NINE TEN BILLION
DOLLARS ABOVE AND BEYOND.
WILL BE EXPECTED.
IN HIS WATER.
NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH COMMODITY
TO ENSURE THAT EVERY CALIFORNIAN
GETS IT TO HAVE TO TAX PEOPLE
FOR EVERY ELECTIVE
RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE WANT TO
ASSUME IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
I WOULD OPINE THAT WE DON'T.
REMEMBER WE HAVE PROP THIRTY
TAXES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.
TEMPORARY TAXES.
WE THE GOVERNOR WHO SAID.
WE'RE NOT GONNA SPORTY TAXES
UNLESS IT COMES FROM THE PEOPLE.
BOTH A THOSE WERE VERY
DISINGENUOUS COMMENTS.
PROP THIRTY WAS EXTENDED.
CREATING A WINDFALL FOR THE
STATE A CALIFORNIA.
IN CHERNOFF WE PUT.
A TAXES THROUGH ON THIS FLOOR.
BOB DID NOT ORIGINATE IN THE
PEOPLE.
AS WAS PROMISED WHERE GOVERNOR.
WE'VE ADDED A HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS FOR ADDITIONAL
CAREER.
TECHNICAL EDUCATION WHICH I
THINK IS FANTASTIC.
BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS IS
NOT ENOUGH.
SINCE WE REALLY NEED TO ADD
FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES
THAT PROVIDE THE BACKBONE FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE TO BUILD.
A BETTER TRAINED WORK FORCE.
THAT'S WHAT THE CALLER COMMUNITY
COLLEGES ARE MEANT TO BE TWO
YEAR COLLEGES THEY WERE MEANT TO
BE. FOUR YEAR COLLEGES.
AND THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO MIMIC
THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY SO WE
CAN TRAIN.
KIDS THAT DON'T WANT TO GO TO
FOUR UNIVERSITIES WITH THE JOB
SKILLS SO THAT THEY CAN.
RAISE A FAMILY [inaudible]
AND HOPEFULLY AFFORD TO BUY A
HOME.
BUT SADLY THE MAJORITY PARTY
HEARING SACRAMENTO'S CHOSEN TO
GO.
ON YET ANOTHER SPENDING SPREE
THAT PUTS FUTURE BUDGETS IN
JEOPARDY.
ESPECIALLY IF WE SEE A DOWNTURN
IN INCOME TAX RECEIPTS THIS WE
KNOW IS VERY VOLATILE WE KNOW.
THAT THAT'S COMING BECAUSE WE
CONTINUE TO BE. ONE OF THE
HIGHEST TAXED STATES IF NOT THE
HIGHEST TAX STATE IN THE
COUNTRY.
BUT EVEN WITH NEARLY TEN BILLION
DOLLARS AND THEN ANTICIPATED
REVENUES THIS BUDGET FAILS TO
WRITE PRIOR WRONGS.
IT FAILS TO RESTORE FUNDING TO
SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE
POPULATIONS.
THAT WE ALL REPRESENT.
AND WE CAN ALL BE HEROES BECAUSE
QUANTITATIVELY.
THE FUNDS TO RESTORE.
A LOT OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE
REALLY SMALL.
MANY OF US CAN REFER TO THAT HIS
BUDGET DUST.
IT'S LATE INSIGNIFICANT WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THE BUDGET.
SURPLUSES THAT WE HAVE AND THEN
QUALITATIVELY TAKE THESE
PROGRAMS AND INSPIRE A BETTER
QUALITY OF LIFE. FOR PEOPLE THAT
WE CARE ABOUT.
IT'S AMAZING TO ME.
THAT ONE OUT OF THREE PEOPLE ON
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ARE
ENROLLED IN THE MEDICAID PROGRAM
I THINK WHEN I STARTED MY
PHARMACY CAREER NINETEEN EIGHTY
THREE WITH MY FIRST PHARMACY I
THINK ABOUT 12%.
OF THE STATE WAS IN.
ROLLED A IN THIS IN THIS
PROGRAM.
AND YET YEAR AFTER YEAR THAT
I'VE BEEN HERE COLLEAGUES.
I HAVE ADVOCATED THAT WE HAVE TO
INCREASE THE MEDI CAL RATES TO
PHYSICIANS.
BECAUSE WE HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE
THAT ARE PROMISE HEALTH.
THE CAN'T DELIBERATE.
AND YET IT WORKS AGAINST US
BECAUSE WE'RE THEY DO GET IT IN
THE EMERGENCY ROOMS COSTS TEN
TIMES AS MUCH.
WE'RE PENNYWISE AND DOLLAR
FOOLISH.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE CANNOT
RAISE THE MEDICAL FEES SO THAT
POOR PEOPLE.
CAN GET THE KIND OF HEALTH CARE
THAT YOU GET WITH GREAT BENEFITS
HERE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AND MANY GET THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
IF DOCTORS CAN'T AFFORD EXCEPT
MEDI CAL PATIENTS.
WE SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED AT
ALL.
THAT.
AVE ACTUALLY GO WITHOUT SEEING A
DOCTOR.
AND I THINK IT'S WRONG.
MY FRIENDS WE ALSO TALK ABOUT
[inaudible]
THE SLASHES.
AND MEDI CAL COVERAGE BENEFITS.
WHEN WE WENT INTO THE ECONOMIC
CRISIS?
SUCH SERVICES AUDIOLOGY.
INCONTINENCE CREAMS AND WASHES
FOR OUR GROWING ELDERLY
POPULATION.
OPTICIAN OPTICAL LAB SERVICES
PODIATRY SERVICES.
ENSURING THAT WERE TAKING CARE.
OF PEOPLE'S FEET THEIR DIABETICS
UNLESS I'M MISSING SOMETHING
MADAM CHAIR YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME
KIND OF FUNNY.
IS THAT BACK AT OKAY THOSE ARE
BACK AND THEN I WILL CORRECT
MYSELF USING MY NOTES THAT THEY
WERE TAKE OUT THEIR BACK AND I
APPLAUD THE LEGISLATURE. FOR
KEEPING THESE THINGS INTO INTO
THE BUDGET.
WE HAVE SOME VERY DEDICATED A
WORKERS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
THE TAKE CARE OF OUR
DISADVANTAGE DEVELOP A
DISADVANTAGE BACK COMMUNITIES
THAT SAW MASSIVE CUTS TWO THERE
PAYMENTS TEN YEARS AGO AND
HAVEN'T SEEN A FULL RESTORATION
OF THOSE CUTS [inaudible]
WE HAVE [inaudible]
ARE.
CENTERS IN IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND ONE IN PARTICULAR
IN SALMON DINO THEY SHARED WITH
ME.
THE SPECIAL CENTERS TO TAKE CARE
OF ARTISTIC CHILDREN THAT THEY
CAN'T LET OUT CONTRACTS BECAUSE
THERE'S NOBODY.
TO TAKE THOSE CONTRACTS BECAUSE
WE HAVEN'T UPGRADED THEIR FEES
IN OVER A DECADE.
WE NEED TO INCREASE THOSE FEES
SO WE CAN TAKE CARE OF OUR
DEVELOPMENT DISABLED
COMMUNITIES.
WE HAVE THE MONEY TO HELP THOSE.
WHO SERVE THE MEN WOMEN IN
FAMILIES HAVE THE
MOST-VULNERABLE PEOPLE BUT THIS
BUDGET FAILS TO WRITE THE PRIOR
WRONG TO RESTORE THE FUNDING
[inaudible]
THIS BUDGET.
CONTINUES TO THROW MONEY.
DOWN THE DRAIN.
THE HAND THAT TO FUND THE HIGH
SPEED RAIL BOONDOGGLE.
THAT ALL OF US KNOW.
WE'LL NEVER GET BUILT.
WE'LL NEVER GET USED.
IT WILL BE JUST NOTHING MORE
THAN A LOCAL COMMUTER RAIL.
BETWEEN A COUPLE OF CITIES. ONE
POINT ONE BILLION IS BEING SPENT
FROM CAP AND TRADE AND BOND
FUNDS TO GO WHAT COULD BE
ARGUABLY CALLED AMERICA'S
BIGGEST PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
DISASTER.
WHILE AT THE SAME TIME.
OUR ROADS ARE CRUMBLING OUR
BRIDGES ARE CRUMBLING AND
TRAFFIC IS GRINDING TO A HALT.
CREATING ONE OF THE WORST
QUALITIES OF LIFE.
OF EIGHTY THE FIFTY STATES IF
YOU HAVE TO COMMUTE TO AND FROM
WORK.
MY FRIENDS I DON'T THINK THAT
MEDI CAL HAS BEEN A GREAT MODEL.
IN THE WAY THAT WE'VE
IMPLEMENTED IT RECENTLY.
BUT WE SEE THAT WE'RE DOING A
STUDY WERE WORKING TOWARDS
GOING.
TOWARDS A GOVERNMENT SPONSORED
SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
DOUBLE.
BUT OUR PRIVATE SECTOR
BUSINESSES OUT OF BUSINESS AND
ARE HEALTHCARE DECISIONS IN THE
HANDS OF THE SAME PEOPLE RUN OUR
MEDICAL SYSTEM.
AND I JUST THINK THAT'S A BIG
MISTAKE.
I UNDERSTAND.
THAT THOSE WHO DEPEND
UNDERSTATES WILL PERSIST NUMBER
FACING HARDER CONDITIONS.
DUE TO THE EXTREMELY HIGH COST
OF LIVING IN OUR STATE I WOULD
ARGUE.
THAT WE SHOULD MAKE IT EASIER
FOR THEM TO GET TRAINED.
THE FIND A JOB.
IN THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY.
MY FRIENDS WE HAD THE DUBIOUS
DISTINCTION OF HAVING 13% OF THE
PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE UNITED
STATES LIVING IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND YET WE HAVE ONE
THIRD.
OF THE NATION'S WELFARE.
WE CANNOT KEEP.
MAKING PEOPLE DEPENDENT ON
GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE.
