State Senate Approves Zero Bail Bill, Wilk Calls The Policy A Fail hometownstation.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from hometownstation.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Senate Democrats overruled the will of the voters and placed communities at risk by passing Senate Bill 262 (SB 262), which would eliminate bail for most criminal offenses. In November 2020, California voters made it clear they did not want a no-money bail system when they rejected Proposition 25. SB 262 would impose another no-money bail system by setting bail at $0 for most crimes.
“Zero bail is a FAIL. It was tested in 2020 during the pandemic and a similar policy was rejected by voters in November 2020,” said Senate Republican Leader Scott Wilk (R-Santa Clarita). “Today Democrats doubled down on an idea rejected by voters and already proven to be dangerous to our communities. Social experiments are one thing on paper, but by listening to law enforcement and crime victims, it was pretty clear these policies failed in real life.”
California State Senator Anthony Portantino discussing Senate Bill 457
SACRAMENTO A bill allowing local agencies to divest from Turkey overwhelmingly passed the California State Senate on Monday, with a vote of 35-0. Senate Bill 457, introduced by Senator Anthony J. Portantino and Senate Republican Leader Scott Wilk requires the Public Employees’ Retirement System and the State Teachers’ Retirement System Boards of Administration to allow school districts and cities to opt out of investment vehicles issued or owned by the Republic of Turkey.
“SB 457 would impose much needed economic consequences on a regime that continues to engage in an ongoing campaign of genocide denial,” stated Senator Portantino.

California Emergency Declaration
Print this article
Where water flows, food grows – or it should – but in California hundreds of thousands of acre feet of water go straight to the ocean in a wet year because Democrats have refused to prioritize the needed infrastructure for dry years. Initially, Governor Newsom only catered to his chardonnay and brie buddies this year by declaring a regional water emergency for only two wine counties in Northern California, leaving the state’s $30 billion agriculture industry high and dry.
Due to increased pressure from Senate Republicans to prioritize and include more drought-stricken counties, today the governor finally relented and added 39 more counties to that list. Fresno Republican Senator Andreas Borgeas has been leading the effort to include more counties within the drought declaration to relax regulatory restraints and allow for the transfer of water to food producers.
