TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE AND FELLOW
MEMBER FROM SOUTH LOS ANGELES
FOR INTRODUCING A CR 52, WHICH
RECOGNIZES APRIL 4TH AS THE 55TH
ANNIVERSARY OF DR MARTIN LUTHER
KING JUNIOR'S ASSASSINATION. HIS
ASSASSINATION LEFT A DEEP AND
LONG LASTING IMPACT ON AMERICA
THROUGH HIS ACTIVISM AND
ADVOCACY, AS WELL AS HIS RADICAL
VISION OF A JUST SOCIETY FREE
FROM RACISM, MILITARY ISM AND
POVERTY. BLACK AMERICA MOURNED
DOCTOR KING WITH GRIEF. ANGER
HOPELESSNESS AND A RANGE OF
EMOTIONS. THE HONORABLE WILLIE
BROWN NOTED AT OUR MOST RECENT
MLK DELIC DAY CELEBRATION THAT
THE LOSS OF DR KING WAS A
TREMENDOUS LOSS OF LEVERAGE.
WHEN DEALING WITH THE ISSUES OF
THE DAY. NO LONGER COULD THEY
BRING IN DR KING AS THE
HEAVYWEIGHT JUST THE MENTION OF
HIS NAME WOULD BREAK UP
BLOCKADES AND NEGOTIATING
PROCESS PROGRESS. HERE'S AN
ASSASSINATION ALTERED THE LIVES
AND PSYCHOLOGY OF BLACK PEOPLE
AND ARGUABLY CONTINUES TO IMPACT
OUR COMMUNITY TODAY. DR KING HAS
REMAINED THE MOST WIDELY KNOWN
AFRICAN AMERICAN LEADER OF HIS
ERA. AND THE MOST PUBLIC FACE OF
THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, ALONG
WITH ITS MOST ELOQUENT VOICE. WE
WILL CONTINUE TO HONOR HIM. FOR
ALL THE SACRIFICES HE MADE AND
HIS LEGACY LIVES ON FOREVER. I
URGE EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THIS
BODY TO SUPPORT A CR 52. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, MISS WILSON. AND
A SEVEN MEMBER WALDRON
RECOGNIZED ON THE MEASURE. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. DR
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR ONCE SAID
LIFE'S MOST PERSISTENT AND
URGENT QUESTION IS WHAT ARE YOU
DOING FOR OTHERS? AS WE HEAD
HOME TO OUR DISTRICTS THIS
WEEKEND. MY HOPE IS THAT WE WILL
ALL SPEND A FEW MINUTES
REFLECTING ON THIS BRIEF YET
IMPORTANT QUESTION. IN
RECOGNITION OF DR KING'S
INCREDIBLE LEGACY OF SERVICE. WE
REMEMBER HIM TODAY ON THE 55TH
ANNIVERSARY OF HIS ASSESS THE
NATION AND APPROPRIATE WAY TO
HONOR DR KING IS TO SERVICE AND
VOLUNTEERING IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
DR KING DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO
ADVANCING EQUALITY, SOCIAL
JUSTICE AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
FOR ALL HE CHALLENGED US TO
BUILD A MORE PERFECT UNION AND
TAUGHT US THAT EVERYONE HAS A
ROLE TO PLAY. SO TODAY ON THE
55TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS DEATH. I
ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO THINK ABOUT
THE INCREDIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS
DOCTOR KING MADE TO SOCIETY AND
THE FOUNDATION HE BUILT FOR
GENERATIONS TO COME. I WOULD
LIKE TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING THIS RESOLUTION FORWARD
AND URGE AND I VOTE ON A CR 52.
THANK YOU, MISS WALDRON. AND
SOME MEMBER JACKSON, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED ON THE MEASURE. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. MR SPEAKER. I
RISE TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE LGBT Q
CAUCUS. AND SUPPORT OF A CR 52.
