CBRT President @roblapsley and @HJTA President @joncoupal explain how the so-called "Wealth Tax" was deliberately written to allow the Legislature to circumvent Prop. 13. Yet another example of how this is an Everyone Tax https://t.co/ZoZRSRjhh3

🚨NEWS: According to today’s IMF release and last week’s report from US Bureau of Economic Analysis, CA fell back to 5th largest economy. In addition, the updated IMF data shows California was also 5th largest in 2024 rather than the 4th largest.  More coming soon.

Assembly Bill 1157 would expand failed rent control policies and reduce housing for California's working families. We need real solutions to fix the #Affordability crisis. #NOonAB1157 #Caleg

And on nonfarm #jobs specifically: Year to date, the preliminary November numbers show California essentially stagnant, with a loss of 7,500 jobs. Since January 2024, California has grown only 14,900 jobs, while the US as a whole has expanded by 2.5 million.

"When families feel like they can’t get ahead, it’s usually because the biggest line items in their budget are out of control: housing, energy, gasoline, food, and taxes. In California, all are extreme, and, in most cases, the highest in the nation." Read @roblapsley's latest

Statement from President @roblapsley on the passing of Congressman Doug LaMalfa: “On behalf of the California Business Roundtable, I extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Congressman Doug LaMalfa. His passing is a tremendous loss for California and the nation. Doug dedicated his life to public service and was a steadfast advocate for rural communities, agriculture, and the businesses that sustain California’s economy. He brought a strong work ethic, practical perspective, and deep commitment to his constituents to every role he served. Our thoughts are with the LaMalfa family and all those mourning the loss of a respected leader and public servant.”

Congratulations to Senator Monique Limón on being sworn in as Senate President pro Tempore. We look forward to working with Pro Tem Limon and her leadership team on policies to help grow our economy and make California affordable for future generations.

[CBRT @CalRoundtable]

Non-disclosure agreements have no place in public policy debates. We are grateful for the leadership of now-Congressman @RepVinceFong and Assemblymember @AsmJoePatterson for fighting for this critically needed reform. With Governor Newsom's signing of the bill, important policy discussions will be forced into the daylight, not relegated to backrooms without public knowledge.
