MEMBERS. MEMBERS YESTERDAY WE
HONORED MOST OF OUR RETIRING
MEMBERS, BUT WE HAVE ONE MORE
THAT WE LEFT FOR TODAY ARE LAST
HONORARY SPEAKER PRO TEM KEVIN
MULLIN. YOU KNOW, OVER THE
COURSE OF THE PAST 16 17 DECADES
, THIS ROOM HAS SEEN A LOT OF
INCREDIBLE HISTORIC MOMENTS OVER
THE COURSE OF THE PAST DECADE.
MY CLASS THE CLASS OF 2012 THE
CLASSIC KEVIN AND I BELONG TO I
HAVE SEEN SOME UNBELIEVABLE AND
REMARKABLE MOMENTS FROM OUR
CLIMATE CHANGE EFFORTS TO OUR
EFFORTS AROUND FARMWORKER
OVERTIME, MINIMUM WAGE M C O
TAX. SO MUCH OF OUR EFFORTS
AROUND CRIMINAL JUSTICE. AND
IT'S BEEN A RINGSIDE SEAT AT THE
CIRCUS FOR ALL OF US, UH, BUT
FOR KEVIN, IT'S BEEN SOMETHING
ELSE FOR KEVIN. HE HAS BEEN IN
THE CENTER OF IT ALL MAKING SURE
THAT THESE DEBATES, WHICH ARE SO
OFTEN CONTENTIOUS AND FRAUGHT
WITH A LOT OF EMOTION ARE
CONDUCTED IN A MANNER THAT IS
RESPECTFUL TO ALL AND ALLOWS
EVERYBODY TO BE HEARD. I WAS
TOLD THIS STORY BEFORE, BUT I
WAS HOME JUST ONCE. I'VE MISSED
ONE SESSION DURING MY 10 YEARS
HERE WAS HOME WITH A FEVER AND
WATCHING THE ASSEMBLY ON AH,
ONLINE AND I REMEMBER SORT OF
CLOSING MY EYES AND LISTENING TO
KEVIN PRESIDE. AND WHAT'S
AMAZING ABOUT LISTENING TO KEVIN
PRESIDE IS, UM, NOT AS MUCH.
WHAT HE SAYS, IS WHAT HE DOESN'T
SAY. IT'S SOME SOME OF THE
SILENCE THAT HE ALLOWS AFTER
THERE'S A GREAT FLOOR SPEECH,
KEVIN WILL BE QUIET JUST FOR AN
EXTRA MOMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYBODY TAKES IT IN. HE
PROVIDES THAT CONTEXT AFTER
THERE'S A HUGE VOTE. KEVIN WILL
JUST SOMETIMES WAIT AND LOOK
AROUND AND MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYBODY APPRECIATES THAT
MOMENT. IT REMINDS ME OF.
STANLEY SADIA MUSIC WRITER SAID.
MOZART WROTE NOTES. BUT HE ALSO
POSSESSED THE SILENCE BETWEEN
THE NOTES. AND THAT'S WHAT KEVIN
DOES HE POSSESSES. THE SILENCE
ALLOWS ALL OF US TO INHABIT THAT
SILENCE, AND HE INHABITS THAT
SILENCE WITH GREAT MEANING WITH
PROFOUND MEANING. I'VE WATCHED
OTHER LEGISLATURES. I WATCHED A
LOT OF LEGISLATURES PEOPLE WHO
PERFORM THIS TASK ARE OFTEN IN
SORT OF SHOW OFF MODE. DON'T
ALLOW THE WORK OF THE BODY TO
SPEAK FOR ITSELF. KEVIN NEVER
GOES ABOVE THE WORK. KEVIN
RESPECTS THE HOUSE. HE RESPECTS
THE WORK OF ALL OF US. AND HE
RESPECTS THE WORK OF DEMOCRACY.
THAT'S WHAT HE DOES HERE, AND
THAT'S WHY HE WILL BE INCREDIBLY
MESSED. HE HAS BECOME THE FACE
OF THIS HOUSE. THE VOICE OF THIS
HOUSE. REMEMBER MY SISTER
WALKING ON THE FLOOR AND SEEING
KEVIN IS INSANE. THAT'S THE GUY
WHO'S TOTALLY FAMOUS. UM HE HAS
FRAMED SO MANY OF THE ISSUES
THAT FOR US ARE IMPORTANT AND
MEANINGFUL. HE'S WORKED CLOSELY
WITH A SERIES OF MAJORITY
LEADERS FROM THE MANUEL PEREZ TO
CHRIS HOLDEN TO IAN CALDERON TO
OUR MOST RECENT MAJORITY. LEADER
ELOISE REYES, AND EACH OF THEM
HAS BENEFITED FROM HIS GUIDANCE
. AND IT'S COLLEGIALITY. UM, ON
A PERSONAL NOTE. IT WAS A YEAR
AGO. 50 WEEKS AGO. MY MOM DIED
ON SEPTEMBER 2ND AND ALL OF YOU
WERE INCREDIBLY SYMPATHETIC. UM
NO ONE WAS MORE EMPATHETIC THAN
KEVIN. THERE WAS THIS MOMENT
WHEN WE WERE IN MY OFFICE. UM
AND HE DID IN MY OFFICE. WHAT?