BECAUSE IT'S THE BEST WAY TO
PRESERVE PROPERTY.
IN RELIANCE ON GOVERNMENT FOR
THEIR BASIC NEEDS INSTEAD.
I BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD BE DRUG
TESTING ANYBODY.
BUT IS ON WELFARE AND WE SHOULD
HAVE A PROACTIVE VERIFIABLE.
JOB SEEKING REQUIREMENT OF
ANYBODY THIS ON WELFARE IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THAT WE
SHOULD BE PROVIDING
COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING TO
WELFARE RECIPIENTS.
I BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD PROVIDE
TAX CREDITS A SMALL BUSINESSES
WHO HIRE AND TRAIN PEOPLE WHO
ARE LOOKING TO COME OFF PUBLIC
ASSISTANCE.
WE SHOULD ALSO ADOPT POLICIES
THAT DON'T DENY PEOPLE BENEFITS
IF THEY FALL JUST EVEN SLIGHTLY
BELOW SOME ARBITRARY INCOME LINE
WHICH HAS BEEN VERY PUNITIVE TO
MANY OF OUR FRIENDS.
WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE WORK.
THE CURRENT BUDGET CONTINUES A
POLICY THAT ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO
STAY OUT.
OF THE WORKFORCE AT A TIME WHEN
THERE ARE MORE JOBS IN THE
UNITED STATES AND PEOPLE TO FILL
THEM.
SIMPLY KEEPING PEOPLE DEPENDENT
ON GETTING GOVERNMENT MONEY WILL
NOT WORKING DOES NOT REFLECT THE
VALUES THAT MAKES CALIFORNIA
SUCH A GREAT STATE.
YOU KNOW WE ALSO VALUE
[inaudible]
PUBLIC SAFETY.
AND WE KNOW THAT.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS A BIG
ISSUE.
IN OUR STATE AND IN OUR COUNTRY.
AND WE NEED TO RESTORE THE
FUNDING.
THE TEN MILLION BOXING GRANTS.
TO ENSURE THAT.
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT GRANTS CAN
BE GIVEN SO WE CAN STOP.
THIS HUMAN TRAFFICKING
[inaudible]
THE BOTTLE.
WE ALSO.
HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST FEW YEARS.
A MULTITUDE OF GUN BELTS
[inaudible]
AND YET [inaudible]
WE STILL.
DON'T PROVIDE THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL ENOUGH MONEY.
A CLEAR THE A TPS BACKLOG TO GET
GUNS.
OUT OF THE HANDS OF DANGEROUS
PEOPLE INSTEAD OF CONTINUALLY
PASSING LAWS TAKING GUNS OUT OF
LAWFUL ABIDE LAW ABIDING
CITIZENS.
MY FRIEND'S WE SHOULD BE UNITED
TO MAKE SURE THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL HAS THOSE FUNDS TO GET
LOOK AT TO GET THOSE DANGEROUS
GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS
[inaudible]
OF CRIMINALS.
THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT THE WORST
BUDGET I COULD HAVE EVER
IMAGINED.
BUT IN A YEAR WERE WE HAVE
RECORD REVENUES ARE GENERAL FUND
IS NEARLY A HUNDRED AND THIRTY
NINE BILLION OUR TOTAL SPENDING
IS MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED
BILLION DOLLARS.
I BELIEVE WE COULD A DONE A MUCH
BETTER JOB PRIORITIZE A
PRIORITIZING OUR SPENDING AFTER
ALL.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE
HAVE SUCH A COMPLICATED RIVER
SIR FUND STRUTURE.
THAT PUTS MONEY INTO NO FEWER
THAN FIVE DIFFERENT RESERVE
ACCOUNTS.
AND WHY IS THAT.
IS IT BECAUSE THE LEGISLATURE
WANTS TO GET AROUND THE GAM
LIMIT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PUT IN
PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT
TAXPAYERS WEREN'T OVERTAXED BY
SAYING.
WHEN YOU RECESSED CERTAIN
THRESHOLD AND GOAL BEYOND IT?
THAT YOU HAVE TO LOWER THE STATE
A A SALES TAX BY A QUARTER OF A
POINT.
IS EARNING WRONG WITH GIVING
PACKED OR CITIZENS THAT HAVE
BEEN BURDENED WITH THE HIGHEST
TAXES IN THE COUNTRY.
EVEN THOUGH WERE A BIG STATE
WITH MASSIVE WITH A MASSIVE
BUDGET IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT
OUR PRIORITIES.
AREN'T REALLY THAT COMPLICATED.
WE SHOULD PAY FOR THE THINGS WE
NEED TO HELP THOSE.
CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES WE SHOULD
PAY FOR PROGRAMS TO KEEP PEOPLE
SAFE WE SHOULD PAY FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN OUR
EXISTING FUNDS THAT ALLOWS
PEOPLE TO GET FROM POINT A TO
POINT B. WITHOUT RUINING THEIR
CARS.
ON ROADS FILLED WITH CRACKS AND
POTHOLES.
I REALLY WISH I COULD STAND HERE
AND VOTE FOR THIS BUDGET BUT I
JUST DON'T BELIEVE HER REFLECTS
THE HIGHER VALUES.
THAT MY DISTRICT HOLDS AND FOR
THOSE REASONS.
THANK YOU SENATOR STONE FURTHER
DEBATE OR DISCUSSION SENATOR.
BOTTOM PRO TEM.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT
[inaudible]
I I ACTUALLY STAND IN NOT JUST
SUPPORT OF THIS BUDGET BUT
ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT. FOR THOSE
OF US WHO ARE AYE.
WERE ELECTED IN.
TWENTY TEN AND HAD TO DEAL WITH
A TWENTY SEVEN BILLION DOLLAR
DEFICIT HAD WE HAD A FIFTEEN
POINT NINE BILLION DOLLAR
RESERVE.
THAT YEAR.
ARE ALL OF THE POOR PEOPLE WE
KEEP TALKING ABOUT.
WOULD HAVE HAD A SAFETY NET TO
FALL BACK ON AS WE CUT HEALTH
AND HUMAN SERVICES.
AS WE SAW EDUCATION IN TWENTY
ELEVEN TWENTY TWELVE AYE AT A
BUDGET THAT WAS SO SMALL ARE OF
FORTY FOUR BILLION DOLLARS ARE
OUR EDUCATION BUDGET TODAY K.
THROUGH.
TWELVE IS OVER SEVENTY EIGHT
BILLION DOLLARS THAT'S A 66%
INCREASE SINCE.
TWENTY ELEVEN TWELVE I FOR ALL
THE TALK ABOUT POOR PEOPLE ON
ONE HAND. TO STAND HERE AND TALK
ABOUT DENYING THEM SAFETY NET
SERVICES OR INCREASED --
RESOURCES ON PROGRAMS THAT
ACTUALLY.
WE THOUGHT ABOUT FOR YEARS.
THOUGHT ABOUT FOR YEARS.
WE HAVE OUR LOOKED AT CHILD CARE
FOR THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS
--
AT THE LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S
CAUCUS AND WE STAYED FOCUSED ON
THAT BECAUSE WE SAID A ONE TIME
INVESTMENT.
DOES NOT CHANGE THE LIVES.
OF WOMEN AND MEN --
WHO HAVE FEWER RESOURCES AND
YET?
HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION AS TO
WHETHER THEY'RE GONNA SPEND
EVERY BIT OF THE MONEY THEY MAKE
IT A JOB PAYING FOR CHILDCARE SO
WHAT IS THE POINT.
SO LET'S ENSURE THAT THERE'S
ACTUALLY SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES
AND WORKING CALIFORNIANS AN HAD
CHILDCARE RESOURCES WORDS SO
THAT THEY ACTUALLY CAN WORK AND
HAVE CHILDCARE.
AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE TAX BASE.
WE'VE DONE THAT THAT'S BEEN
THAT'S BEEN A FOCUS AND AN
INTEGRATED --
PROCESS TO ADD.
YEAR AFTER YEAR AS WE COULD AS
WE FINANCIALLY COULD. TO HELP
THOSE POOR PEOPLE THAT WE KEEP
TALKING ABOUT.
EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT WE HAVE
EXPANDED IT THIS WILL BE THE
THIRD YEAR THAT WE'VE WORKED TO
ACTUALLY --
EXPERIENCE SOMETHING THAT WORKS
BAD I GOES ALONG WITH THE
FEDERAL TAX CREDIT THAT ACTUALLY
PUTS MONEY IN THE HANDS OF
WORKING CALIFORNIANS.
IT TYPICALLY SUPPORT SMALL
BUSINESS BECAUSE PEOPLE SPEND
MONEY IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND
COMMUNITIES.
IT'S A GOOD PROGRAM.
WE'RE CONSTANTLY BUILDING AND
INTEGRATING HOW WE PUT THESE
PROGRAMS TOGETHER TO PROVIDE
SAFETY NET.
AND GET TO A POINT OF A
FOUNDATION THAT THAT WORKING
CALIFORNIANS CAN [inaudible]
DO BETTER.
AND IN DOING SO I YOU KNOW.
I LOOK IT'S NOT A PERFECT BUDGET
IF IT WERE.
WE WE WOULD WE WOULD HAVE ALL
KINDS OF THINGS WHO WE WOULD
HAVE A AN INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE
SYSTEM WHERE EVERYBODY COULD GET
HEALTHCARE.
AND THE COST WOULD BE REDUCED
AND THE ACCESS YOU KNOW I CAN I
CAN IN VISION AND DREAM AND HAVE
--
THOSE.
I THOUGHT AS WELL BUT WHAT WE
ARE DOING SHOULD NOT BE
DETRACTED FROM IN TERMS OF
TRYING TO PRESENT THE WORST
POSSIBLE CASE.
WE'RE PUTTING MONEY INTO HOUSING
WE HAVE THAT WE HAVE A POVERTY
LEVEL BECAUSE WE NEED TO ADDRESS
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY.
AND WE ARE WORKING TO DO THAT
THIS YEAR.
