THOSE. SHIPS OVER ONE BILLION IN

DECARBONIZATION. AND IT PROVIDES
FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION
OF THE GIGI R. F. FOR THE
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION FUND
FOR THE ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE
PACKAGE. AND ON OUR MEDICARE
PROGRAM TO HELP ENSURE THAT WE
CAN INCREASE RATES TO PROVIDERS
IT PROVIDES SEVEN POINT TWO
BILLION FROM THE MANAGED CARE
ENROLLMENT FINE FUNDED WITH THE
MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATION
PROVIDER TAX. WHICH YOU WILL
HEAR ME MANY TIMES TODAY
REFERRED TO AS THE MCO TAX BUT
LET ME BE CLEAR THAT MCO TAX IS
NOT A TAX ON ANY INDIVIDUAL
CALIFORNIANS BUT RATHER ONE ON
OUR MANAGED CARE OPERATIONS. AND
IT TRANSFERS ONE BILLION TO THE
MEDICARE PROVIDER PAYMENTS
RESERVE FUND TO SUPPORT
INVESTMENTS IN THE MEDICARE
PROGRAM. AND TO ADDRESS THE
CRITICAL NEED FOR CHILDCARE THAT
SO MANY OF OUR FAMILIES DEPEND
ON. AND UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO THE
PANDEMIC SO MANY OF OUR CHILD
CARE OPERATORS HAD TO CLOSE IT
INCLUDES ONE POINT FOUR BILLION
TO SUPPLEMENT CHILD CARE
REIMBURSEMENT RATES SO THAT
HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE MANY MORE
OF THOSE CHILD CARE FACILITIES
RE OPEN. AND WE CAN SEE THE AT
ADDRESSING THE SHORTAGE FOR THAT
CRITICAL CHILD CARE NEEDS. IT
ALSO INCLUDES LEGISLATIVE INTENT
TO FIND A SIX ROUND OF THE
HOMELESS HOUSING ASSISTANCE AND
PREVENTION PROGRAM FINDING
THAT'S THE HAP PROGRAM. AND
ACCELERATES THE DISBURSEMENT OF
THE REMAINING FUNDS FROM HALF
FROM PRIOR YEARS. IT ALSO
APPROPRIATES THREE HUNDRED AND
SIXTY POINT SIX MILLION PUBLIC
BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTION FIND AND
SHIPS TWENTY MILLION OVER THE
GENERAL FUND. TO CAPITAL OUTLAY
FOR INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
AT SAN QUENTIN FOR A
REHABILITATION CENTER ON THE
GROUNDS. AND TO ADDRESS THE
CRISIS THAT A NUMBER OF OUR
TRANSIT AGENCIES FINANCIAL
CRISIS THAT THEY ARE FACING DUE
TO RIDERSHIP DROPS AS A RESULT
OF THE PANDEMIC. THAT HAVE STILL
NOT RECOVERED IT APPROPRIATE TWO
BILLION TO THE GRANT. TO THE
CALIFORNIA STATE TRANSPORTATION
AGENCY FOR THE POPULATION BASED
TRANSIT AND INTERCITY RAIL
CAPITAL PROGRAM. THAT'S CALLED
AT THE- T. R. C. P. BUT WE WON'T
USE THE ACRONYM WILL JUST STICK
TO THAT POPULATION FORMULA. AND
FOUR HUNDRED AND TEN MILLION FOR
THE ZERO EMISSION TRANSIT
CAPITAL PROGRAM AND IT ALLOWS
THOSE FUNDS WHICH WE PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED IN. LAST YEAR'S BUDGET
WHICH WERE ORIGINALLY FOR
CAPITAL ONLY IT ALLOWS OUR
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
AGENCIES THE ABILITY SOME
FLEXIBILITY TO ALLOW THOSE
OPERATORS IN MOST CRITICAL NEED
TO USE SOME PORTION OF THOSE
FUNDS FOR OPERATIONS IT ALSO
MAKES A VARIETY OF OTHER
TECHNICAL CHANGES. AND WITHOUT
MEMBERS I ASK THE ARRIVAL. OKAY
MEMBERS DISCUSSION OR DEBATE
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE I'VE
RECOGNIZED CENTER FROM
SACRAMENTO. THANK YOU REST
RESIDENT. FIRST OF ALL MEMBERS I
PROMISE I WILL NOT RAISE MY MIKE
ON EVERY BILL ON THE AGENDA
TODAY THAT COULD BE UP ON
APPLAUSE LINE I SUSPECT BUT-
THERE ARE. FOUR IT LEAST US IN
THE MINORITY AND I SUSPECT A LOT
HERE THERE ARE MANY THINGS IN
THIS BUDGET TO LIKE. THERE ARE
MANY THINGS IN THIS BUDGET FOR
ME ANYWAY TO DISLIKE I'VE SAID
BEFORE I DON'T HAVE TO LIKE
EVERYTHING IN THE BUDGET TO VOTE
FOR THE BUDGET. BUT ONE THING I
DO KNOW ABOUT. A PUBLIC SECTOR
BUDGETING THAT I LEARNED EARLY
ON THROUGH- MY HEARINGS WHEN I
WAS ON THE LOCAL BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS IS. THE EASIEST WAY
TO BALANCE THE BUDGET IS JUST
ASSUME MORE REVENUE. AND THAT I
FEAR IS WHAT WE HAVE HERE AS THE
LEDGE ANALYST HAS OPINED- AND I
THINK THAT IS GOOD AUTHORITY FOR
US. THE REVENUE ESTIMATES THAT
WE HAVE ARE LITERALLY BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS MORE THAN WHAT THE
LEDGE ANALYST BELIEVES IS
REALISTIC. NUMBER ONE IF THAT'S
TRUE WE ARE OUT OF BALANCE NOW.
I AND- WHEN TAX RECEIPTS COME IN
IN OCTOBER WE HAVE NO IDEA
WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO EQUAL
WHAT WE THINK OR NOT. BUT THE
TREND BETWEEN IT DURING THIS
YEAR WOULD SUGGEST THAT IT JUST
MIGHT NOT BE AND WE HAVE NO
CONTINGENCY IN THE BUDGET FOR
THAT EVENTUALITY SO- I WOULD
URGE. A NO VOTE. SENATOR FROM
BEAVER RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU MR
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS- I TO LIKE
MY COLLEAGUE FROM FAIR OAKS IS
NOT GOING TO RAISE MY MIKE ON
EVERY SINGLE BILL ON THE BUDGET
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO. TAKE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO TALK. TO THE
BUDGET AS A WHOLE- IT'S AMAZING
TO ME THAT. CALIFORNIA CAN GO
FROM AN EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHT
BILLION DOLLAR SURPLUS. TO A
THIRTY ONE BILLION DOLLAR
DEFICIT. IN ONE YEAR. NOW AS I
MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS BUDGET
TO COMMITTEES THAT WE HAD- THAT
YOU CANNOT HAVE. A BUDGET AT ALL
IN LESS YOU HAVE A PRIVATE.
BUSINESS AND PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS
PAY TAX FIRST NONE OF US IN THIS
ROOM WOULD BE ABLE TO CASH THE
CHECKS THAT WE GET TO BE A
LEGISLATOR IF IT WASN'T. FOR
PRIVATE PROPERTY AND PRIVATE
TAXES TO BE TO BE PAID FIRST- IN
THIS BUDGET WHAT WORKS SIMPLY
DOING. IS BALANCING IT BY COST
SHIFTING WE'RE SHIFTING MONEY AS
THE SENATOR FROM- BERKELEY
TALKED ABOUT IN BONDS- WE ARE.
TAKING GIGI R. F. FUNDS AND
WE'RE SHIFTING THEM AROUND TO
HELP BALANCE THIS BUDGET- THERE
ARE THERE ARE NO NOT ONE. SINGLE
THING EXCEPT FOR THREE OR FOUR
ITEMS THAT I WILL MENTION IN
THIS BUDGET. THAT HELPS. A
BUSINESS STAY IN CALIFORNIA. THE
ORIGINAL TAXPAYERS. JUST THIS
MORNING ON MY WAY INTO THE
OFFICE. I HEARD ON KPK. THAT ONE
THIRD OF SAN FRANCISCO'S-
PROPERTIES ARE VACANT. MAYBE
THAT'S WHY THERE'S- NO FOLKS
RIDING. THE TRANSIT TO SAN
FRANCISCO BECAUSE THERE'S PEOPLE
LIVING THERE AND THERE'S NO JOBS
OR IT MAY JUST BE THE FACT THAT
THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE. ON THE
TRANSIT SYSTEM. THOSE WHO DO. AS
BUSINESS. WE'RE GETTING A
WINDFALL OR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE
HIGHLY CONNECTED TO. THE
GOVERNOR OR THE LIKES AND THOSE
PEOPLE ARE- IN HOLLYWOOD.
THEY'RE GETTING A TAX BREAK TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE THEY'RE
ALLOWED TO KEEP PRODUCING. FILMS
IN AN ENTERTAINMENT HERE IN
CALIFORNIA IF YOU'RE A- CLEAN
ENERGY PROVIDER YOU'RE GETTING
TAX BREAKS NO OTHER BUSINESS IN
CALIFORNIA- THAT I'M AWARE OF IS
GETTING ANY TAX BREAKS. HERE IN
CALIFORNIA AND I WANT TO TALK
YOU KNOW YESTERDAY THE SENATOR
FROM LOS ANGELES TALKED A LOT
ABOUT. DISADVANTAGED MMHM N.
EQUALITY IN OUR- COMMITTEE
HEARING. AND I'D LIKE TO JUST
GIVE YOU SOME STATISTICS ABOUT
WHY. CALIFORNIANS HAVE A HARD
TIME. THE IN SPECIALLY IF YOU'RE
LOW INCOME OR DISADVANTAGED
LIVING IN CALIFORNIA. HERE'S
SOME STATISTICS. RESIDENTIAL
ELECTRIC RATES ARE 73% HIGHER.
THEN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.
GASOLINE 36% HIGHER THAN THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE. AUST TO BUILD
A HOME 40% HIGHER THAN THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE. MORTGAGES PER
MONTH 51% HIGHER THAN THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE RENT. PER
MONTH. 47% HIGHER THAN THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE. HOMEOWNERS AND
RENTERS INSURANCE 23% HIGHER
THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. REAL
ESTATE TAXES 46% HIGHER THAN THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE. CAR INSURANCE
PER YEAR 35% HIGHER THAN THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE. THIS ONE WILL
REALLY BLOW YOUR MIND HOME
PRICES. 91% HIGHER THAN THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE. RATE OF
HOMELESSNESS. PER TEN THOUSAND
PEOPLE A HUNDRED AND 44% HIGHER
THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE
MEMBERS I SUBMIT TO YOU THAT THE
REASON THAT WE HAVE. EQUALITY
INCOME IS NOT SIMPLY JUST
MINIMUM WAGE WHICH I THINK THERE
IS A WAGE DIFFERENCES THAT WE
NEED TO BALANCE. BUT IT'S ALL
THOSE REASONS I JUST STATED WE
ARE IN MOST CASES ALMOST 50%
HIGHER COST OF LIVING IN
CALIFORNIA THEN THERE ARE IN
OTHER STATES. IF YOU WANT TO
HELP A DISADVANTAGED PERSON IN
CALIFORNIA YOU SIMPLY CANNOT
JUST RAISE. THERE HEY YOU MUST
LOWER THEIR COST OF LIVING THIS
BUDGET DOESN'T DO ANYTHING TO
LOWER THE COST OF LIVING IT
QUITE FRANKLY TAKES TAXPAYERS
MONEY AND TRIES TO SUBSIDIZE
THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE. LOW INCOME
ANY EQUALITY DISADVANTAGED. FOR
EXAMPLE OUR CLEAN ENERGY GOALS
LIKE OFFSHORE WIND ARE GOING TO
COST THIRTY CENTS PER KILOWATT
MORE. NOW. WE'VE WE HAVE. THE
FIRST YEAR OF A DOWNTURN BUDGET
AND WE'RE SEEING THE CAUTIOUS
THE MEMBERS AS MY FRIEND FROM
SANTA CLARITA MENTIONED IN A- IN
A HEARING A FEW WEEKS AGO. THAT
HE WAS GONNA LEAVE CALIFORNIA
AFTER HE IS DONE IN THIS
LEGISLATURE WELL I WANT TO
SUBMIT TO YOU THAT. I CAME TO
THIS LEGISLATIVE BODY. TO HELP
PROTECT. THE FUTURE GENERATIONS
IN CALIFORNIA. NOT JUST MY OWN
WHO'S BEEN HERE FOR NINETY TWO
YEARS PROVIDING FOOD AND FIBER.