HE DID WHAT HE DOES HERE ON THE
FLOOR, HE USED HIS SILENCE TO BE
MEANINGFUL. EVERYBODY WALKED OUT
OF MY OFFICE AFTER A PRE SESSION
MEETING AND KEVIN JUST SAT THERE
NEXT TO ME, AND HE WAS QUIET.
AND WE CRIED FOR A GOOD FIVE
MINUTES WITHOUT SAYING A WORD.
AND IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL, VERY
HUMAN MOMENT. THAT ONLY BE
SHARED WITH SOMEONE, ESPECIALLY
AT HIS EMPATHETIC AS KEVIN
MULLIN. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT,
KEVIN. UM MR TING, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED FOR THE PURPOSE OF
DELIVERY. YOUR REMARKS
CONTRIBUTE TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER
KEVIN MULLIN. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. IT'S AN HONOR TO
DELIVER REMARKS AND RECOGNIZE MY
GOOD FRIEND KEVIN MULLIN. WE'RE
IN THE SAME CLASS TOGETHER. I
WAS THINKING WAS SOMEWHAT ABOUT
JOYFUL BUT SAD DAY FOR ME BEING
IN THE CLASS OF 2012 AND HEARING
ABOUT SO MANY OF OUR COLLEAGUES
WHO ARE MOVING ON AND RETIRING,
GOING ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER
THINGS. WE KNOW THERE ARE GREAT
THINGS IN STORE FOR YOU. SO
PROUD OF YOU AND SO HAPPY FOR
YOU. I REMEMBER THE VERY FIRST
TIME WE MET AND THAT THAT'S WHY
I GO BACK TO AND I REMEMBER YOU
CAN TELL A LOT ABOUT A PERSON.
FROM THEIR PARENTS. AND KEVIN
AND HIS DAD MET WITH ME AT THE
BOULEVARD CAFE AND DALY CITY,
WHICH IS THE REGULAR SPOT WHERE
PEOPLE GO WHEN THEY ONLY SPOTS
AND UM THERE IS A TIME WHEN I
WAS WE WERE BOTH RUNNING. KEVIN
HAD IN IN TYPICAL FASHION HAD
ALREADY CLEARED THE FIELD DIDN'T
HAVE ANY COMPETITION. HE WAS
POSTED HIS WAY TO THE ASSEMBLY.
I WAS IN A LITTLE BIT TOUGHER
RACE AND MET WITH HIM AND HIS
DAD AND I JUST REMEMBER THINKING
IN TERMS OF JUST BOTH OF YOU HOW
I COULDN'T HAVE MET TO NICER
PEOPLE TO MORE HONORABLE PEOPLE
INTO MORE. GENUINE PEOPLE. SO
REALLY EXEMPLIFIED TO ME THE
BEST OF WHAT PUBLIC OFFICIALS
ARE ABOUT. THAT YOU CARRY
YOURSELF WITH THIS INCREDIBLE
HONOR. AND THAT YOU CONSTANTLY
ARE REPRESENTING. NOT ONLY YOUR
CITY, YOUR DISTRICT COUNTY BUT
REALLY ALL THE PEOPLE OTHER
PEOPLE AROUND YOU. WE KEVIN
DURANT DISTRICT IS DIRECTLY TO
THE SOUTH OF MINE, SO WE WORK ON
A LOT OF ISSUES TOGETHER. UM IN
PARTICULAR, KEVIN HAS BEEN AN
INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE ADVOCATE
FOR TRANSPORTATION. WE SHARE A
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AROUND
CALTRAIN AND MAKING SURE THAT UH
, WE'RE TRYING TO GET MORE
PEOPLE OUT OF CARS INTO TRANSIT.
