We considered a bill last week that allows modest CEQA exemption for electrical transmission lines. Environmentalists are getting close to killing it. How will we ever meet our states goals- housing, clean energy, VMTs - if we allow this to keep happening?digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/hearings/25800…

I can’t imagine how California could continue to exist without taxpayer funding for this.

My first media interview since becoming Vice Chair of Assembly Budget Committee; you can see the full conversation on FOX 40 tonight!

Someone needs to explain to me why Gavin Newsom is cutting $395 million from preschool programs for kids with *disabilities* (!) to fund electric school busses ($850 million). Are those our Governor’s values?

whoops! The ‘Appeal to Heaven’ flag that’s given the Alitos so much grief flew atop San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza for decades and wasn’t taken down until this past weekend.

This headline doubles as a metaphor for the entire Biden presidency.

The #CALeg Democratic supermajority killed my bill to crack down on these dangerous highway blockings. It’s only a matter of time before someone dies because of adult temper tantrums like this one on 101 in LA.

one of the few things a president could do- a real way to improve long-term price stability (oil and gasoline prices) and energy security by cutting red tape and incentivize more production. there are more roadblocks than just this, but this definitely would help.

With some of the highest taxes in the nation, it’s time voters have more of a say-and Democrat politicians have no business trying to stop them.

'They’re mostly working on price spikes. And I keep testifying that that’s not where the money is.'

Gavin Newsom isn't trying to bring down gas prices-he's trying to find someone else to blame for the price spikes that have become a political headache.

Pssst. No projects have been done from the LAST Prop 1 (2014)

I sign on to very few budget letters. But I was happy to join one signed by 50 Democrats/Republicans to protect services to those with disabilities. It’s a core govt service and this is another draconian cut. spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/ins…

The electricity people can't afford is partially supplied enitrely by renewables.

Congrats, I guess.

Most folks would just be happy to pay electric rates that aren't double the national average, but you do you.

Just watched this and you should too. It will make you sick and angry and it’s all brought to you by Gavin Newsom and the Democratic super majority. Hint: They don’t care about victims. abc10.com/article/entert…

When I lived on the streets of San Francisco for 6 months in 2018, I witnessed some things that are still difficult to talk about today. But I will try: 🧵

I woke up next to someone who died overnight from drug overdose 3 different times. Skin blue, rigor mortis, dead.

how could Sam Alito do this

If I recall correctly the whole selling point of tiny homes was that you can deploy them quickly...

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu talking shit on Gavin Newsom is the best thing I’ve seen all today.

These aren’t “protestors” at #UCLA , they’re bullies and lawbreakers that have been coddled into thinking their actions don’t have consequences.

It’s a myth when people say Republicans can’t do anything in the Capitol. I now have 16 bills in the Senate and some of them are pretty impactful. Some of them are “district bills”… but in any case, my team has worked very hard this year and let’s get some things done! 👊🏻
