@gabrball @itsamyjx This is an interesting proposal. Perhaps CA may want to run pilot programs in targeted counties to test its efficacy before expanding it. However, whether this option is vastly more accessible and as secure as the current voting system is open for debate. #MPPA #CBA

@TuckerPPA Those are key criteria! Sharing this upcoming webinar opportunity w/ anyone interested in this issue. The Council of State Govts Justice Center will be discussing their "checklist of considerations for release" next week. Check it out! https://t.co/1Gxk2FpE4p

Jails/prisons are in a very tight spot on how to safely reduce jail populations while protecting public health & safety amidst the COVID-19 crisis. What principles, guidelines, or criteria should they employ to make decisions? #CostBenefitAnalysis #mppa

@CuellarPolicy 100% agree! Even our diverse city of Sacramento is struggling with this issue. The recent breakdown of small business loan funds by Sacramento neighborhoods is appalling. The City said its a conundrum of balancing expediency and equity. #mppa

NEW: CA has 33,261 confirmed positive cases of #COVID19.

3,365 of those cases are in our hospitals. 1,241 of those cases are in the ICU.

CA is flattening the curve, but only if we continue to take this seriously. Stay home. And practice physical distancing.

The City of Sacramento recently issued $1 million in loans to local businesses, but historically underserved neighborhoods received less than 1%. Over half of the money went to those in Midtown/Downtown. #weneedinclusivedevelopment #equity #mppa

@TuckerPPA This is exciting news! Tiny homes/small scale mobility hubs is one of the three alternatives for our #MPPA 220B "Inclusive Economic Development" project. Looking forward to having this discussion with key stakeholders and our cohorts via Zoom on April 30th!

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has overruled Gov. Evers's order to delay tomorrow's in-person election, despite risk of increasing the spread of COVID-19. This means Wisconsin voters will now have to choose between their health and their right to vote because of politics. #mppa

@itsamyjx This is a tricky/difficult question for experts/policymakers as individual freedom is protected by the Constitution. However, a recent U.S. survey shows that Democrats/Republicans alike are willing to sacrifice civil liberties to confront the pandemic. https://t.co/J6njz4Y1ic

While #socialdistancing #shelteringathome have many benefits, policymakers must also confront its costs: the service disruptions of many nonprofit providers that will impact cash flow & threaten the safety net of services for those in need. #MPPA https://t.co/H1UYc0lPKK

Wondering how the CA State Legislature is going to revamp the Legislative calendar to get work done by August 31, which is the last day for each house to pass bills. Perhaps legislators could work through summer break? #mppa https://t.co/L30tkdy3it

Proud to be in Sacramento today with our @CBHA_Updates colleagues from across the state! Advocating for school based mental health services & ensuring a strong #cabehavioralhealth workforce #cbhaday20

[Simon Vue @Skvue_MPPA]

In response to the 2015 rule established by the Texas Medical Board that limited the use of telemedicine, advocates argued that this was an attempt to protect the interests of doctors. This echoes a key concept in 220A - regulatory capture. #mppa https://t.co/yoq9KsUfUL

@TuckerPPA Just recently, the Board of State and Community Corrections awarded $96 million in Prop 47 Grants to 23 local govt agencies to reduce recidivism, address juvenile justice, and delinquency prevention. https://t.co/0Dx64h6UUO

@RaiSareena Schools are an ideal setting for mental health prevention and treatment services, as children spend most of their time during the day on campus. We need to ensure that services are accessible and available to students. #mppa

[Simon Vue @Skvue_MPPA]

The use of nurse practitioners to address America's looming workforce crisis is a widely known model across the nation where 22 other states have already adopted such policy. What can CA learn from these states, and should CA revisit such proposal? #MPPA

Parents, students, and teachers in Sacramento are demanding answers to the abrupt termination of the first African American principal at Christian Brothers High School, whose spokesperson refused to provide an explanation. #MPPA #Transparency