BUT KEVIN ALSO TACKLED A MAJOR
UNDERTAKING WITH ONE OF OUR
BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS. THE
WIDENING OF OUR 101 FREEWAY,
DEFINITELY IN SAN MATEO, AND
THAT THOSE ARE VERY CHALLENGING
ISSUES. THOSE ARE THOSE ARE
ISSUES THAT YOU CANNOT DO IN ONE
YEAR. YOU DON'T GET TO TACKLE IN
ACCOMPLISH OVERNIGHT. SO HERE'S
COMPLETE FOCUS HIS DETERMINATION
TO REALLY MAKE SURE THAT HE IS
WORKING ON THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE
FOR HIS DISTRICT HAS BEEN JUST
STEADFAST, BUT I REMEMBER
REMEMBER WHEN KEVIN FIRST GOT TO
BE SPEAKER PRO TEM. I MEAN, THAT
WAS VERY MUCH WHAT HE WAS
FOCUSED ON. THIS IS THIS IS A
JOB THAT WHEN HE GOT HERE, THIS
IS THE JOB THAT HE WANTED. AND
HE TOOK IT SO SERIOUSLY, AND I
THINK OUR SPEAKER TALKED ABOUT
WHAT WE SEE IN TERMS OF WHAT HE
DELIVERS TO ALL OF US AND HOW
WELL HE JUST RUNS OUR HOUSE. BUT
BEHIND THAT IS ALL THIS HARD
WORK. HE I REMEMBER WHEN HE WAS
FIRST APPOINTED. HE WAS TELLING
ME HE WAS GOING BACK. AND
WATCHING YEARS AND YEARS AND
YEARS OF TAPE. GOING BACK. MANY
MANY SESSIONS MANY MANY SPEAKER
PROTESTS. HE WANTED TO SEE HOW
THEY ALL DID IT. HOW PEOPLE
PRESIDED. NOT JUST NOT JUST FOR
OUR HOUSE, BUT FOR THE
INSTITUTION. BECAUSE THIS IS
THIS IS WHAT HE FELT LIKE WE
DESERVED. HE'S OUR FACE AND HE
REPRESENTS US WHEN PEOPLE ARE
WATCHING US. AND BOY DOES HE
REPRESENT THE BEST OF US, AND
THERE'S THIS LEVEL OF PRIESTS OF
PRESENTATION. I THINK WE ALL
THINK THAT HE'S NATURALLY GIFTED
. WE ALL THINK THAT BOY HE'S
JUST THIS IS JUST YOU KNOW WHAT
HE'S MEANT TO DO, AND LIKE
EVERYBODY IN LIFE, PEOPLE WHO
ARE LIKE THAT. YOU UNDERSTAND?
THEY'RE SPENDING HOURS AND HOURS
AND HOURS OF PREPARATION TO MAKE
IT LOOK ABSOLUTELY EASY, AND
THAT'S WHAT HE DOES. THE ISSUE
RIGHT NOW ACROSS OUR COUNTRY,
WHICH IS INCREDIBLY SAD TO SAY.
IS WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE GOING TO
REMAIN A DEMOCRACY. I MEAN, IT'S
KIND OF SHOCKING TO EVEN SAY
THAT IN A DEMOCRATIC
INSTITUTION, BUT WHETHER WE'RE
GOING TO REMAIN A DEMOCRACY
WHETHER WE ARE GOING TO ALLOW
AUTHORITARIANISM TO TAKE OVER
OUR COUNTRY. LIKE IT'S TAKEN
OVER SO MANY OTHER COUNTRIES.
AND THAT HAS TO BE KEVIN'S
NUMBER ONE ISSUE. IF YOU LOOK AT
HIS SINGULAR FOCUS ON VOTING
CHAMPION VOTING RIGHTS CHAMPION
OUR DEMOCRACY, MAKING SURE THAT
WE ARE FIGHTING TO HAVE EVERY
SINGLE AMERICAN'S VOICE COUNT.
WHICH IS WHY WE ALL LIVE IN THIS
COUNTRY. IT'S WHY WE DON'T LIVE.
IN ANOTHER COUNTRY WHERE MAYBE
WE COULD PROSPER AND HAVE WEALTH
, BUT WE WOULD LOSE MANY OF OUR
RIGHTS. AND KEVIN'S FIGHT FOR
OUR DEMOCRACY. IT'S GONNA BE SO
IMPORTANT WHEN YOU GO TO DC AND
REPRESENT YOUR DISTRICT THAT I
CAN'T IMAGINE A BETTER VOICE. OR
A MORE. AGGRESSIVE VOICE ON THAT
PARTICULAR ISSUE. UM I'M GOING
TO PERSONALLY. PERSONALLY MISS
YOU. IT'S LIKE I SAID, IT'S SAD
TO SEE ONLY THE COLLEAGUES I
CAME IN WITH, UH, TO LEAVE, BUT
I'M SO PROUD OF THE WORK THAT
YOU'VE DONE THAT THE WORK THAT
WE'VE DONE NOT JUST FOR OUR
DISTRICTS BEFORE THE ENTIRE
STATE. I MEAN, I THINK WE CAN
REALLY SAY 10. YEARS LATER, THE
STATES AND SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER
SHAPE THAN WHEN WE GOT HERE IN
2012, KEVIN GODSPEED. WE'RE
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN
D. C. AND LOOKING FORWARD TO
MANY, MANY GREAT YEARS TO COME.
THANK YOU, MR TING. MR BERMAN,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED AT YOUR DESK
CAREER REMARKS. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. KEVIN. ASSEMBLY SPEAKER
PRO TEM MULLEN. CUT MASTER KEVIN
KEV. NO MATTER WHICH OF THE MANY
NAMES YOU USED TO IDENTIFY MY
DEAR FRIEND FROM AND COLLEAGUE
FROM SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO. THE
REACTION FROM THE PEOPLE YOU'RE
TALKING TO IS GUARANTEED TO BE
THE SAME. A BIG SMILE, A WARM
NOD. DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN
ELECTED OFFICIAL STAFF.