FOR CALIFORNIANS AND AMERICANS.
THE FIRM MICE SONS AND DAUGHTERS
TO BE ABLE TO STAY IN CALIFORNIA
. IF WE DO NOT ADDRESS THE COST
OF LIVING IN CALIFORNIA BECAUSE
OF OUR POLICIES. WE WILL NEVER
BALANCE OUT CALIFORNIA. AND SO
I'M NOT LEAVING. I WANT TO JUST
GO ON RECORD TO SAY THAT THIS IS
THE FIRST YEAR. AND THE NEXT
SEVEN YEARS BETWEEN NOW AND
TWENTY THIRTY WE HAVE EXTREMELY
HIGH GOALS TO. NOT BE ABLE TO
HAVE A COMBUSTIBLE ENGINE CAR
SOLD IN CALIFORNIA. TO MEET OUR
GOALS FOR CLIMATE. BUT AT THE
SAME TIME MEMBERS WE MUST
BALANCE OUT. THE ABILITY FOR
CALIFORNIANS TO AFFORD TO LIVE
IN CALIFORNIA WE WANT TO FUTURE
IN CALIFORNIA. SO THOSE ARE MY
COMMENTS ACROSS THE BOARD THERE
ARE THINGS IN THIS BUDGET THAT
I'M ABSOLUTELY GOING TO VOTE FOR
AS WE GO THROUGH THESE BUDGET
BILLS. BUT I JUST WANT TO LET
YOU KNOW THAT IF WE DON'T
ADDRESS THESE ISSUES MEMBERS OF
THE NEXT SEVEN YEARS. I DON'T
WANT TO SAY I TOLD. WE WILL BE
YEAR OF THE TO BE ABLE TO
ARTICULATE. THOSE CONCERNS I
HAVE WITH THIS BUDGET BUT FOR
THE FUTURE OF CALIFORNIA WE MUST
. ADDRESSED THE HIGH COST OF
LIVING FOR THOSE REASONS I WON'T
BE SUPPORTING ALL THIS BUDGET
BUT PIECES OF IT I WILL AND I
WILL REFRAIN FROM SPEAKING ON.
EVERY SINGLE BILL TO GIVE YOU A
BREAK TODAY APPRECIATE YOUR-
ATTENTION AND THANK YOU. THANK
YOU SENATOR. BUT I RECOGNIZE THE
SENATOR FROM SAN FRANCISCO. I
THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT OUR
BECAUSE I RISE IN. IN SUPPORT OF
THE BUDGET I WANNA. I THANK OF
THE BUDGET CHAIR IN THE PRO TIME
AND THEIR TEAMS ARE PUTTING
TOGETHER A VERY STRONG BUDGET-
IN A VERY CHALLENGING YEAR. AND
THIS BUDGET PROTECTS SO MANY
CRITICAL PRIORITIES AROUND
EDUCATION. AND HEALTH CARE. AND
OUR SOCIAL SAFETY NET- AND
INVESTMENT IN SOLUTIONS TO
HOMELESSNESS THERE ARE MANY MANY
GOOD THINGS. I WANT TO FOCUS ON
ONE AREA WHERE WE HAVE MADE.
TAKEN A STEP IN THIS BUDGET BUT
THE WORK IS NOT DONE. AND THAT
IS THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION IN CALIFORNIA AND
I WANT TO FOCUS PARTICULARLY. ON
THE FUTURE PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION. IN THE BAY AREA-
THIS BUDGET. ALLOCATES ONE POINT
ONE BILLION DOLLARS THAT CAN BE
USED FOR TRANSIT OPERATIONS TO
DEAL WITH THE FISCAL CLIFF. THE
FACT THAT. TRANSCRIBERS SHIP IS
NOT WHERE IT WAS BEFORE THE
PANDEMIC THE PANDEMIC DECIMATED
RIDERSHIP RIDERSHIP IS COMING
BACK IT IS INCREASING BUT NOT
QUICKLY ENOUGH- IN TERMS OF THE
TIMING OF LOSING AND OF FEDERAL
FUNDS FEDERAL RESCUE FUNDS FOR
TRANSIT. AND WITH AL ADDITIONAL
FUNDING TO BRIDGE THE GAP IN
TERMS OF THE GRADUAL RECOVERY OF
THESE SYSTEMS WE WILL SEE A
COLLAPSE. OF PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION SERVICE
PARTICULARLY IN THE BAY AREA.
OUR TRANSIT SYSTEMS HAVE TOLD US
WHAT WILL HAPPEN. IF WE DO NOT
MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE
FUNDING THAT THEY NEED TO BRIDGE
. THERE FINANCES UNTIL THEY
RECOVER. BARTON HAS TOLD US THAT
WE VERY WELL MAY SEE THE END OF
THE WEEKEND PARTS SERVICE THE
END OF NIGHTTIME. BOARD SERVICE
DELIMITATION OF AN ENTIRE LINE.
IN MY CITY NUNI HAS TOLD US THAT
THEY MAY HAVE TO ELIMINATE
FIFTEEN ENTIRE BUS LINES. AND
WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS SERVICE IS
ELIMINATED SOME PEOPLE SAY THIS
TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE MAY
CONTAIN THEIR BALANCE. IT'S NOT
ABOUT THE TRANSIT SYSTEMS. IT'S
ABOUT OUR CONSTITUENTS AND
WHETHER THEY CAN GET TO WORK.
WHETHER SENIORS CAN GET TO THE
SENIOR CENTER. WHETHER CSU
STUDENTS CAN ACTUALLY GET TO
SCHOOL. THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT
IT'S ABOUT WHETHER PEOPLE CAN
GET AROUND NOT EVERYONE OWNS A
CAR. NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD A
CAR AND WE SURE AS HECK DON'T
WANT EVERY SINGLE CALIFORNIAN
ONLY IN A CAR BECAUSE THAT'S A
DISASTER FOR TRAFFIC CONGESTION
NOT TO MENTION CLIMATE. IS IN
THE INTEREST OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO HAVE ROBUST PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION. THERE'S BEEN A
NARRATIVE A FALSE NARRATIVE THAT
OUR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
SYSTEMS AND I'M GONNA FOCUS IN
THE BAY AREA THAT'S WHAT I KNOW
BEST. THAT THE THAT ARE BAY AREA
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
SOMEHOW NO ONE IS RIDING THEM
BECAUSE NO ONE FEELS SAFE THAT
IS ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE. FOUR
HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE A DAY
BOARD MUNY TODAY. FOUR HUNDRED
THOUSAND IT'S NOT THE SIX
HUNDRED THOUSAND BUT IT WAS
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. BUT IT'S A
TWO THIRDS AND IT IS CLIMBING
BACK TOWARDS PRE PANDEMIC LEVELS
. BAR HAS HAD A TOUGHER TIME.
BUT ALMOST TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
PEOPLE A DAY. OUR BOARDING PART
TODAY ALMOST TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND PEOPLE OR BOARD BILL
BOARDING BOARD TODAY DESPITE ALL
OF ITS CHALLENGES IN TWENTY
TWENTY TO MORE THAN FORTY ONE
MILLION TRIPS WERE TAKEN ON
BART. OVER. FORTY ONE. ANYONE
WHO TELLS YOU THAT NO ONE'S
RIDING TRANSIT ANYMORE NO ONE'S
USING IT EVERYONE IS WORKING IN
THEIR BEDROOM NO ONE EVER HAS TO
COMMUTE ANYMORE NO ONE USES
TRANSIT. THAT IS UNTRUE AND IF
WE ALLOW THESE SYSTEMS TO
COLLAPSE. WE ARE STE ROYALLY
**** ALL OF THOSE MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE WHO RELY ON THESE SYSTEMS
OUR ALSO HARMING THE DRIVERS WHO
ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTEND
WITH A LOT MORE TRAFFIC. IN THE
BAY AREA OVER THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS. OUR TRANSIT SYSTEMS ARE
SHORT TWO POINT FIVE BILLION
DOLLARS IN OPERATING FUNDS. THE
BUDGET THAT WE ARE PROVING. FOR
THE BAY AREA. ALLOCATES BY
FORMULA ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION OVER THE NEXT FOUR
YEARS. SO THAT LEAVES A HUGE GAP
I AM SO GRATEFUL TO OUR
LEADERSHIP IN OUR BUDGETARY FOR
MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE GETTING
THOSE FUNDS BECAUSE IT STARTED
AT ZERO. AND WE YOU CAN'T THE
SKY'S NOT THE LIMIT
UNFORTUNATELY IN OUR LEADERSHIP
TO THE VERY VERY BEST THEY COULD
IN THE ASSEMBLY TO. TO GET FROM
ZERO. TO RELEASE SOMETHING
REASONABLE BUT WE HAVE MORE WORK
TO DO IN THE LEGISLATURE AND WE
HAVE MORE WORK TO DO BACK HOME
IN THE BAY AREA TO MAKE SURE WE
SUPPORT THE SYSTEMS AND DON'T
LET THEM. FALL APART I'M
COMMITTED TO THAT AND I WANT TO
THANK EVERYONE FOR PRIORITIZING
TRANSIT IN THE BUDGET THIS YEAR
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE. THANK YOU SENATOR. THE
FLOOR IS- TO THE SENATOR FROM
SANTA CRUZ. WHO NEEDS A
MICROPHONE SOUNDCHECK. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. MR PRESIDENT- SOME OF
THE DISCUSSIONS BENNETT A HIGH
LEVEL AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO
TALK IN THE SAME TERMS OF THIS
IS A HIGH LEVEL BECAUSE WE ARE
APPROVING. A BIG BUDGET THAT
COVERS SO MUCH GROUND AND THERE
WAS CONCERN RAISED ABOUT THE
FACT THAT. THERE WAS SUCH A BIG
SURPLUS LAST YEAR AND THERE'S A
DEFICIT THIS YEAR. IT IS NOT THE
MAKINGS OF. LEGISLATORS OR HUMAN
BEINGS IT IS THE UNDERLYING
SYSTEM. 80% OF OUR TAX REVENUE
COMES FROM EITHER PERSONAL
INCOME TAX OR SALES TAX. THAT IS
BEEN WHAT IS GOING ON FOR
DECADES AND IT OVER PERFORMANCE
AND GOOD TIMES. UNDERPERFORMS IN
BAD TIMES AND THAT IS EXACTLY
WHY WE ARE WHERE WE ARE. EXCEPT
IF I WERE GIVEN THE SPEECH WHEN
I WAS IN THE ASSEMBLY FIFTEEN
YEARS AGO AND I WAS THE BUDGET
SHARE. I WOULD BE GIVING A
DIFFERENT SPEECH. BECAUSE WE HAD
NO RESERVES WE LITERALLY HAD NO
RESERVES. WE HAD A HUGE AMOUNT
OF DEBT. AND WE HAD A TWO THIRDS
BUDGET REQUIREMENT THAT
INHIBITED ADDRESSING THOSE
PROBLEMS IN A WAY THAT THEY
FIXED UP. SO HE OF OVER TEN
YEARS AGO WE MOVED TO A SIMPLE
MAJORITY BUDGET. IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN THE GOVERNOR
SPEARHEADED A RAINY DAY FUND AND
I WOULD SUBMIT THAT BOTH OF
THOSE THINGS TOGETHER IS THE
REASON WHY WE HAVE FISCAL
SOUNDNESS RIGHT NOW IN THIS
BUDGET AND IN THE STATE. WE HAVE
THIRTY SEVEN AND A HALF BILLION
DOLLARS WITH THIS BUDGET IN
RESEARCH THAT NEVER HAPPENED
BEFORE AND THEY ARE NOT BEING
DIPPED INTO WITH THIS BUDGET.
