California’s Politicians No Longer Work for the People

California’s politicians no longer work for the people – not the Governor, not state Senators and not State Assembly members. They work against the people, refusing to pass or enforce laws that make our lives better.

Look around you – you see drug addicted vagrants living in parks, on city streets, along rivers and bike trails. You see brazen retail theft when you shop at Target, Macy’s, your neighborhood pharmacy, and convenience stores. You see dangerous highways and daily car crashes. You see run-down, failing public schools.

Do you feel safe in your neighborhood park? Do you feel safe in the parking lot at your grocery store? Is it safe for your child to walk to school?

Can you afford the home or apartment you are renting? How about your PG&E, SCE or SDGE electric and gas bills? How about filling your car with gas – too expensive for a full tank? What about those grocery bills that have more than doubled? And if you have growing kids, you can’t scrimp on food.

What are California’s politicians doing about any of this?

They are passing legislation to restore news media access to California prisons to the level it was in the 1990s, before the state restricted access. (SB 254 by Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley)

They are removing the sunset on the small employer family leave mediation program to make it permanent. (AB 2011 by Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer Kahan, D-Orinda)

Protecting abortion clinics by increasing penalties for harassing patients seeking abortions as well as abortion doctors and nurses. (AB 2099 by Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer Kahan, D-Orinda)

They banned Plastic Bags. (SB 1053 by Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer Kahan, D-Orinda)

They passed a bill to authorize a three-year pilot program in the county of San Diego for preventative pelvic floor and core conditioning group exercises within the six to twelve-week postpartum window to help birthing people rebuild their pelvic floor after pregnancy. (AB 2756 by Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner, D-San Diego)

Bill to authorize pharmacists to continue furnishing COVID-19 oral therapeutics to patients who test positive for SARS-CoV-2, without a prior prescription, until January 1, 2025. (AB 1341 by Assemblyman Marc Berman, D-Palo Alto)

They passed a bill to expand what is covered on the firearm safety certificate test to ensure that potential firearm purchases are aware of the risks associated with owning and bringing a firearm into the home. (AB 1598 by Assemblyman Marc Berman, D-Palo Alto)

They passed a bill that removes the ability of California courts to require a juvenile criminal to pay victim restitution, to pay for any crime, or to pay $250 fine to be deposited in the county treasury, or to participate in uncompensated work programs. Instead the new law requires the minor to make amends by participating in a restorative justice program, performing community service, or participating in an educational, employment, youth development, or mental health program. (AB 1186, by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, D – Oakland)

They passed the Menstrual Equity for All bill, which “Ensures menstrual products are readily available in California prisons.” (AB 1810 by Assemblyman Issac Bryan, D-Culver City)

California media isn’t reporting on these new laws because they are actually harmful or injurious to average Californians. And none of these bills do nothing to help the average California family feel safer, or help pay their exorbitant bills.
