PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA TO THE LOST
SUSTAINED I VIVIDLY REMEMBER THE
19 4020 BUSHFIRES IN NEW SOUTH
WALES. WHEN THE UNITED STATES
AND CALIFORNIA DEPLOYED 362
FIREFIGHTERS TO PROVIDE VITAL
ASSISTANCE. TODAY I WISH TO
ACKNOWLEDGE AND HONOR THE
COURAGE AND HEROISM OF THE LIGHT
CAPTAIN IN MACBETH. FIRST
OFFICER PAUL HUDSON. AND FLIGHT
ENGINEER RICK DE MORGEN, JUNIOR.
FIREFIGHTING AIR TANKER SEE 1

WHERE SHE INVESTIGATED WHY
PEOPLE MAKE CHOICES THAT ARE NOT

DISORDERS THROUGHOUT GRADUATE
SCHOOL, ZOE FOSTERED HER
INTEREST IN POLICY,

OTHER SCIENTISTS INTERESTED IN
POLICY. THINK ABOUT THAT, AT A
YOUNG AGE. DID SHE EMPOWERED
OTHER SCIENTISTS TO HAVE AN
INTEREST IN PUBLIC POLICY. AND
WHAT A CONCEPT BRING SMART,
SCIENCE ORIENTED PEOPLE INTO THE
PUBLIC POLICY ARENA WHERE WE
REGULATE SCIENCE. HOW ABOUT THAT
DOCTOR PEN? IT'S AWESOME. SHE
HAS WORKED ON BILLS RELATED TO
EDUCATION, MENTAL HEALTH AND THE
ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING BEING
THEIR CHAMPION BEHIND SB 12 55,
WHICH SEEKS TO REDUCE WASTE BY