BECAUSE LAST YEAR. THERE WAS THE
PRUDENCE TO PUT AS MUCH OF IT
INTO A ONE TIME MONEY OF THE
ACCESS SURPLUS AS WAS POSSIBLE
AND I'M PUNCHEON RESERVES. WE
WERE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD SOME
OF THAT ONE TIME MONEY WE'RE
ABLE TO DO DEFERRED THINGS THAT
DOESN'T ALLOW FUNDAMENTAL CUTS
TO THE LEVEL OF PROGRAMS IN
CALIFORNIA. AND IT'S BOTH A
FUNCTION OF THE LEADERSHIP OVER
THE LAST DECADE IN THOSE TWO
BALLOT MEASURES AND A FUNCTION
OF THE PRUDENCE LAST YEAR AND
PUTTING THINGS IN ONE TIME MONEY
. AND I WOULD ALSO ARGUE. THAT
THIS IS A BUDGET FOR INVESTMENT
THIS IS DOES INVEST IN A WAY
THAT READ DOWN STOP ALL
CALIFORNIANS WHETHER YOU'RE
LOWER INCOME OR UPPER INCOME
WHETHER YOU ARE- IN A
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY WHETHER
YOU ARE A BUSINESS. OUR
INVESTMENT IN EDUCATION IS
PROFOUND. IT IS PROFOUND IN THE
SENSE THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE
LAST THREE YEARS WE'VE HAD OVER
A 25% INCREASE IN K. THROUGH
FOURTEEN. IT IS AS I HAVE SAID
BEFORE MOVED US FROM THE BOTTOM
10% OF PER CAPITA SPENDING IN
THE STATES IN EDUCATION TO THE
TOP THIRD. AND THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT PRODUCES PEOPLE THAT FUEL
THE BUSINESSES AND DEAL WITH THE
JOB SHORTAGE. IN PART OF THAT
EDUCATION BUDGET IS HIGHER
EDUCATION HOUSING. I HAD THE
MISFORTUNE TO READ THIS MORNING.
THAT MY HOME AREA HAS MOVED TO
NUMBER ONE IN THE RENTAL MARKET
COSTS IN THE UNITED STATES THIS
BUDGET TEN PART OF IT IS THAT IN
A SMALL COMMUNITY IN THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. ONLY
HOUSES HALF ITS STUDENTS AND
THEN DROPS TEN THOUSAND ON A
COMMUNITY THAT IS UNDER SIXTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE AND WE HAVE THE
PEOPLE FROM SILICON VALLEY WITH
THEIR MONEY COMING OVER WITH
HOUSING TAKEN OUT BECAUSE IT'S
SUCH A DESIRABLE PLACE THAT
PEOPLE RENTED. ARE ON SHORT TERM
RENTALS RATHER THAN LONG TERM
RENTALS THIS BUDGET CONTAINS SIX
HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR UNITS OF
HOUSING FOR OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY
COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA. THAT IS A PHENOMENAL
ON THE POPULATION BASE AND
PROVIDES AN INVESTMENT THAT WILL
DEAL WITH HOUSING IN A VERY GOOD
WHAT WE ARE ADDRESSING NOT JUST
EDUCATION. BUT HOUSING HEALTH
CARE WE HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE MCO
TAX I THINK IF YOU DO HAVE THE
LONG VIEW OF THE BUDGET. THIS IS
GONNA BE THE FIRST TIME. IN
RECENT. THAT THERE WILL HOW OF
THIS MCO TAX COME ANY INCREASE
IN MEDICAL RATES THEY JUST HAVE
NOT BEEN INCREASED
SIGNIFICANTLY. OVER TIME THIS
BUDGET DOES THAT HEALTH CARE
MAKES A DIFFERENCE AND WHEN WE
INVEST IN TRANSIT JUSTICE
DISAPPROVE YOUR SPEAKER SAID AND
CONTINUE OUR INVESTMENT. OF
PROPOSITION ONE AND THE ROADS
THAT THE VOTERS APPROVED IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN THAT IS A
BUSINESS INVESTMENT. INTO IF YOU
LOOK AT WHERE BUSINESS
FLOURISHES IS WHERE THERE'S A
GOOD INVESTMENTS IN EDUCATION
GOOD INVESTMENT AND TRANSIENTS
AND WROTE. GOOD INVESTMENTS IN
HEALTH CARE AND THAT IS WHAT WE
WERE DOING IN A STABLE WAY WITH
A LARGE RESERVE IN THIS BUDGET.
IT WILL MAKE A FUNDAMENTAL
DIFFERENCE AND THAT'S WHY I'M
GOING TO BE PLEASED TO SUPPORT
AB ONE OH TWO AND I ASK
EVERYBODY ELSE TO DO THE SAME.
THANK YOU CENTER ANY FURTHER
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE. ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.
SENATOR FROM SAN DIEGO. THANK
YOU MR PRESIDENT AND- LIKE MY
COLLEAGUES FROM FAIR OAKS IN
BEAVER THIS IS. LIKELY TO BE THE
ONLY TIME I'M GOING TO RAISE MY
TODAY. AND I DON'T THINK I'VE
EVER BEEN- UPSTAGED BY JACK
HAMMER BUT IT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN
I'M SURE. LOOK I AM THRILLED
COLLEAGUES TO STAND IN SUPPORT
OF WHAT I THINK IS INCREDIBLY
GREAT WORK I'M VERY PROUD OF
WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED IN THIS
BUDGET. I APPRECIATE MY
COLLEAGUES FROM SANTA CRUZ
TALKING ABOUT THE RESERVES. THIS
SENATE- PERSPECTIVE IN TERMS OF
THE BUDGET PROPOSALS WAS NOT TO
TOUCH THOSE RESERVES AND IN FACT
TO INCREASE THE RESERVES.
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO
BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT NEXT YEAR
AND THE YEAR AFTER. BUT IT IS A
BUDGET THAT PROTECTS OUR
PROGRESS I BELIEVE THAT ACROSS
THE BOARD WHETHER IT'S
INVESTMENTS IN EDUCATION AS
OTHERS HAVE SAID HEALTH CARE THE
ENVIRONMENT OUR SAFETY NET
PROGRAMS. I DO HAVE TO SAY I'M A
LITTLE BIT FRUSTRATED BY THE
FALLACY THAT THIS BUDGET. DOES
NOTHING FOR BUSINESS. I WOULD
ARGUE THIS BUDGET IS A WIN FOR
BUSINESS. WE KNOW THAT A
SUPPORTED AN EDUCATED WORKFORCE
IS CRITICAL IT'S CRITICAL TO
MAINTAINING OUR COMPETITIVENESS
IN THIS ECONOMY AND MEETING THE
NEEDS OF EMPLOYEES. AND
BUSINESSES. WHICH IS WHY WE MADE
HUGE INVESTMENTS IN PROGRAMS IN
EDUCATION I'M NOT GOING TO GO
THROUGH IT AGAIN. MENTIONED
HAVE- CHILDCARE MENTION ALL OF
THE LEVELS OF EDUCATION I DON'T
KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT WHEN I'M HOME
IN MY COMMUNITIES AND I GO TO
TOWN HALLS. EDUCATION IS THE
NUMBER ONE THING I HEAR ABOUT
ALL THE TIME PARTICULARLY WHEN
WE SAW THE DELTA AND THE CUTS.
FROM THE TIME WHEN YOU WERE A
BUDGET CHAIR AND MY- COLLEAGUES
FROM FAIR OAKS WERE IN THE
ASSEMBLY AND WE SAW. GOOD
EDUCATION FUNDING AND THEN WE
SAW TAKE A DIVE. AND NOW WE'VE
WORKED OUR WAY BACK UP IT'S
IMPORTANT. YOU KNOW I REALLY
DON'T THINK WE CAN WE SHOULD BE
MAKING A STATEMENT THAT ITS
BUSINESS VERSUS ACTUAL PEOPLE. I
JUST DON'T THINK WE SHOULD. GET
THOSE TWO AGAINST EACH OTHER
IT'S NOT HOW THE REAL WORLD
WORKS. YOU KNOW IN ADDITION TO
THAT AND WE TALK ABOUT THOSE
PEOPLE THOSE ACTUAL PEOPLE WERE
TRYING TO HELP. WE EXPANDED
TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
CAREGIVERS OF SENIORS OUR
FASTEST GROWING POPULATION IN
THIS STATE THAT WE HAVE GOT. TO
FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GONNA
ADDRESS IN MEANINGFUL REAL WAYS
. IF ONLY BECAUSE MOST OF US IN
THIS ROOM ARE APPROACHING. THAT
AGE. WELL NOT ALL OF YOU I'M
SORRY FAMILY SPEAKING I'M ONLY
SPEAKING TO A FEW OF US. IT
UPDATES IT UPDATES THE
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES RATE STUDY
TO PROTECT ALL PROVIDERS ABILITY
TO EARN INCENTIVE PAYMENTS
THAT'S A STRUCTURAL CHANGE THAT
WE NEED TO DO THAT AFFECTS REAL
PEOPLE. A HUNDRED MILLION A
HUNDRED TWENTY MILLION IN
BUSINESS GRANT PROGRAM IN
ADDITION TO OUR TAX CREDIT
PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS BUSINESSES
TO LOCATE OR EXPAND IN
CALIFORNIA. SO AGAIN I THINK WE
ARE LOOKING AT THE BROAD ARRAY.
OF STAKEHOLDERS IN CALIFORNIA.
WE KNOW THAT A HEALTHY WORKFORCE
IS A PRODUCTIVE WORKFORCE. WHICH
BRINGS ME TO WHAT MANY OF US
CONSIDER A LEGISLATIVE VICTORY
WHICH IS THE BUY DOWN THE COST
OF HEALTH CARE WHICH YOU
MENTIONED TO MY COLLEAGUE FROM
SANTA. SANTA CRUZ TO BUY DOWN
THE COST OF HEALTHCARE FOR
MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES. THIS
BUDGET MAINTAINS OUR COMMITMENT
TO THEM AND IT PROVIDES THAT
HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS FROM PENALTY FUNDS TO
LOWER COVER CALIFORNIA COPAYS
AND DEDUCTIBLES A FIRST THAT
SIGNIFICANT. WE ALSO ARE
INVESTING IN ENERGY RELIABILITY
STREAMLINING CLEAN ENERGY
PRODUCTS PROJECTS WE HAVE TO BE
COMMITTED TO INNOVATION.