ACTIVISTS OR LOBBYIST. KEVIN IS
ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED PEOPLE
IN THIS BUILDING. MAYBE IT'S THE
MELODIOUS WAY HE PRESIDES OVER
FLOOR SESSION. ALL MEMBERS VOTE
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL MEMBERS
VOTE WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. OR
MAYBE IT'S HIS DEMEANOR AS HE
LEADS US THROUGH. MARATHON FLOOR
SESSIONS. IT'S AS IF MR ROGERS
WAS WATCHING OVER US, ENSURING
WE CONDUCTED OUR BUSINESS AND A
KIND AND RESPECTFUL MANNER. AND
THAT WE ALWAYS ATE OUR
VEGETABLES. EVERY ELECTED
OFFICIAL STARTS OUT THEIR CAREER
WITH AN UNTAPPED WELL OF
PATIENTS ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE
CRAZIEST OF COMMENTS. WITH A
STRAIGHT FACE AND AN
UNDERSTANDING NOD. HIDING THE
UNFILTERED THOUGHTS THAT ARE
RUNNING THROUGH THEIR MINDS.
KEVIN IS ONE OF THE FEW ELECTED
OFFICIALS I KNOW WHO THROUGH TWO
DECADES OF PUBLIC SERVICE HAS
MANAGED TO MAINTAIN THAT STOIC
POKER FACE. BUT DON'T BE
DECEIVED. THE HONEST THOUGHTS
ARE THERE AND EVERY SO OFTEN
WHILE HE'S PRESIDING OVER
SESSION, HE'LL LET THEM SNEAK
OUT. UNLIKE SOME OF HIS
COLLEAGUES, INCLUDING YOURS
TRULY SOMETIMES KEVIN WILL STILL
BE RESPECTFUL. IN FACT, HIS
COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS DELIVERED IN
A TOTALLY DEADPAN MANNER AND ARE
USUALLY BOTH SHARP AND
HILARIOUS. THE CHAMBER WILL
UNEXPECTEDLY ERUPT IN LAUGHTER.
COLLEAGUES WHO AREN'T PAYING
ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY REALIZED
THEY MISSED A RARE CUT MASTER
QUIT. TURNING TO OTHERS TO ASK
WHAT HE SAY. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN
IT WILL HAPPEN. YOU JUST KNOW
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT. UM
KEVIN, YOU'RE YOU'RE YOU'RE
REALLY ONE OF THE GOOD ONES. UH
SOMEONE WHO I HAVE LOOKED UP TO
BOTH FIGURATIVELY AND LITERALLY
, SINCE LONG BEFORE I BECAME
YOUR COLLEAGUE. UM YOU KNOW, WE
WENT TO A BASEBALL GAME. I THINK
LAST YEAR WITH A FORMER POLICE
CHIEF FROM FROM A CITY IN SAN
MATEO COUNTY AND LOCAL ELECTED
OFFICIAL IN CEMETERY COUNTY, AND
IT WAS SO FUN WATCHING THE THREE
OF THEM. THREE PEOPLE WHO GREW
UP IN SAN MATEO COUNTY, WHICH
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW IT, AND
I KNOW A LOT OF FOLKS DON'T AS
WELL AS THEY SHOULD IS REALLY
SMALL TOWN, CALIFORNIA IT'S A
LOT OF SMALL TOWNS KIND OF PIECE
TOGETHER WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE.
WHO GREW UP THERE AND STILL LIVE
THERE, WHICH IS ALSO RARE IN
SILICON VALLEY. UM AND HEARING
THEM TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENT
PEOPLE THAT THEY GREW UP WITH.
AND ALSO REMEMBER THAT GUY HE
WAS REALLY GOOD AT BASEBALL. OH,
AND HIS SISTER WAS SO SMART AT
THIS, YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE
KNOWING THE PERSONAL, THE KIND
OF GRANULAR LEVEL THAT HE KNOWS
HIS COMMUNITY AND HE KNOWS THE
FAMILIES IN HIS COMMUNITY. AND
THEY ALL KNOW HIM. UM AND YOU DO
A SUCH A GOOD JOB REPRESENTING
SAN MATEO COUNTY. UM YOUR LOVE
FOR YOUR FAMILY. YOUR WIFE,
JESSICA AND YOUR TWIN BOYS, LIAM
AND LANDON, YOUR LOVE FOR THE
HISTORY OF THIS INSTITUTION. THE
ASSEMBLY, UH, YOUR LOVE FOR
CALIFORNIA AND, AS WAS VERY,
VERY ELOQUENTLY SPOKEN TO YOUR
LOVE OF DEMOCRACY. UM AND HOW
IMPORTANT THAT'S GOING TO BE
WHEN YOU GO WHEN YOU GO TO
CONGRESS, THE COUNTRY NEEDS MORE
LEADERS LIKE YOU. CONGRESS
DESPERATELY NEEDS MORE LEADERS
LIKE YOU WERE ALSO GRATEFUL THAT
YOU'LL BE MOVING ON TO BIGGER
THINGS. EVEN THOUGH WE'RE GOING
TO MISS YOU. AH AH! AH AND ONE
LAST TIME. ALL MEMBERS VOTE WHO
DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL MEMBERS VOTE
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. THANK YOU,
MR BERMAN. I NOW RECOGNIZE
MAJORITY LEADER REYES AT HER
DESK FOR HER REMARKS. SOMEONE
ELSE IS IN CONTROL. KEVIN. OH
KEVIN, I'M SO HONORED TO SPEAK
IN RECOGNITION OF OUR ASSEMBLY
SPEAKER PRO TEM KEVIN MULLIN,
WHO HAS SERVED IN THE ASSEMBLY
SINCE 2012 AND WAS SWORN IN AS
SPEAKER, PRO TEM DECEMBER OF
2014. I MET KEVIN WHEN I WAS
ELECTED IN 2016, AND I'VE HAD
THE PLEASURE OF WORKING CLOSELY
WITH HIM, ESPECIALLY NOW AS PART
OF THE LEADERSHIP TEAM OVER THE
LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I GREATLY
ADMIRE HIS ABILITY TO MAKING
MAINTAIN CONTROL, AS HAS ALREADY
BEEN TALKED ABOUT. THE CONTROL
IN THIS HOUSE. AND YOU DO IT IN
A WAY THAT NOBODY ELSE CAN.
