A FORMER COLLEAGUE.

THE FORMER STATE SENATOR ROBERT
CLIP PRESLEY SO IF WE COULD HAVE
YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE.
CENTER NIELSEN THAT ARE PRESENT
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE SENATE
AND PERMISSION TO DISPLAY THE
BLUE BOOK WITHOUT OBJECTION.
THIS IS A NINETEEN SEVENTY FIVE
ADDITION OF THE LEGISLATIVE BLUE
BOOK THERE'S A BEEN A LATER ONE
MORE RECENTLY ABOUT A DECADE AGO.
THESE USED TO BE REGULARLY
PRINTED BUT NOT SO MUCH ANYMORE
BUT THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT
SENATOR BOB PRESLEY APPEARED IN.
HE HAD BEEN ELECTED IN.
NINETEEN SEVENTY FOUR I HAD THE
PLEASURE OF COMING ALONG FOUR
YEARS LATER AND SERVING.
MANY YEARS WITH BOB PRESLEY.
CENTER PRESLEY.
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN WAS THE
EPITOME.
OF WHAT A CENTER [inaudible] TO
BE [inaudible]
DISTINGUISHED [inaudible]
RESPECTFUL [inaudible]
BRIGHT.
VERY FOR STUDIOUSLY.
HE DID THE RULES OF THE
INSTITUTION.
IS A FRIENDLY MAN.
HE HAD A VERY WRY SENSE OF HUMOR.
DRY AND DRY.
AND HE HAD AN INCREDIBLE
[inaudible]
LIFE.
IN WORLD WAR.
TWO HE RECEIVED THE BRONZE STAR
[inaudible]
IN COMBAT [inaudible]
IN ITALY.
THAT'S ONE OF THE HIGHEST HONORS
ACCORDED. TO A MILITARY HERO.
BUT NEVER TALKED ABOUT THAT.
AS DID MOST OF THE WORLD WAR TWO
VETERANS.
BUT HE CARRIED HIMSELF WITH THE
BEARING OF ONE WHO HAD.
BEEN IN VERY DIFFICULT
SITUATIONS.
WHO HAD COME TO TERMS OF THOSE
SITUATIONS?
DEALT WITH THEM AND APPLIED WHAT
HE HAD LEARNED IN THOSE ARDUOUS
TIMES.
THE WHAT HE WAS DOING
[inaudible]
TODAY.
THERE WAS A AND I WAS A BRAND
NEW.
SENATOR IN THE BEEN BALD AND
CRIME VICTIMS ISSUES AND PUBLIC
SAFETY NOT TO THE DEGREE THAT
BOB PRESLEY THOUGH.
HE HAD A TWENTY FOUR YEAR CAREER.
IN THE RIVERSIDE [inaudible]
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
AFTER THAT TIME HE SERVED IN THE
THE STEAM POSITION [inaudible]
AS UNDERSHERIFF.
OF THAT COUNTY [inaudible]
HE KNEW [inaudible]
LAW ENFORCEMENT.
IT CAME HERE [inaudible]
ANY CERTAINLY.
DID STAKE OUT.
THE LEADERSHIP ROLE.
AND PUBLIC SAFETY.
BUT HE HAD MANY OTHER INTERESTS.
CHILDREN.
WERE VERY MUCH [inaudible]
OF INTEREST [inaudible]
BOB PRESLEY.
HE HAS SERVED AS HEAD OF THE
FINANCE COMMITTEE.
MANY COMMITTEES THE SERVER.
AND DURING THE PERIOD WHEN WE
WERE BUILDING PRISONS.
HE WAS A CHAIR.
APPROPRIATELY OF THE OVERSIGHT
COMMITTEE.
THE CAP ON AYE ON HOW WE WERE
DOING THESE PRISONS AND THAT WE
WERE GETTING THEM DONE.
AND THAT THEY WERE FUNCTIONING.
HE WAS QUITE A ENVIRONMENTALIST
AS WELL.
KERRY MANY BILLS PARTICULAR
RELATED TO AIR QUALITY.
THE DISTRICT HE REPRESENTED IS
BEEN MUCH AFFECTED OVER THE
DECADES.
WITH AIR POLLUTION.
AND BOB IS ALWAYS.
AT THE HEAD OF THE CURVE
[inaudible]
FIGHTING. FOR CLEAN AIR. FOR THE
PEOPLE THAT HE REPRESENTED
[inaudible]
BOB PRESLEY.
VOTED.
THE DISTRICT [inaudible]
NOT [inaudible]
THE PARTY.
BUT THE DISTRICT THAT HE
REPRESENTED.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS ALWAYS SO
OVERWHELMINGLY [inaudible]
ELECTED [inaudible]
AND REELECTED.
AS A ROOKIE SENATOR I HAD THE
PRIVILEGE OF BEING ONE OF WHAT
WAS CALLED THE GANG OF FOUR
MAYBE IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SO
CALLED GAINES AROUND THIS PLACE
HAVE BEEN SEVERAL SENSE BUT THE
GANG OF FOUR THEN WAS.
BOB PRESLEY.
AND JIM NIELSEN IN THE SENATE
[inaudible]
ALISTAIR MCALLISTER.
AND DAVE STERLING IN THE
ASSEMBLY. TWO REPUBLICANS TWO
DEMOCRATS.
THE GANG OF FOUR AUTHORED ALL OF
THE MAJOR PUBLIC SAFETY BILLS.
OF THAT ERA.