CALIFORNIA IS THE STATE IS
COMMITTED TO INNOVATION AND
TECHNOLOGY. THIS BUDGET HAS
HUNDREDS OF INVESTMENTS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE FOR OUR
COMMUNITIES THINGS ARE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES AND CONSTITUENTS
TOLD US THAT THEY NEED WHETHER
IT'S INFRASTRUCTURE ARE CRITICAL
PROGRAMS OUR COMMUNITY CLINICS
ON AND ON AND ON WE FOUND A WAY
TO DO SOME OF THAT AS WELL. ONE
OF THE TOP ISSUES CONTINUE TO
IMPACT OUR STATE. AND BUSINESSES
ESPECIALLY THOSE IN DOWNTOWN
AREAS BOTH IN BIG CITIES AND
SMALL OF COURSE IS THE
COMMITMENT YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD.
TOWARDS THE HOMELESS AND TO TRY
TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF
INCREASING HOMELESSNESS WHETHER
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MONEY
DIRECTLY TO OUR CITIES OR
COUNTIES ARE- THE CONTINUUM'S OF
CARE. OR WHETHER WE GO INTO THE
MENTAL HEALTH ARENA AND TALK
ABOUT ALL OF THE INVESTMENT OVER
THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. THAT'S A
THAT'S AN INCREDIBLE INVESTMENT
IN PEOPLE AND INFRASTRUCTURE.
FOR ME OUR ECONOMY IS NOT DONE
ITS JOB IF THE PEOPLE ARE LIVING
IN POVERTY. WHICH IS WHY I'M
PROUD THAT THIS BUDGET CONTINUES
TO INVEST IN PROGRAMS THAT
DIRECTLY HELP INDIVIDUALS AND
FAMILIES MOST IN NEED. I'VE
HEARD MANY OF OUR STORIES WE
COME FROM THOSE COMMUNITIES WE
COME FROM THOSE FAMILIES. IT
MAKES. PERMANENT THE 10%
INCREASE IN CAL WORKS GRANTS. IT
ESTABLISHES A PILOT PROGRAM TO
RAISE THE MONTHLY MINIMUM FOOD
BENEFIT TO FIFTY DOLLARS. AND IT
MAKES IMPROVEMENTS TO EBT CARD
SECURITY. WE HAVE A LARGE
POPULATION WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO
GRAPPLE WITH ISSUES. OF HOW TO
PROTECT RESOURCES. FOR THOSE
WORKING FAMILIES AND SO TO
PROTECT OUR FRESH AND CAL WORKS
FAMILIES FROM THAT KIND OF FAST.
APPROVED THE CREATION OF A NEW
SUMMER FOOD BENEFIT PROGRAM FOR
OUR KIDS. INCREASES THE SSI
BENEFITS FOR OLDER AND DISABLED
CALIFORNIANS. EXTENDS AND
EXPANDS A CHILD A- PILOT PROJECT
TO HELP FRESH CALIFORNIA GROWN
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES TO MORE
CALFRESH HOUSEHOLDS FRESH
VEGETABLES. AND THIS BUDGET
MAKES A DIRECT INVESTMENT TO
APPROVE THE FILM TAX CREDIT
SOMETHING. THAT I KNOW PEOPLE
CAN ARGUE OVER WHETHER BENEFITS
CALIFORNIA OR NOT BUT IT IS
ICONIC AND IT CREATES JOBS. IT
RESTORES ONE POINT TWO FIVE
BILLION DOLLARS OF CLIMATE
INVESTMENTS IT PROVIDES FIVE
POINT ONE BILLION DOLLARS IN
FLEXIBLE FUNDS FOR TRANSIT MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN FRANCISCO
TALKED ABOUT THAT. AND THAT'S
DIRECTLY TO HELP CONSTITUENTS
THE RIDERS. AND HERE'S THE
KICKER. WE'RE DOING ALL OF THIS
WITHOUT RAISING TAXES AND
WITHOUT DIPPING INTO OUR
RESERVES AS WE SAID AND HELPING
TO KEEP CALIFORNIA PREPARED IN
CASE OF A DOWNTURN. UNDER I'M
GOING TO SAY OUR COLLECTIVE
LEADERSHIP. WITH A LASER FOCUS
ON RESPONSIBLE BUDGETING. OUR
ECONOMY HAS SURGED. SURPASSING
ALMOST EVERY STATE IN GDP GROWTH
. RIGHT NOW CALIFORNIA IS ON THE
CUSP OF BECOMING THE FOURTH
LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD AND
THAT'S REMARKABLE. AND WHILE WE
HAVE CHALLENGES TO FACE. THAT'S
WHY WE HAVE LEGISLATION THAT'S
WHY WE HAVE CONTINUED OVERSIGHT
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE- AS WE FINISH
THIS WE'RE GOING TO START
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE WHAT WE
CAN DO TO ADDRESS THESE
CHALLENGES WE HAVE CHALLENGES
BUT WE ALSO HAVE CREATIVE
ABILITIES TO SOLVE THOSE
PROBLEMS. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT
ALL CALIFORNIA'S DOING BOTH FOR
OUR ECONOMY AND FOR THE PEOPLE
IN OUR STATE. EMPLOYERS THE
WORKERS THE FOLKS STRUGGLING TO
GET BACK INTO THE WORK FORCE
STUDENTS WHO WILL BE THE NEXT
GENERATION TO HELP OUR STATE
REACH NEW HEIGHTS. IT'S CLEAR
WE'RE PROTECTING OUR PROGRESS
NOW AND FOR YEARS TO COME. AND
FINALLY I'M JUST GONNA SAY THESE
ACHIEVEMENTS COULD NOT BEEN
REACHED WITHOUT THE FIERCE
DEDICATION OF OUR BUDGET CHAIR.
WITHOUT THE HARD WORK OF OUR
BUDGET SUB COMMITTEE CHAIRS
WITHOUT ALL OF THE BUDGET
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND OF COURSE
WITHOUT OUR BUDGET STAFF.
THEY'VE BEEN ON THE FRONT LINES.
TOUGH CONVERSATIONS AND CRUNCH
NUMBERS UNTIL THE WEE HOURS OF
THE MORNING AND I AM NOT KIDDING
WHEN I SAY THAT. AND YET THEY
NAVIGATED IT WITH THE GRACE AND
DETERMINATION AND WITH THE BEST
OF INTENTIONS FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS. SO I WANT TO THANK
YOU FOR THAT. AS I LOOK AT OUR
BUDGET HERE. COLLEAGUES I AM
PROUD OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
ACHIEVE THIS COMING YEAR. AND
I'M PROUD OF ALL THAT WE ARE
ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH AS A RESULT

ALL RIGHT HELLO IT'S AGAIN SO AB
ONE NINETEEN- MEMBERS- THIS IS
THE BILL THAT ENACTS THE MANAGED
CARE OPERATIONS- ENROLLMENT
ORGANIZATION ENROLLMENT TAXES I
REFERENCED IN MY OPENING
STATEMENT AND WHAT IT DOES IS
WITH THAT- ASSESSING OF ATTACKS
ON THE MANAGED CARE
ORGANIZATIONS IT ALLOWS US TO
SUPPORT OUR MEDIC CAL
INVESTMENTS TO INCREASE REACH-
PROVIDER RATES AND TO SUPPORT
THE GENERAL FUND SHORTFALL
ENSURE A BALANCED BUDGET. IT
WOULD BE IN EFFECT FROM APRIL
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY THREE TO
DECEMBER THIRTY FIRST TWENTY
TWENTY SIX. THE REVENUE FROM THE
TAXES I MENTION WOULD BE
DEPOSITED IN THE MANAGED CARE
ENROLLMENT FINDS AND WOULD BE
USED AGAIN TO INCREASE MANAGED
CARE RATES TO SUPPORT THE NON
FEDERAL SHARE OF EXISTING
MANAGED CARE PAYMENTS TO OUR
MEDICARE PROGRAM. IT TRANSFERS
FUNDS TO THE MEDICAL PROVIDER
PAYMENT RESERVE FUNDS- TO
SUPPORT THE INVESTMENTS IN THE
MEDICARE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTED IN
THE HEALTH OMNIBUS TRAILER BILL
WHICH WAS S. B. IN AB ONE
EIGHTEEN. WITH THAT PASSED FOR
EUROPE. MEMBERS ANY FURTHER
DISCUSSION ON THIS MATTER ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION. SENATOR
CAFIERO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR
PRESIDENT I WANT TO- I THINK
THAT THE CHAIR AS WELL AS THE
BUDGET CHAIR AS WELL AS ALL OF
THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT CAME
TOGETHER TO SUPPORT THIS TAX BOB
THIS. WILL FUNDAMENTALLY HELP US
CHANGE HOW WE DO HEALTH CARE BY-
LIFTING UP THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
INDIVIDUALS THAT. ARE DEPENDENT
ON MEDIC CAL TO BE ABLE TO GET
REIMBURSED FOR THAT FOR THE
SERVICES THAT THEY NEED WHICH
MEANS THAT WE CAN PROVIDE MORE
ACCESS TO CERTAIN HEALTH CARE
SERVICES. I'M ALL OVER THIS
STATE- INITIALLY THIS HELPS TO
FIND THE DISTRESSED HOSPITAL
LOAN PROGRAM WHICH IS CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT TO SAVE THE SEVENTEEN
OR EIGHTEEN HOSPITALS THAT WERE
PROJECTED TO HAVE FISCAL
PROBLEMS AND END UP IN
BANKRUPTCY BY THE END OF NEXT
YEAR SO I. RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS BUDGET VERY
VERY IMPORTANT BUDGET MEASURE.
THANK YOU THE SENATOR FROM
MERCED RECOGNIZE THE SENATOR
FROM BAKERSFIELD. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT AT THE BEGINNING OF
THIS YEAR WE FACED A HEALTH CARE
CRISIS WITH SOME- WITH ONE OF
OUR HOSPITALS MADERA CLOSING-
WHICH CREATED A HUGE IMPACT ON
HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY. AND THERE ARE
TWO FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED
HOSPITALS IN MY DISTRICT A LOT
OF THINGS CONTRIBUTED TO OUR
STATES WILL HOSPITALS INCLUDING
EXPANSION OF MEDICARE FOR ALL A
PREVIOUSLY AND- THAT WE EXPANDED
TO PREVIOUSLY AND UNCOVERED
POPULATIONS. IN THE
REIMBURSEMENT RATES THAT HAVEN'T
BEEN CHANGED IN ALMOST TWENTY
FIVE YEARS TO PROVIDERS. AGAIN I
SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT
AGAIN TODAY THAT WHEN YOU GET
REIMBURSED FOR A SERVICE THAT
COST YOU A DOLLAR AND YOU GET
LESS THAN SIXTY FIVE OR SEVENTY
CENTS IT'S A PATHWAY TO
BANKRUPTCY. A LOT OF THINGS HAVE
CONTRIBUTED TO THIS- SITUATION
AND THIS AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE
BEFORE US ON AB ONE NINETEEN
FILE ITEM EIGHTY FIVE. HAS
REASONS TO SUPPORT IT IN REASONS
TO OPPOSE IT BUT I BELIEVE THAT
BALANCE THE BALANCE IT CREATES
FOR- PROVIDING HOT-
REIMBURSEMENT RATES AND- IN A-
QUALITY HEALTHCARE TO THOSE THAT
NEED TO SPECIFICALLY ARE POOREST
POPULATIONS IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY THOSE RECEIVING MEDICARE
OUT. IS A REASON TO SUPPORT IT.
