THANK YOU VERY MUCH. VERY
IMPRESSIVE. MISS LEE. YOU GOT
THROUGH BEFORE YOU HAVE TO
DEPART US TO JOIN THE ASSEMBLY
TO MAKE THE PRESENTATION TO
THEIR COMMITTEE. UM, BUT WHILE
YOU'RE STILL HERE, I'LL SEE IF
ANY OF MY MEMBERS HAVE SPECIFIC
QUESTIONS FOR YOU. YES, SENATOR
WIECKOWSKI. UM I HAVE. I'M ON A
B A B 205 THE ENERGY BUDGET AND
I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. I KNOW
IN, UM 178 FOR THIS CURRENT YEAR
AND 18. OH WE HAVE SOMEWHERE IN
THE RANGE OF $4.5 BILLION FOR
ENERGY, REAL RELIANCE AND WHAT
I'M LOOKING AT IS ON OUR
ANALYSIS AT THE END OF, UM PAGE
ONE AND THEN OR AND PAGE TWO.
I'M THINKING ABOUT, UM, ENERGY
THAT'S PRODUCED FROM BIOMASS.
AND MANY OF THOSE CONTRACTS THAT
PEOPLE HAVE OR ENTITIES HAVE OUR
THAT DOESN'T MAKE ECONOMIC SENSE
BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO THE COST OF
PRODUCING THE ENERGY IS SO HIGH
, AND IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE
LIST OF DUES OR OPTION OPT IN
PERMITTING THAT YOU HAVE SOLAR
AND WIND AND, UH NUCLEAR AND OLD
DIESEL AND A VARIETY OF
DIFFERENT ENERGY SOURCES. BUT
YOU DON'T CALL OUT UM BIOMASS
ELECTRICAL GENERATION AND I WAS
WONDERING, AM I MISREADING THAT
OR WHY IF YOU CAN ADD SOME
LIGHT, BUT WHY YOU WERE, YOU
WOULD EXCLUDE DEBT ENERGY
SOURCE. THANK YOU. FOR THE
QUESTION. SENATOR EARTH WILL
TURN THAT SPECIFIC QUESTION
OVER. ASSUME MY COLLEAGUE TERESA
CALVERT, WHO'S ON THE LINE. GOOD
MORNING, THERESA CALVERT WITH
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND
SENATOR. I DON'T HAVE THAT LEVEL
OF DETAIL WILL GO BACK AND
CONFIRM WHAT THE DEPARTMENT CAN
GET BACK TO YOUR TO YOUR OFFICE
ON WHETHER FIRST WEATHER BIOMASS
IS INCLUDED. AND THEN, UM, IF IT
ISN'T HOW IT DOESN'T FALL IN
THOSE CATEGORIES, BUT THAT'S NOT
A LEVEL OF DETAIL I HAVE ON HAND
TODAY. LIKEWISE THE FOLLOW UP IS
ON THE BIOFUELS. THEY DON'T SEE
ANY SIGHTING ON BIOFUELS. AND I
KNOW THIS IS A MEDIUM THAT THE
AUDUBON SOCIETY WILL PROBABLY
HUNT ME AFTER. BUT WE USED TO
TALK ABOUT KILLING TWO BIRDS
WITH ONE STONE, AND YOU HAVE
WOODY, MASS. THAT'S ON THE
FLOOR. AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS
ENERGY. UM SHORTAGE R P S P S
DISASTER THAT WE'RE TRYING TO
AVOID YET WE DON'T. WE'RE
ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO USE DIRTY
DIESEL, BUT WE'RE NOT CREATING
MORE BIOFUEL. THAT MAY BE A
SUBSTITUTE WHICH WILL CERTAINLY
POLLUTE BUT NOT AS MUCH AS
DIESEL. THAT TOO, IS NOT ON THE
LIST THAT YOU HAVE. FOR THE $4.5
BILLION, SO I I'M THINKING I'M
JUST WONDERING IF WE CAN HELP
OUT THE FOREST AND REMOVE SOME
WOODY MASS AND HAVE THESE
ELECTRIC GENERATIONS AT LEAST TO
MEET THIS CRISIS THAT THE
GOVERNOR'S LAID OUT. JUST HELP
ME UNDERSTAND THAT WHY THAT'S
NOT THERE. NO AND WELL, I'LL
LOOK INTO THAT. AND THE OTHER
THING I WOULD NOTE IS THAT THERE
WILL BE FURTHER ENERGY BUDGET
CONVERSATIONS AS THE SUMMER
PROGRESSES AS WELL. SO THAT
WOULD BE ONE. UM UM NO, I WOULD
ADD TO THAT. BUT WE WILL
ENDEAVOR TO GET YOUR OFFICE
INFORMATION ON THE BIOMASS AND
BIOFUELS IN THE MEANTIME. RIGHT.
OTHER QUESTIONS. UM BEFORE I GO
TO PUBLIC COMMENT. I WILL. I CUT
OFF MY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS
BUDGET BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE GAVE ADEQUATE TIME
FOR MISS LEE. BUT I JUST WANT TO
POINT OUT SOME OF THESE THINGS,
SHE POINTED OUT, AND AS SHE
DESCRIBED THE BILLS. BUT THE
HOUR THE RATES THAT E PROVIDE
FOR THOSE WHO CARE FOR
DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED WERE
CUT OVER 10 YEARS AGO DURING THE
RECESSION, AND WE HAVE NEVER
BROUGHT THEM BACK SINCE THAT
POINT, AND THIS BUDGET
ACCELERATES THAT AND DOES IT,
WHICH I'M VERY, VERY PROUD OF.
WE ALSO PROVIDE AND MISS LEE
POINTED THIS OUT. 1.3 BILLION TO
HELP US RETAIN OUR HEALTHCARE
WORKERS WHO WERE SO UM AND IN
FACT STRESSED DURING THE
PANDEMIC AND THROUGH WHOM WE'RE
SEEING, LEAVE THE WORKFORCE, BUT
WE NEED THEM SO IT'S PROVIDES
RETENTION STIPENDS AND
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS TO
ADDRESS A VARIETY OF WORKFORCE
SHORTAGES. INCLUDING IN
CONSTRUCTION, CHILDCARE AND
OTHER HEALTH CARE. AND THEN
THOSE OF US WHO HAVE FOLLOWED