WHICH LIKE. THANK YOU FOR YOU
STOLE MY THUNDER. I THINK PART
OF THAT IS ATTRIBUTED TO THE
GREAT RELATIONSHIP HE'S
DEVELOPED OVER THE YEARS WITH
ALL OF US. IT'S A VERY SPECIAL
RELATIONSHIP. KEVIN IS WELL
RESPECTED BY HIS COLLEAGUES ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE. HE'S
DIGNIFIED IS MEASURED,
THOUGHTFUL, MAKES FUN. HE IS
FUN. DURING HIS TENURE IN THE
ASSEMBLY HAS LEGISLATION HAS
INCLUDED LAWS TO EXPOSE DARK
MONEY IN POLITICS. AND IMPLEMENT
AN ALL MALE BALLOT. PILOT
ELECTION IN SAN MATEO COUNTY,
WHICH RESULTED IN RECORD
BREAKING VOTER TURNOUT. HE'S
ALSO KNOWN FOR EXPANDING VOTER
RIGHTS AND ACCESS, FIGHTING,
CLIMATE CHANGE AND GUARDING
AGAINST SEA LEVEL RISE,
IMPROVING TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE AND IMPROVING
ACCESS TO SERVICES FOR THE DEAF
AND HARD OF HEARING. HE'S ALSO
WORKED TO EXPAND ACCESS TO
QUALITY, AFFORDABLE CHILD CARE.
AS A PRESIDING OFFICER IS
TREATED EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US
WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT. HE'S
RECOGNIZED US. GIVEN US TIME TO
STATE OUR POSITION AND PROTECTED
OUR TIME TO SPEAK. AS OUR
SPEAKER PRO TEM, HE HAS
DEMONSTRATED HIS DISTINCT
ABILITY TO KEEP A LARGE GROUP
UNDER CONTROL. AND THAT IS
LIKELY DUE TO HIS SKILL. THAT HE
DEVELOPED DURING HIS DAYS AS A
DJ. YES. ASK HIM ALL ABOUT IT.
AND AS MY COLLEAGUE INDICATED
HIS NAME WAS HIS DJ NAME WAS
CUT. MASTER KEVIN KEV. IT'S
WORTH NOTING THAT NO OTHER
SPEAKER PRO TEM HAS A SONG LIKE
THE CALL OF KEVIN MULLIN. IT
GOES VIRAL EVERY YEAR AT THE END
OF SESSION, AND WE'RE ALL
FAMILIAR WITH THE CHORUS. ALL
MEMBERS VOTE WHO DESIRE TO VOTE
ALL MEMBERS VOTE WHO DESIRE TO
VOTE? KEVIN IS ALWAYS PREPARED.
POISED AND HAS MASTERED THE
HOUSE RULES AND PARLIAMENTARY
PROCEDURES. IN A WAY VERY FEW
PEOPLE HAVE HIS POCKET SQUARES,
MAYBE SOCIAL MEDIA LEGENDS, BUT
MORE IMPORTANTLY, HE HAS ALWAYS
TALKED ABOUT MAKING CALIFORNIA
BETTER SAVING OUR DEMOCRACY. NOT
JUST ABOUT LEAVING A LEGACY BUT
ABOUT IMPROVING THE LIVES OF
OTHERS. HE IS THE EPITOME OF A
PUBLIC SERVANT. NOW IF YOU WANT
TO SEE SOME GOOD TIKTOK'S I
RECOMMEND THAT YOU GO TO KEVIN
MULLIN FOR CONGRESS. THEY'RE THE
BEST THEY REALLY ARE. AND I DO
RECOMMEND THAT YOU GO TO THOSE
NOW BECAUSE OF HIS DJ YEARS, MY
STAFF AND SOME OF HIS FORMER
STAFF HAD A FEW REPS. AND I KNOW
I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THAT THE
SAME WAY THAT THEY TRY TO TELL
ME SMULLEN AS ONE OF THE MOST
MEMORABLE MEMBERS OF THE
ASSEMBLY. THE MOST REVERED
PERSON, WHOEVER RESTED ON THE
REST ROSTRUM. THE GREATEST
GENTLEMAN TO GRAB THE GAVEL OF
THE GREEN CARPET. AND THE MOST
SKILLED SPEAKER PRO TEM OF THIS
CENTURY. KEVIN HAS BEEN A 200 TO
SERVE WITH YOU. WE'RE GOING TO
MISS YOU. BUT CONGRESS IS GOING
TO REALLY ENJOY HAVING YOU THEIR
BEST OF LUCK. ONE MORE SORRY,
KEVIN. FINALLY THE DEMOCRATIC
CAUCUS CHAIR. MIKE GIBSON IS
RECOGNIZED THAT HIS DESK FOR HIS
REMARKS THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. I'M HONORED
ONE TO LEND. MY VOICE IS WITH
THOSE WHO ALREADY SPOKEN
REGARDING OUR SPEAKER PRO TEM
KEVIN MULLIN. KEVIN MULLIN WAS
APPOINTED SPEAKER PRO TEM BY OUR
SPEAKER, ANTHONY RENDON. AND I
WAS HERE TO BE PART OF THAT, UH
, SPEAKER PRO TEM MULLEN ALSO
SERVED AS THE MAYOR AND THE CITY
COUNCIL MEMBER OF SOUTH SAN
FRANCISCO. AH, I'VE HOW I
DESCRIBE THIS GIANT. HE'S A
GREAT LEADER. IS A HARD WORKING
MAN. A MAN WHO IS SLOW TO ANGER.