AND I DO NOT KNOW WHO GAVE US
THAT DESIGNATION THE GANG OF
FOUR BUT IT WAS AN INTERESTING
COMBINATION.
A BI PARTISAN [inaudible]
COMBINATION.
AND ONE YEAR WE PUT TOGETHER
SOMETHING CALLED COMMITMENT TO
COUNTIES TO COUNTIES OF ALWAYS
BEEN THE STEPCHILD OF GOVERNMENT.
IN MANY RESPECTS.
THEN THIS WAS AN ATTEMPT TO HELP
THE COUNTIES.
VERY A SERVICE CARRIED WERE THE
LEAD WITH THE OTHERS BEING JOINT
AUTHORS.
BOB GREAT CONTRIBUTION BEING THE
LEAD AUTHOR.
OF SOMETHING THOSE CALL TRIAL
COURT FUNDING.
IN WHICH I WOULD SAY YET EVEN
TODAY IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW IF
NOT THE ONLY TIME THE STATE HAS
EVER CAPAS WORD TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENT.
TRIAL COURT FUNDING WAS THIS
SYSTEM.
WITH THE CONDUCT THEIR TRIAL
COURTS [inaudible]
FINANCIAL.
AND IT STAYED AROUND.
IT WAS A QUESTION. FOR MANY MANY
YEARS.
AND IT CERTAINLY DID HELP OUR
COUNTIES IN UNDERSTAND THAT
KINDA CAME ON THE HEELS OF PROP.
THIRTEEN COUNTY SAN WERE
STRUGGLING.
AND THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL.
THAT I CONSIDER THAT ONE OF THE
LANDMARK ACCOMPLISHMENTS
[inaudible]
BOB PRESLEY [inaudible]
HE WITH SUCH A A FRIENDLY FELLOW.
I DON'T THINK I'VE SAW HIM GET
ANGRY.
THE MOST I COULD SAY I SAW BOB
PRESLEY AS HE WOULD GET SERIOUS.
NOW HE DID NOT END HIS
[inaudible] TEN YEAR.
SERVING THE PEOPLE.
JUST IN THE STATE SENATE.
HE THEN WENT ON TO OTHER
POSITIONS. FOR A TIME AS THE
CARE OF THE YOUTHFUL OFFENDER
PAROLE BOARD.
GOVERNOR DAVIS APPOINTED HIM.
TO THE SECRETARY.
OF THE END WAS CALLED THE YOUTH
AND ADULT CORRECTIONS AGENCY NOW
IT'S CALLED THE WHAT WOULD WE
CHANGE THE NAME HIGH GOODNESS IT
SEE -- NOT
YA QUE ANYMORE.
NOT THINK OF IT.
HE BECAME THE CHAIRMAN.
THE SECRETARY THE ENTIRE AGENCY
[inaudible]
UNDER DAVIS.
THEN WHY CAPACITY AT THE BOARD
OF PRISON TERMS.
AND BRIEFLY AT THE IS OFTEN A
PRO ABORT I GOT TO HELP AND WORK
WITH [inaudible]
BOB.
DEPARTMENT CORRECTIONS AND
REHABILITATION IS WHAT I'M
LOOKING FOR HERE.
AND BOB WAS A TOUGH ON CRIME GUY.
BUT HE ALSO [inaudible]
WAS.
VERY DEDICATED THE
REHABILITATION WITHIN THE
INSTITUTIONS.
SO THAT WHATEVER WE PUT OUT.
WHOEVER DID COME OUT UNDER ORDER
OF LAW UNDER THE TERMS SENSE LAW
OR BY APPROVAL.
ABOARD PRISON TERMS OF THE
ACTUAL OFFENDER PAROLE BOARD.
THAT THEY WERE REALLY READY.
THEY HIT THE STREETS.
BOB IS VERY DISCERNING IN THAT
REGARD.
IT DID A FINE JOB.
AND I CANNOT SAY THAT I EVER SAW
MUCH [inaudible]
PARTISANSHIP [inaudible]
BOB PRESLEY.
THEY ALWAYS RECEIVE OVERWHELMING
SUPPORT.
AND IS DISTRICT [inaudible]
FROM REPUBLICANS.
THOUGH HIS DISTRICT.
LOS LEAN REPUBLICAN AND HE WAS A
UNAPOLOGETIC DEMOCRAT.
I GATHER WHAT WE THEN CALLED A
ROOSEVELT DEMOCRAT.
LATER A REAGAN DEMOCRAT.
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT PREOCCUPIED
BUT PRESLEY.
IT WASN'T THE POLITICAL
PERSUASION.
THAT WASN'T HOW FAR LEFT TO
RIGHT [inaudible]
ANYBODY WAS.
IT WAS WHAT WAS GOOD FOR THE
DISTRICT THAT HE REPRESENTED I
BELIEVE WAS THE THIRTY FOURTH.
AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
MAN OF ABSOLUTE INTEGRITY.
KINDA THE CUSTODIAN OF THE
ETHICS OF THE INSTITUTION.
WAS BOB PRESLEY ANY ALWAYS
SERVED.
ON THOSE KEY COMMITTEES
[inaudible]
THE OVERSIGHT.
BOB HAD A VERY.
CLOSE KNIT STAFF [inaudible]
AND FAMILY [inaudible]
TODAY.
HIS SON BOB IS HERE WITH US.
THERE'S QUITE A RESEMBLANCE OF
HIS FATHER.
ALSO TRISH PRESLEY.
THAT'S BOB'S WIFE.
MARYLAND RAFAEL.
AND DONNA DANIELS THOSE ARE
BOB'S SISTER'S.
ADD UP HIS STAFF THAT I'VE
GOTTEN TO KNOW WELL OVER THE