FOLLOWING LONG LAST YEAR'S
PACKAGE OF HOUSING BILLS ALSO
NOT PERFECT.
BUT I GUARANTEE YOU THERE ARE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE A ROOF OVER
THEIR HEAD TONIGHT THEY DIDN'T
HAVE A YEAR AGO.
BECAUSE WE'VE CONTINUED TO
INVEST DOLLARS INTO DEVELOPMENT.
OF LOW INCOME AND SUBSIDIZED
HOUSING FOR VETERANS FOR SENIORS
FOR FOSTER KIDS FOR WORKING
MOTHERS FOR FAMILIES.
THE TRY TO ADDRESS AT HUNDRED
THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND OF FIGURE
OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS AND
LIVING ON THE STREETS IN
CALIFORNIA WE'VE INVESTED IN
HOMELESSNESS.
BY PUTTING MONEY ON THE GROUND
FOR CITIES AND CONTINUOUS OF
CARE WHO WORK ON THIS ISSUE
EVERY SINGLE DAY THE STATE'S NOT
USING THAT MONEY WE'RE GETTING
IT OUT. TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO
ON THE GROUND WORKING WITH
COMMUNITIES TO DO THAT.
I WISH WE'D HAD THIS MONEY IN.
TWENTY TEN I THINK A RESERVE AND
IT WAS THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED
--
A RAINY DAY FUND.
THAT WE PUT ON THE BALLOT SO
THAT THERE WOULD BE [inaudible]
THAT MONEY AND THEN WE HAVE A
REGULAR RESERVE.
AND NOW WE'RE PROPOSING A SAFETY
NET RESERVE IN INVESTING TWO
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS TO GET
STARTED ON YET ANOTHER RESERVE
SO THAT WE ARE TRYING TO BE
PREPARED.
WHEN I?
MORE DIFFICULT DAYS COME THIS IS
THE BEST POSITION WE'VE BEEN IN
IN YEARS AND WE ARE INVESTING IN
INFRASTRUCTURE.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE LOOK AT
THE DECADE IN WHICH WE WEREN'T
ABLE TO PAY FOR EDUCATION.
SO HOW COULD WE EVEN GET TO
INFRASTRUCTURE.
YOU KNOW OUR CONSTITUENTS TELL
US EVERY PERMITTING ME COMMUNITY
MEETING I GO TO THE EDUCATION IS
IMPORTANT.
CATER TWELVE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
AND HIGHER EDUCATION WE PUT MORE
MONEY INTO HIGHER EDUCATION THIS
YEAR.
SO THE KIDS ALL ACROSS
CALIFORNIA CAN ACTUALLY GO TO
COLLEGE.
AND AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THEIR
CAREER PATH WILL BE I WOULD NOT
BE HERE FOURTH OUT A COLLEGE
EDUCATION THAT MY PARENTS COULD
NOT AFFORD [inaudible]
I WORKED.
I GOT GRANTS I GOT LOANS THAT
TOOK ME TEN YEARS TO PAY BACK.
BUT I GUARANTEE YOU I WOULDN'T
BE HERE TODAY WITHOUT THAT
ACCESS IN THAT OPPORTUNITY WE
ARE PUT AND AND YOU KNOW THAT'S
MY STORY.
YOU'VE ALL GIVEN ME THE STORIES
WE ALL HAVE THE STORIES.
OF OUR FAMILIES AND OUR FRIENDS
AND OUR RELATIVES WHO WOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO TO SOME OF
THE FINEST INSTITUTIONS IN
COLLEGES IN THIS COUNTRY.
ARE HEARING CALIFORNIA WE
WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT
WITHOUT THE INVESTMENT WE'RE
MAKING WE'RE RESPONDING TO OUR
CONSTITUENTS INTO IN TERMS OF
EDUCATION FUNDING.
I AM PROUD TO GO HOME AND TELL
MY CONSTITUENTS WHAT WE'VE DONE
AYE HAVING YOU SEE I HAVE A CSU
I HAVE A TON OF COMMUNITY
COLLEGES I'VE PRIVATE
INSTITUTIONS U. S. DEEP POINT
LOMA NAZARENE.
ALL OF THEM FEEL PRETTY GOOD
TODAY BECAUSE THEY THINK WE
HEARD THEM.
THEY THINK WE HEARD THEM AND
WE'RE PUTTING MONEY INTO
INFRASTRUCTURE TO HELP THEM ON
THEIR BACKLOG OF DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE IT'S NOT EVERYTHING
THEY NEED.
BUT IT'S A GOOD START AND WHILE
WE HAVE THE MONEY WE SHOULD BE
DOING THAT.
AND LET'S JUST SAY I DO WANT TO
HAVE STREETS WITH FEWER
POTHOLES.
AND THE FIVE BILLION DOLLARS
THAT WE ARE PUTTING INTO
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR OUR BRIDGES
OUR STREETS NOT JUST IN THE
STATE BUT IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES
MONEY GOING BACK TO OUR CITIES.
WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO BE ABLE
TO USE THOSE DOLLARS TO RESPOND
TO THEIR COMMUNITIES?
AND ACTUALLY EXPAND AND IMPROVE
UPON THE STREET RESURFACING THE
REPAVING.
PROJECTS THAT COMMUNITIES HAVE
WANTED FOR YEARS AND NOT HAD
MONEY.
THEY NOW HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
CONSIDER THAT AND GO TO THEIR
LOCAL OP PLANNING ORGANIZATIONS
TO GET FUNDING.
SO IT'S NOT A PERFECT BUDGET.
IT'S NOT A PERFECT BUDGET.
BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS I FEEL
PRETTY GOOD TO BE GOING HOME AND
GOING TO COMMUNITY MEETINGS IN
THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO MONTHS OR
THREE MONTHS.
SO I CAN SHARE WITH THEM WHAT WE
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO
[inaudible]
AND I I WANT TO COMMEND AYE YOU
KNOW THERE'S A LOT. TO SAY ABOUT
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO
THIS IS A SOLID BUDGET IT'S
SOLID.
AND IT BUILDS UPON WHAT WE'VE
ALREADY DONE IT DOESN'T GO OVER
HERE AND DO THIS AND THEN GO
OVER THERE AND DO THAT IT BILLS.
ON WHAT WE'VE TRIED TO DO.
SO I MORE THAN ANYTHING.
APPRECIATE MY COLLEAGUES WHO
SPENT THE TIME TO PUT THIS
TOGETHER AND MAKE HARD DECISIONS
BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT'S HARDER TO
MAKE DECISIONS WHEN YOU HAVE
MONEY.
BECAUSE THEN YOU HAVE TO
CONSIDER BETWEEN ALL OF THE
THINGS WE CARE ABOUT.
AND WE CAN'T DO IT ALL.
LET'S NOT FORGET WE'VE ALSO
FINALLY STARTED AT MONEY BACK
INTO OUR COURT SYSTEM.
WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT FOR PUBLIC
SAFETY.
WE'RE WE'RE STARTING TO DO THOSE
THINGS SO.
ARE I HOPE WE BUILD NOT ONLY ON
THIS YEAR BUT INTO NEXT YEAR AND
TO BE ABLE TO DO MORE OF THE
THINGS THAT WE THINK ARE SO
IMPORTANT.
I APPRECIATE MY COLLEAGUES I
APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS OF MY
COLLEAGUE WHO SAYS WE NEED TO
CONTINUE TO IMPROVE UPON PROCESS
OF COURSE WE DO.
THAT'S ARE CHALLENGE
[inaudible]
AND HOPEFULLY WE DO A BETTER JOB
MOVING FORWARD.
BUT TODAY I FEEL GOOD TO BE HERE
TO SUPPORT THIS BUDGET AND I I
THINK ARE AT THE END OF THE DAY
IF WHAT WE DO.
RESPONSE TO OUR CONSTITUENTS
DEALS WITH REAL NEED AND REAL
ISSUES AND REAL PEOPLE'S LIVES.
AND WE CONTINUE TO KEEP THAT IS
OUR FOCUS THEN WE SHOULD FEEL
GOOD.
ABOUT A SOLID BUDGET NOT A
PERFECT BUDGET BUT A SOLID
BUDGET.
I RESPECTFULLY AND PROBABLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE.
ON OUR I SP EIGHT FORTY AND THIS
YEAR'S BUDGET.
THANK YOU MADAM PRO TEM.
OTHER DEBATER DISCUSSION SENATOR

ON THE SO THE PROCESS IN OUR SUB
KAMALA THANK MY SUBCOMMITTEE

THAT I COULD CENTER FROM TO
MACULA AND FROM CARMEL --
YOU KNOW WE WE SPEND ASTIR
BUDGET CHAIR MENTIONED THE ARTS
OF COMMITTEES WE HAD SOME
HEARINGS LASTED THIS MUCH EIGHT
HOURS [inaudible]
AND SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE
CERTAINLY THE SPEND IN THE
BUDGET ITSELF I THINK THE
OVERSIGHT THAT WE DID AND
DECISIONS THAT WE CHOICES WE
HAVE TO MAKE ALSO TO ENSURE
THAT.
WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE THE MOST
OUT OF THE FUNDS THAT WE HAD
AVAILABLE CLEARLY --
YOU KNOW THIS YEAR'S THAT QUOTE
GOOD BUDGET YEAR IN TERMS OF
REVENUE.
BUT NO WE DID STILL HAVE TO MAKE
CHOICES AND I BELIEVE THAT --
YEAH I'M IN WE WORKED FOR
EXAMPLE I JUST PICK ONE EXAMPLE
--
VERY BRIEFLY --
FOR EXAMPLE THIS YEAR I'M VERY
PROUD THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY ABLE
TO DO THE CASH OUT WHICH IS
ACTUALLY MEAN WE'RE PULLING DOWN
MORE FEDERAL FUNDS. FOR A PEOPLE
WHO ARE ON SSI THAT'S GONNA HELP
SUPPORT TO BE SURE THAT THEY CAN
GET MORE ASSISTANCE.
