SACRAMENTO (CBM) – Hours after Gov. Gavin Newsom picked California Secretary of State Alex Padilla to be California’s next United States Senator, he announced that he will submit to the State Legislature the nomination of Assemblymember Dr. Shirley N. Weber (D-San Diego) to replace him.
If confirmed, Weber will become the first-ever African American to serve as Secretary of State of California.

Our members have been heavily impacted by the new regional stay at home order as a result of San Diego being included in the Southern California region.

Port of San Diego chooses ecoSPEARS clean water technology December 17, 2020, by Naida Hakirevic
As part of a two-year pilot project under the Port of San Diego’s Blue Economy Incubator, ecoSPEARS, a cleantech solutions company ushering in the carbonless future of environmental cleanup for toxic contaminants, will deploy NASA-developed technology to remove Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) from sediments in America’s Cup Harbor.
As explained, the primary goal will be to determine how much PCB mass the SPEARS technology will remove over a predetermined period.
The SPEARS technology was first deployed in the port area on December 14, 2020.