BOB FRENZY IS BACK IN THE ROOM
HERE AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE
THEM COME UP SO WE CAN RECOGNIZE
IN WITH --
CENTER ROTH.
RICHARD MARX IN [inaudible]
SUSAN WALLACE.
AND KAREN FRENCH.
KAREN HAS BEEN A LONG TIME

THE FISCAL COMMITTEE.
AND SHE TOLD ME TODAY THAT SHE
JUST RETIRED.
MAYBE A APPROPRIATE TIME FOR HIM
TO RETIRE WHEN WE'RE RECOGNIZING
THEIR FORMER BOSS [inaudible]
BOB PRESLEY.
MANY PEOPLE HAVE SERVE HERE A
LITTLE OVER ELEVEN HUNDRED IN
THE HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA HAVE
SERVED IN THE STATE SENATE OF
ALL THE BILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO
HAVE LIVED IN THE STATE
[inaudible]
BOB PRESLEY.
WILL RATE IS ONE OF THE BEST.
EVEN AT THE TIME VARIOUS.
INSTITUTIONS THAT RATED
LEGISLATORS.
ALWAYS PUT BOB.

HE MANAGES BILLOWED ABLY.
DIDN'T KERRY STATEMENT BILLS.
THE BILL SHE CARRIED

THEY GOT MOST OF THEM PASSED.
THEY GOT ALONG VERY WELL WITH
REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS.
AS WELL AS DEMOCRATIC.
GOVERNORS.
IN THE AS I NOTED HE WAS EVEN
APPOINTED AGENCY SECRETARY.
THAT IS THE RESUL CORRECTIONS.
BY GOVERNOR DAVIS.
IF YOU EVER WANTED.
TO CRAFT WHAT I WOULD SAY THE
PERFECT.