BUT FIRM IN HIS DECISIONS. AND
EVEN TEMPERED MAN. A FAIR MAN.
AND A HUMBLE MAN. I WOULD SIMPLY
SAY THAT THE FOUNDATION WAS
LAID. BYE. JEANNE MULLEN. THAT
YOU FOLLOW. HIS FATHER AND WE
KNOW LAST YEAR. HE TRANSITIONED.
I BELIEVE THAT HE'S LOOKING DOWN
FROM HEAVEN WITH A BIG SMILE AND
SAYING THAT HOW PROUD HE IS OF
HIS SON. A MAN THAT RECOGNIZE.
THIS AND THIS IS WHAT MY
CHARACTERIZATION OF KEVIN
MULLIN. THE PRESSURES OF LIFE.
ARE TO DEVELOP YOU. BUT NOT TO
BREAK YOU. MEMBERS DURING THE
TIME IN THE LEGISLATURE CONTINUE
TO SERVE WITH GREAT LEADERS
THAT'S ON THIS FLOOR AND IN THE
NEXT IN THE OTHER HOUSE. MANY
GREAT LEADERS, SUCH AS THE ONE
THAT WE'RE HONORING TODAY. BUT
FOR HIS SERVICE AND HIS VALOR
ITS PRESENCE AND ITS POISE. FOR
HIS QUIET CONFIDENCE. AND HIS
GENTLE SPIRIT OF COLLEGIALITY.
MR MULLEN, YOU ARE ONE OF THE
GREATS AMONG US. IN THIS HOUSE.
AS A LEGISLATIVE BODY. WE WILL
HAVE A GREAT A GREAT GRATITUDE.
GREAT DEBT OF GRATITUDE. BUT
YOUR SERVICE AS SPEAKER PRO TEM
WHO HAVE LED THIS POWERFUL BODY.
THERE IS NONE. LIKE THIS BODY.
IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
AS CALIFORNIA'S WE ARE GRATEFUL
FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THE AREAS
OF VOTING RIGHTS BECAUSE VOTING
RIGHTS IS CIVIL RIGHTS. AND WE
THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE THANK YOU
FOR THE AUTOMATIC VOTING
TECHNOLOGY AND ALSO CAMPAIGN
DISCLOSURES. AND SO MANY MORE
THAT THE HISTORY BOOKS OF
CALIFORNIA WILL CHRONICLE YOUR
WORK. THAT WILL SPEAK FOR
GENERATIONS TO COME BECAUSE
KEVIN MULLIN PASSED THIS WAY. AS
I CLOSE. I WAS TRYING TO THINK
OF SOMETHING QUOTE THAT WILL
AMPLIFY AND EXEMPLIFIED THIS
GREAT LEADER KEVIN MULLIN. SO I
FOUND ONE. LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT
MAKING OTHERS BETTER AS A RESULT
OF YOUR PRESENCE AND MAKING SURE
THAT IMPACTS LAST IN YOUR
ABSENCE. SO AS YOU GO TO
CONGRESS YOU WILL LEAVE A
RESIDUE IN THIS BODY. ON THIS
FLOOR THAT FOR GENERATIONS TO
COME, WILL FOLLOW. CALIFORNIA IS
A BETTER PLACE BECAUSE KEVIN
MULLIN PASSED THIS WAY. THANK

26TH AS WOMEN'S EQUALITY DAY. I
GUESS. 26 MARKS THE 100TH SECOND
ANNIVERSARY OF THE 19TH
AMENDMENT, WHICH GRANTED WOMEN
THE RIGHT TO VOTE NATIONALLY.
