Now is the time to make a difference!
(5/6): Republican Assembly Leader @AsmwomanMacedo and Assemblyman @DavidTangipa headlined a Super Saturday for @DuPontforSenate and @MayorMikeMurphy in Merced, two top-targeted legislative races.
California today became the first state in the nation to create rules limiting the kind of replacement tires people can buy for their car, pushing energy efficiency.
We were the only TV crew (maybe only news org) in the room when the California Energy Commission voted on this.
Help canvass for @DuPontforSenate District 14!

Today, Senate Democrats passed Senate Bill 169, a Transportation Budget Trailer Bill.
I voted NO because a provision in this bill would allow the High-Speed Rail Inspector General to keep pertinent information hidden from the public.
The Office of the High-Speed Rail Inspector General was created to enhance accountability & help shine a light on issues with this project, assisting the Legislature in its efforts to rein it in. Instead, this bill would do the opposite.
Preventing waste, fraud, and abuse should be a bipartisan issue.

I Voted No on the Democrats' $14 Billion Tax Increase.
This budget raises $14 billion in new taxes including a software tax and a health insurance tax that could cost families over $400 a year.
Every year the answer is the same. Spend more. Tax more. Never once ask if the spending was worth it. California cannot tax its way out of a spending problem and it is time we started saying so out loud. #FixCalifornia
$3.2 billion taken out of healthcare to balance budget, $3.9 billion stolen from schools, $688 million in debt paid to fed govt for unemployment fraud loan, $14 billion out of reserves, sales tax on apps and software… gas tax increase in 2 weeks.
But bravo! 🙌
Californians were fed up with retail theft and passed Prop 36 in all 58 counties with nearly 70% voter approval.
Instead of fully funding and implementing what voters demanded, state legislators drafted AB 2108 and created yet another diversion program: this time for retail theft offenders.
Like mental health diversion, it offers another way to avoid jail time. Offenders even walk away without a conviction on their record. Even more surprising is that some of California’s largest retailers, along with the California Retailers Association, support the bill despite reporting billions of dollars in losses due to retail theft.
Voters wanted meaningful consequences for retail theft offenders, but the state legislature moved in the opposite direction.
The Assembly voted to approve billions in new taxes that will increase costs for California consumers, employers, and innovators. The tax hikes now move to the state Senate.
Sen. Tony Strickland had repeatedly asked if a California company has been found to price gouge.
Department of Petroleum Market Oversight leader Tai Milder says they have not.
The California State Senate Energy Committee is having an oversight hearing on the state’s oil and gas supply.
The Newsom administration has so far spent the first hour making the point that the oil industry is making more money off of California drivers.
This is not the best of times to inflict an almost $3 hike in minimum wage on farms in California. Orchards are being pulled out, tomato acreage cut back, cannery closures, skyrocketing costs of fuel and fertilizers, and impacts from trade wars. @GavinNewsom stop this bill!
Just In:
CA Legislative Analyst's Office releases initial response to Gov. Newsom's final proposed state spending plan.
@LAO_CA says California's structural money problem is officially here and the state is "ill-prepared" if revenues slip:
