California Focus: This bill could kill rooftop solar
331
If politicians wanted to kill rooftop solar energy production in California, they could not find a better vehicle than a proposed new law known as Assembly Bill 1139.
This is a brainchild of Democratic Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez of San Diego, previously best known for authoring AB 5, another destructive bill she pushed into law in 2019 only to see her legislative colleagues a year later rescind many of its onerous provisions. AB 5 was despised especially by folks it was supposed to help.
The newest Gonzalez project is – like AB 5 – a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Where AB 5 originally required companies using contract workers to convert them to regular employees who could then be unionized, AB 1139 purports to stabilize conditions for California residents installing solar panels atop their homes. ....

Thomas D. Elias: Recall fever: More than just a bear and a TV star

âAll politics is loco,â the New York Times headlined during Californiaâs 2003 recall campaign.
That never looked more true than in mid-May, when gubernatorial recall replacement candidate John Cox campaigned with a Kodiak bear to demonstrate his âbeastlyâ qualities, then complained loudly because the bear got more attention than he did.
Or when reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner, running as a âcompassionateâ right-winger, griped that seeing too many homeless drove a fellow airplane-owning neighbor at a small airport to move his plane out of state.

Thomas D. Elias: Is permanent housing the real homeless solution?

THOMAS D. ELIAS
The ultimate goal of city and county agencies trying to solve Californiaâs homeless problem is to get this transient populace into permanent housing.
But it turns out many of the homeless donât want the kind of permanent units that are becoming more available as local, state and federal governments devote ever more money to getting them off the streets.
No one knows precisely how many of the stateâs approximately 161,000 homeless prefer to keep sleeping in tents and under tarps, as about two-thirds of the California homeless do each night. But dealing with the encampments so common along sidewalks and beneath freeway bridges can often seem like playing with silly putty: When authorities squeeze encampments by shooing occupants away and cleaning up messes they leave, the camps often reappear somewhere else within days, like silly putty oozing through the gaps between a childâs fingers. ....

Thomas D. Elias: Newsom doing what he must to survive recall

THOMAS D. ELIAS
As the signatures that qualified the Gavin Newsom recall election for a statewide vote began arriving in big numbers at county recorderâs offices around California, the governor soon realized he could no longer ignore the threat.
Rather, it was time for him to speak up, and also to begin seeing this as the opportunity of a lifetime to establish a brand as a courageous, defiant Democrat who will not be intimidated.
Thatâs why just two days before the St. Patrickâs Day deadline for submitting signatures, Newsom began emailing past supporters regularly to declare he will not take the clear threat to his job and his future lying down. ....

Thomas D. Elias: New recall's similarities to the Davis dismissal | Columnists

THOMAS D. ELIAS
Almost all the usual rules of California elections are off today, as the state heads toward its second gubernatorial recall election of the last 18 years.
The list of candidates to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom will surely be interesting, but perhaps not as odd as what voters faced when they decided in 2003 who should replace then-Gov. Gray Davis. They plainly did not regret choosing movie muscleman Arnold Schwarzenegger for his most interesting role ever, reelecting him easily three years later, in 2006.
Like this yearâs will be, the timing of that election was a little weird: Oct. 7, a month earlier than normal fall elections. Then there was the post-election interaction between Schwarzenegger and Davis. Democrat Davis and the nominally Republican Schwarzenegger, whose liberal stances on items like climate change and voting rights made him unlikely ever to win his partyâs nomination in a regular primary, often acted like good buddies ....
