California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivers the 2021 State of the State speech from Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA. CREDIT: Screenshot
Standing on the field at Dodger Stadium, California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered the 2021 State of the State speech. Like most political speeches, it was long on rhetoric, and either ignored completely or glossed over challenging issues. Fortunately for Californians, who are weary of his long, coronavirus press conferences, the speech lasted less than 30 minutes. In that time, though, he was able to fit in a few whoppers and ignore at least two of the biggest failures of the first half of his term: the state’s inability to keep the power on during heat waves or wind storms, and the disastrous condition of the state’s Employment Development Department, which administers unemployment benefits.

A bipartisan pair of senators are unveiling legislation today that would make companies pay more for oil and gas leases on federal lands, a day after the Biden administration began a comprehensive study of whether and how the U.S. sells those rights, Kellie Lunney reports.
Sens. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) are releasing the âFair Returns for Public Lands Act,â which would increase fees that oil and gas companies pay to lease onshore, including raising the royalty rate to 18.75% from the current 12.5% rate. The bill, which is companion legislation to a Democratic House bill, also would increase the rental rate for such leases and the national minimum bid per acre.
