@gisellechez #MPPA I agree with creating guidelines on how renters can begin to pay the accumulating rent payments. Another option might be rent forgiveness but this might not be entirely politically feasible.

Mayor Steinberg released his plans on how to utilize the$89 million stimulus funding. There is $20 million allocated for the City's Homeless and Rapid Re-Housing plan. Tiny homes are at the forefront for building permanent affordable housing. #MPPA

#MPPA Part of inclusive development is ensuring that small businesses are given the tools to complete in the local economy. To ensure that local bus. have a successful rebound post COVID-19, city leaders need to create hyperlocal support systems. https://t.co/YJRBVYpKsS

#MPPA #CBA Illinois' Gov. Pritzker signed an exec. order to require health insurance co. to cover tele-medicine by in-network providers at the same rate as in-person visits. What are some long-term benefits in creating a system for digital consultations?https://t.co/LUasDSI5hU

#CBA #MPPA What are some costs and benefits to broadening the scope of practice for nurses?

[Gaby @gabrball]

Rural counties in California are attentive as there are limited resources and medical practitioners. The DCA temporarily expanded the scope of practice for nurse practitioners. Could this become a long-term alternative to the shortage of physicians?#MPPA

@lemar_sean You bring up great arguments. @itsamyjx shared an article on how some states are moving voting to a cloud-based platform. Being able to cast your vote online was once a far reach strategy. Now, due to the pandemic we might see the first steps to implementation this Nov.#MPPA

[Gaby @gabrball]

@itsamyjx A benefit is for those who have access to a secure WiFi can vote from their home! LA County is now sending all registered voters a vote-by-mail ballot for the Nov. election. This can be a second alternative rather than building capacity for "online elections." #MPPA

[Gaby @gabrball]

On the note of rural counties, what are some unintended consequences from the Stay at Home Order? For Tehama County it means cancelling their annual rodeo that generates $4-7 million for their local economy. There is 1 positive case in the 65,000 pop.#MPPA https://t.co/Ym8p8Hsar2

@CuellarPolicy Interesting view on how pilot programs can bring benefit to the users but can also harm the users once the pilot ends. Good read to understand when conducting a CBA to account of all the benfits and costs of a pilot. #MPPA

@Skvue_MPPA I can't help but think how much or little outreach was done in the rest of the region. It seems there was a language barrier. A way to ensure everyone has equal opportunity, the city should put in better measures to communicate and reach underserved neighborhoods. #MPPA

[Bacteria Bear with a view @BacteriaBear]

Yes, I have self-quarantined for the good of all Californians. Now, go wash your hands!

@gisellechez @itsamyjx Senator Mitchell helped draft legislation on what is now the Crown Act. It bans discrimination on natural hair including braids, afros, and twists. The policy is an example of how legislation can protect girls of color in school. #MPPA

[Gaby @gabrball]

@RaiSareena Interesting article Sareena. It makes me wonder what are the short falls? Do we need more community-based outreach to inform families? Or what is going on politically that might turn people away from getting these services? #MPPA

https://t.co/PqFr0PFbBF Due to the lack of oversight of water basins, this has affected water reservoirs for future use. As a result of this negative externality, the Central Valley now has growing solar panel farms. This route may target the state’s climate change goals. #MPPA

[Gaby @gabrball]

@Skvue_MPPA I believe telemedicine is an effective way to reach the elder population who live in rural areas. The Texas Medical Board should reconsider there policy due to the geographic nature and access to clinics. #MPPA

[Gaby @gabrball]

@gisellechez I think adding barriers to separate bike lanes might be an effective solution but there is the cost to consider too. #MPPA

[Gaby @gabrball]

A school district in Rhode Island declined a charitable contribution to the school's student lunch debt because it is "unfair." Could implementing a charitable tax deduction encourage people to help alleviate the national student lunch debt problem? #MPPA https://t.co/XVVETBHx4y

[Gaby @gabrball]

Recent headlines show that schools are 'lunch-shaming' students due to accumulated lunch debt. Is this an equity issue as kids are being shamed based off their parents' inability to pay? #MPPA https://t.co/2JzXWtQQAe