AT THIS YEAR WELL 75% OF THE
REGIMENT REVENUE WILL GO TO THE
BUDGET DEFICIT- A BILLION
DOLLARS WILL GO TO IMPROVE
PROVIDER REIMBURSEMENT RATES-
AND IT WON'T ALLOW OTHER RATE
INCREASES WON'T HAPPEN TILL
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE BUT THAT'S
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO ALIGN
OURSELVES WITH THE FEDERAL
FILING. AND WE CAN'T TO SUBMIT A
NEW FILING UNTIL NEXT YEAR WHICH
WILL ALLOW US TO ALLOW. AND MORE
PROVIDERS TO HAVE A HIGHER RATE
INCREASES FOR MEDIC CAL IN
FUTURE YEARS. I HOPE THAT THE
HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS THAT WE HAVE
HERE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HOLD ON FOR
THAT LONG ESPECIALLY ARE
FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED
HOSPITALS. IN THAT FUTURE BUDGET
DEFICITS WON'T HAVE THIS MANY BE
ROBBED IN PUT INTO- THE GENERAL
FUND AND IT WILL GO TO WHERE
WE'VE VOTED IT TO GO FOR TODAY I
REALIZE THERE'S NO BINDING
AUTHORITY ANNOUNCED. BUT I'M
TAKING THE GOVERNOR AND THE
STAFF. AND THE BUDGET HERE AT
THEIR WORD THAT THEY REALLY WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE MEDICARE
REIMBURSEMENT RATES. ARE THERE
TO TREAT THE PATIENTS THAT- AND
PROVIDE FOR THE DOCTORS THAT
PROVIDE THE SERVICES TO OUR MOST
VULNERABLE POPULATION. I DO HAVE
SOME THINGS I DON'T LIKE ABOUT
IT- OBVIOUSLY FOR EXAMPLE AN
OPTOMETRIST WHO PROVIDES
MEDICARE PATIENTS OR POOR
CHILDREN WITH GLASSES. BECAUSE
ABOUT FORTY FIVE DOLLARS TO DO A
PRE AYE EXAM THEY GET REIMBURSED
SEVEN DOLLARS THEY'RE NOT
INCLUDED IN THIS- REIMBURSEMENT
INCREASE- ITS IT'S- FRUSTRATING
THAT A LOT OF- ORGAN A LOT OF
PROVIDERS THAT PROVIDE THE
SERVICES FOR PRIMARY CARE- AND
SOME JUST WELLNESS CARE. ARE NOT
INCLUDED IN THESE RATE INCREASES
- THAT'S THE SAME FOR OTHER
PROVIDERS I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT
NOT ONLY WAS A HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS ADDED FOR THE
FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED HOSPITAL.
BILL THAT MY COLLEAGUE FROM
MADERA IN SALINAS WITH.
REDISTRICTING SHE'S PROBABLY
FROM ALL OVER THE CENTRAL PART
OF STATE. AND SHE WORKED VERY
VERY HARD AND HELPED COUNTLESS
MEETINGS IN AN INVITED ALL OF US
TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT PROCESS.
AND SHE MET WITH WE MET WITH
EVERY SINGLE STAKEHOLDER- TO
FIND OUT HOW WE COULD MAKE THIS
HAPPEN AND IT. AN EMERGENCY
PIECE OF LEGISLATION PASSED TO
GIVE ARE HOSPITALS ACCESS TO
GRANT OR LOAN PROGRAM. THE TOTAL
IN THAT POT WAS A HUNDRED AND
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS AND I'M
VERY GRATEFUL THAT THERE'S
ANOTHER ADDITIONAL HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS. GOING TO OUR
HOSPITALS NOW BECAUSE WE REALIZE
THAT IT WASN'T ENOUGH MONEY- FOR
THAT HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS. I ALSO APPRECIATED IN
THIS THERE'S FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS TO ASSIST RULE HOSPITALS
WITH THEIR SEISMIC SAFETY
COMPLIANCE. I REALIZE IT'S JUST
A VERY SMALL AMOUNT BUT IT'S
SOMETHING IT'S SOMETHING THAT
WE'VE NEVER HAD IN THE PAST. I
CAN TELL YOU THAT YOU KNOW
HAVING ONE OF THE- WORST
EARTHQUAKES IN. CALIFORNIA JUST
RECENTLY IN THE LAST FEW YEARS
THAT HAPPENED IN RIDGECREST ROAD
AREA. THE GOVERNOR EVEN WENT OUT
TO MY REAL COMMUNITY TO VISIT.
THE OLD HOSPITAL THAT WAS- THE
OLD BUILDING PART OF THE
HOSPITAL. WITH THE NEW BUILDING
PARTY TAX THAT MET ALL THE
ASHKHABAD SAFETY SEISMIC
REQUIREMENTS THEY DO MOVE
EVERYBODY FROM THE NEW PART OF
THE HOSPITAL INTO THE OLD PART A
HOSPITAL WITHOUT THE SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS. BECAUSE IT WAS THE
ONLY ONE THAT WAS STRUCTURALLY
SOUND TO BE ABLE TO TREAT
PATIENTS. SO I THINK WE SHOULD
OFFER MORE OFF RAMPS BUT I AM
GRATEFUL FOR THE FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS THAT'LL ASSIST US IN
THOSE IN THOSE- PROVIDING FOR
THOSE. SEISMIC SAFETY COMPLIANCE
ISSUES THAT WE FACE AS AS OUR
HOSPITALS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE
WITH FINDING THAT- I WISH WE
COULD EXTEND THE SEISMIC
DEADLINE I WISH THERE COULD BE
OFF RAMPS LIKE I SAID THAT I
UNDERSTAND. AND YOU KNOW WE CAN
ONLY GET SO MUCH IN THE BUDGET
ASK. I DO WANT TO BRING UP THE
ISSUE OF THE- MAJORITY PARTY'S.
FIXATION ON ABORTION PROVIDERS.
I NO WANT TO MAKE THIS UP LIFE
OR PRO CHOICE THE- BECAUSE
THAT'S TO A MUTE OR DEAD. ON
THIS. BUT I THINK IT'S BE A
FINE. FISCALLY SOUND DECISION.
WE SPENT ABOUT FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS- TO HAVE A HANDFUL OF
HOSPITALS AND- TO BE ABLE TO
PROVIDE SERVICES TO EVERYONE IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. BUT WE
HAVE ABOUT TWO HUNDRED NINETY
MILLION DOLLARS THAT GO TO
PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S AND- THE-
ABORTION PROVIDERS TWO MINUTE
TWO HUNDRED MILLION SORRY. AND
THEN THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL
NINETY MILLION DOLLARS IN
INCREASES BECAUSE THIS MCO TAX.
COLLEAGUES THERE FORTY MILLION
PEOPLE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AGAIN NOT MAKING IT A
PRO LIFE OR PRO CHOICE ISSUE
BECAUSE LIKE I SAID IT'S A MOOT
POINT ON THIS FLOOR. BUT A
FISCALLY SOUND RESPONSIBLE IT
BILITY ISSUE THAT WE HAVE AS
LEGISLATORS IS THAT. YOU'VE TWO
HUNDRED NINETY MILLION DOLLARS
GOING TO ABORTION PROVIDERS AND
I DON'T FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS
GOING TO HOSPITALS. 50% OF THE
POPULATION WOMEN- THERE IS A
POSSIBILITY THAT THEY WILL NEED
AN ABORTION PROVIDER ONE DAY
MOST OF THEM A LOT OF AMER
OUTSIDE OF CHILD DURING BIRTH.
AGE SOME OF THEM ARE NOT EVER
GOING TO HAVE AN ABORTION SO
THERE'S A SMALLER PERCENTAGE OF
INDIVIDUALS OF WHAT ACCESS THAT
WE'RE PROVIDING THE MEMBERS ARE.
HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY. BUT I CAN
PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEE YOU THAT
EVERYBODY INCLUDING EVERYBODY
MALE FEMALE REGARDLESS OF AGE
WILL NEED A HOSPITAL OR A DOCTOR
ONE DAY. AND WE DIDN'T
ADEQUATELY PROVIDE FOR HOSPITALS
OR DOCTORS. BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU
THAT OVERWHELMINGLY. THIS BILL
SAVE TWO OF MY HOSPITALS IN MY
DISTRICT AND I THINK MY
COLLEAGUE FOR MERCED. WHO WORKED
WITH THIS I THINK THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE FOR PROVIDING US AND THE
RESOURCES THAT WE NEEDED TO MAKE
SURE THAT THESE HOSPITALS DIDN'T
GO UNDER. BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE IN
A RURAL AREA NEAR THE HOSPITAL
TO GO CENTER IS A HUNDRED TWENTY
MILES TO THE NEXT HOSPITAL. IT'S
NOT LIKE DOWN THE STREET WE HAVE
MULTIPLE HOSPITALS IN THE SAME
CITY IT'S A HUNDRED TWENTY MILES
THE NEXT HOSPITAL. GOD FORBID
YOU HAVE TO SURVIVE A STROKE OR
HEART ATTACK TO GET TO THAT NEXT
LOCATION SO WITH ALL THAT SAID.
WITH THE NEGATIVES IN THIS BILL.
I THINK THE- NOT BE RESPONSIBLE
ON SOME OF THE FISCAL ISSUES. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR IT OVER. TO
ME AND I VOTE ON THIS BILL AND I
THINK THE BUDGET CHAIR. THE
SENATE PRO TEM AND SPECIFICALLY
MY COLLEAGUE FOR MERCED. WHO
ACTUALLY WORKED ON THE SAME CO
TAX AND ALSO I THINK THE PLANS.
THEY CAME TO THE TABLE. THIS MCO
TAX WILL TAX- OUR HEALTH CARE
PLANS. AND DONE IT BUT IT ALLOWS
US TO DRIVE DOWN A SUBSTANTIAL
AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT. TO BE ABLE TO
INCREASE PROVIDER RATE SO THAT
WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT OUR MOST
VULNERABLE IN SOCIETY OR TAKING
CARE OF WITH OUR MEDICAID
PROVIDER RATES GOING UP- AGAIN.
THERE ARE A LOT OF MEDICAL
PROVIDERS THAT. ARE STRUGGLING
TO STAY AFLOAT TO PROVIDE
SERVICES TO THIS MOST VULNERABLE
POPULATION. BUT I THINK THIS IS
A REALLY HEALTHY GOOD START AND
AGAIN I WANT TO THANK ALL THOSE
PEOPLE THAT PARTICIPATED IN THAT
BECAUSE OF. THE TWO HOSPITALS
THAT I HAVE THAT WOULD HAVE GONE
UNDER. AND NOT HAD SERVICES IN
FAIRLY LARGE COMMUNITIES- ARE
GOING TO BE SAVED BECAUSE OF THE
SAME CO TAX AND THE WAY THAT IT
WAS STRUCTURED SO THANK YOU VERY
MUCH RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL.

CLERK PLEASE THREE. ASSEMBLY
BILL ONE TWENTY BY ASSEMBLY
MEMBER TEAM IN EQUITY IN HUMAN
SERVICES AND MAKING AN
APPROPRIATION THEREFORE TO TAKE
EFFECT IMMEDIATELY BILL RELATED
TO THE BUDGET BILL CENTER THE
FLOOR'S YOURS THANK YOU SO MUCH
MISTER PRESIDENT MEMBERS AB ONE
TWENTY IS THE HUMAN SERVICES
TRAILER BILL THAT MAKES VARIOUS-
ACTIONS TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUDGET.