WHAT'S THE SECOND? MOST
IMPORTANT QUALITY? I SAY
INTELLIGENCE, AND IF YOU'RE NICE
AND SMART, YOU'RE GOING TO DO
BIG THINGS IN THIS WORLD. AND DR
GUTTMANN IS A NICE COMMITTED
SMART, DEDICATED YOUNG
PROFESSIONAL, AND I KNOW SHE'S
HEARTBROKEN THAT THIS FELLOWSHIP
IS GOING TO END IN OCTOBER
BECAUSE SHE LIVES IN L. A AND
HER HEART IS UP HERE IN
SACRAMENTO, WHERE WE'VE WORKED
ON PUBLIC POLICY, AND I KNOW
THAT IS GOING TO BE A TREMENDOUS
AH, CHANGE IN HER LIFE BECAUSE
SHE HAS FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THE
PUBLIC POLICY THAT SHE HAS BEEN
DOING UP HERE IN THE CAPITAL AND
HAS BEEN AN AMAZING CONTRIBUTOR
TO OUR OFFICE AND WILL CONTINUE
TO BE ACTIVE IN PUBLIC POLICY AS
SHE GOES BACK DOWN SOUTH AND FOR
ALL OF THE USC FOLKS WHO ARE UP
HERE SHE IS A PROUD BRUIN WHO
BROUGHT THAT PERSPECTIVE TO THE
CAPITAL AS WELL. SO THANK YOU,
DR GUTTMANN, FOR ALL YOU HAVE
DONE FOR OUR OFFICE AND ALL
YOU'VE DONE FOR THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE
AND AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU ON OUR
TEAM. THANK YOU. LAST
RECOGNITION TODAY WILL BE BY
SENATOR ALLEN FOR JACOB O'CONNOR
. SENATOR ALLEN IS RECOGNIZED
FROM SENATOR BORG'S DESK. I
WANTED TO COME OVER HERE, SO I
HAVE A DUTY TO SEE JACOB WHO'S
BEEN SUCH A GREAT ASSET FOR TO
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
COMMITTEE, YOU KNOW, I ALSO WANT
TO JUST RISE TO EXTOL THE
VIRTUES OF THE SCIENCE FELLOWS
PROGRAM WHERE WE BRING IN SUCH
TALENTED, WELL TRAINED
SCIENTISTS FROM ACROSS THE
COUNTRY. WE'VE HAD SOME
INCREDIBLE SCIENCE FELLOWS COME
BOTH INTO MY PERSONAL STAFF AND
ALSO COMMITTEE STAFF OVER THE
OVER THE YEARS AND I JUST WANT
TO REITERATE AND AGREE WITH MY
COLLEAGUE ABOUT THE CALIBER OF
THE FOLKS WHO COME THROUGH
THROUGH THE SCIENCE FELLOWS
PROGRAM AND WE OBVIOUSLY WANTED
TO SAY THAT JACOB IS PART OF
THAT EXTRAORDINARY LEGACY AND WE
WANT TO THANK HIM. HIS TIRELESS
WORK HELPED TO PROTECT
CALIFORNIANS THROUGH THE AIR
THAT THEY BREATHE THE WATER THEY
DRINK. THE PRODUCTS THAT USE
JACOB CAME TO US. AFTER EARNING
HIS PHD IN BIOCHEMISTRY FROM THE
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. AND
YES, NEARLY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF
THESE SCIENCE FELLOWS HAVE OUR
DOCTORS. SO IT IS A HAVE
DOCTORATES. IT'S SUCH A WELL
TRAINED AND EDUCATED GROUP. BUT
HE DIDN'T JUST SPEND HIS TIME IN
SEATTLE DOING SCIENCE IN A LOUD
HE WAS INVOLVED IN POLITICS AS
WELL LABOR ORGANIZER WITH HIS
GRADUATE STUDENT UNION, AND HE
WAS A SCIENCE COMMUNICATOR, SO
HE WAS ABLE IN SOME RESPECTS.
THE WORK HERE WAS A GREAT
MARRIAGE OF HIS INTERESTING IN
POLITICS AND COMMUNICATIONS,
AND, OF COURSE, SCIENCE NOW YOU
KNOW, WE, YOU KNOW, YOU LIKE TO
START OUT YOUR YOUR SENATE
FELLOWS WITH EASY TASK, SO WE
STARTED HIM OUT WITH JUST A
COUPLE OF SMALL BILLS ON ON
CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE. EASY
EASY, EASY TOPICS WITH NO
CONTROVERSY, AND I'M LOOKING AT
MY COLLEAGUES, SENATOR CAVALLERO
AND LIMÓN, WHO'VE BEEN BIRD
DOGGING THIS VERY DIFFICULT
ISSUE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.
BUT JACOB WAS THROWN INTO THE
LION'S DEN WITH WITH WITH
SENATOR CAVALIERS BILL AND A
COUPLE OTHER BILLS AND HANDLED A
LOT OF PRESSURE WITH A LOT OF
GRACE. THERE THESE ARE COURSE
CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES VERY TIMELY
AT THE TOP OF THE NEWS CYCLE AND
A LOT OF DIFFICULT, CONFLICTING
POSITIONS AND HIS ABILITY TO
NAVIGATE AND COME OUT WITH A
GOOD ANALYSIS AND WORK ON
NEGOTIATIONS WAS WAS VERY
IMPRESSIVE. HE ALSO WE THREW HIM
IN WITH FIFA'S ANOTHER EASY
TOPIC. ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
BILLS, ANOTHER CHALLENGING AREA
BUT IMPORTANT AREA OF WORK THAT
WE WORK ON IN THE EQ TO
COMMITTEE AND EACH OF THESE
CASES, JACOB WAS ABLE TO STRIKE
A CRUCIAL BALANCE BETWEEN
EVALUATING THE SCIENCE BUT ALSO
A LOT OF THE REAL WORLD EQUITY
ISSUES THAT WE'RE REPRESENTING
THE BILLS THAT HE WORKED ON.
JACOB IT'S BEEN SUCH A PLEASURE
HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK
WITH YOU ON ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY COMMITTEE AND WE WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK
AND YOUR SERVICE TO OUR SENATE.
WE WISH YOU THE VERY BEST IN IN
YOUR CAREER. WHETHER WE GET TO
KEEP YOU HERE OR WE OR YOU GO
BACK UP THE STATE OF WASHINGTON,
BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
SERVICE TO OUR STATE AND OUR
SENATE. THANK YOU, SIR. ALAN

TO LOCAL MOBILE HOME RENT

CONCERNS EXPRESSED ON THIS FLOOR

WHAT I BELIEVE IS AN ELEGANT
COMPROMISE IN THE ASSEMBLY THAT
BASICALLY SAYS THAT ANY MOBILE
HOME PARK OR ANY NEW MOBILE HOME
SPACE WILL HAVE 15 YEARS TO
RECOVER THE COSTS OF
DEVELOPMENT. AND AFTER THEY
RECOVERED THE COSTS OF
DEVELOPMENT, THEN THE MOBILE
HOME IN THE LOCAL BILL WILL KICK
IN. WHILE THERE'S STILL A LITTLE
OPPOSITION, THE OPPOSITION HAS
WALKED AWAY FROM WORKING AGAINST
THE BILL. I THINK THIS IS A
GREAT SOLUTION. IT'S REFLECTED