THIS WAS NOT AN EASY BATTLE, AND
I CAN'T HELP BUT REFLECT ON ALL
THE WOMEN WHO CAME BEFORE US WHO
FOUGHT AND SACRIFICED ENSURE
WOMEN HAD EQUAL RIGHTS. WOMEN'S
LIKE ELIZABETH CADY STANTON AND
LOOKS KRISHA MÀ, WHO CALLED THE
FIRST WOMAN'S RIGHTS CONVENTION
IN JULY. 19TH 18 48 TO AN EQUAL
RIGHTS FOR WOMEN AND EXPAND THE
ROLE OF WOMEN IN SOCIETY. I
DON'T BE WEALTH AND ALICE, WHO
LED THE PASSAGE OF THE 19TH
AMENDMENT. AND HERE IN OUR OWN
LEGISLATIVE BODIES GRACE, DORIS
ESTÁ, BRITAIN AND A SAILOR
ELIZABETH HUGHES, WHO WERE THE
FIRST WOMAN LEGISLATORS ELECTED
IN 1918 TO THE STATE ASSEMBLY.
DESPITE THE MANY EFFORTS OF
POLICYMAKERS AND ADVOCATES
TOWARDS ENSURING EQUALITY FOR
WOMEN. GENDER INEQUALITY
PERSISTS IN MANY AREAS. AS
EVIDENCED BY THE ONGOING
STRUGGLE FOR FAIR PAY AND EQUAL
JOB OPPORTUNITIES. JOB TRAINING
OPPORTUNITIES. ACCESS TO
CHILDCARE, FAMILY FRIENDLY
WORKPLACES AND AGAINST POVERTY.
DESPITE IMPORTANT STEPS TO
ACHIEVE EQUAL ACCESS IN THE
WORKPLACE AND EQUAL ACCESS TO
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. WOMEN
FACE BARRIERS IN EDUCATION AND
EMPLOYMENT THAT ARE NOT
EXPERIENCED AT THE SAME
MAGNITUDE BY MEN. WOMEN HAVE
COME SO FAR SINCE 1920. BUT WE
HAVE MUCH MORE TO DO AND MUCH
MORE TO ACCOMPLISH, AND I LOOK
FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT OUR
FUTURE WOMEN LEADERS WILL DO
HERE IN THE IN THIS BODY AND
ACROSS THE STATE. PART OF THAT
CHANGE WILL COME BY GREATER
NUMBERS OF WOMEN EXERCISING THE
RIGHT TO VOTE AND HOPEFULLY
DECIDING TO RUN FOR PUBLIC
OFFICE. CURRENTLY THERE ARE 39
WOMEN IN THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATURE. THAT'S THE LARGEST
CAUCUS HAS EVER BEEN. BUT IT'S

THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS OF SB 11 07 BY SENATOR
DODD WILL HELP PROTECT
CALIFORNIA DRIVER'S INJURED IN A
CAR CRASH BY MODERNIZING
CALIFORNIA'S OUTDATED MINIMUM
AUTO LIABILITY COVERAGE LIMITS.
WHILE EVERY STATE IN THE COUNTRY
REQUIRES DRIVERS TO PURCHASE
AUTO INSURANCE IN ORDER TO
PROVIDE PROTECTION, CALIFORNIA
HAS FALLEN DANGEROUSLY BEHIND IN
PROTECTING OUR CITIZENS 55 YEARS
AGO, THAT'S A 1957, CALIFORNIA
SAID. MANDATORY AUTO INSURANCE
LIABILITY MINIMUMS AT 15,004
SINGLE INJURY, DEATH OR DEATH
30,000 FOR INJURY TO OR DEATH OF
MORE THAN ONE PERSON. AND THE
$5000 PROPERTY DAMAGE LIMIT.
THESE LIABILITY LIMITS HAVE NOT
BEEN ADJUSTED SINCE SINCE
LEAVING OUR STATE AS ONE OF THE
LOWEST LEVELS OF PROTECTION IN
THE NATION. IN 1967, THE COST OF
A NEW FORD MUSTANG WAS $2200
TODAY AND NEW MUSTANG COST AND
ACCESS OF 35,000 IN 1967, A DAY
IN THE HOSPITAL WOULD HAVE COST
$92 A DAY. WHILE TODAY THE
MINIMUM HOSPITAL STAY IS OVER
$3700 PER DAY, A DRIVER MUST BE
CAPABLE OF PROVIDING THE
COMPENSATION NECESSARY TO MAKE
AN INJURED PARTY WHOLE AGAIN. SB

RESPONSIBILITY LIMITS TO 30,000
FOR A SINGLE INJURY OR DEATH
60,000 FOR INJURY OR DEATH TO
MORE. BEEN ONE PERSON AND 15,000
FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
INSURANCE ESTIMATES THE COST OF
THIS BILL WILL INCREASE THE
AVERAGE INSURANCE POLICY ABOUT
45 TO $50 PER YEAR. THAT'S
EQUIVALENT TO $4.50 A MONTH. WE
MUST WEIGH THE COSTS AGAINST
BENEFITS AND WHEN YOU CONSIDER
THE HIGH COST OF VEHICLE REPAIR
, MEDICAL EXPENSES, LOST WAGES
AND OTHER FALLOUT FROM VEHICLE
COLLISIONS AND THE SMALL
ADDITIONAL COST. FROM SB 11 07
ARE WORTH THE ADDITIONAL
PROTECTION. NEARLY ALL

THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. MEMBERS
LAST YEAR'S BUDGET BILL
APPROPRIATED $20 MILLION TO
PILOT A PRESCRIBED FIRE CLAIMS
FUND. HOWEVER ADDITIONAL ACTION
IS NEEDED TO ALLOW THOSE CLAIMS
TO BE MADE. IT HAS. PART OF THE
PROBLEM IS THAT THERE'S A LACK
OF INSURANCE FOR PRESCRIBED FIRE
PROFESSIONALS, AND THEREFORE
IT'S BEEN VERY HARD TO FIND
THOSE PROFESSIONALS TO OVERSEE
THESE PRESCRIBED BURNS.