AND AMONG THOSE THINGS IT
REQUIRES OUR DEPARTMENT OF
SOCIAL SERVICES AND THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO
MAXIMIZE PARTICIPATION IN THE
NEW SUMMER EBT PROGRAM WHICH
PROVIDES FOOD TO OUR KIDS DURING
THE SUMMER MONTHS WHEN SCHOOL'S
OUT AND WHAT THIS PARTICULAR
ACTION ALSO DOES IS HELP ENSURE
THAT THE STATE CAN ACCESS UP TO
FOUR HUNDRED MILLION IN FEDERAL
FUNDS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE
LEFT ON THE TABLE. AND THUS-
THAT MANY OF OUR KIDS NOT FED
BECAUSE SCHOOLS OUT. ON THIS
BILL ALSO IMPLEMENTS A THREE
POINT 6% GRANT INCREASED TO CAL
WORKS AND AN EIGHT POINT SIX
INCREASE TO OUR STOCK STATE
SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT FOR S. S.
P. BENEFITS. IT MAKES PERMANENT
THE 10% CAL WORKS GRANT INCREASE
THAT WE APPROVED LAST YEAR ON A
TEMPORARY BASIS. AND IT PREVENTS
. HI TO CAL WORKS THE NEXT YEAR
BECAUSE ITS ONGOING. SINCE THUS
SUPPORTING OUR LOWEST INCOME
FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN. THE
CREATES THE CALFRESH MINIMUM
NUTRITION BENEFIT PILOT PROGRAM
TO RAISE BENEFITS FOR PEOPLE
RECEIVING THE LOWEST CALFRESH
BENEFITS. IT EXTENDS THE
CALIFORNIA FRUIT AND VEGETABLE
EBT PILOT PROJECT WHICH PROVIDES
MATCHING DOLLARS WHEN YOU
PURCHASE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
WITH AN EBT CARD. IT EXTENDS THE
CALFRESH SAFE. DRINKING WATER I
MEAN THE CAT YEAH CALFRESH SAFE
DRINKING WATER PILOT PROGRAM.
IMPROVES ACCESS TO IN HOME
SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR CHILDREN
WITH DISABILITIES. AND PROVIDES
A HOUSING SUPPLEMENT FOR FOSTER
YOUTH IN SUPERVISED INDEPENDENT
LIVING PLACEMENTS SO TO PUT IT
INTO REGULAR SPEAK TO HELP THEM
PAY RENT. SO WHAT I WOULD SAY
ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR TRAILER
BILL AND IT ACTUALLY APPLIES TO
MANY OTHERS BUT IN PARTICULAR
THIS ONE. THAT RESPONSIBLE
BUDGETING HAS MANY FACETS SO
BEYOND THE FACT THAT THE BUDGET
BILL THAT WE ADOPTED EARLIER
INCLUDES THE LARGEST RESERVE
THAT CALIFORNIA'S YET HAD.
ACTIONS LIKE THE ONES I JUST
REFERENCED IN THIS BILL. ALSO
HAVE ANY ECONOMIC BENEFITS
WHETHER IT'S INCREASING FUND
STORE CAL WORKS FAMILIES WERE
EXPANDING MINIMUM CALPERS
BENEFITS OR GIVING THOSE FOSTER
YOUTH THE ABILITY TO PAY RENT.
ALL OF THOSE HELP. ENSURE THAT
WE DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO FUTURE
DEFICITS AND LET ME GIVE YOU A
SPECIFIC EXAMPLE. EVERY ONE
DOLLAR SPENT ON FOOD PRODUCES A
DOLLAR EIGHTY IN ECONOMIC
ACTIVITY ONE BILLION INVESTED IN
FOOD CREATES FOURTEEN THOUSAND
JOBS THROUGHOUT THE ECONOMY.
EACH ONE OF THE PROGRAMS
MENTIONED IN HERE HAS ECONOMIC
MULTIPLIER BENEFIT EFFECTS
BEYOND THE INDIVIDUAL BENEFITS
TO THE BENEFICIARIES RECEIVE IT
WITHOUT I ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU SENATOR ASSEMBLY BILL
ONE TWENTIES ON THE FLOOR FOR
DISCUSSION. CENTER FROM
SACRAMENTO. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT- AT THE CONCLUSION OF
YESTERDAY'S- BUDGET SESSION-
COLLEAGUE SAID TO ME YOU VOTED
AGAINST HUMAN SERVICES HOW CAN

PROGRAMS AND ENHANCEMENTS OF
HUMAN SERVICES PROGRAMS IN THE
PAST- I HAVE ALSO NOT SUPPORTED
THEM IN THE PAST AND THE REASON
FOR THAT. IS ALWAYS BECAUSE I
DIDN'T THINK WE CAN AFFORD IT.
AND AS I'VE STATED BEFORE WE
HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET ON PAPER
AND SO THEREFORE ONE COULD
CONCLUDE WE CAN AFFORD THESE
ENHANCEMENTS IN HUMAN SERVICES.
BUT WE CAN'T OUR REVENUES ARE
NOT GOING TO COME IN AS THIS
BUDGET PROJECTS WE MAY EVEN HAVE
MORE OF A SHORTFALL AFTER
OCTOBER FIFTEENTH AS I OF-
INDICATED BEFORE- AND SO THAT IS
WHY I CAN'T SUPPORT THIS I AM
NOT OPPOSED TO HUMAN SERVICES.
I'M OPPOSED TO ENHANCING
EXPENSES WHEN WE CAN'T AFFORD IT
AND- I'D ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT
THAT THIS BILL ALSO INCLUDES- AN
EXTREMELY UNFAIR- INCREASE IN.
THE I. HSS COUNTY COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING PENALTY. THANK YOU TO

APPROPRIATIONS AIRPORTS TAKE
EFFECT IMMEDIATELY RELATED TO
THE BUDGET CENTER FROM BERKELEY
THE FLOOR IS YOURS THANK YOU SO
MUCH MR PRESIDENT MEMBERS THE
EIGHTY ONE TWENTY ONE IS OUR
TRAILER BILL FOR THE
DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES AND AMONG
OTHER THINGS IT DOES. EXTENDING
THE REMOTE TO MEETING OPTIONS
AND THE SUSPENSION OF FAMILY
FEES FOR THOSE WHO ARE SERVED BY
REGIONAL CENTERS. IT ENSURES
THAT CHILDREN WITH DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITIES ARE NOT IMPROPERLY
DENIED BEHAVIORAL THERAPY. IT
PERMANENTLY EXTENDS THE LEAD
PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES PEOPLE
WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
A PATHWAY TO STATE JOBS. IT
CREATES AN EMPLOYMENT FIRST
OFFICE UNDER THE HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY TO ENHANCE
INTEGRATED EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE WITH
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. AND
IT ADJUSTS OUR DEVELOPMENTAL
SERVICES RATE MODELS TO REFLECT
INCREASES IN THE MINIMUM WAGE IN
WITHOUT MEMBERS I ASK YOUR AYE
VOTE. MEMBERS DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE DISCUSSION AND DEBATE.
SENATOR FROM BAKERSFIELD
RECOGNIZED THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT I RISE IN VERY STRONG
SUPPORT OF FILE ITEM EIGHTY
SEVEN EIGHTY ONE TWENTY ONE AND
FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT THE
TESTING BUDGETS HERE MENTIONED.
BUT ESPECIALLY NOT JUST THE AND
THE ISSUE THAT YOU KNOW
INDIVIDUALS OR CHILDREN UNDER
FIVE COULD BE- TREATED OR
DIAGNOSE FOR EVEN NON VISIBLE
DISABILITIES BUT THEY'RE IN
THERE. I THINK A FEW OF THE
BIGGEST THINGS ARE IS THAT- WHEN
THEY HAVE AN AUTOMATIC- INCREASE
IN MINIMUM WAGE THESE
DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICE PROVIDERS
WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK HERE AND
FIGHT AND FIGHT AND FIGHT. FOR
RATE INCREASES TO COVER THAT
INCREASE WHICH ISN'T JUST THE
INCREASE ON THE WAY TO WEIGHT
THE WEIGHT ONLY GOES UP FIFTY
CENTS BUT WE BETWEEN TAXES
LIABILITY INSURANCE AND WORKER'S
COMP MIGHT GO UP A DOLLAR TWENTY
FIVE PER HOUR AND SO THAT WOULD.
RESTRICT A LOT OF THESE ENTITIES
PROVIDING THE SERVICES TO THE
MOST VULNERABLE PEOPLE IN OUR
SOCIETY THOSE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITIES. IT WOULD IMPACT
THEIR ABILITY TO PROVIDE
SERVICES SO I THINK WITHOUT
BEING IN THERE IS AN AUTOMATIC
RATE ADJUSTMENT TO ACCOMMODATE
THAT IS JUST A HUGE ISSUE. THE
FAMILY C. PROGRAM THAT IS GOING
TO CONTINUE I THINK THAT'S A
HUGE ISSUE I HATED HATED HATED
IF YEARS AGO WE DID THE SUB
MINIMUM WAGE BILL BECAUSE A LOT
OF MY DEVELOPMENTAL IN.
INDIVIDUALS IN MY COMMUNITY THAT
POPULATION WORKED RIGHT SO IF
THEY GOT AN ASSESSMENT AND- THEY
COULD DO 50% OF WHAT THEY WOULD
CONSIDER AN AVERAGE PERSON CAN
DO. AND THEN THEY GOT 50% OF THE
WAGES AND THEN THEY GOT TO
PEOPLE TO DO THE JOB OF ONE
PERSON. BUT THAT CREATED SOME
TYPE OF- YOU KNOW- IT IS STEAM
AND CHARACTER TO BE ABLE TO GO
TO WORK EVERY DAY AND- REMEMBER
IT'S SOMEWHAT HIGH FUNCTIONING-
AT MIDDLE TO HIGH FUNCTIONING.
AND- DOWN SYNDROME YOUNG MAN
CAME TO MEANING THE SAME GROVE I
GO TO WORK TODAY I GO TO WORK
TODAY. AND YET HIS LUNCH BOX HE
WAS SO EXCITED NOW HE'S SOMEONE
THAT HIS MOM AND DAD. KNOW THAT
HE'LL NEVER FUNCTION OUTSIDE OF
THE- YOU KNOW CARE FACILITY- HE
ASKED HAVE CARE CONTINUE LEE
BECAUSE HE'S- DEVELOP ONLY. AND
THE HE HAD A JOB IT WAS A JOB
THAT HE COULD DO. AND SO TO TAKE
THAT JOB AWAY FROM LIKE A OF
THESE. WERE BEING REPLACE
BECAUSE THEY HAD TO PAY. THIS
YOU KNOW PROCESS MINIMUM WAGE
DISAPPEARED. THAT WAS REALLY A
SAD TIME BECAUSE HE LOST HIS JOB
IN A LOT OF THAT POPULATION DID
LOSE THEIR JOB. AND NOW THAT
WE'RE REALIZING THAT THAT WAS
PROBABLY NOT A GOOD MEASURE
WE'RE NOT CORRECTING THAT
MEASURE BUT WE ARE AT LEAST.
SUBSIDIZING THE WAGES SO THAT
THE EMPLOYERS WOULD STILL HAVE
THE ABILITY TO PAY THE- MINIMUM
WAGE. EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT THE
STATE MINIMUM WAGE BASED ON THE
PRODUCT OR THE PRODUCTIVITY OF
THE PERSON. BUT THEY'LL GET THE
REGULAR MINIMUM WAGE BUT THEY'LL
BE A SUBSIDIZING FOR EMPLOYERS
SO THAT THEY DON'T LOSE REVENUE-
BY HIRING SOMEBODY WHO CAN'T
ACTUALLY FUNCTIONALLY DO THE
JOB. AND SO THOSE ARE ALL GOOD
THINGS IN THIS BILL AND I JUST
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU TO THE SENATOR

COMMENTS ON. THESE TOPICS THIS
IS MY FIRST YEAR AS AT CHAIR OF.