WITH HORROR. THE RECENT DECISION
BY THE SUPREME COURT THIS BUDGET
INCLUDES FUNDING TO HELP ENSURE
THAT THOSE WHO NEED ABORTIONS
AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE
HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE SERVICES
AND THE TOTAL INVESTMENT IN A
VARIETY OF ITEMS IS 200 MILLION
FOR REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE AND
REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE. UM RK
THROUGH 12 SCHOOLS HAVE THE
HIGHEST FUNDING LEVEL EVER IN
THIS BUDGET WITH A 15% INCREASE
IN THIS COMING BUDGET YEAR. AND
THEREAFTER, SO ONGOING DOES NOT
JUST STOCKED. UM AND THEN
FURTHERING OUR COMMITMENT TO
CALIFORNIA'S COMMITMENT TO
HEALTH CARE FOR ALL THIS BUDGET
EXPANDS MEDCAL ALL ELIGIBLE
CALIFORNIANS, REGARDLESS OF
IMMIGRATION STATUS. BEGINNING NO
LATER THAN 2024. JANUARY, 1ST.
SO IT'S QUITE SIGNIFICANT WHAT
THIS BUDGET IS DOING FOR
CALIFORNIANS AND REFLECTING THE
VALUES THAT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT FOR A NUMBER FOR
YEARS. BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO
FULLY ACHIEVE EITHER DUE TO
FUNDING LEVELS OR OTHER ISSUES.
AND THIS BUDGET DOES A GREAT
DEAL OF THAT, SENATOR DURAZO.
THANK YOU, PAN. THANK YOU, MADAM
CHAIR. UM I JUST WANTED TO MAKE
A COMMENT ABOUT ON THE
TRANSPORTATION. I GUESS THAT'S A
B 1 98. JUST TO COMMENT. UM I'M
REALLY GLAD TO SEE THAT. UH THE
AMOUNT IS MORE THAN WHAT WAS
INITIALLY PROPOSED BY THE
ADMINISTRATION, AND WE'VE GOTTEN
IT UP TO ALMOST $11 BILLION OVER
FOUR YEARS. SOME REALLY PROUD OF
THAT AND HOW EVERYBODY PUSHED
FOR THAT WE REALLY NEED 20
BILLION, UM, AND SOME HOPING
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.
UM. WE DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO
ADD TO THAT, BECAUSE, UH, IN OUR
COMMITTEE WE HAD, UM TESTIMONY
AND, OF COURSE REQUEST FOR TRANS
TRANS TRANSPORTATION. FROM
ACROSS THE STATE, WHETHER IT'S
RIVERSIDE, OR DOES IT MATTER? L
A IN THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
IT'S ALL OVER, AND IT'S REALLY
REALLY, UH, BIG, BIG NEED. THAT
WE HAVE TO MOVE PEOPLE TO MOVE
FREIGHT, UH, TO MOVE OUR
PRODUCTS, BUT, UM, WE REALLY
SHOULD HAVE WORK TOWARDS
DOUBLING THAT AMOUNT, BUT, UH I
JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT AS, UM
MORE THAN WHAT WAS IN THE
INITIAL, UM PROPOSED BUDGET.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND BEFORE
ICON DR PAN. I DIDN'T MENTION
THIS. BUT THE TOTAL AMOUNT IN IN
THE BUDGET FOR THIS BUDGET YEAR
IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF FISCAL
YEARS IS 47 BILLION FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE. OF WHICH THE
TRANSPORTATION PACKAGES PART OF
IT, BUT ALSO THERE'S HOUSING
PACKAGE. UM FUNDING FOR OUR
HIGHER ED FACILITIES, FUNDING
FOR K THROUGH 12 SCHOOLS AND, OF
COURSE, ALSO OUR STUDENT HOUSING
FUNDING. THAT'S WITHIN THAT 47
BILLION FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND
SENATOR DROWSY HAD ONE OTHER
COMMENT BEFORE I CALL ON DR PAN.
GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY. JUST WANTED
TO MENTION ALSO THAT WE ARE
WORKING TOWARDS HAVING JOB
STANDARDS. UM AS PART OF THAT
FUNDING, BECAUSE AT THE SAME
TIME THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE
ADDRESSING OUR CLIMATE NEEDS
THROUGH TRANSPORTATION. WE ALSO
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
ECONOMICALLY ARE WORKING MEN AND
WOMEN IN THE STATE HAVE ACCESS
TO JOBS, WHICH TAXPAYERS ARE
FUNDING. BUT THOSE JOBS BE GOOD
PAYING GOOD MIDDLE CLASS JOBS.
THANK YOU. I JUST INTERRUPT AND
MAKE A COMMENT AND YES, GO
AHEAD. GO AHEAD, SENATOR, AS I
JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT
THERE IS CLOSE TO $15 MILLION IN
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING IN THIS
BUDGET, SO, UM, INCLUDING THE
PORTS, INFRASTRUCTURE AND HIGH
SPEED RAIL, SO I JUST WANTED TO
POINT OUT. IT'S A MUCH HIGHER
NUMBER THAT YOU STATED EARLIER.
15 BILLION, YES. OKAY UH,
SENATOR PAN AND THEN SENATOR
STERN AND THEN I WILL PROBABLY
GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT, BUT GO
AHEAD, SENATOR PAM. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR AND I