55 YEARS AGO, WE LOST A GIANT IN
THE FIGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS. WHO
SPARKED A REVOLUTION. WHOSE
LEGACY IS ACTION IN THE NAME OF
JUSTICE. THE FIGHT FOR CIVIL
RIGHTS AND THE L G B T Q. RIGHTS
ARE NOT SEPARATE ISSUES BUT
INTERCONNECTED STRUGGLES. FOR
EQUALITY AND JUSTICE. HIS LEGACY
SHOULD BE CELEBRATED AS A
CHAMPION OF HUMAN RIGHTS. AND
THE FIGHT FOR EQUAL TREATMENT
UNDER THE LAW. DR KING LEAD BY
EXAMPLE, STANDING TALL. IN THE
FACE OF HATEFUL ANTI BLACK ANTI
FREEDOM, ANTI MARGINALIZATION.
AND CHALLENGE THOSE WHO OPPOSED
EQUALITY AT EVERY TURN. HE WAS
BRAVE, EVEN WHEN THE GOALS
SEEMED IMPOSSIBLE. DR KING'S
LEGACY IS STILL FELT TODAY AS WE
INVOKE HIS NAME. AND TRY TO
FULFILL HIS DREAM OF EQUITY AND
EQUALITY FOR ALL. AND WE MUST
CONTINUE TO FIGHT. FOR JUSTICE
AND EQUALITY FOR ALL PEOPLE. L G
B T Q INDIVIDUALS AND ALLIES. WE
MUST CONTINUE ADVOCATING FOR
PROGRESS AND STANDING UP AGAINST
DISCRIMINATION AND INJUSTICE
WHEREVER WE SEE IT. I IMPLORED
NOT ONLY THE MEMBERS OF THIS
BODY, BUT EVERYONE WATCHING
TODAY TO HEARKEN THE WORDS OF DR
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. WHO SAID.
LET US BE DISSATISFIED UNTIL
AMERICA WILL NO LONGER HAVE HIGH
BLOOD PRESSURE OF CREEDS. AND IN
ANEMIA OF DEEDS. LET US BE
DISSATISFIED. UNTIL THE TRAGIC
WALLS THAT SEPARATE THE OUTER
CITY OF WEALTH AND COMFORT. FROM
THE INNER CITY OF POVERTY AND
DESPAIR. SHALL BE CRUSHED BY THE
BATTERING RAMS OF THE FIRES OF
JUSTICE. LET US BE DISSATISFIED
UNTIL THEY WHO LIVE ON THE
OUTSKIRTS OF HOPE ARE BROUGHT
INTO THE METROPOLIS OF DAILY
SECURITY. LET US BE DISSATISFIED
UNTIL SLUMS ARE CAST INTO THE
JUNK HEAP OF HISTORY. AND EVERY
FAMILY WILL LIVE IN A DECENT
SANITARY HOME. AND LET US BE
DISSATISFIED. UNTIL THE DARK
YESTERDAYS OF SEGREGATED SCHOOLS
WILL BE TRANSFORMED INTO THE
BRIGHT TOMORROWS OF QUALITY
INTEGRATED EDUCATION. I
RESPECTFULLY URGE YOUR I VOTE ON
A CR 52. THANK YOU, DR JACKSON.
AND SOME MEMBER LOWENTHAL YOU
RECOGNIZED ON THE RESOLUTION.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I RISE
TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE JEWISH
CAUCUS TO ENSURE THE REMARKABLE
LIFE AND LEGACY OF DR MARTIN
LUTHER KING JR AND TO JOIN IN
COMMEMORATION OF HIS LIFE. AND
THE INJUSTICE OF HIS DEATH. THE
JEWISH CAUCUS IS UNSPEAKABLY
PROUD TO STAND WITH SO MANY
OTHER COMMUNITIES AND
RECOGNIZING DR KING AS ONE OF
THE GREATEST AMERICANS OF ANY
GENERATION. DR KING HAS ALWAYS
OCCUPIED A SPECIAL PLACE IN THE
HEARTS AND MINDS OF AMERICAN
JEWS. FOR MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY
DOCTOR KING WAS THE LIVING
EMBODIMENT OF THE QUEST FOR
FREEDOM, HUMAN DIGNITY AND
JUSTICE THAT ARE THE CENTRAL
FOCUS OF JEWISH TRADITION.
INDEED FEW IMAGES INSPIRE US AS
MUCH AS IS AS MUCH PRIDE IN THE
JEWISH COMMUNITY AS THE ICONIC
IMAGE OF RABBI ABRAHAM JOSHUA
HESCHEL. THE MOST REVERED RABBI
OF HIS GENERATION. MARCHING ARM
IN ARM WITH DR KING ACROSS THE
EDMUND PETTUS BRIDGE IN MARCH,
1965 AFTERWARDS IN THE WORDS
THAT WERE QUOTED BY PRESIDENT
OBAMA HALF A CENTURY LATER.
ROBERT HESCHEL REFLECTED THAT
WHEN MARK MARCHING WITH DR KING
, HE FELT THAT HIS LEGS WERE
ACTUALLY PRAYING. THAT SAME YEAR
, THE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE
HONORED DR KING WITH ITS
PRESTIGIOUS AMERICAN LIBERTIES
MEDALLION IN RECOGNITION OF HIS
EFFORTS TO ADVANCE CIVIL RIGHTS
AND SOCIAL JUSTICE FOR ALL
AMERICANS. DR KING WAS ALSO A
GREAT FRIEND AND ALLY TO THE
JEWISH COMMUNITY IN OUR OWN
STRUGGLES. HE SPOKE OUT
POWERFULLY AGAINST ANTI SEMITISM
IN DEFENSE OF THE STATE OF
ISRAEL AND FOR HUMAN RIGHTS OF
PERSECUTED JEWS IN THE SOVIET
UNION. THE GLOBAL JEWISH
COMMUNITIES. TREMENDOUS
AFFECTION FOR DR KING IS PERHAPS
BEST EVIDENCE IN JERUSALEM,
WHERE EACH DAY THOUSANDS WALKED
DOWN A BOULEVARD NAMED IN HIS
HONOR. IN A CITY WHERE THE
STREETS ARE NAMED FOR THE
GREATEST PROFITS OF ANCIENT
ISRAEL. THE JEWISH PEOPLE CHOSE
TO HONOR AMERICA'S GREAT PROFIT
OF FREEDOM, EQUALITY AND
JUSTICE. JUST 55. YEARS AGO, OUR
NATION LOST A PROFIT AT THE
HANDS OF INTOLERANCE. 55 YEARS
AGO. THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN JEWS
JOINED MEMORIALS MARCH FOR
JUSTICE AND ATTENDED DR KING'S
FUNERAL. TODAY WE STILL MOURN
THAT LOSS TOGETHER. AND WE
TURNED TO EACH OTHER TO FIND
STRENGTH TO CONTINUE DR KING'S
WORK AND ALL OUR WORK IN THE
NAME OF JUSTICE AND EQUALITY. IN
THAT SPIRIT AND ON BEHALF OF THE
JEWISH CAUCUS. I RESPECTFULLY
URGE SUPPORT FOR THIS
RESOLUTION. THANK YOU, MR
LOWENTHAL. AND ASSEMBLYWOMAN
CERVANTES, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON
THE RESOLUTION. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS STARE RISE
IN SUPPORT OF H OF ASSEMBLY
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 52 ON
BEHALF OF THE LATINO CAUCUS, AS
WELL AS THE NATIVE AMERICAN
CAUCUS. THANK OUR COLLEAGUE FROM
LOS ANGELES FOR BRINGING FORTH
THIS RESOLUTION. TODAY WE
COMMEMORATE THE 55 5TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE ASSASSINATION
OF DR MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
THAT MEANS THAT WE MOURN OUR
COLLECTIVE LOSS OF ONE OF THE
GREATEST HEROES IN THE HISTORY
OF THE UNITED STATES. DR. KING
IS REVERED AS THE CIVIL RIGHTS
PIONEER AND THE CHAMPION OF