SUB TO AND I WANT TO THANK THE
MEMBERS WE THANK THE COMMITTEE
STAFF AND THANK ALL WHO GAVE US
INPUT WE STARTED THIS WORK AMONG
SOME OF THE WORST. STORMS AND
FLOODS THAT WE SEE IN OUR STATE
IN SOME TIME WITH TREMENDOUS
IMPACTS ACROSS THE STATE AND
ACROSS. MANY OF OUR DISTRICTS
AND I'M PROUD THAT THIS BUDGET
OVERALL HAS A SIGNIFICANT
FUNDING BOTH FOR RESOURCES AND
TO CONTINUE OUR PROGRESS TOWARDS
OUR CLIMATE GOALS- IN THE BUDGET
SUBCOMMITTEE WE WORKED TO
ENSURE. THEIR INVESTMENTS INTO
CLEAN AND GREEN ECONOMY WE'RE
NOT IMPACTED BY THE BUDGET
DEFICIT. WE'VE SEEN THAT IF
ANYTHING WE NEED TO ACCELERATE
OUR TIME FRAME BUT SAID
EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA WE REALLY REDUCE
EMISSIONS ABOUT ONE PERCENT. A
YEAR WE KNOW WE HAVE TO MOVE
MUCH FASTER. AND THIS BUDGET
ALLOWS US TO DO THAT IT
PRESERVES CRITICAL FUNDING FOR
CORE ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLEAN
ENERGY PROJECTS- WELL PART
PROTECTING THE PROGRESS YOU MADE
TOWARDS ADDRESSING THE
CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE FROM CLIMATE
CHANGE. A FEW THINGS WERE.
HIGHLIGHTED BY OUR LEADER AND
OUR AND OUR OUR BUDGET SHARE A
FIVE HUNDRED FORTY SEVEN MILLION
DOLLARS TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR
RESIDENTS TO LECTURE BY THEIR
HOMES. FOR CLEANER INDOOR AIR
QUALITY FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION IN FUNDING. THE
TRANSPORTATION TRANSITION TO
CLEAN VEHICLES. TWENTY FIVE
MILLION TO CONTINUE
TRANSITIONING OUR STATE
OPERATIONS TO NET ZERO AND OUR
LARGE BUILDINGS TO NET ZERO.
JUST HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OTHER
QUICK THINGS ON SHORT. TERM
CLIMATE POLLUTANTS ON METHANE.
AND CAL THE FIRST. GLOBAL TO
PROVIDE FIVE MILLION IN
INCENTIVES FOR FEED ADDITIVES TO
REDUCE EMISSIONS FROM LIVESTOCK.
EVER HOLDING POLLUTERS
ACCOUNTABLE. BY IMPLEMENTING THE
WINDFALL PROFIT TAX. WE'RE ALSO
INVESTING HISTORIC TWO POINT TWO
BILLION DOLLARS FOR WILDFIRE
PREVENTION SUPPRESSION AND FLOOD
RESPONSE. SO ONCE AGAIN I WANT
TO THANK. THE STAFF AND ALL THE
MEMBERS AND- I THINK OUR BUDGET
SHARE FIRST YEAR IS TO THIS
PROCESS. I AM PROUD TO SUPPORT
THIS YEAR'S A BILLS COMING
FORWARD THANK YOU. THANK YOU
SENATOR WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE
SENATOR FROM SANTA CLARITA
SENATOR WILK. I WANT TO THANK
THE LAFAYETTE ADJACENT-
PRESIDING OFFICER UNFORTUNATELY
I HAVE TO RISE TO OPPOSE S. B.
ONE TWENTY TWO. I'M GONNA TRY
TO. NOT GO INTO THE WEEDS ARE
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE BUT THIS IS
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES OF WHY SO
MANY PEOPLE GET FRUSTRATED- THE
BUDGET CHAIR MENTIONED- THE
JOSHUA TREE POLICY. THEY SHOULD
BE GOING THROUGH A POLICY
COMMITTEE NOT NOT THROUGH
TRAILER BILL I JUST ON ITS OWN
WITHOUT ANY NOTICE A NUMBER OF
YEARS AGO WE HAD THAT THE FISH
AND WILDLIFE- SAY THAT THE
WESTERN JOSHUA TREE IS IN
DANGER. WELL THERE'S ANYWHERE
BETWEEN NINE TO TWELVE MILLION
WESTERN JOSHUA TREES IN IN THE
GREATER MOJAVE DESERT. AND SO
WHAT I DON'T THINK THAT IT IS IN
DANGER AND IF IT ISN'T THERE IS
MEASURED WAYS THAT WE CAN PRINT
MOST ABOUT MOST OF MY
COMMUNITIES ARE ALREADY
PROTECTING IT. BUT WE'RE WE'RE
MOVING THIS THROUGH AND I SAID
IT'S A SO CALLED COMPROMISE BOTH
MY COUNTIES. WERE NOT CONSULTED
HAVE SIX OUT OF SEVEN OF MY
CITIES ARE IN- IN THIS AREA THEY
WERE NOT CONSULTED EVERY
DEVELOPER I TALKED TO WAS NOT
CONSULTED HE THE GOVERNOR DID
CONSULT WITH THE SOLAR INDUSTRY.
BUT I THINK THAT'S ALL WE
CONSULTED WITH. IN THIS IS THIS
IS JUST REALLY BAD POLICY IT IS
REALLY GOING TO UNDERMINE OUR
CLIMATE GOALS WE ARE NOT GOING
TO BE ABLE. TO BUILD HOUSES WE
ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO.
BUILD A DEAL FACILITIES AND MOST
THESE PEOPLE ALREADY ARE SUPER
COMMUTERS THREE OUT OF MY SEVEN
CITIES ARE WHAT'S CALLED SUPER
COMMUTERS MEANING SEVENTY FIVE
MILES A DAY OR MORE. IN THIS
GOING TO ACTUALLY JUST TO CHECK
OFF A BOX TO SAY HE THAT WE YOU
KNOW WE SUPPORTED SOLAR- WE'RE
GOING TO COST A LOT MORE AT.
ECOLOGICAL DAY THEM WE WOULD
EVER DONE IF WE DONE THIS A
MEASURE WAY THROUGH A- LET.
PROCESS I DO WANT TO TAKE THE
STAFF WE WERE ABLE TO PUT
TOGETHER A BICAMERAL BIPARTISAN.
GROUP OF LEGISLATORS TO MEET. ME
WITH THE GOVERNOR STAFF AND I
THINK THEY WERE OPEN SOME OF OUR
SUGGESTIONS BUT- HONESTLY BY
THE- TIME WE GOT THERE I THINK
IT WAS JUST TOO FAR DOWN THE
ROAD AND- WE'VE GOT TO TAKE OUR
JOBS MORE SERIOUSLY WE HAVE.
WITH THIS IS THIS GOING TO
ADVERSELY AFFECT FOUR MILLION
CALIFORNIANS AND I DON'T KNOW
ANYBODY THAT HAD A VOICE IN
DECIDING DECIDING- THIS POLICY
SO WITH THAT I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO POSE TODAY'S BILL. THANK YOU
SENATOR. NEXT GOING TO GO TO THE
SENATOR FROM BAKERSFIELD CENTER
GROVE. THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT I
TO RISE IN OPPOSITION OF THIS
BILL FOR SEVERAL REASONS ONE I
AM I DO UNDERSTAND THAT MY
COLLEAGUES BILL FROM MENLO PARK
ON THE FEED ADDITIVES FOR DAIRY.
COWS WERE ADDED INTO THIS BILL
AS THE INDIVIDUAL IN THE STATE
AND ON THIS FLOOR THAT
REPRESENTS THE NUMBER ONE DAIRY
PRODUCING COUNTY IN THE ENTIRE
NATION. AND TULARE COUNTY WHERE
THEY PRODUCE AND THEM AND HOW
THEY PRODUCE MILK PRODUCTS BUT
THEY ALSO HAVE. PROCESSING
FACILITIES STAFF THAT YOUR
CONSTITUENTS EAT OR DRINK ALL
THE TIME MILK ICE CREAM CHEESE.
THOSE KINDS OF THINGS MY DAIRY
INDUSTRY IS NOT INTERESTED IN A
FOOD ADDITIVE THE CLAIMS THAT
WERE MADE. IN THIS. PIECE OF
LEGISLATION OR THAT MY COLLEAGUE
FROM IN THOSE PARKS LEGISLATION
IS THAT. YOU KNOW DECALS PRODUCE
METHANE WHICH CAUSES CANCER
WHICH YOU KNOW DAIRY FARMERS
DON'T LIVE AS LONG JERRY FARMERS
OVER A HUNDRED YEARS OLD AND
THEIR FOURTH GENERATION CHILDREN
GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT
GRANDCHILDREN ARE TAKING CARE
THE DAIRY FARMS- I UNDERSTAND
THAT MY COLLEAGUE IN MENLO PARK
DOES NOT HAVE ONE DAIRY. IN HIS
DISTRICTS I WOULD APPRECIATE IT
IF YOU GUYS WOULD FOCUS ON YOUR
DISTRICTS AND WHAT'S GOOD FOR
YOUR DISTRICT AND LEAVE MINE
ALONE. AND FIRST AND THAT'S THE
FIRST THING THE SECOND THING IS
I'D LIKE TO LINE MY COLLEAGUES.
MY COMMENTS OF MY COLLEAGUES
THAT JUST SPOKE THE PREVIOUS
SPEAKER THE BILL'S PROVISION
REGARDING THE WESTERN JOSHUA
TREE. AND THE CONSERVATION ACTED
EXTREMELY HOSTILE TO KERN COUNTY
IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY- RUN
COUNTER TO ANY SCIENCE. TODAY
THERE'S UP TO NINE POINT EIGHT
MILLION JOSHUA TREES IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA INTO IN THE
GROWING AREA. IN A LAND MASS
THAT IS LARGER THAN CONNECTICUT
THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT. THIS
IS SO PLENTIFUL THAT THE FEDERAL
PRESS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN. REFUSES TO
PUT IT AS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES.
UNDER THE HYPOTHETICAL CONCERN
THE TO JOSHUA CREEK TREE COULD
BE IMPACTED AND IT'S NOT EVEN
THE TREES IT'S A SUCCULENT OKAY
SO THE SUCCULENT. COULD BE SOME
POINT SOME AT. SOME POINT
IMPACTED BY CLIMATE CHANGE THIS
WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY EXPLAINED.
TO THIS SUCCULENT. WHILE SLOWING
DOWN THE DEVELOP CIVIC CENTER.
ESSIG INCREASING FEES TO LANDAU
. THE MOST IMPACTED PEOPLE WILL
BE IN MY DOES. YEAH MEDIA
INCOMES ROUGHLY. THOUSAND
DOLLARS A YEAR IT'S GOING TO
COST THEM TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS IF THEY HAVE A JOSHUA
TREE IN THEIR FRONT YARD NOT TO
MENTION THE LITTLE TINY STANDS
ON A SUCCULENT THAT GROWS OUT
THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL HUNDRED
FIFTY DOLLARS. PER PLANT AND
THERE'S PROBABLY ABOUT THIRTY TO
FORTY OF THOSE THEY GREW OUT OF
THE BOTTOM OF THAT DEBT PLANS.