DON'T WANT ANYONE TO MISTAKE OUR
LACK OF QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT
IN TIME AS A LACK OF, UM
INTEREST, OR, UM, UH, OR
ACTUALLY ARE STRONG SUPPORT. AT
LEAST I CAN SPEAK FOR MYSELF FOR
THIS BUDGET. DOES IT HAVE
EVERYTHING I WANT? NO IS IT THE
SAME AS THE LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE
WE PASSED EARLIER, NÓ. BUT IT
HAS. THAT REALLY HAS SO MANY OF
OUR PRIORITIES AND I AND AGAIN I
KNOW MADAM BUDGET CHAIR. YOU AND
I WERE IN THE LEGISLATURE. UH 12
YEARS AGO. SO THIS IS GOING TO
BE MY LAST STATE BUDGET. I
PRESUME THAT I'M GOING TO BE
VOTING ON GIVEN TERM LIMITS. I
GUESS I COULD COME BACK AND VOTE
ON JUST A COUPLE MORE BUT NO
INTENTION TO DO SO AT THE MOMENT
, BUT WHEN WE THINK ABOUT WHERE
WE CAME FROM, AND I KNOW YOU
POINTED IT OUT MADAME BUDGET
CHAIR ABOUT MANY OF THE CUTS NOT
ONLY CUTS THAT WE'VE UNDONE BUT
ALSO HOW WE MOVE THINGS FORWARD.
AND THERE'S SO MANY. I DON'T
WANT TO SPEND MY TIME HERE, JUST
REITERATING ALL OF THEM. BUT I
JUST EVEN LOOKING AT, FOR
EXAMPLE, AS SOMEONE WHO FORMERLY
CHAIRED THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND,
OF COURSE, REALLY THANKFUL TO
THE LEADERSHIP OF MY GOOD FRIEND
FROM STOCKTON'S WHO IS ABLE TO
CONTINUE TO MOVE THAT
SUBCOMMITTEE FORWARD WITH THIS
BUDGET. UM I THINK ABOUT ALL THE
THINGS WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON
OVER SO MANY YEARS IN THE HEALTH
SPACE AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH
SPACE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF
HUMAN SERVICES, SPACE,
DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES. WELL
CALL WORKED. THESE GOALS THAT
WE'VE THAT WE'VE PUT FORTH THAT
WE'RE THAT WE ARE FINALLY
ACHIEVING LIKE TRYING THAT ONE
COULD ARGUE WITH GETTING
FAMILIES OUT OF DEEP POVERTY,
RIGHT, GETTING HEALTH INSURANCE
FOR ALL UM, EXPANDING, MAKE
COVERED CALIFORNIA MORE
AFFORDABLE, ACTUALLY STRENGTHEN
OUR PUBLIC HEALTH
INFRASTRUCTURE, ESPECIALLY AFTER
A PANDEMIC. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
A NEW OFFICE OF HEALTH CARE,
AFFORDABILITY ADDRESS.
HEALTHCARE COSTS, RIGHT. WE'RE
GOING TO TRY TO ADDRESS THE
PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS THROUGH
A GENERIC DRUG MANUFACTURING. I
MEAN, HE'S GOING ON AND ON AND
ON. THAT'S ALL IN HERE, WHICH,
BY THE WAY, WE THOROUGHLY
DISCUSSED AND DEBATED IN OUR
VARIOUS SUBCOMMITTEES. SO
CERTAINLY WHILE YOU KNOW,
GETTING THIS PACKET, UM, PLOT OF
FAMILIAR STUFF HERE BECAUSE
WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT ALL OF
THIS AND SO IT WAS SO IMPORTANT,
AND I THINK I JUST WANTED TO
MENTION THAT, AS WE'RE GOING TO
PUBLIC COMMENT WILL BE VOTING ON
THIS. THIS BILL THAT THIS IS, OF
COURSE. WELL YES. THE THIS IS A%
FAMILIAR DOCUMENT TO AT LEAST
THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN PAYING
ATTENTION TO THE BUDGET PROCESS
AND REALLY APPRECIATE THE HARD
WORK. YEAH I MEAN, AND WE
APPRECIATE THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE
AND NEGOTIATIONS. THERE'S SOME
THINGS I THINK WE WOULD HAVE
PREFERRED. BUT UM, THIS IS A
GOOD PLACE TO GO AND AGAIN
REALLY APPRECIATIVE. OF THIS
OPPORTUNITY. TO JUST REMIND
PEOPLE HOW FAR WE'VE COME. AND
AT LEAST THE PAST 12 YEARS THAT
I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN IN THE
LEGISLATURE AND THE BUDGET
PROCESS AND VERY GRATEFUL, SO
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DOCTOR PAN
FOR REFERENCING THAT BECAUSE
IT'S TRUE. WE'RE GOING THROUGH
THINGS RELATIVELY QUICKLY. BUT
FOR THOSE OF US, AND MOST PEOPLE
HERE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE
BUDGET PROCESS FOR A NUMBER OF
YEARS, BUT THOSE OF US WHO
SERVED DURING THE RECESSION KNOW
THAT THIS BUDGET THERE ARE SO
MANY THINGS IN HERE THAT WE
NEVER WANTED TO SEE CUT BACK
THEN, BUT THAT WE'RE NOW FINALLY
, AT THE PLACE OF RESTORING. I
MEAN, THEY HAVE BEEN A LITTLE
BIT OVER THE YEARS BUT REALLY
FULLY IN THIS BUDGET. AND SO
MANY THINGS. WE HAVE TALKED
ABOUT ASPIRATIONAL THINGS WITH
ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE HEALTH
CARE SPACE THAT WILL TRULY MAKE
A DIFFERENCE FOR CALIFORNIANS.