PRESCRIBED FIRES RARELY ESCAPE
THEIR PREDETERMINED BOUNDARIES.
BUT IF THEY DO, AND IF THEY
CAUSE DAMAGE THE PARTIES
INVOLVED CAN FACE LIABILITY. THE
LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR
ESTABLISHED THE CLAIMS FUND TO
HELP THESE PROFESSIONALS COVER
SOME OF THAT LIABILITY COST. UM
AND TO ENCOURAGE MORE PRIVATE
HOMEOWNERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS
TO HIRE PROFESSIONAL BURN BOSSES
TO DO PRESCRIBED FIRE BURNING.

THAT SUMMER BENNETT YOU'RE

MAY RISE A NUMBER OF TIMES IN
WHATEVER CAREER I HAVE HERE ON
THE ASSEMBLY FLOOR TO ADJOURN IN
MEMORY. UH I DOUBT I WILL EVER
RISE. WITH A MORE DIFFICULT A
JOURNEY IN MEMORY OF THEN THE
ONE I'M ABOUT TO DO NOW FOR
CARMEN RAMIREZ. I REALLY RESPECT
THIS OPPORTUNITY. OF THIS BODY.
TO BE ABLE TO REQUEST THAT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA'S ASSEMBLY.
ADJOURNED IN MEMORY OF THIS
WOMAN WHO. WAS ONE OF MY CLOSEST
FRIENDS AND CLOSEST ALLIES. THE
INTERESTING THING IS. MANY MANY
OF US IN VENTURA COUNTY WOULD
SAY THE SAME THING. ABOUT THEIR
RELATIONSHIP WITH HER. AND IT
SPEAKS TO HOW INCREDIBLE OF A
HUMAN BEING. SHE. WAS FOR ALL OF
US HOW MUCH STRENGTH SHE
BROUGHT. HOW MUCH INTEGRITY SHE
BROUGHT. BUT IT'S NO SMALL FEAT.
FOR SO MANY PEOPLE TO SAY. SHE
WAS THE MOST TRUSTED PERSON IN
VENTURA COUNTY. AND. WHEN YOU'RE
IN THE POLITICAL WORLD WHERE ALL
OF US IT'S SO EASY TO QUESTION
POLITICIANS AND THEIR MOTIVES.
IT WAS REALLY TRUE THAT HER
POLITICAL OPPONENTS, HER
POLITICAL SUPPORTERS, EVERYBODY
FELT THE SAME THING. SHE WAS THE
MOST TRUSTED PERSON. YOU NEVER
DOUBTED HER MOTIVES, AND IT MADE
HER THE MOST EFFECTIVE PERSON.
AND EFFECTIVE IN THE BEST WAY
AND THAT SHE COULD UNITE US. SHE
COULD BRING US TOGETHER. SHE
COULD CONVINCE US TO WORK FOR AN
ISSUE. AND WHEN SHE ASKED. YOU
DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT SAYING
NO. BECAUSE YOU HAD SO MUCH
CONFIDENCE IN HER. AND YOU
TRUSTED HER SO MUCH. HOW DID SHE
GET TO THAT SPOT? HOW DID
SOMEONE WHO'S 74 YEARS OLD
LATINA? IN VENTURA COUNTY. GET
TO THAT SPOT. SHE EARNED IT. SHE
SPENT. 40 YEARS AS A LAWYER.
PASSING UP. THE HIGH SALARIES
AND HIGH INCOME THAT SHE COULD
HAVE GOTTEN. TO DEVOTE 40 YEARS
TO HELPING POOR PEOPLE. 20 YEARS
AS A LEGAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND
20 YEARS RUNNING THE SELF HELP
LEGAL CENTER. AFTER 40 YEARS OF
DOING THAT, EVERYBODY IN THE
COUNTY KNEW SHE WAS REAL AND
KNEW WHAT SHE STOOD FOR. AND SO. WE WILL MISS IN VENTURA
COUNTY. WE WILL MISS HER
TERRIBLY. IT WILL TAKE US A LONG
TIME TO GET OVER HER. AND I
THINK THE BEST THING FOR ALL OF
US TO DO IN VENTURA COUNTY IS TO
REDEDICATE OURSELVES. TO THE
MISSION THAT SHE HAD FOR ALL OF
US IN VENTURA COUNTY. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH, MR CHAIR. THANK YOU.