BODY.
MEMBER OF IT.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN [inaudible]
AND WAS.
SENATOR BOB PRESS.
I ASKED LADIES AND GENTLEMAN

THOSE OF YOU WHO NOW SERVE.
KEEP IN MIND DOES TO PASS
THROUGH HERE BEFORE YOU.

WHY?
BECAUSE THERE WERE GOOD EXAMPLES
OF INDIVIDUALS WHOSE EXAMPLE

NOT AS IMPORTANT.
LET'S THINK ABOUT THE TIME WHEN
THERE WERE PEOPLE THE WORK

BUT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN IT
BY TALKING TO SENATOR BOB

I NEVER DID IN ALL THE YEARS.
THAT I KNEW IN.
HE WAS A MAN OF DISTINCT GRAYSON
HUMILITY A MAN OF COURAGE.
AND A MAN OF DECENCY.
YOU KNOW DURING HIS TIME IN THE
SENATE HE WORKED ACTUALLY WORKED
ACROSS THE AISLE. TO GET STUFF
DONE SORT OF A NOVEL CONCEPT
THESE DAYS.
OUR YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS BUT IN
NINETEEN EIGHTY TWO HE WAS ON
THE TICKET AS BOTH THE
DEMOCRATIC AND THE REPUBLICAN.
NOMINEE AND CANDIDATE FOR THE
CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE.
AND AFTER SEARCHING OUR STATE
ARCHIVES OUR CURRENT SECRETARY
OF STATE [inaudible]
HAS CONFIRMED.
BUT HE'S THE ONLY POLITICIAN.
IN MODERN HISTORY TO HAVE DONE
SO.
NEEDLESS TO SAY SENATOR BOB
PRESLEY WON THAT RACE.
IN ADDITION TO HIS WORK IN
PUBLIC SAFETY WHICH MY COLLEAGUE
IS HIGHLY HIGHLIGHTED.
IN SOME DETAIL.
YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT BOB
PRESLEY FOUGHT. FOR SURVIVORS OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND ABUSE
ESTABLISHING SHELTERS AND
RESOURCES.
AROUND THE STATE TO HELP WOMEN

TO ASSIST MILITARY MEMBERS WHO
WERE SUMMONED TO JURY SERVICE.
AND I ACTUALLY --
DRAFTED PART OF THAT BILL.
SO WHEN IT CAME TIME FOR THE
BILL TO MOVE THROUGH THE
CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE IN THE
SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
BOB PRESLEY INVITED OBVIOUSLY MY
BOSS BUT ALSO INVITED ME TO COME
TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE
TO TESTIFY IS THAT YOUNG
[inaudible]
CAPTAIN.
YOU KNOW I BEGGED OFF.
FRANKLY THE THOUGHT OF COMING TO
THE CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE.
INTIMIDATED ME.
FUNNY HOW THINGS WORK OUT.
OVER THE YEARS HE BECAME A
MENTOR TO ME WE SERVED ON
COMMUNITY BOARDS AND ADVOCACY
GROUPS TOGETHER.
AND HE WAS ONE OF FRANKLY TWO OR
THREE PEOPLE WHO CONVINCED ME TO
RUN FOR THE CALIFORNIA STATE
SENATE IN.
TWO THOUSAND TWELVE OF FOLLOWING
REDISTRICTING.
AND HE CONTINUED TO CHEER AS MY
COLLEAGUE FROM RIVERSIDE COUNTY
WOULD DO I MET HIM.
FOR LUNCH ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS
AFTER COMING UP HERE AND HE
CONTINUED TO CHEER ME ON AFTER
THAT TO ENCOURAGE ME TO TALK
ABOUT WORKING ACROSS THE AISLE
EVEN IN THIS POLITICAL
ENVIRONMENT.
AND HOW BENEFICIAL IT WAS BOTH
TO HIS CAREER AND TO THE
RESIDENTS OF RIVERSIDE COUNTY IN
THE RESIDENTS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
BUT PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY
