Senate Republicans push for more in school reopening plan

Students and parents may believe they are a step closer to returning to in-person instruction with the passage of the Governor’s reopening plan (Assembly Bill 86), but they are not. Nothing in the bill actually requires schools to reopen, but it merely incentivizes them to do so. “With the same stroke of his pen that closed the schools a year ago, the governor could have reopened them months ago. He did not,” said Senate Republican Leader Scott Wilk (R-Santa Clarita). “I support providing incentives for reopening schools. We should be doing all we can to get kids back in the classroom, but make no mistake, unless reopening is required, most California students will finish out the school year in their living rooms glued to a computer screen.”

Governor joins Senate Republicans to provide economic relief for small businesses

Small businesses are receiving a helping hand as portions of the legislative measure authored by Republican Senator Andreas Borgeas (R-Fresno) are incorporated into the state budget. Senator Borgeas and members of the California State Senate Republican Caucus, who are coauthors of this bipartisan measure, have been pushing the Governor and Legislative Democrats to provide additional help to California’s devastated small business community. In a win for Republicans and bipartisanship, Democrats agreed to include some of the proposals from Senator Borgeas’ Senate Bill 74, which would provide more than $2 billion in immediate economic relief for struggling small businesses and non-profits. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Senate Republicans have advocated for more immediate economic relief for job creators and remained committed to strengthening opportunities for small businesses.

Bay Area Reporter :: Political Notes: Record number of CA Dem lawmakers dinged on 2020 LGBTQ scorecard

A record number of California Democratic lawmakers were dinged on the 2020 legislative scorecard released by a statewide LGBTQ advocacy organization. Thirty-three Democrats in the state Legislature failed to receive perfect scores last year due to not casting yes votes for LGBTQ bills. It is the highest number of Democratic legislators falling below a 100% score since 2006. That year, 22 Democrats in the statehouse earned less than perfect scores due to not voting in support of LGBTQ legislation. Equality California posted its 2020 scorecard to its website Friday, January 15, prior to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. EQCA also tweeted out a link to the scorecard that day along with a number of tweets praising various lawmakers who earned perfect scores, among them Assemblyman Chad Meyes (I-Yucca Valley), who left the Republican Party a year ago this month.