THAT. YOU POINTED IT OUT. IT'S
REALLY THE PRODUCT OF AN
ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF WORK OVER
YEARS. UM AND NOW SENATOR STERN.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I'LL BE
BRIEF. UM FIRST, I JUST WANT TO
THANK THE ADMINISTRATION AND OUR
SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIR FOR, UM THEIR
WORK ON A B 1 86 ON THE SKILLED
NURSING FACILITY. FINANCING
REFORM. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO
GET HOPEFULLY SOME IMPROVED NOT
JUST WORKFORCE STANDARDS, BUT
BETTER QUALITY. UM IN EXCHANGE
FOR MEDICAL REIMBURSEMENT. I
THINK THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE
SENATE HAS BEEN BRAVE ON THAT
ISSUE AND IN DEMANDING QUALITY
BECAUSE WE KNOW TOO MANY PEOPLE
ON THE FRONT LINES OF CAREGIVING
OR SUFFERING IN SILENCE, SO I'M
EXCITED TO SEE SOME SOME
IMPORTANT REFORMS THERE. I HAD
ONE BRIEF QUESTION, UM FROM HIS
LEE, OR WHOEVER WANTS TO ANSWER

LIKE IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS TO

ESTABLISHING SOME KIND OF
LOADING ORDER AND AN EYE ON
CLEANEST AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES

RELIABILITY RESERVE. IS IT THE
ADMINISTRATION'S INTENTION? TO
PRIORITIZE, UM CLEAN ENERGY

WE KNOW WE SAW A LOT OF THOSE
THOSE THOSE FACILITIES WHETHER
THEY'RE LARGE OFF ONCE THROUGH
COOLING GAS PLANTS OR OR OTHER
GAS FACILITIES ACTUALLY FAIL IN
EXTREME HEAT CONDITIONS OR OTHER
SORT OF ENERGY CRUNCHES. AND
WE'VE SEEN, YOU KNOW, EFFICIENCY
DEMAND RESPONSE AND CLEAN ENERGY
ACTUALLY PERFORM BETTER, BUT
JUST WANT TO GET A SENSE FROM
THE ADMINISTRATION. IS IT? IS IT
THE ADMINISTRATION'S INTENTION
TO SORT OF TRY TO PUT EFFICIENCY
DEMAND RESPONSE AND CLEAN ENERGY

LIST AND THEN AS A LAST RESORT,
OR IF IT IF YOU KNOW TOTALLY
NECESSARY. DEFAULT TO SOME OF
THOSE CONVENTIONAL FIELDS. THANK

HOMEOWNERSHIP IN THIS BUDGET
WITH 350 MILLION IN FUNDING FOR
KALA HOME AND FIVE MILLION FOR

ADDITIONALLY ON BEHALF OF THE
BAY AREA REGIONAL HEALTH
INEQUITIES INITIATIVE, WE HOPE

REMARKABLE BUDGET. WE'RE
GRATEFUL FOR THE INCLUSION OF
THE UNION OF AMERICAN PHYSICIANS
AND DENNIS REQUESTS OF $16
MILLION TO SUPPORT THE RETENTION
AND RECRUITMENT OF DOCTORS,
PHYSICIANS AND PSYCHIATRISTS.
LISTED UNDER A B 1 29 AND 81 96.
WE BELIEVE THIS IS AN IMPORTANT

EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR THIS

FOR OUR LOW INCOME CLIENTS AND
WE PROBABLY DON'T HAVE TIME TO

21% INCREASE IN THE COW WORKS.
CRAMP INCREASE FOR SSE

YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS OR AS GONZALEZ
ON BEHALF OF CONTROLLED. THEY'RE
MORE RESOURCES. WE ARE A
GEOTHERMAL AND LITERALLY LITHIUM
RECOVERY PLATFORM AND IMPERIAL
COUNTY IN THE HEART OF THE
LITHIUM VALLEY. WE ARE CONCERNED
THAT THE PROPOSED FLAT TAX
INCLUDED IN THE LITHIUM TRAILER
BILL WILL HAVE THE EFFECT OF
MAKING LITHIUM SOURCE FROM
CALIFORNIA UNCOMPETITIVE IN WHAT
IS A GLOBAL MARKET. IN EFFECT,
PROVIDING A COST ADVANTAGE TO
LITHIUM THAT IS IMPORTED IN THE
STATEMENT. PLACES LIKE CHINA,
WHICH ALREADY ACCOUNTS FOR ABOUT
80% OF THE IMPORTS THAT COME
INTO THE UNITED STATES OF
LITHIUM ION BATTERIES. THE
RESULTING CONSEQUENCES THAT NOT
ONLY WILL THIS PRDUCT NOT BE
ABLE TO COMPETE IN GLOBAL
MARKETS, BUT IT WILL ALSO SIGNAL
TO THE DEBT MARKETS THAT
FINANCING PROJECTS IN CALIFORNIA
HAVE A HIGHER RISK OF DEFAULT
BECAUSE THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO
COMPETE. SO THE RESULTING
INCREASED COST OF FINANCING WILL
MAKE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT MUCH
MORE DIFFICULT. SO WE URGE YOU
TO PLEASE NOT RUSH THIS ITEM AND
HOPEFULLY LEAVE IT OFF FOR THE
AUGUST WHEN WE HAVE HAD A BETTER
OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE THE
ADMINISTRATION JUST VERY QUICKLY
ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF PEOPLE.
RIVERA WE THANK YOU FOR THE
INVESTMENT IN THE CITY'S PARTS,
THE CITY IS SET TO LOSE ABOUT
57% OF ITS EXISTING OPEN PARK
SPACE BECAUSE OF THE UPDATES TO
THE WOODIER NARROWS DAM. SO
THANK YOU FOR THOSE INVESTMENTS.
THEY WILL PROVE TRANSFORMATIVE.
THANK THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING,
KIM LEWIS, REPRESENTING A COUPLE
DIFFERENT CLIENTS ON BEHALF OF
CHILDREN NOW WANTING TO SAY WE
APPRECIATE THE INVESTMENTS IN
EMERGENCY CHILDCARE BRIDGE AND
HOPE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE THE
CONVERSATIONS AROUND INCREASING
RATES FOR CHILD CARE PROVIDERS
AS THEY NAVIGATE THE MIXED
DELIVERY SYSTEM. ON BEHALF OF A
SPARE NET, WHICH OPERATES THEM
SHORT TERM RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT
PROGRAM. WE WERE DISAPPOINTED TO
SEE THEIR ELIMINATION OF THE
COVID RELIEF DOLLARS BECAUSE
THEY HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO
PROVIDE CARE FOR OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE. 24 7. AND THEIR BUDGETS
WERE DECIMATED AND ONLY GOT 32%
OF THEIR REQUESTED ORIGINAL
FUNDS SO HOPING WE CAN HAVE
ADDITIONAL CONVERSATIONS, AND
THERE'S SO MUCH IN HERE THAT WE
REALLY LOVE. I DON'T WANT TO,
JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, DISAGREE
WITH ANY OF THAT, AND ESPECIALLY
SUPPORTING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
AROUND APPRENTICESHIPS AND OTHER
THINGS, TOO. SO THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. GOOD MORNING. KYLE JONES,

