“There was an attempt to undo [the monument] under the Trump administration. We couldn’t let that be taken away,” Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis (D) said at a news conference Monday announcing the bill, according to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.
In addition to expanding the monument, the bill would protect 245,000 acres on the state’s central coast and another 317,000 in Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity counties. Overall, the bill provides for nearly 600,000 acres of new wilderness, according to Padilla’s office.

RAFU STAFF REPORT
Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis urged the California Department of Public Health on Wednesday to reject a proposal submitted by Sakura Gardens Intermediate Care Facility to close the facility and move its elderly residents.
The report, titled “Transition Plan,” was submitted on March 29 by Beverly Ito, Sakura Gardens administrator, on behalf of its owners, Pacifica Companies, with a proposed effective date of June 30, 2021. It states that as of March 23, 2021, Sakura Gardens would cease to accept new admissions.
With all of that, we are at the stage where we re ready to consider the next aspect of our pandemic response Ghaly said. The road to this moment hasn t been easy. We have come together as Californians to save thousands of lives. And now we look at what is beyond that Blueprint for a Safer Economy that has been guiding California s slow, public-health-minded transition and opening of our economy. . We look to get to that end of the blueprint.
Ghaly said scrapping the blueprint which will be done statewide, regardless of where individual counties may be ranked at the time in the tier system – really means that every day activities will be allowed, and businesses can open with common-sense risk-reduction measures.