AND THAT'S MEANS THAT --
WE'RE ABLE TO GET THAT MORE
RESOURCES FOR THEM AND THAT'S
BECAUSE OF OUR OVERSIGHT
FUNCTION NOT JUST BECAUSE OF HOW
MUCH MONEY WE'RE PUTTING INTO
THAT AND THAT'S THE TYPE PART
THE PROCESS I THINK WE ALSO NEED
TO ACKNOWLEDGE IN DOING THIS
BUDGET AND AGAIN.
HIRES --

WHILE I FULLY APPRECIATE THE
FACT THAT MY BUDGET COMMITTEE
VICE CHAIR --
I HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT
PROCESS.
LET ME SAY THAT TO HEAR HIS
COLLEAGUES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE AISLE.
DON'T HAVE THE CORNER ON THE
MARKET FOR DESIRING TRANSPARENCY
OR AN EFFECTIVE PROCESS.
WE ALL DO.
I THINK ULTIMATELY THE QUESTION
REMAINS FOR ALL OF US TO PONDER
IS WHAT IS THE ROLE OF
GOVERNMENT.
WHO ARE WE SERVING?
AND WHAT SHOULD THAT SERVICE
LOOK LIKE.
WITH REGARD TO THE BUDGET
PROCESS.
IT IS IN FACT THEY TRY CAMEL
EXPERIENCE.
THE NATURE OF THE PROCESS
INVOLVES THE ASSEMBLY THE SENATE
AS WELL AS THE ADMINISTRATION.
AND THOSE OF US WHO HAVE SERVED
LONGER IN THIS BODY HID NO THAT.
EVEN BETTER.
THE BUDGET PROCESS IS THE
PEOPLE'S WORK.
AND THAT'S WHAT ALL OF US WERE
ELECTED TO DO.
AND I BELIEVE COLLEAGUES AT THAT
IS FAR FROM NOTHING.
WE HAVE THE COLLECTIVE
RESPONSIBILITY [inaudible] TO
ENGAGE [inaudible]
READ IT.
LEARN IT.
UNDERSTAND IT.
SPEAK TO IT.
BE IT FOR IT OR AGAINST IT.
AND DO WHAT OUR CONSTITUENTS
ELECTED US TO DO.
COM AND CAST OUR VOTE.
THIS BUDGET STRIKES A BALANCE.
BETWEEN PRUDENT PLANNING FOR THE
FUTURE.
AND ACKNOWLEDGING THE HUMAN
DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE
NEEDS.
ALL FORTY MILLION PEOPLE TODAY.
SO IF YOU ARE INDEED CONCERNED
ABOUT [inaudible]
POVERTY ALLEVIATION [inaudible]
EDUCATION EQUITY [inaudible]
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY.
CHILD CARE ACCESS AND
AFFORDABILITY.
THE PROVISION OF BRIDGE FUNDING
TO OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS WHO
CARE FOR THOSE --
OF OUR FELLOW CALIFORNIANS WHO
ARE DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED.
IF YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT ACCESS
TO JUSTICE TO THE COURT SYSTEM.
IF YOU SUPPORT HIGHER EDUCATION.
I WOULD ARGUE THAT THE TIME FOR
DEBATE IS INDEED OVER.
AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU
VOTE BY ON SB.

CHIEF DEBATE OR DISCUSSION.
ON THIS ITEM DEBATE OR
DISCUSSION [inaudible]
SENATOR GLAZERS.
THANK YOU AYE MADAME PRESIDENT
AND AND MEMBERS.
I DIDN'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK ON THE BUDGET BILL
DIRECTLY.
AYE SO AS A PRELUDE TO MY
REMARKS ON THIS PARTICULAR BILL
LET ME JUST SAY THAT.
I WAS PLEASED TO SUPPORT THE
BUDGET TODAY I THINK IT'S IT AND
IT'S AN EXCELLENT DOCUMENT IT
MAKES IN SUCH ENORMOUS PROGRESS
IN SO MANY.
PLACES THAT I NEED IN OUR STATE
NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH IS TIED
OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM.
ARE THOSE WHO LIVE IN POVERTY
AND HEALTH CARE AND HEALTHCARE
NEEDS IN A VARIETY OF OTHER
PLACES --
AND AS THE CASE WITH ANY KIND OF
A BUDGET THAT IS THIS LARGE
THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT YOU
LIKE AND THEN THERE ARE A FEW
THINGS THAT.
YOU THINK WE CAN DO A LITTLE BIT
BETTER ON AND SO.
REGRETTABLY IN THE CASE OF THIS
TRAILER BILL IT'S AN AREA WHERE
I THINK WE CAN.
WE CAN IMPROVE UPON AND I WANT
TO EXPLAIN WHY.
THIS BILL SETS FORTH.
HOW THE STATE WILL SPEND MONEY
THAT WE EXPECT THAT TO
EVENTUALLY FLOW AND?
FROM THE PROP TO RAINY DAY FUND.
ONCE THAT RESERVISTS.
HOT FULL TO THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT
THAT OUR CONSTITUTIONAL LAOS.
AND IT'S AN ISSUE WE WOULDN'T
EVEN HAVE TO CONSIDER IF WE WERE
NOT ALSO GOING ALONG WITH THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL.
TO FILL THE RAINY DAY FUND MORE
QUICKLY THAN THE CONSTITUTION
REQUIRES.
AND IT SEEMS ON THE SURFACE THAT
THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL SOUNDS
PRUDENT.
BUT I LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S HAS
LOOKED AT THIS PROPOSAL AND IT
WAS IN THE GOVERNOR'S ORIGINAL
BUDGET THAT HE SUBMITTED IN
JANUARY AND THE ANALYSTS.
I IN THE REPORT IN MARCH TOOK A
LOOK AT AT WHAT HE'S SUGGESTING.
TO PUT THIS EXTRA THREE POINT
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS INTO THE
THE SO CALLED RAINY DAY FUND AND
THEIR CONCLUSION WAS.
BUT IT WAS NOT A PRUDENT STEP TO
TAKE.
AND THEY THEY BASED ON THE FACT
THAT BY FILLING THE FUND TODAY
WITH THIS EXTRA THREE POINT FIVE
BILLION DOLLARS.
WE WILL SET THE STATE ON A PATH
TO SPEND RATHER THAN SAVE.
MORE OF THE SURPLUS IN THE YEARS
AHEAD.
GONNA SET US ON A PATH TO SPEND
RATHER THAN SAVE MORE MONEY IN
THE YEARS AHEAD.
THE CONSTITUTION REQUIRES THAT
ONCE THE RAINY DAY FUND REACHES
10% OF THE GENERAL FUND.
ANY ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT WOULD
HAVE THAT THAT WOULD THAT WOULD
CUT ME WOULD HAVE TO BE
DIRECTED.
OUGHT TO BE SPENT ON
INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND BY BY DOING SO WE WE SET IN
MOTION A CHAIN OF EVENTS --
THAT THIS BILL COMPOUNDS BY
SPELLING OUT EXACTLY HOW THAT
IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE MONEY.
IS REQUIRED TO BE SPENT.
I AND THIS THIS MONEY THAT --
IS IS BEING REQUIRED TO BE SPENT
ON INFRASTRUCTURE IS MONEY THAT
WE COULD SPEND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES.
THAT WE MAY VALUE MORE HIGHLY BY
THE TIME THAT.
BUT SPENDING IS IS REQUIRED AND
THESE.
THESE AREAS INCLUDE PLACES WHICH
WE TALK ABOUT A LOT ON THIS
FLOOR AND IN COMMITTEE.
SAFETY NET PROGRAMS SCHOOLS
HIGHER EDUCATION.
OR ANY OTHER PROGRAMS.
THAT ARE CONSTITUENTS VALUE.
SO WHEN THAT RECESSION HITS.
AND THESE PROGRAMS FACE CUTS.
WE COULD VERY WELL REGRET THE
DAY THAT WE WENT ALONG WITH THAT
THE GOVERNOR'S PLAN.
BUT IS NOW TIED OUR HANDS.
AND A PLAN THAT FORCES US TO
SPEND MONEY THAT WE COULD HAVE
SAVED.
THIS BILL DEDICATES THAT THE
FIRST FOUR HUNDRED FIFTEEN
MILLION DOLLARS THAT COMES IN.
AFTER THE RAINY DAY FUND IS
FILLED. TO BE ALLOCATED TO A NEW
INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE FUND.
AND AFTER THAT HALF OF ANY
SURPLUS FUNDS WOULD GO TO A
HOUSING REHABILITATION LOAN
FUND.
AND THE OTHER HALF AGO TO A
NEWLY CREATED REAL CONCEPTION
FUND.
AND THAT REAL MONEY.
AS WE'VE HEARD TO GO TO SUPPORT
CONSTRUCTION OF HIGH SPEED RAIL.
THERE'S NO WAY TO KNOW TODAY
EXACTLY HOW MUCH OF THAT MONEY
WILL GO INTO THE RAIL FIND AND
EVENTUALLY TO HIGH SPEED RAIL.
BUT OUR BUDGET STAFF ESTIMATES
THEIR BEST ESTIMATE IS THAT
STARTING NEXT YEAR ABOUT A
BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR WILL
FLOW.
FROM THE RAINY DAY FUND INTO ALL
THESE NEW INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECTS.
AND OF THAT AMOUNT.
ABOUT THREE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR WILL GO INTO NEW
RAIL CONSTRUCTION.
IT'S ABOUT A BILLION DOLLARS
OVER THE THREE YEAR LIFE.
OF THIS MEASURE.
AND THAT MONEY WOULD BE
CONTINUOUSLY APPROPRIATED TO THE
REAL FINE WITHOUT ANY FURTHER
ACTION BY THE LEGISLATURE.
AS LONG AS THE RAINY DAY FUND IS
FULL AND MORE MONEY IS COMING IN
[inaudible]
WE JUST.
ELABORATE ON THAT SO.
WE TALK ABOUT THE BALANCE OF
POWER HERE IN OUR STATE.