EVERYONE FOR THE WORK BEING DONE
TO GET SOME AGREEMENT ON HOW TO
WORK WITH FIFA'S AND PROVIDE
GUIDANCE TO THE STATE WATER
BOARD TO DEVELOP A METHOD TO GET
COMMUNITY WATER SYSTEMS TESTED
AND GET TREATMENT OUT THE DOOR.
AND THEN FINALLY, WE JUST WANTED
TO HOPE TO HAVE CONTINUING
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT A PERMANENT
LOW INCOME WATER RATE ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM LIKE THAT ENVISIONED IN
SP 222. WE BELIEVE THAT 330
MILLION COULD PROVIDE IT TO YOUR
FUNDING SOURCE TO HELP CLOSE
THIS GAP IN THE SOCIAL SAFETY
NET. EXACTLY WHEN FAMILIES NEED
IT THE MOST WITH INCREASING
WATER BILLS AND POTENTIALLY
RECESSION DOWN THE LINE. SO WE
LOOK FORWARD TO THIS INCLUSION
IN THE BUDGET IN AUGUST. THANK

MILLION BUDGET ALLOCATIONS THAT
OUR ORGANIZATION HAS FOR THE
COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS AND OUR
YOUTH AMBASSADORS PROGRAMS THAT
IS CHAMPIONED BY SENATOR
FURTADO. FINAL BUDGET. WE ASK
THAT THIS BUDGET ALLOCATION,
WHICH WAS INITIALLY INCLUDED IN
THE TWO PARTY AGREEMENT UNDER SP
1 54, GETS INCLUDED IN THE THREE
PARTY AGREEMENT AT AS IT IS
CURRENTLY NOT. INCLUDED ON A B
OR SP, ONCE OF VÀ. WE URGE THE
ADMINISTRATION TO INCLUDE THIS
$10 MILLION BUDGET ALLOCATION.
AND ARE HAPPY TO BE WITH THEM.

FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH
WORKERS IS CRUCIAL FOR BETTER
HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR THE
COMMUNITY. WE THINK THIS

