Just hours ago President Trump announced he is dropping his efforts to include a Citizenship Question on the 2020 census due to logistics. Not legality. He also signed an executive order to implement a new plan immediately. I am hereby ordering every department and agency in the federal government to provide the department of commerce with all requested records regarding the number of citizens and noncitizens in our country. Last month the Supreme Court blocked the white house calling the rationale for the question contrived. And so the government could not move forward without a solid justification. In my view the government has ample justification to inquire about citizenship status on the census. Critics say the question would result in an undercount of immigrants. Census data helps the government decide how to use federal resources, and to draw congressional districts. I am elizabeth cook, a bill aimed at reducing the risk of wildfires is now headed to governor newsoms desk the bill passed in the assembly this morning and will create a fund to pay claims for future wildfires caused by utility equipment. Assembly bill 1054 offers two different options for utilities. One envisions a Liquidity Fund of about 10 billion for costs that exceed insurance coverage. It would be financed by a bond sale with utility ratepayers covering the cost. A second option called an insurance fund, it enlarges the pool of money to 21 billion. It combines bonds with matching contributions from utilities themselves. Cavities that choose this option would get a cap on how much they would have to pay back. But, they would have to obtain a safetys revocation before each wildfire season. Now governor gavin newsom says in a statement i want to thank the legislature for taking thoughtful and Decisive Action to move our state toward a safer, affordable, and Reliable Energy future. Provide certainty for wildfire victims and continue californias progress toward meeting our clean energy goals. Newsom was pushing for swift passage partly because Credit Rating agencies were threatening to downgrade california utilities if lawmakers failed to act.