AND THE ROLE OF THE LEGISLATURE
ONE OF THE OF THE RARE.
PLACES IN WHICH WE HAVE
INFLUENCE IS THE ABILITY TO
DIRECT HOW MONEY IS SPENT.
BUT IF WE ALLOW THE
ADMINISTRATION --
TO HAVE THAT SPENDING OBLIGATION
WITHOUT ANY OVERSIGHT WE'VE
COMPLETELY CHANGE THE THE
BALANCE OF POWER THAT WE HAVE
HERE -- IN
OUR STATE GOVERNMENT AND WE DID
THIS ONCE BEFORE A NUMBER OF
YEARS AGO.
OUT WHEN WE HAVE DEDICATED FUNDS
--
FROM OUR ARE AYE THAT CAP AND
TRADE FUNDS TO GO AUTOMATICALLY
TO HIGH SPEED RAIL NO NO LONGER
ANY LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT THAT'S
WHY.
IN BUDGET AFTER BUDGET THAT WE
HAVE ENACTED IN THE LAST FEW
YEARS WE HAVE.
NEVER HAD A VOTE.
ON THAT.
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
EVEN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT
WE'RE SPENDING A HIGH SPEED RAIL
BECAUSE OF A COMPONENT THAT
EXACTLY IN THIS BILL THAT GAVE
THE POWER TO THE ADMINISTRATION
JUST SPEND THE MONEY.
WITHOUT ANY LEGISLATIVE
OVERSIGHT.
THIS BILL EMPOWERS THE SECRETARY
OF TRANSPORTATION ALLOCATE THAT
MONEY TO REAL PROJECTS.
OF HIS OR HER CHOOSING WITHOUT
ANY FURTHER ACTION.
FROM THE LEGISLATURE.
AND KEEP IN MIND AT THE CREATION
OF THIS RAIL FIND.
WAS NOT PROPOSED IN THE IN THE
GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET.
IT WAS NOT PROPOSING THAT IN THE
GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISED BUDGET.
IT IS NOT A PROPOSAL THAT'S BEEN
HEARD BY OUR TRANSPORTATION
COMMITTEE NOR THE SUB COMMITTEES
OF THE BUDGET THAT DEAL IN
TRANSPORTATION.
IT'S A PROPOSAL THAT CAME OUT.
OF THE ADMINISTRATION WITHIN THE
LAST SEVENTY TWO HOURS.
WE DON'T NEED TO GIVE CONTROL
OVER BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A
FUTURE REVENUE HAS BEEN
RECOMMENDED NOW.
ARE FISCAL EXPERT ADVISORS ON
THE BETTER PATH TO TAKE ON THIS
ISSUE.
THEY OFFERED UP A NUMBER
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THEY CALLED
PRUDENT ALTERNATIVES THESE ARE
OUR FISCAL EXPERTS.
THEY SAID WE COULD CREATE A NEW
RESERVE FUND AND DEPOSITED INTO.
AYE AND DEPOSIT INTO IT THE SAME
THREE POINT FIVE BILLION DOLLARS
AT THE GOVERNOR WANTS TO PUT IN
THIS RAINY DAY RESERVE.
THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO SET ASIDE
MONEY FOR FUTURE PURPOSES
WITHOUT TRIGGERING THE MANDATORY
INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING.
THIS BILL WOULD REQUIRE.
THEY ALSO SUGGEST THAT WE COULD
USE THE MONEY TO PRE PAY SOME OF
OUR PENSION OBLIGATIONS TO OUR
EMPLOYEES IN OUR STATE RETIREES.
THAT WOULD ALSO FREE UP MONEY.
FOR OTHER PURPOSES AS THE
LEGISLATURE DECIDES AND FINALLY
THEY SAID WE GET SET ASIDE MONEY
FOR FUTURE PAYMENTS.
ON GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND DEBT
SERVICE.
UNLIKE THE INFASTRUCTURE
PAYMENTS REQUIRED BY THIS BILL.
OUR EXISTING BOND THAT IS
ALREADY AN OBLIGATION.
THAT WILL TAKE FUTURE GENERAL
FUND REVENUES TO PAY.
USING SOME OF THE SURPLUS FOR
THAT PURPOSE WITHIN FREE UP THAT
GENERAL FUND MONEY FOR OTHER
PURPOSES SHOULD THAT.
NEED ARISE.
SO TOGETHER THE BUDGET AND AND
THIS BILL NEEDLESSLY COMMITS THE
STATE TO SPENDING MONEY ON
INFRASTRUCTURE RATHER THAN
SAVING IT.
AND COMMITTING US TO DIRECT.
THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING
AND WAYS IN WHICH WE MAY NOT
NEED TO DO TODAY.
I AM CLUED IN THE POSSIBILITY OF
FUNDING HIGH SPEED RAIL.
PROJECT THAT'S OVER BUDGET
BEHIND SCHEDULE AND HAS NO
CREDIBLE PLAN FOR HOW WE WILL
OPERATE WITHOUT A MASSIVE
[inaudible]
SUBSIDY.
IN THAT CONVERSATION WE HAD IN
THE BUDGET COMMITTEE A FEW DAYS
AGO.
ARE THE REPRESENT OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE SAID.
DON'T WORRY.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO FILL UP THIS
RAINY DAY FUND RIGHT AWAY THAT
THERE'S TIME --
THAT IT'S GOING TO BE FILLED UP
OVER THE COURSE OF THIS COMING
YEAR.
AND MEMBERS THAT'S THE BEST
ARGUMENT OF ALL TO NOT TAKE
ACTIONS DAY THERE'S NO NEED. TO
TAKE ACTION TODAY.
I KNOW THE MOMENTUM IS TO MOVE
THIS BILL FORWARD I UNDERSTAND
THAT EXCEPT THAT.
I DON'T THINK IT'S A PRUDENT
STEP FOR US TO TAKE IN ITS WHY.
I CAN'T BE SUPPORTIVE OF IT
TODAY.

BUT THANK YOU SENATOR MITCHELL
THE FLOOR'S YOURS THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
THIS TRAILER BILL COLLEAGUES
ESTABLISHES A GOVERNANCE
FRAMEWORK FOR MOVING FORWARD
WITH CONSTRUCTION.
ON THIS CAPITOL BUILDINGS ANNEX
THE CONSTRUCTION WAS ALREADY
AUTHORIZED IN TWENTY SIXTEEN AND
IS NECESSARY TO ADDRESS SERIOUS
DEFICIENCIES.
IN THE CURRENT STRUCTURES
FUNCTIONALITY SECURITY
DISABILITY ACCESS AND OVERALL
SAFETY.
THE BILL ALSO AUTHORIZES
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW OFFICE
BUILDING AT TENTH AND STREETS
THE NEW BUILDING WILL SERVE AS
WHAT THEY CALL SWINGS SPACE FOR
THE LEGISLATURE AND EXECUTIVE
BRANCH.
DURING CONSTRUCTION ON THE
ANNEX.
OVER THE LONGER TERM IT WILL
PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL STATE
OFFICE BUILDING NEAR THE
CAPITAL.
IT IS EXPECTED THAT WORK ON THE
ANNEX WILL MOSTLY BE FUNDED BY
RESOURCES FROM THE STATE PROJECT
INFRASTRUCTURE FUND.
BUT THIS BILL PROVIDES AUTHORITY
TO ISSUE LEASE REVENUE BONDS IF
NECESSARY.
THE BILL ALSO AUTHORIZES LEASE
REVENUE BONDS FOR THE NEW OFFICE
BUILDING.
I ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE.
YOU SENATOR MITCHELL DEBATE OR
DISCUSSION.
SEEING AND HEARING NONE EXCUSE
ME SENATOR GLAZER.
THANK YOU ARE MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS AND AS I MENTIONED
EARLIER IT'S DIFFICULT WHEN.
YOU'RE SO I AM PRESS WITH THE
THE WORKER THE BUDGET TWO I
OBJECT TO SOME OF THESE OTHER
ISSUES IN ON FORCING THIS IS
ALSO ONE OF THOSE AND I MEMBERS
WE'VE HEARD ABOUT THE THAT THE
FOR IMPROVEMENT TOO ARE
LEGISLATIVE OFFICES IN THOSE OF
US IN ALL OF US WHO WORK HERE.
I SEE THAT THE CONCERNS UP FRONT
AND PERSONAL.
WE KNOW ABOUT SOME OF THE SAFETY
ISSUES WE KNOW.
ABOUT SOMEBODY ACCESS CONCERNS
ANOTHER BILLION DOLLARS IS A LOT
OF MONEY TO SPEND --
ON A BUILDING AND ON
INFRASTRUCTURE --
THE THE GOVERNOR AND HIS WISDOM
THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE IS SAID A CREATED WHAT'S
CALLED THE A FIVE YEAR
INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN FOR
CALIFORNIA.
AND THIS IS A DOCUMENT THAT
REVIEWS ALL OF THE
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS OF THE
STATE.
AYE NOT JUST OURS HERE IN THE IN
THE LEGISLATURE.
AND TRIES TO ANALYZE THE DEMANDS
IN AND NEED SIX CETERA.
ON OUR A WHOLE HOST OF AREAS AND
AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY --
ITWHEN YOU READ THE DOCUMENT
YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S A THAT THE
NEEDS ARE GREAT.
NEEDS ARE GREAT AND THAT THE THE
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOR FILLING
THEM HAVE THE SAME KIND OF
CONSEQUENCES THAT WE TALK ABOUT
IN REGARD TO OUR OWN OFFICES
SAFETY.
I ISSUE SEISMIC ISSUES --
AND THE LIKE.
I AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SAFETY
A COUPLE THINGS CAUGHT MY
ATTENTION IN THIS PLAN ON PAGE
NINETEEN IT TALKS ABOUT --
INFASTRUCTURE TO MODERNIZE AND
IMPROVE FACILITIES THAT PROVIDE
ESSENTIAL SAFETY SERVICES FOR
OUR STATE TALK ABOUT CHP
OFFICERS SHERIFFS OFFICES
EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTERS.