THANK YOU. YOU ARE OPEN LINE,
93. AH HI, I'M ERIC ROHMER'S CEO
OF ENERGY SOURCE. MINERALS.
THANK YOU FOR THE TIME. WE ARE
THE DEVELOPER OF WE'RE ABOUT TO
START CONSTRUCTION OR WE WERE
ABOUT TO START CONSTRUCTION ON A
LITHIUM PROJECT IN THE SALTON
SEA. WHAT WERE IN FAVOR? OF
ATTACKS ON LITHIUM TO BENEFIT
IMPERIAL COUNTY AND SALTY
RESTORATION WERE OPPOSED TO THE
$800 PER 10 FLAT TAX. THE TEXT
MAKES AN ALREADY EXPENSIVE
RESOURCE UNCOMPETITIVE COMPARED
TO OTHER RESOURCES AND WITHOUT
LITHIUM, THERE WILL BE NO
ADDITIONAL GEOTHERMAL POWER
DEVELOP. WE'RE SUPPORTIVE OF,
HOWEVER, WERE SUPPORTIVE OF A
PERCENTAGE TAX. AND THAT THE
LANGUAGE INCLUDED STUDYING THAT
TAX. WE THINK THAT THESE
PROJECTS WILL BE OFF FOR ANOTHER
2.5 YEARS THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE
THE TIME AND STUDY IT. BEFORE
THEY IMPLEMENT A FATAL TAX FOR
THE INDUSTRY AND SEE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MODERATOR. THESE WILL
BE OUR LAST TWO COMMENTS ON THE
PHONE LINE LAST TWO. OKAY I'M
SHOWING JUST ONE LEFT. SO
PERFECT. OKAY, GREAT. YOU ARE
OPEN. LIKE 90. WOULD YOU LIKE TO
TESTIFY, PLEASE? A MUTE. ONE
MORE SHOT LINE. 90, PLEASE GO
AHEAD. AND THEY AREN'T
RESPONDING. SO WE HAVE EXHAUSTED
THE QUÊ. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
MODERATORS. SO WE ALL NOW GO
BACK TO COMMITTEE AND, UH,
BEFORE I START TAKING MOTIONS,
LET ME SEE IF THERE'S ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, SENATOR
DOLLY! THANK YOU. MADAM
PRESIDENT MEMBERS JUST WANTED. I
JUST HAVE A QUESTION ON UH,
BUDGET BILL JR. THERE'S A AND
SECTION 19.54. UH THERE'S $1.4
BILLION RIGHT? THAT'S GOING TO
HOW MANY ARE THE GENERAL FAN?
AND OF THAT 1.8 253 MILLION IS
GOING TO THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY
COMMISSION RELIEF FUND IS
APPROPRIATE FOR VARIOUS CLIMATE
ACTIVITIES WITH ALLOCATIONS AND
DETAILS TO BE DETERMINED IN
FUTURE LEGISLATION. THIS
INCLUDES 534 MILLION FROM THE
GENERAL FRANCE 253 MILLION FROM
THE CALIFORNIA ENGINE ENERGY
COMMISSIONER INVESTMENT FUND,
BUT THERE'S ONLY $30 MILLION.
FROM THE GENERAL FUND INVESTED
THAT SUPPORTS WILDFIRE AND
FOREST RESILIENCE. MIND YOU
THERE'S 619 MILLION FROM THE
GENERAL FUND FOR INVESTMENTS
THAT SUPPORT THE TRANSITION TO
ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES AND
ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE, SO I
JUST WANT TO LET THE COMMITTEE
KNOW THAT ALL FOUR GETTING TO
ELECTRIFICATION. NO PROBLEM
THERE, BUT WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING
MORE ON THE BIGGEST EMITTER OF
CARBON, WHICH IS WHICH IS FOREST
FIRE, AND I THINK IT'S UH UPON
US TO ALLOCATE MORE FUNDS
UPFRONT TO DOING FIRE RESILIENCY
VERSUS GIVING SO MUCH MONEY TO
PUT PEOPLE IN ELECTRIC CARS,
MAYBE A FEW YEARS FROM NOW,
AFTER WE GET OUR FOREST IN
SHAPE. I JUST WANTED THE
COMMITTEE TO REALIZE THAT WE'RE
SPENDING ALMOST THREE QUARTERS
OF A BILLION DOLLARS ON UM, TAX
CREDITS OR GRANTS FOR ELECTRICAL
VEHICLES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
VERSUS $30. MILLION FOR FIRE.
RESILIENCE THANK YOU, MADAM
CHAIR, DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE.
DID YOU WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT,
MR ALMY? YES THANK YOU VERY MUCH
, UM, JUST FOR A BROADER CONTEXT
IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL BUDGET
PACKAGE. THERE'S UH, A TOTAL OF
$770 MILLION FOR CAL FIRE
SPECIFIC. ACTIVITIES RELATED TO
ENHANCING OUR FIRE PROTECTION
RESOURCES AND THEN THE AMOUNT
THAT SENATOR DOLLY REFERENCED
WAS A SPECIFIC LINE ITEM IN THE
CURRENT YEAR. AH BUDGET BILL,
BUT THERE'S ALSO ADDITIONAL
FUNDING OF ABOUT 1.2 BILLION
OVER MULTIPLE YEARS FOR VARIOUS
, UH, WILDFIRE PREVENTION
ACTIVITIES, SOME OF WHICH IS
GOING TO BE DISCUSSED LATER IN
THE SUMMER IS PART OF THE
WILDFIRE PACKAGE. I'D LIKE TO
TURN OVER TO MR AGUILAR TO KIND
OF GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL
IN TERMS OF WHAT'S IN THE
WELFARE PACKAGE IN THE BUDGET IN
THE BUDGET YEAR, VERSUS WHAT'S
KIND OF DEFERRED TO THE SUMMER.
HE HAS A THIRD DRIVE OVER
DEPARTMENT FINANCE, SO THERE
WERE CERTAIN PIECES OF THE
CLIMATE BUDGET THAT WERE
DEFERRED TO SUMMER ALLOCATION
FOR OTHER COMPONENTS EXACTLY GOT
INCLUDED IN THE JUNE 30TH
BUDGET, WHICH ARE WITHIN THE
SPECIFIC LINE ITEMS OF CAL FIRE
OF THE CONSERVANCIES OF PART OF
FISH, WILDLIFE PARK, AND SO IN
TOTAL, THAT IS ABOUT 470 MILLION
THAT IS PROGRAMMED TO 22 23. AND
THEN THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL ABOUT
530 MILLION THAT IS GOING TO BE
ALLOCATED OVER THE SUMMER AND 30
MILLION, I THINK IS WHAT YOU'RE
SEEING IN THE IN THE BUDGET BILL
JR. SEVEN FOR THE CURRENT YEAR,
BUT THEN, IN THE BUDGET YEARS,
THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL SET ASIDE
, BUT A LOT OF IT WAS ALREADY
ACTING PROGRAM WITHIN THE ACTUAL
LINE ITEM. OF CAL FIRE OF THE
CONSERVANCIES AND THE OTHER
DEPARTMENTS AND THOSE THAT JUST
KIND OF NOTES THE PIECE THAT WE
WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE
ALLOCATIONS NOW OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF MONTHS AS WE WILL BE
DOING COMING BACK IN THE FUTURE
OF BUDGET BUILDING YEAR TO
DETAIL HOW THAT WILL BE SPENT.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THANK