SO A PERSON THAT MAKES FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR PREMIER
BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITIES IN
THIS AREA THAT ARE SAVING EVERY
DOLLAR THAT THEY CAN TO BENEFIT
THEIR CHILDREN IN THEIR COLLEGE
EDUCATION. AND THEIR WAY OF LIFE
WILL BE. DAMAGED BY THIS PIECE
OF LEGISLATION IF YOU MAKE FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR TO GO TO
JOSH RICHARD TREES IN YOUR FRONT
YARD THAT'S FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS PLUS. HUNDRED FIFTY
DOLLARS PER STAND TO GET IT
REMOVED IT'S RIDICULOUS. AND
THERE'S NO SCIENTIFIC CRITERIA
FOR JUSTIFYING THE WESTERN
JOSHUA TREE BE PUT UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA ENDANGERED SPECIES
ACT AGAIN REFERENCE THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND JOE BIDEN. THIS
BILL IS A POWER GRAB BY THE
ENVIRONMENTALISTS THAT'S ALL IT
IS. IS GOING TO BE AN
EXTRAORDINARILY. IT'S GOING TO
BE AN EXTRA. LARGE FUNDING
SOURCE FOR SOMETHING. AND YOU
KNOW I'M GONNA BE REAL I HOPE
THE FBI IS FOLLOWING THIS
BECAUSE THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT
THE FUNDING SOURCE FOR THESE
JOSHUA TREES IN. IN THE STATE
BUILDING THAT'S AND MINISTER
DOWN TO OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL
GROUPS TO CONTINUE HORRIBLE
POLICY THAT AFFECTS. AND FX
NEGATIVELY THE CONSTITUENTS THAT
WE HAVE IN THE STATE. AND NEEDS
TO REALLY BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE
THE CONSTITUENTS THAT ARE
AFFECTED BY THIS HORRIBLE PIECE
OF LEGISLATION IS ALSO THOSE
THAT PAY TAXES. THE BALLOT ENTRY
LINE CHANGES THE INDIVIDUAL WHO
SUGGESTED THE BOUNDARY LINES AND
I'M ASSUMING IT'S AN APARTMENT
EFFICIENT WILDLIFE. THE
INDIVIDUAL WHO DID THESE
BOUNDARY AND BRANDER LIGHTS IS
EITHER IGNORANT. OR HE IS
GEOGRAPHICALLY AND INTELLIGENT
LET'S JUST PUT IT THAT WAY.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOSHUA TREE ON
THE TO HOME RANTS INTO TAKEN
INTERSECTION ON A FREEWAY WHICH
INCLUDES THE TO HONE GRANT. IN
THIS BOUNDARY LINE FOR EIGHT
TAKING IS REDICULOUS YOU CAN'T
HAVE A TAKING IF THERE IS NO
JOSHUA TREE ON THE PROPERTY. BUT
TO INCLUDE THIS IS JUST AN
INTERIM FOR THE CENTER FOR
BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY TO BE ABLE
TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN CIRCUMVENT
ALL THE GOOD WORK THAT TO HONE
RANCHES DONE. ON THOSE BEAUTIFUL
OUTLET MALLS IN THE SHOVEL READY
PROJECTS AT THE TOP OF THE
GRAPEVINE WERE ALL OF YOU PASS
IF YOU DRIVE THROUGH. THE STATE
ON NINETY NINE. ACCORDING TO THE
LANGUAGE IN NINETEEN TWENTY
SEVEN POINT THREE IT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING. THAT THERE IS NO
JOSHUA TREE LISTED AS
ENDANGERED. AND THERE IS NO
TAKE- I GUESS THIS WOULD BE A
QUESTION THE AUTHOR I APOLOGIZE
MISTER. PRESIDENT QUESTION OF
THE AUTHOR. CENTERS SKINNER
WOULD YOU TO TAKE A QUESTION. I
WILL HOWEVER I AM NOT SURE THAT
I CAN YOU CAN ALWAYS ANSWERED IN
A CLOSE LET'S HAVE THE QUESTION
I THINK. AND YOU CAN DECIDE HOW
YOU WANT ANSWERED IF AT ALL
CENTER GROVE WHICH IS YOUR
QUESTION. MY QUESTION IS
ACCORDING TO THE LANGUAGE. IN
NINETEEN TWENTY SEVEN THREE
PARAGRAPHS D. IT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE NO
JOSHUA TREE JUST LISTED AS
ENDANGERED. AND THAT THERE IS A
NOTE TAKING AND IF THERE IS A NO
TAKE THE BOUNDARY SHOULDN'T
MATTER SO IN OTHER WORDS IF YOU
DON'T HAVE A JOSHUA TREE. ON THE
GOOD SENATOR ARE TO LET IS THAT
PROPERTY THERE SHOULDN'T BE A
TAKE OR A PURPOSE FOR FUNDING
MANAGER WROTE WHAT IS THE
QUESTION THE QUESTION IS THERE A
TAKE IF THERE ARE NO JOSHUA
TREES ON THE PROPERTY CENTERS
SKINNER WOULD YOU LIKE TO ANSWER
THAT- MMHM. I HAD A VERY LOGICAL
ANSWER TO THE QUESTION BUT I
THOUGHT HOW COULD IT BE A
LOGICAL ANSWER BECAUSE THEN IT
WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE A QUESTION.
WHEN APOLOGIES FOR SAYING IT
THAT WAY BUT AS YOU JUST POINTED
OUT. IF THERE IS NO TAKE THE
JOSHUA TREE THEN THERE WILL BE
NO IMPACT OF THAT PROVISION. I
THANK YOU SAID. SEVERAL TIMES SO
ON THAT I WANTED I WANTED ON
PUBLIC RECORD THAT IF THERE IS
NO. EVEN THOUGH TOLERATE IS
INCLUDED IN THAT THE ON THREE
LINES IF THERE'S NOTHING TO TAKE
AND THEY WOULDN'T BE
INCORPORATED INTO SOME LONG
DRAWN OUT LAWSUIT- AND THERE
WOULDN'T BE A TAKE PROVISION
BECAUSE IT IS COMMON SENSE. BUT
THE WAY THE BILL IS WRITTEN JUST
FOR MY COLLEAGUES INFORMATION
THE WAY THE BILL IS WRITTEN IT
INCLUDES TO HONE RANT. AND AGAIN
THERE IS NOT ONE JOSHUA TREE OR
SUCCULENT. ON TO HOME RANCH
PROPERTY AND AGAIN THIS IS A
HORRIBLE PROVISION THAT IT
NEGATIVELY IMPACTS A LOT OF
CONSTITUENTS IN MY DISTRICT AND
OVER IN THE DESERT AREA. THERE
ARE NINE POINT EIGHT MILLION OF
THE SUCCULENTS CONTINUING TO
GROW LARGER THAN THE CAPACITY OR
THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT

WE HAVE FIVE FIVE MEMBERS ASKING
TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE I WOULD
JUST NOTE THAT. THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF ASSEMBLY COMMITTEES

THIRTY TWO AND I WOULD LIKE TO
COMPLIMENT- IN PARTICULAR THE
BUDGET STAFF THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE- MY COLLEAGUE FROM
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA THEY WERE SPEND SO
MUCH COLLABORATION AND SO MUCH.
FOCUS ON MAKING SURE THAT OUR
PRODUCTION TAX CREDIT GETS
EXTENDED AS YOU KNOW LAST YEAR I
HAD A- SB FOUR EIGHTY FIVE WHICH
WOULD HAVE EXTENDED IT FOR FIVE
YEARS AND THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE-
INQUIRED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY
OF INCLUDING IT IN THE BUDGET
EARLY IN THE PROCESS. AND OF
COURSE TOOK THAT OPPORTUNITY AND
I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO
THE GOVERNOR AND HIS TEAM FOR
MAKING SURE THAT WE HAD THIS IN
THE JANUARY BUDGET AND THEY
REVISED BUDGET AND THEN TODAY'S
BUDGET- IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE
KEEP. CALIFORNIA'S GOLDEN FILM
INDUSTRY IN THE STATE AND LET ME
GIVE YOU A COUPLE STATISTICS
SINCE TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN- WE
HAVE HAD. A TWENTY ONE POINT
EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS IN
ECONOMIC OUTPUT DIRECTLY
ASSOCIATED WITH KEEPING THESE
FILM JOBS IN CALIFORNIA WE'VE
IT'S TOUCHED A HUNDRED AND TEN
THOUSAND INDIVIDUAL JOBS. IT'S
CREATED SEVEN POINT SEVEN
BILLION DOLLARS IN WAGES AND
GENERATED NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY
MILLION DOLLARS IN TAX. REVENUE
THOSE ARE STAGGERING STATISTICS
WHICH MAKES THIS PROGRAM HAVE
SIGNIFICANT- ECONOMIC SENSE AND
BENEFIT TO THE TAXPAYERS OF
CALIFORNIA BY INVESTING THEIR
HARD EARNED MONEY IN CREATING.
MORE UNION JOBS SPECIFICALLY

PASSIONATE ABOUT SET SAFETY AND
AGAIN THE SAFE SIX SET SAFETY
PROVISION IS IN THIS AND I WANT
TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT AND PROPS TO
HIM FOR MAKING SURE THAT WE HAD
THAT DEALT WITH AS WELL. SO
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A STATE WIDE
BENEFIT BECAUSE KEEPING THESE
JOBS HERE PROTECTS THOSE JOBS
AND THEN AS THE CHAIR OF THE
BUDGET COMMITTEE MENTIONED THERE
ARE ALSO PROVISIONS IN SB ONE
THIRTY TWO WHICH WERE FINE THE
CONSTRUCTION TAX CREDIT. THE
LIFE CYCLE OF A SOUND STAGE IS A
HUNDRED YEARS AND SO LAST YEAR

THE TRAGIC DEATH OF A
CINEMATOGRAPHER. A BY THE NAME
OF HOPE LENA ON THE REST FILM
SET WHICH WAS A CALIFORNIA
PRODUCTION FILM IN NEW MEXICO
LIKE MOST TRAGIC INCIDENTS A
SERIES OF MISSTEPS BY THE LEAD
TO THAT IT ACCIDENT. BUT THAT'S
NOT TO SAY- THAT- IT MIGHT NOT
HAPPEN BUT HAD MULTIPLE
SAFEGUARDS- ANY WHICH OF ANY ONE
OF WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN
FOLLOWED TO PREVENT IT- IT MAY
HAVE- IT MAY HAVE BEEN PREVENTED
RIGHT AFTER THAT ACCIDENT-
MEETINGS COMMENCE WITH THE
MOTION PICTURE ASSOCIATION AYE
OXY. THE UNION THAT REPRESENTS
WORKERS IN ENTERTAINMENT
INDUSTRY THE DIRECTORS GUILD OF
AMERICA WERE ALSO PART OF THOSE
DISCUSSIONS AND THEY BECAME A

IN THIS MOVEMENT WHEN I CAME UP
HERE ELEVEN YEARS AGO. THE FILM
TAX CREDIT WAS. ONLY A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS IT WAS A
STRAIGHT LOTTERY NOT BASED UPON

HOPE IN YOUR CASE ALL THAT THAT
THAT THAT STORY IS IN THERE.
KISS AND TELL HER ABOUT THAT.
BEING ROUGH ON ME. ANYWAY SO AND
I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S
BEEN SHARED IN TERMS OF
ECONOMICS BUT REALLY THIS IS A
QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUE. YOU KNOW
WHEN I WAS RUNNING BACK IN
TWENTY TWELVE I HAD A BUNCH OF
YOU KNOW MEET GREET SOME
PEOPLE'S HOMES. INVARIABLY THEY
WERE SOMEBODY THERE. AND THEIR
SPOUSE WAS OUT OF STATE BECAUSE
THEY'RE FILMING OUT OF STATER
MEMBER HAVING AYE AYE IN CASTAIC
A WOMAN. CRYING ON MY SHOULDER
BECAUSE HER HUSBAND. FILM
CAMERAMAN HAD NOT IT NOT FILMED

ABOUT QUALITY OF LIFE- BUT-