AND THEY AYE IN THIS PLAN
IDENTIFY THAT IN NINETEEN EIGHTY
SIX WE PASSED THE SEISMIC SAFETY
ACT.
IT SAID THAT IN THESE ESSENTIAL
SERVICES WE NEEDED TO OPERATE
THEM TO PROTECT THESE.
PLACES IN CASE OF AN EARTHQUAKE.
AND THIS REPORT FROM THE
GOVERNOR POINTS OUT THAT 65% OF
THESE OFFICES DO NOT AT THIS
MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
ACT.
ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT IT
TALKS ABOUT THE ISSUE OF MENTAL
HEALTH CARE OF OUR STATE.
AND IT THAT REFLECTS ON THE
MENTAL --
HOSPITALS --
THAT WE HAVE IN CALIFORNIA
[inaudible]
ON DEPARTMENT OF STATE HOSPITALS
AND THE NEEDS THAT WE HAVE THERE
AND WE TALK ABOUT HOW OLD OUR
ANNEXES ARE LEGISLATIVE ADDICTS.
FULLER IN CALIFORNIA WE HAVE
FIVE A HOSPITAL FACILITIES AND
THEY RANGE IN AGE FROM SIXTY TWO
TO A HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE YEARS
OLD.
A HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE YEARS
OLD AND THEY HAVE MANY NEEDS AS
WELL SO MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS
LEGISLATION IS NOT THAT WE DON'T
HAVE THE NEED HERE.
OFFER THESE OFFICES THE SUITE OF
OFFICES.
I THE VISITOR CENTER THE PARKING
STRUCTURE.
WHAT'S THAT THAT WE'VE NEVER
MADE THE EFFORT TO TRY TO
PRIORITIZE THESE INFRASTRUCTURE
ISSUES IN OUR STATE --
NOW MANY OF US ARE FAMILIAR WITH
THE DECISION THAT THE VOTERS
MADE A COUPLE YEARS AGO TO
SUPPORT A WATER BOND.
AND DECIDE TO SPEND A COUPLE
BILLION DOLLARS FOR OUR OUR
WATER NEEDS IN OUR STATE.
AND LET'S COMPARE THAT WHAT
pBEING PROPOSED TODAY.
THEY WENT THROUGH A YEAR LONG
PROCESS TO IDENTIFY.
THE PRIORITIES IN THE CRITERIA
THAT THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN
REGARD TO FUNDING THESE WATER
PROJECTS NAY ASKED THAT WATER
STAKEHOLDERS TO PROPOSE.
VARIOUS PROJECTS ARE THAT WOULD
AND EXCEED THESE CRITERIA THAT
HAD BEEN ESTABLISHED.
AND SO AS MANY OF YOU KNOW OUR
WATER AGENCIES HAVE SUBMITTED
PROPOSALS THEY'VE BEEN
EVALUATED.
IN A TRANSPARENT MANNER THERE'D
BEEN RATED AND THOSE RATINGS
HAVE DRAFT RELATE RATINGS HAVE
BEEN RELEASED SO PEOPLE CAN
CONTINUE TO COMMENT.
AND THERE'S BEEN A THOROUGH
PROCESS THAT THEY'VE GONE
THROUGH TO TRY.
TO IDENTIFY THE MOST IMPORTANT
NEED SO THAT WE CAN MAKE GOOD
CHOICES IN TERMS OF HOW WE SPEND
THAT.
THAT WATER INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND IN THE CASE OF OUR OFFICES
UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NOT BEEN
ABLE TO SEE THAT PROCESS.
I DON'T THINK OUR VOTERS ARE
ABLE TO SEE THAT PROCESS.
SEE HOW WE'VE MADE THAT COULD
CHOICES THERE AND FINALLY LET ME
SAY THIS THAT.
IT'S ONE THING TO OUT MAKE A
CHOICE ABOUT SPENDING ON
OURSELVES ON THE THINGS THAT WE
DO IT'S ANOTHER THING TO DO IT
IN A WAY THAT CIRCUMVENTS --
REQUIREMENTS THAT EVERYBODY ELSE
HAS TO FOLLOW.
AND I'M SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY
ABOUT THE ISSUE OF THE
CALIFORNIAN VIRAL QUALITY ACT.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF A
CONVERSATION ABOUT WHETHER I
IT'S SERVING ITS PURPOSE IN HOW
WE CAN MAKE SURE WE IT HERE TO
ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS BUT I'D
MAKE SURE THAT GOOD PROJECTS GET
GET FUNDED.
AND GET PUT INTO EFFECT
[inaudible]
I THOUGHT THE PROPOSAL BEFORE
YOU SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDES.
OUR OUR OUR FACILITIES AND ARE
ANCILLARY STRUCTURES INCLUDING
OUR PARKING STRUCTURE FOR THE
FULL REQUIREMENTS OF SEQUEL.
AND IT SETS OUT THE PROCESS THAT
IF THERE'S AN OBJECTION TO OUR
PROJECT THAT.
THE COURTS HAVE TO RESOLVE IT
WITHIN TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY DAYS.
AND I ACTUALLY THINK THAT THAT'S
A REASONABLE PROPOSAL PUT
FORWARD.
SO THAT ANY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
GET RESOLVED BUT THEY DO IT IN A
IN AN EXPEDITIOUS MANNER I
PROPOSE THE SAME IDEA. FOR THOSE
WHO WANT TO CONSTRUCT HOUSING
ETHICALLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN
OUR STATE THIS YEAR.
AND FORTUNATE THAT BILL DIDN'T
MOVE BEYOND ITS INITIAL.
COMMITTEE BECAUSE PEOPLE SPOKE
UP AND SAID SOMEHOW THAT ARE
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT IS NOT
GETTING IN THE WAY OF GOOD
HOUSING CONSTRUCTION.
AND OUR STATE THEN WHY MEMBERS
DO WE APPLY THAT EXEMPTION TO
OUR OWN.
FACILITIES AS PROPOSED IN THIS
BILL AND FOR THOSE REASONS THAT
RELUCTANTLY I CAN'T SUPPORT IT
TODAY.
THANK YOU SENATOR GLAZER SENATOR
MONNING FOLLOWED BY SENATOR
PENN.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS.
I STE.
IN STRONG SUPPORT OF AB EIGHTEEN
TWENTY SIX I JUST WANT HIM
REMIND MEMBERS I THINK IT'S A
MIS CHARACTERIZATION.
SAY WE'RE VOTING ON SOMETHING TO
BUILD.
SOMETHING FOR OURSELVES.
IT'S REMEMBER THAT THE STATE
CAPITOL IS THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE.
IT INCLUDES MORE THAN THE
MEMBERS ON THIS FLOOR IN THE
MEMBERS IN THE ASSEMBLY INCLUDES
ALL OF OUR STAFF.
IT INCLUDES VISITORS INCLUDES
OVER ONE MILLION VISITORS A
YEAR.
AND IN THE EVALUATIONS.
OF SAFETY ISSUES.
AND ARE ANTIQUATED.
CAPITOLBUILDING AN ANNEX.
WE HAVE FIRE RISKS SEISMIC RISKS
TOXIC RISKS.
RISKS THAT WE OWE IT TO THE
PEOPLE WHO WORK HERE AND THE
PEOPLE WHO VISIT HERE
[inaudible]
PEOPLE'S HOUSE EVERY YEAR TO
HAVE PROVIDE THEM.
SAFE AND SECURE --
PLACE TO VISIT.
PLACE TO TESTIFY PLACE TO WATCH
THEIR GOVERNMENT INACTION.
I ALSO JUST COMMENT BRIEFLY.
ON THE CONCERN RAISED ABOUT
SEQUENCE.
IF YOU READ THE LANGUAGE S. DOES
NOT PROVIDE [inaudible]
A WAIVER.
IT PROVIDES AN EXPEDITED PROCESS
BUT NOT A WAIVER WE DON'T
SACRIFICE ANY ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY STANDARDS OR
REQUIREMENTS.
SO I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT THIS
TRAILER BILL IN ITS TOTALITY.
IT IS RESPONSIBLE.
IT MOVES FORWARD.
IT DOES NOT IN ANY MANNER --
OBVIATE AGAINST.
INVESTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE AND
OTHER STATE BUILDINGS IN FACT WE
ARE.
A ALLOCATING TO OTHER STATE
BUILDINGS WERE MAKING THE
HISTORIC ALLOCATION TO OUR ROADS
AND INFRASTRUCTURE IN AN EARLIER
--
TRANSPORTATION BILL THAT WE
PASSED.
WE ARE INVESTING IN THE FUTURE
OF THIS STATE THIS BILL TAKES
THE RESPONSIBLE POSITION OF
INVESTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE IT'S
USED BY OVER A MILLION
CALIFORNIANS A YEAR.
AYE URGENT AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU SENATOR MONNING
SENATOR PAN --
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT
SENATORS I TO A RISE IN SUPPORT.
OF THIS --
THIS BILL.
AND IF A PRE SHEET OF THE THE
CONCERNS OF MY GOOD FRIEND FROM
CONTRA COSTA --
I WOULD POINT OUT SO THAT
ACTUALLY.
I AND MY GOOD FRIEND FROM --
CAR MALLON'S AS WELL AS TO
MACULAR IN OUR BUDGET
SUBCOMMITTEE ACTUALLY WE'VE
MENTIONED STATE HOSPITALS WE
WERE ADDRESSING INFRASTRUCTURE
WE ACTUALLY VOTED ON ISSUES TO
DEAL WITH INFRASTRUCTURE READ.
SPILLWAYS --
I ALSO APPRECIATE THAT WE
ACTUALLY HAVE PUT FUNDING TO TRY
TRUSTS ARE MANY OF OUR STATE
BUILDINGS I ACTUALLY APPRECIATE
--
FURTHER SUPPORT FOR THAT BECAUSE
OF THE SENATOR HERE FROM
SACRAMENTO BECAUSE THOSE ARE MY
CONSTITUENTS WHO ARE WORKING
THERE SERVING THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA.
