[Editor’s note: At the end of a sometimes tense debate yesterday, Darrell Steinberg in deliberate and reserved tones, spoke on the Senate floor, and made it clear that he will not go through the same dysfunctional budget process again without taking matters to the people--through an initiative or ballot measure placed there by the legislature. He also asked Republicans who are pressing for a continuous funding bill if they would guarantee that the programs they say they want to cut will not be on the list of cuts they are proposing. If you want to watch and listen to Steinberg's speech, go to the archives of the California Channel and fast forward to about 39 minutes into the session.] “First of all, though it doesn’t help much this year, I think this process and the frustration many of us are expressing reveals what must be done next year. We need to not only think about but begin planning for taking significant questions about state and public finance back to the people of California. And next year as your leader I intend to do that. I’m not going through this anymore. I’m tired of it. It’s unproductive. It does nothing for the way people view us. You’re right Senator Aanestad, under the current state of the Constitution; it is a two-thirds requirement to pass a state budget. And I know that question has been taken to the people in one form or another. But maybe it has not been take to the people in the right form, at the right ...
By Trent Lange President California Clean Money Action Fund As reports come in that lobbyists spent more than $143 million trying to influence legislation in Sacramento in just the first six months of this year, Californians are close to having the opportunity to vote on exploring a much-needed alternative to the way we finance election campaigns. AB 583, the California Fair Elections Act, championed by Assemblymember Hancock (D-Oakland) should be getting a vote on the Senate floor on Wednesday or Thursday after passing the Appropriations committee 9-6 on a party-line vote. AB 583 would establish a pilot project for voluntary full public financing system for Secretary of State candidates modeled after the systems that have been working in Arizona and Maine for eight years. A change is desperately needed to restore Californians’ confidence in their government. When Californians hear about the hundreds of millions spent on lobbying and the hundreds of millions more given to candidates for their campaigns, many of them become cynical and disengaged. Public Financing Would Increase Faith in Government Public financing of campaigns would change all that, because qualified candidates would have the opportunity to run their campaigns entirely with “Fair Elections” public funds instead of private contributions from special interests. Elected officials who used it would be spared the perception that big private campaign donors receive spe ...
Asks in floor debate that Republicans reveal their budget in public for a real debate By Frank D. Russo They’ve added a few steps to the Assembly version of the kabuki dance today. There was a debate about taking up the budget led by the chamber’s Republican members, in particular Todd Spitzer. But the last words of the day on the floor on the budget were spoken by Budget Committee Chair John Laird, who skewered Republicans and Spitzer on their own petard. Spitzer started off the debate on a procedural matter to bring the budget up for an immediate vote, out of its order in the file. Before his motion was defeated, this is what he said: “For the Democrats to walk off the floor and show their objection to this debate, let’s be clear. The people of the state of California deserve a budget. The state employees of California deserve much better than the minimum wage. Using the minimum wage as an attempt to get a state budget is an inappropriate way to try to get a state budget. Only a few problems with these comments. The Democrats had not left the floor and voted to defeat this bit of political theater. Spitzer, like most Republicans voted against the California minimum wage when it came up in 2006. As much as I’d like to believe that legislative Republicans have turned a new page and now care about the difficulties average Californians are having economically and all the other statements made by Spitzer about how they are struggling ...