YOU JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP. I
DID PUT THE 5 34 AND THE 2 53
TOGETHER. THAT IS THE EMERGENCY
RELIEF ON INVESTMENTS THAT
SUPPORT DROUGHT AND WATER
RESILIENCE. BUT I COULDN'T FIND
, UH, THE DETAILS AND I'VE BEEN
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH
THE RESOURCES WE'RE GOING TO GO
TO BUYING, UH, WATER RIGHTS, AND
I DIDN'T WE JUST GOT THIS
PACKAGE LAST NIGHT. SO THERE'S A
LOTOF DETAILS. SO COULD YOU
GIVE ME SOME DETAIL ON WHAT
AMOUNT? OF THAT $700 MILLION
WILL BE ALLOCATED TOWARDS
PURCHASING SENIOR WATER RIGHTS.
APARTMENT OF FINANCE. YES WE'LL
GET SURGERY DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. SO IN THERE IS ABOUT
1.2 BILLION THAT WAS INCLUDED IN
THE JUNE 30 BUDGET FOR DROUGHT
AND THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT
ALSO BEING SET ASIDE FOR SUMMER
DISCUSSIONS. TO BE ALLOCATED
LATER. OUT OF THE 1.2. THERE
ISN'T ANYTHING SPECIFIC FOR
PURCHASING OF WATER RIGHT?
THERE'S PIECES RELATED TO
ENFORCEMENT OF WATER RIGHTS WITH
THE WATER BOARD. BUT THE VERY
PROGRAMS THAT WERE INCLUDED AS
PART OF THAT 1.2 BILLION, UM,
FUNDING FOR SMALL AND URBAN
COMMUNITY BELIEVE PROGRAMS
EMERGENCY DRINKING WATER FUNDING
FOR THE PAPER, WATER, WATER
CONSERVATION CAMPAIGN AND ALL
THE OTHER WATER CONSERVATION
PROGRAMS. AND THEN ALSO
DIFFERENT FUNDING FOR FARMER AND
AGRICULTURAL RELIEF PROGRAMS.
BUT THERE'S UH YOU KNOW, WE HAVE
RIGHT. ADDITIONAL DETAILS. ALL
THAT $1.2 BILLION BREAKS OUT.
BUT THERE ISN'T A SPECIFIC
APPOINTMENT WITHIN THAT THAT IS
SPECIFIC TO PURCHASING WATER,
RIGHT? SO THERE WAS NO. NOTHING
ALLOCATED FOR PURCHASING WATER
RIGHTS. IS THAT WHAT I HEARD YOU
SAY? OUT OF THE 1.2 BILLION THAT
WAS INCLUDED IN THE JUNE 13TH
BUDGET. NO, BUT THERE'S AN
ADDITIONAL AMOUNT THAT IS SET
ASIDE TO BE ALLOCATED OVER THE
SUMMER AS FAR DISCUSSIONS WITH
THE LEGISLATURE. CANCELED ANDO
THOSE GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHER PROGRAMS
TO BE INCLUDED WITHIN THAT. AND
OUT OF THAT 1.2 BILLION. WHAT
SET ASIDE WHAT AMOUNT? BE SET
ASIDE AMOUNT IS 1.4. BILLION SO
IN TOTAL, THERE WILL BE ABOUT
2.7 BILLION. IN ADDITIONAL
DROUGHT RESPONSE AND RELIEF, AND
THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE 5.2
BILLION FROM LAST YEAR. OKAY.
THANK YOU. SENATOR NIELSEN AND
THEN SENATOR JOE BORG. MADAM
PRESIDENT AND COLLEAGUES. THIS
IS PROBABLY THE WORST BUDGET FOR
SENATOR NIELSEN. OKAY, GO AHEAD,
SENATOR NIELSEN. THIS IS THE
WORST BUDGET I'VE SEEN IN ALL MY
YEARS HERE. WHY BECAUSE IT'S THE
MOST CLANDESTINE DONE BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS. BUDGET I'VE EVER
SEEN. SO WE'RE HAVING A LITTLE
BIT OF PUBLIC COMMENT HERE. WOW,
THAT'S REALLY GREAT. BUT WHERE
IS THE INFORMATION? OUR STAFF.
GOT INFORMATION. JUST LATE
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. WE WERE
BRIEFING INTO THE EVENING LAST
NIGHT. NOW THAT'S NOT UNUSUAL.
THAT'S TYPICAL. BUT THIS WAS
EVEN WORSE. WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID
OF? WHY CAN'T YOU SHARE THE
INFORMATION ON THE BUDGET? SO
THE PEOPLE THROUGH THEIR
REPRESENTATIVES. KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON. I DON'T UNDERSTAND
THAT. NOW THEY'RE JUST A COUPLE
OF ISSUES. I WANT TO BRING THE
BODY'S ATTENTION RIGHT NOW. THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH
FACILITIES. DID NOT GET
CONSULTED, ACCORDING TO THEIR
LATER ON MATTERS THAT RELATE TO
THEM LABOR DID OH, BOY. LABOR
DID. BUT THE HEALTH FACILITIES
NÓ. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY. I WAS
THE GOVERNOR NOT EVEN WANT TO BE
INTERESTED IN HAVING THEIR
INPUT. THERE'S A LITTLE GAME
GOING ON HERE THAT WE DON'T KNOW
ABOUT. IN A QUESTION TO FINANCE
IF I MAY, MADAM CHAIR 250
GENERAL FUND PAYMENT TOWARDS
UNEMPLOYMENT LOANS SECURED TO
PLAY BENEFITS. AS I REMEMBER.
THE GOVERNOR PUT A BILLION
DOLLARS IN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE
REST OF THAT MONEY BE CUT TO 250
BILLION MILLION. THAT'S ALMOST
INSULTING TO SAY THAT WE'RE
DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THAT E D D
MESS. AND WE'RE GOING TO GET 250
MILLION. CAN SOMEONE IN FOR
TESTS TELL ME WHY THE GOVERNOR
MADE THAT DECISION. DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE. THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION, SENATOR. I'M GONNA
TURN THIS QUESTION OVER TO
ANDREW MARCH, OUR EXPERT ON
EDDIE D. THANK YOU, SENATOR
NIELSEN SO OVERALL, THE THREE
PARTY AGREEMENT INCLUDES 750
MILLION FOR THE U I D BITE OUT
SO 250 MILLION IN BUDGET YEAR
AND 500 MILLION IN BUDGET YEAR
PLUS ONE. ADDITIONALLY IN BUDGET
YOUR PLUS TWO UM THERE'S $500
MILLION TO PROVIDE RELIEF TO
SMALL BUSINESSES FOR ANTICIPATED
FEDERAL UI TAX INCREASES. IS ANY
OF THAT SUBJECT TO AT THE TIME
THE DETERMINATION OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
DETERMINING THAT THAT JUST QUOTE
NEEDED UH, NO. SO IT'S NOT BUILT
INTO THE TRIGGER. UM THIS IS
THIS IS FUNDING THAT SORT OF
IT'S BUILT INTO THE MULTI YEAR
SORT OF BUDGET AGREEMENT THAT
WE'VE WORKED OUT. WELL WITH THIS
SIGNORE MUS SURPLUS. WHY WOULD
YOU GO SPENDING MONEY ON NEW
PROGRAMS? NEW OBLIGATIONS OF THE
BUDGET? AND NOT MORE
SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED SYSTEM. IS
THERE A REASON THAT FINANCE AND
THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE
DOESN'T LEAD? LEGISLATURE DOES
NOT WANT TO ATTEND TO THAT AND
JUST LET THAT FESTER AND
CONTINUE ON? WE MAY BE HEADING
TOWARD A RECESSION. WHAT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN THEN? IT'S UM MET ON
ME WITH DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE.
SO THIS THREE PARTY AGREEMENT
INCLUDES A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF
PROGRAMS THAT, UH, THE STATES.
NEEDS AND PROVIDE RELIEF TO
WORKING CALIFORNIANS, BUT ALSO
GETTING TO YOUR POINT PROVIDES
SIGNIFICANT BUDGET RESILIENCE,
GIVEN THE UNCERTAIN ECONOMIC
UNCERTAINTY THAT YOU'RE
REFERRING TO, AND THAT INCLUDES
37 BILLION OF BUDGETARY
RESERVES. SO WHEN YOU KIND OF
LOOK AT THE BUDGET FRAMEWORK,
HOLISTICALLY, UH, THE BUDGET
RESERVES THAT WE'RE BUILDING AS
WELL AS REDUCING DEBT AND
LIABILITIES. UH WE BELIEVE THIS
IS A, UM, A FRAMEWORK THREE
PARTY AGREEMENT THAT BUILDS
RESILIENCY. TO ADDRESS THOSE
UNCERTAINTIES THAT YOU'RE LIVING
TOO. WELL I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR YOUR CANDOR YOU MENTIONED
VERY ESSENTIAL 0.3 PARTY
AGREEMENT. NOW AS I RECALL, OUR
GOVERNMENT IS COMPRISED LONG HAS
BEEN WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS OF
SOME INDEPENDENCE. OF THREE
PARTIES. DEMOCRAT REPUBLICAN IN
THE GOVERNOR. SO NOW WE HAVE
COMPLETELY AND THAT'S WHAT I'M
SAYING IS HAPPENED THIS YEAR.
IT'S JUST ABOUT COMPLETE. YOU
CUT OUT THE REPUBLICANS. SO A
FEW YEARS AGO, IT WAS BAD
BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE A
TWO THIRDS VOTE FOR THE BUDGET.
SO WE MADE IT A 50% VOTE. WOW.
SO WHAT DID YOU DO? THAT HAS
BEEN THE EXCUSE BY THE
ADMINISTRATION'S AND THE
LEGISLATORS. THE MAJORITY TO
EXCLUDE. NOT JUST THE REPUBLICAN
MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE. BUT
THE CONSTITUENTS THAT THEY
REPRESENT. IS THAT WHAT OUR
GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME? LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN, WHO I'M SPEAKING
TO OUT IN THE WORLD WHO MAY BE
WATCHING THIS THIS IS WHAT YOUR
GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME. SENATOR
OKO BOG. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
SO I'M GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE
BIT OF A DIFFERENT ANGLE. UM AS
SOMEONE WHO ILL BE SPEAKING NOT
JUST AS A REPRESENTATIVE FOR
DISTRICT 23, BUT ALSO AS THE
VICE CHAIR OF THE INLAND EMPIRE
CAUCUS. UM I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN
BY STATING THAT I'M VERY
GRATEFUL TO THE LEADERSHIP FOR
THE ALLOCATION OF THE MANY ITEMS
THAT ARE ADDRESSED IN THE BUDGET
THAT BENEFIT THAT ELLEN EMPIRE
AND FOR THAT I AM EXTREMELY
GRATEFUL. WE HAVE MONIES THAT
ARE GOING TOWARDS INFRASTRUCTURE
AND TRANSPORTATION. THERE'S
MONEY THAT'S GOING TOWARDS MANY
OF OUR UNIVERSITIES IN THE
INLAND EMPIRE. UM THERE'S MONIES
THAT ARE BEING ALLOCATED TO
ADDRESS THE DEVELOPMENT AND, UM
, ADDRESSING THE NEEDED TRAINING
FOR BEHAVIORAL, HEALTH AND OTHER
AREAS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH
HEALTH. AS WELL. SO WE ARE
LITERALLY AS I'M WE'RE GOING
THROUGH THE LESSON. MIND YOU. WE
JUST RECEIVED THE BUDGET. UM
LANGUAGE YESTERDAY, SO WE'RE
STILL REVIEWING. WE'RE STILL IN
THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT RIGHT
NOW. SO OUT OF GRATITUDE. I JUST
WANT TO SAY HOW GRATEFUL I AM.
AS AN EXPRESS MYSELF AS A
VOUCHER THE INLAND EMPIRE FOR
ALL OF THE MONEY THAT HAS BEEN
ALLOCATED THAT WILL BE OF
BENEFIT TO THE INLAND EMPIRE,
WHICH, AS YOU KNOW, IS ONE OF
THE MOST EXPONENTIALLY GROWING
AREAS IN CALIFORNIA. SO FOR THAT
I AM GRATEFUL. I WILL BE STAYING
OFF THE BILL. TODAY JUST BECAUSE
WE'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF
REVIEWING THAT, BUT I DID WANT
TO JUST STAND UP AND SAY, HOW
GRATEFUL HOW GRATEFUL I AM AND
BEHALF OF ALL OF OUR INLAND
EMPOWER RESIDENTS. AND THE
LEGISLATORS REPRESENT THE AREA
FOR WHAT IT IS INCLUDED IN THERE
IN TRULY ACCOMMODATING THE NEEDS
OF THE INLAND EMPIRE. SO FOR
THAT, I THINK THE CHAIR UM AND I
DO WANT TO ADDRESS THAT. THERE%
ARE OTHER CONCERNS THAT WE'VE
WE'VE NOTED ON THERE, BUT
OVERALL IS SOMEONE WHO
APPROACHES EVERYTHING WITH A
SENSE OF GRATITUDE.
UNDERSTANDING. THAT IN
GOVERNANCE, WE DON'T ALWAYS GET
EVERYTHING THAT WE WANT THAT IT
IS VERY MUCH ALWAYS A COMPROMISE
BECAUSE OF THE WORK AND
RESENTING 40 MILLION PEOPLE. 40
DIFFERENT SENATORS AND YOU KNOW
100 OR 80 ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S THAT
THERE IT IS A GIVEN TAKE
PROCEDURES, SO I UNDERSTAND AS A
NEW MEMBER TO THE LEGISLATURE, I
COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND. THE
CONSTRAINTS THAT THAT MAY POSE
IN THE CONCERNS THAT MAY BE
POSED, AND I KNOW THAT THERE IS
A LOT OF OTHER ITEMS THAT NEED
TO BE ADDRESSED AS WE MOVE
FORWARD, BUT I JUST WANTED TO
JUST STAND UP AND SAY THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR BEING VERY
ACCOMMODATING TO THE INLAND
EMPIRE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, SO
LET'S SEE IF THERE'S NO OTHER
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS WILL START