BUT ALSO MAKE NOTE THAT I GUESS
MY CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN TERMS
OF LOOKING AT TO THIS IS BECAUSE
I WILL PROBABLY UNLIKELY STILL
BE IN OFFICE AT THE TIME.
THEY BUILD THE NEW ANNEX.
HOWEVER I WILL BE A CONSTITUENT.
I'LL BE CONSTITUENTS WHOEVER IS
ELECTED TO SUCCEED ME INTO
REPRESENTS ME IN THE ASSEMBLY
AND I'LL BE HERE TO PETITION BY
LEGISLATORS.
BY LEGISLATORS FOR THINGS THAT I
THINK THAT WE NEED TO DO TO
CONTINUE TO MOVE OUR STATE.
FOR SURE WE SERVE ARE YOU
UNDERSERVED THAT WE THAT WE
ADVOCATE FOR THE KIND OF
INFRASTRUCTURE WE NEED IN OUR
STATE.
AND ENTERING INTO THIS FACILITY
AS A CONSTITUENT I WANNA BE SURE
IT'S SAFE.
I'LL BE SURE IT'S SAFE FROM --
BUT THERE IT'S THAT THREATS FROM
OUTSIDE OR VETS INTERNALLY I
WANT TO BE SURE THAT THE AREA
SAFE ACTUALLY YOU ARE H. TAXES.
THIS UNDERPOWERED.
I WOULD HATE FOR THERE TO BE A
FIRE SENSE USUALLY MOST EVERY
PUBLIC BUILDING I GO TO HAS FIRE
SPRINKLERS.
THIS ONE DOESN'T HAVE SPIRE
SPRINKLERS.
AS I AM GOING TO PETITION MY
LEGISLATOR MAYBE PERHAPS ATTEND
THE HEARING OF LIKE TO HAVE GOOD
BROAD ENOUGH BROADBAND ACCESS
AND I CAN LOOK UP STUFF THAT I
WANT TO LOOK UP IN TERMS OF
MAKING MY TESTIMONY --
BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF
INFRASTRUCTURE OUR ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM IS UNDERPOWERED HERE I
MEAN THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT IN
A DIFFERENT ERA [inaudible]
SO.
I HAVE TO SAY THAT YES IT WILL
BENEFIT ME BECAUSE I IS A
CONSTITUENT AS A CITIZEN OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WANT TO BE
ABLE TO PETITION MY
REPRESENTATIVES.
THE FUTURE.
AND A BUILDING WHERE IT WILL BE
SAFE --
WHERE I WILL BE SAFE --
THAT'LL HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE
NECESSARY TO BE ABLE FOR ME TO
DO THAT AND THAT MY
REPRESENTATIVE WILL HAVE THE
SUPPORTS AS WELL THEM TO DO A
GOOD JOB.
AND HAVE A SAFE PLACE FOR
THEMSELVES AND THEIR STAFF TO DO
THE KIND OF WORK THAT EXPECTING
TO DO ON MY BEHALF AS MY
REPRESENTATIVE SO THAT AYE
URGENT AYE VOTES THANK YOU.
THANK YOU CENTER PAN SENATOR
MORLOCK FOLLOWED BY SENATOR
FULLER.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.
I I WILL TORN NOW [inaudible]
I SUPPORT.
AB EIGHTEEN SIX TWENTY SIX I SIT
ON THE JOINT RULES COMMITTEE IN
IT.
REVIEW THE ANNEX AND THE NEED
FOR A REPLACEMENT.
I I APPRECIATE THAT I ALSO
APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WE CAN
MAKE DO.
SO WE LOOK AT THE BILL.
IT ALSO AUTHORIZES AC ONE POINT
TWO BILLION IN BONDS.
I JUST READ BOOKS AND DIGGING
INTO THIS BILL NOW I'M I'M
THINKING YOU KNOW MAYBE.
MAYBE THERE'S AN ANSWER
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE.
WHY DO WE JUST [inaudible]
COMMISSION.
BUT THE BUILDING THE BELTS OR
BUILDINGS IN THIS CASE BECAUSE
WE HAVE TO MOVE EVERYBODY
SOMEWHERE IN THE MEANTIME.
AND IF IT.
IT'S GOING TO COST ONE POINT TWO
BILLION WHEN WE GIVE CALPERS THE
CONTRACT TO BUILD.
THIS PROJECT FOR ONE BILLION.
I'M ASSUMING MAYBE TWO POINT
THREE MILLION SQUARE FEET THAT
WILL ENJOY.
UP TO LOOK AT THE DETAILS I
APOLOGIZE.
BUT THAT WOULD GIVE THEM A 7%
RETURN ON THEIR MONEY WHICH
WOULD MEET THEIR INVESTMENT
ASSUMPTION.
AND WE ALL WENT.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.
THANK YOU CENTER MORE LIKE
SENATOR FULLER.
WELL NOT TO BELABOR THIS POINT
BUT I WANT TO SAY THAT I'M VERY
CAN LIFTED BY THIS BUDGET TODAY.
AND THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE WELL
WE HAVE A COMPROMISE BUDGET.
AND THE REASON I'M CONFLICT IS
BECAUSE I BELIEVE EDUCATION
NEEDS THE MONEY PROBLEM NOT A
VERY BIG FAN OF HIGH SPEED RAIL
AS YOU MAY GUESS.
AND SO I'M I'M I'M GOING THROUGH
THE ITEMS ONE BY.
ONE AND THIS ITEM.
WELL AS A FORMER SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT WHEN I CAME TO
THIS BUILDING I WAS SHOCKED I
WAS GONNA HAVE TO WORK HERE.
THERE ARE WAIVERS ON PRACTICALLY
EVERYTHING THAT.
THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS TO DO
TO KEEP THEIR BUILDING SAID
[inaudible]
AND THEN.
I NOTICED ALL SCHOOL CHILDREN
WHO COME THROUGH HERE.
EVERY DAY.
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
SO WHEN ARE WE GOING TO FIX THIS
BUILDING THAT BELONGS TO THE
PUBLIC I HAVE TO WORK HERE I'M
NOT GONNA WORK YOU MUCH LONGER
AS MOST OF YOU KNOW.
BUT AT THE ED OF THE DAY.
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO FIX THIS
BUILDING?
WHAT BETTER TIME A WE HAVE ONE
TIME ONE TIME MONEY?
AND WE HAVE MORE THAN WE USUALLY
HAVE.
AND WE FIX THIS PLACE THOUGH
THAT I AM NOT EMBARRASSED TO
HAVE MY STAFF HAVE TO WORK HERE.
AND MY PUBLIC'S CHILDREN HAVE TO
COME HERE.
AND BE ENDANGERED THANK YOU FOR
PUTTING THIS IN THE BUDGET.
THANK YOU CENTER FULLER ANY
FURTHER DEBATE OR DISCUSSION
SEEING AND HEARING NONE SENATOR
MITCHELL YOU MAY CLOSE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH UP MADAM
PRESIDENT --
AND TO RESPOND TO SOME OF THE
ISSUES RAISED.
IN. TWENTY SEVENTEEN TWO MILLION
380-005-0020 TWO PEOPLE WALK
THROUGH THE DOORS OF OUR STATE
CAPITOL.
I HAPPENED TO BE HERE THIS PAST
SATURDAY AND I THINK WE IT IS
OUR WORKPLACE SO WE EXPECTED TO
BE BUSTLING MONDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY.
AND I WAS STRUCK BY THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE WHO WERE HERE ON A
SATURDAY IN THE SUMMERTIME COME
TO THEIR STATE CAPITOL.
WALKING THE HALLS LOOKING AT ALL
OF THE COUNTY DISPLAYS
DOWNSTAIRS. TWO MILLION
380-005-0020 TWO AND TWENTY
SEVENTEEN ALONE.
WE HAVE TAKEN ACTION LIKE BY TO
READ THE REPORT OUR COLLEAGUE
REFERENCED IN.
SEVERAL OF OUR SUBCOMMITTEES
HAVE TAKEN ACTION ON
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS ARM FOR
MANY OF OUR STATE BUILDINGS.
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE HAS
TAKEN ACTION FOR MANY OF OUR
STATE PRISONS EDUCATION
COMMITTEE IS ALLOCATED FUNDS TO
MANY OF OUR COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES.
ALMOND WE ALL KNOW THAT WHEN THE
BUDGET A SLAM REPLACING THE ROOF
ON YOUR HOUSE IS THE LAST THING
THAT YOU WANT TO DO.
AND SO FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS WE
HAVE NOT STEPPED UP AND DONE
WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO IN TERMS OF
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR STATE
PROPERTY.
AND INCREMENTALLY WE'RE TRYING
TO DO BETTER.
A NUMBER OF THOSE STATE ARM
HOSPITAL THE NORTH HEALTH
FACILITIES ARE ON A THE CLOSURE
SCHEDULE.
AND YET AND STILL WE'VE HAD TO
PUT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO
REPLACE BOILERS AND OTHER
THINGS.
TO DO WHAT WE COULD TO KEEP THEM
IN OPERATING ORDER. TO THE BEST
OF OUR BUDGET ABILITY.
I WOULD HATE TO THINK.
THAT I WAS A SITTING MEMBER OF
THIS LEGISLATURE TO HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY.
WHEN THE RESOURCES WERE
AVAILABLE AND WE HAD THE WILL OF
THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE
MAJORITY THE LEGISLATURE TO NOT
TAKE ACTION?
AND BEGIN THE PROCESS TO
REBUILD.
WHEN I CONSIDER WHAT COULD
HAPPEN ON A DAY?
WHEN FORTY TWO OH THREE IS
FILLED TO CAPACITY FORTY TWO OH
TWO IS FILLED TO CAPACITY?
AND IT'S SPRINGTIME THE WE HAVE
HUNDREDS OF FOURTH GRADERS
LEARNING ABOUT CALIFORNIA
HISTORY IN OUR HALLWAY IN OUR
CALLS.
AND WE HAVE TO STAIRCASES TO
ATTEMPT TO EVACUATE SIX FLOORS.
I WOULDN'T WANT THAT RESTING ON
ME. TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE
ISSUES OUR COLLEAGUE REYES WITH
REGARD TO SEEK WELL I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYBODY IS CLEAR FIRST THE
STREAMLINING INCLUDED IN THIS
TRAILER BILL.
WAS ALREADY PROVIDED WITH
RESPECT TO CONSTRUCTION ON THE
AYE ANNEX BACK IN.
TWENTY SIXTEEN THIS BILL SIMPLY
EXPAND THAT EXISTING POLICY TO
OTHER ANCILLARY IMPROVEMENTS
RELATED TO THE ANNEX AND TO THE
NEW OFFICE BUILDING THAT WILL
SERVE AS THE SWING SPACE.
THE QUESTION WAS ALSO RAISED
WITH REGARD TO SIMILAR TREATMENT
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
IN FACT WE DO ALREADY PROVIDE
SEQUENCE STREAMLINING FOR SOME
AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR OTHER
PROJECTS UNDER SEQUEL.
PACIFIC WE A. B. NINE HUNDRED
WAS ACTED INACTIVE IN. TWENTY
ELEVEN TO PROVIDE FOR THIS VERY
VERY SAME EXPEDITED JUDICIAL
REVIEW FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AND OTHER PROJECTS.
THAT THE CAPITAL ANNEXES NOW
GETTING.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT
THOSE PROJECTS MUST MEET CERTAIN
HIGHER ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS
STANDARDS.
THE SECOND PART OF SECRET
STREAMLINING UNDER A. B. NINE
HUNDRED IS TO ALLOW CONCURRENT
PREPARATION OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD.
IN ORDER TO FURTHER REDUCE
DELAYS ASSOCIATED WITH SEQUEL
LITIGATION.
THAT PROVISION WAS EXPANDED TO
APPLY TO ALL PROJECT TWO YEARS
AGO FILLED ANY PROJECT INCLUDING
AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT
CAN AVAIL ITSELF OF THE
STREAMLINING.
UNDER A BI NINE HUNDRED THE
STATE IS BUILT AT LEAST AS WE
COULD FIND SEVEN NEW PART OR
WHOLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECTS.
IN BOTH LA IN THE BAY AREA.
ALONG WITH SEVERAL RENEWABLE
ENERGY PROJECTS.
CAN'T THIS TO HEADQUARTERS.
LASTLY TO BE CLEAR THE PROCESS
IN THIS BILL AND IN CURRENT LAW
UNDER AB NINE HUNDRED DOES NOT
LIMIT SECRET REVIEW IN ANY
MATTER.
IT SIMPLY REQUIRES THE COURTS TO
EXPEDITE JUDICIAL REVIEW OF ANY
SECRET CHALLENGE TO THOSE
PROJECTS NO LITIGATION RIGHT TO
LIMITED.
AND A FULL III ARE STILL MUST BE
PREPARED.
WITH THOSE ARM POINTS OF
CLARIFICATION I ASK FOR YOUR AYE

HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN

I ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE.
DEBATE OR DISCUSSION ON THIS
ITEM [inaudible]
SENATOR WIENER.
I THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM
PRESIDENT I RISE IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL AND I OUT SPECIFICALLY
I AM THRILLED THAT THE STATE IS
INCREASING ITS ROLE.
BY AND I HELPING OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES OUR DEAD PEOPLE WHO
WERE LIVING ON OUR STREETS INTO
A MORE STABLE SITUATION.
I'VE THE HOMELESSNESS SITUATION
IN CALIFORNIA HAS SPIRALED SO
FAR OUT OF CONTROL ARE AS A
RESULT OF THE EXTREME COSTS OF
HOUSING.
I WHICH IS PUSHING MORE PEOPLE
MORE FAMILIES CHILDREN ONTO OUR
STREETS IN SAN FRANCISCO WE
HAVE.
TWENTY TWO HUNDRED CHILDREN IN
OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE WHO ARE
HOMELESS AND THIS IS REALLY JUST
A HUMAN TRAGEDY OF MASSIVE US
SCALE AND IT IS STATEWIDE IT'S
NOT JUST.
IN OUR BIGGEST CITIES IT IS
EVERYWHERE --
AND SPECIFICALLY I WANT TO THANK
OUR LEADERSHIP --
AND THE BUDGET COMMITTEE ARE.
A FINDING THAT IS DEDICATED IN
THIS BUDGET OUGHT TO HOMELESS
YOUTH WE HAVE FIFTEEN THOUSAND
ARE YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING ON THE
STREETS OF CALIFORNIA.
AYE AND THE STATE NEEDS TO DO
MORE PARTICULARLY SINCE TWO
THIRDS OF COUNTIES I DO NOT HAVE
YOUTH SPECIFIC HOMELESS SERVICES
AYE SO AGAIN THANK YOU TO
EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS HAPPEN
AND I WILL BE SUPPORTING IT.
THANK YOU SENATOR WINNER SENATOR
MONNING.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT I ALSO
RISE IN SUPPORT.
OF S. B. EIGHT FIFTY ONE TO
COMMENT.
PARTICULARLY ON THE PROVISIONS
THAT ALLOW FOR THE OPENING OF
MIGRANT FARM WORKER HOUSING FOR
YEAR ROUND OCCUPANCY.
WHEN THESE HOUSING FACILITIES
WERE BUILT?
THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR
AGRICULTURAL WORK FORCE WERE
SEEK A SEASONAL MIGRANT WORKERS
--
THAT CULTURE THAT ECONOMY HAS
TRANSITIONED OVER THE YEARS OVER
THE DECADES.
WHERE THE DREAM OF IMMIGRANT
WORKERS NO DIFFERENT THAN IT
DREAM OF OTHER CALIFORNIANS TO
ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN TO GET AN
EDUCATION TO BE ESTABLISHED IN
OUR SCHOOLS --
AS RENTERS AS WORKERS THEY ARE
TAXPAYERS AND YET THE CURRENT
SYSTEM THE ANTIQUATED.
ONE AFTER THE HARVEST SEASON
ENDS.
THEIR FORCED TO LEAVE THE
TEMPORARY HOUSING TAKING
CHILDREN OUT OF THE SCHOOLS --
HAVING TO FIND A NEW PLACE TO
LIVE HAVING TO FIND A NEW SCHOOL
SYSTEM FOR THE CHILD TO BEING
ENROLLED IN.
THIS IS A STEP FORWARD IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION IT IS BEING DONE
INCREMENTALLY I URGE AN AYE
VOTE.
THANK YOU SENATOR MONNING ANY
FURTHER DEBATE OR DISCUSSION
[inaudible]
SENATOR SKINNER.
I ALSO STAND IN SUPPORT OF THEIR
SIN WHILE.
I THINK THE THOSE OF US WHO.
PARTICIPATED IN THE BUDGET
HEARINGS AND ALSO A FOLLOWED TO
THE BILL THAT.
MY OUR COLLEAGUE FROM SAN JOSE
AND I INTRODUCED.
WE WERE HOPING OF COURSE --
TO INJECT.
ADDITIONAL FUNDS TOWARDS OUR
HOMELESS PROBLEM THE CRISIS THAT
ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES ARE
FACING.
AND I THINK AS I'VE SPOKEN ON
THE FLOOR BEFORE. TO THE FACT
THAT.
IT'S A NONE OF US WANT TO WALK
DOWN THE STREETS OF OUR
COMMUNITIES AND SEE PEOPLE
SLEEPING IN DOORWAYS OR SEE THE
TENT ENCAMPMENTS.
AND SO WHILE I AM THAT I AM VERY
PLEASED THAT WE ARE ABLE TO
DIRECT THE MONEY THAT IS IN THIS
ITEM AND THERE'S FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION.
THAT WOULD GO IN THE EMERGENCY
--
FUNDS SO THAT OUR CITIES AND
COUNTIES WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY
TO PROVIDE SHELTER.
HOMELESS SUPPORTIVE SERVICES AND
HOUSING TO ADDRESS THIS CRISIS.
I TAKE SOME SOLACE IN THE FACT
THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
THAT WE ALSO IN A PREVIOUS
ACTION ARE TOPPING UP.
WILL IT ENABLE MONEY TO GO TO
THE MULTI FAMILY HOUSING WHICH
WOULD ALLOW US TO DO.
THAT PERMANENT AFFORDABLE
HOUSING WHICH OF COURSE NO PLACE
LIKE HOME IN SOME OTHER MEASURES
ARE ALSO GOING TO ALLOW US TO
DO.
SO WHILE MANY OF US WERE HOPING
FOR MORE THIS IS A GREAT
ADDITION TO THE OTHER.
ALLOCATIONS THAT WE HAVE BEEN
MAKING AND WILL BE MAKING AND SO
I SUPPORT THIS BILL.
THANK THANK YOU SENATOR SKINNER
SENATOR BILL.
A RISE IN --
RELUCTANT SUPPORT FOR THIS
MEASURE I I WAS A LITTLE
DISAPPOINTED IT WASN'T --
A LARGER AMOUNT --
I THINK THAT --
WE DID INCREASE.
OF MONEY AND OTHER AREAS FOR
HOUSING.
UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS HOUSING --
THERE WAS PROVIDED BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AT THE
COUNTY JAILS.
AND I WILL AND I I WANT TO POINT
OUT THAT IF YOU DON'T WANT
PEOPLE.
IN THE COUNTY JAILS AND THE
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.
YOU GOTTA HAVE SOME ALTERNATIVE
HOUSING.
PLACE THEM IN.
AND THAT'S REALLY THE TRUE WAY
WEEKEND DIVERT PEOPLE INTO A
MORE THERAPEUTIC ENVIRONMENT A
MORE SUCCESSFUL --
ENVIRONMENT AS WELL AS PROVIDE
HOUSING FOR FIRST TIME