BLACK AMERICANS, BUT HE WAS ALSO
AN ADVOCATE FOR THE RIGHTS OF
LATINO AMERICANS, AND LATER IN
HIS LIFE AGAINST BOTH POVERTY
AND THE VIETNAM WAR. AND YES,
WHEN DR KING WAS TAKEN FROM US
ON THAT APRIL EVENING IN MEMPHIS
, A MAN LOST HIS OWN LIFE. AND
HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY LOST A
LOVED ONE. HOWEVER WE MUST ALSO
RECOGNIZE THE NEED TO MOURN THE
LOSS EXPERIENCED BY OURSELVES BY
THE UNITED STATES AND FOR THE
CAUSE OF JUSTICE EVERYWHERE. YES
DR. KING WAS HUMAN, JUST LIKE WE
ARE. HE WAS FLAWED. HE WAS
IMPERFECT. YET IT WAS THAT VERY
HUMANITY THAT HELPED MAKE DR
KING THE MORAL LEADER THAT HE
WAS. ONE CANNOT HELP BUT WONDER
WHAT DR KING WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
AND DONE WITH THE MORAL CRISIS
THAT OUR NATION FACED IN THE
DECADES AFTER HIS DEATH.
CONTINUED DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY, THE
NEGLECTFUL LACK OF RESPONSE TO
THE AIDS PANDEMIC. WATERGATE AND
THE LOSS OF FAITH IN OUR
NATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, THE
SCAPEGOATING OF IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITIES, ESPECIALLY IN THE
PASSAGE OF PROP 1 87 AND
GOVERNOR PETE WILSON'S
FEARMONGERING CAMPAIGN AGAINST
THE LATINO COMMUNITY IN
CALIFORNIA. OR THE MISSING
MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN WHO
ARE MURDERED BY MUCH HIGHER
RATES THAN ANY OTHER ETHNIC
GROUP IN THE UNITED STATES.
WHILE WE REMAIN THANKFUL THAT WE
ARE BLESSED ENOUGH DO YOU HAVE
DR KING AMONG US? THIS GUIDING
LIGHT IS A SEARCH FOR SOCIAL
JUSTICE. WE CANNOT HELP BUT
REMEMBER THAT OUR WORLD WAS MADE
DARKER WHEN HE WAS TAKEN FROM US
TOO EARLY. COLLEAGUES FOR THESE
VERY REASONS I RISE. IN
SOLIDARITY WITH THE MANY OTHER
CAUCUSES AND ASKING FOR YOUR I
VOTE ON THIS IMPORTANT
RESOLUTION. THANK YOU, MR
MONTES. AND LEADER GALLAGHER.
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE
RESOLUTION. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER MEMBERS AND I ALSO RISE
IN SUPPORT OF THE RESOLUTION. AS
WE COMMEMORATE THE AMAZING LIFE
AND THE UNJUST DEATH. MARTIN
LUTHER KING JR. VERY FEW PEOPLE.
SPECIAL PEOPLE THAT COME TO US
THAT HELP US RISE ABOVE. THE
CHAOS. OF OUR TIME. AND CALL US
ALL TO A BETTER WAY. CALL US UP.
HIGHER TO A BETTER WAY, AND
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR WAS SUCH A
MAN. THE CHAOS OF THAT TIME.
DRIVEN BY HIS CHRISTIAN FAITH.
HE CALLED US ALL TO A BETTER
WAY. AND WE FIND OURSELVES IN
SIMILAR TIMES, CHAOS AND
DIVISION. AND THAT EXAMPLE. IS
THE ONE THAT WE SHOULD FOLLOW.
AS WE TRY TO DO JUSTICE AS WE
TRY TO MEET OUR MOTTO OF PASSING
JUST LAWS. FOR THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THAT WE GO TO THAT
HIGHER, HIGHER PLANE. THAT
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR CALLED US
TO AND SO I THINK IT IS. SO, UM
PERFECT THAT WE RECOGNIZE THIS
TODAY AS THE EXAMPLE THAT THAT
WE ALL SHOULD FOLLOW. AND SO I
THINK, MY COLLEAGUE FROM LOS
ANGELES FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD TODAY AND ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT FOR THIS RESOLUTION.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR
GALLAGHER. AND SEEING NO OTHER
MEMBERS WISHING MR BRIAN, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU ARISE IN
SUPPORT OF A CR 52 AS I THINK WE
ALL OF A SUDDEN FEEL, BUT I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
ALSO REFLECT ON WHY HE WAS
ASSASSINATED. FIGHTING FOR
WORKERS' RIGHTS. FIGHTING FOR
UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME.
ORGANIZING. THE ENTIRE COUNTRY
TO SUPPORT VOTING RIGHTS. THESE
ARE THE THINGS THAT GOT HIM
ASSASSINATED. SO IF WE'RE GOING
TO REFLECT ON THAT LEGACY, I
THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT
THIS BODY REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE
THE POWER TO CARRY THAT LEGACY
ON IN OUR WORK, AND I WANT TO
THANK MY COLLEAGUE. FROM SOUTH L
, A SOUTH CENTRAL LOS ANGELES
FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD
RESPECTFULLY ASK DR Ó. THANK
YOU, MR BRIAN. AND IF THERE ARE
NO OTHER MEMBERS WISHING TO
SPEAK ON THE RESOLUTION, MR
JONES SAWYER, YOU MAY CLOSE AND

DEATH OF DR MARTIN LUTHER KING.
EVEN THOUGH HIS LIFE WAS CUT
SHORT. EVEN THOUGH THAT LIGHT
THAT WAS INSIDE OF HIM. WAS
EXTINGUISHED. LET'S CONTINUE TO
HAVE THAT LIGHT IN EACH OF US.
TO CONTINUE THE LEGACY FOR WHAT
HE STOOD FOR. BECAUSE THAT WILL
BURN MUCH LONGER. THAN ANYTHING
ELSE. IF WE TRULY WANT TO.
COMMEMORATED LEGACY. THEN WE'VE
GOT TO CONTINUE. HIS DREAM. I

STUDENTS. NOW THIS IS ALREADY A
STANDARD AND MANY STUDENTS ARE
ALREADY LEARNING CURSIVE, BUT
MANY ARE NOT. NOW YOU MIGHT
THINK IN A BUSY PACKED SCHOOL
DAY. WHY WOULD WE WANT TO INSIST
ON CURSIVE WRITING? AS A TEACHER
FOR 30 YEARS. THERE'S A LOT OF
RESEARCH THAT SHOWS THAT CURSIVE
HANDWRITING ENHANCES A CHILD'S
BRAIN DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING
MEMORIZATION AND IMPROVES FINE
MOTOR SKILLS, BUT MORE THAN THAT
MANY HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS ARE
INDEED WRITTEN IN CURSIVE
WRITING. FAMOUS DIARIES ARE
WRITTEN IN CURSIVE WRITING. AND
FAMILY HISTORY. MANY LETTERS
FROM OUR FAMILIES ARE WRITTEN IN
CURSIVE WRITING. THIS EFFORT IS
TO MAKE SURE THERE'S EQUITY.
MANY OF OUR PRIVATE SCHOOLS
TEACH CURSIVE WRITING. AND FOR
ME, I WANT THE BALANCE THAT ALL
OF OUR STUDENTS CAN ACCESS
HISTORICAL INFORMATION. WITH
THAT? I ASKED FOR YOUR I VOTE.
THANK YOU, MR QUIRK-SILVA. AND
SEEING NO MEMBERS WISHING TO
DISCUSS THIS BILL CLERK WILL
OPEN THE ROLE. ALL THOSE VOTES
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE
VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL
THOSE VOTES. WHO DESIRE TO VOTE.

REMEMBER, GARCIA, YOU MAY OPEN
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
COLLEAGUES TO ADDRESS THE SEVERE
AND STRUCTURAL PHYSICIAN
SHORTAGE AND LACK OF CULTURAL
AND JURISTIC COMPETENCY WITHIN
OUR PHYSICIANS. GOVERNOR GRAY
DAVIS SIGNED A BILL A B 10 45 BY
LATE MARCO FIREBALL INTO LAW TO
ENSURE THAT WE HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE DOCTORS AND
DENTISTS PRACTICE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. SINCE THEN, WE'VE
ONLY HAD TWO DOZEN OR MORE
DOCTORS HAVE THE ABILITY TO
PRACTICE HERE IN CALIFORNIA DUE
TO IMMIGRATION INCONSISTENCIES
TO GETTING RESIDENCY PERMITS,
AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE TIMING
TO BE ABLE TO GET MEDICAL BOARD
APPROVAL TO PRACTICE HERE. THIS
BILL LOOKS TO ENSURE THAT WE
ALIGN THOSE EFFORTS AND GIVES
THE CALIFORNIA MEDICAL BOARD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO APPROVE. THE
LICENSES FOR THOSE DOCTORS TO
PRACTICE HERE AND ALLOW THAT
DOCUMENT TO A PATH TO ENSURE
THAT THEY GET THE LEGAL
RESIDENCY TO COME PRACTICE HERE
. I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT HOW
SIGNIFICANTLY IMPORTANT THIS
PROGRAM IS FOR MANY COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THAT NEED THE
CULTURALLY COMPETENT DOCTORS TO
PRACTICE IN THOSE COMMUNITIES.
THERE ARE SIX DOCTORS THAT ARE
READY TO GO IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY TODAY, AND WE'RE EXCITED
TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT THIS BILL
FORWARD. THIS GOES TO SHOW YOU
THAT THE WORK THAT IS DONE BY
THE FOLKS THAT COME BEFORE US IS
SO CRITICALLY IMPORTANT IN
HIGHLIGHTING THE WORK OF MARCO
FIREBALL, LONGTIME CHAIR OF THE
LATINO CAUCUS, AND I ALSO JUST
WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THE WORK OF
OUR èC FELLOW FABIOLA RAIOLA'S
WHO ACTUALLY HAS BEEN WORKING ON
THIS BILL. AND MANY OF THESE
DOCTORS WILL BE GOING BACK TO
HER COMMUNITY TO SERVE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU, MR GARCIA. AND SEEING
NO MEMBERS WISHING TO BE
RECOGNIZED ON THIS, BILL CLARK
WILL OPEN THE ROLE. THIS BOAT
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE ALL THOSE
VOTES. DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE
VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. CLERK
WILL CLOSE ROLL CALORIE VOTES. I
76 NO ZERO ON THE URGENCY ON I
76 NO. ZERO ON THE MEASURE BILLS
PASSED. EXCESSES FILE ITEM 103
BY MS PELLERIN 89 69 CLERK WILL
READ BUILT 9 69 BY ASSUMING
MEMBER PELLERIN AND OTHERS AND
APPALACHIAN TWO ELECTIONS.
PELLERIN, YOU MAY OPEN THANK
YOU. AND JANUARY OF THIS YEAR,
THE SHASTA COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS TERMINATED THEIR
VOTING SYSTEM CONTRACT. AND LEFT
THEIR COUNTY WITHOUT A STATE
CERTIFIED, BARELY QUALIFIED
VOTING SYSTEM. AND NOW WE ARE
JUST 11 MONTHS AWAY FROM A
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY ELECTION.
BECAUSE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
HAS NOT APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH
A NEW VOTING SYSTEM VENDOR THEY
HAVE HAD ALLOCATED MILLIONS OF
TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO PAY FOR
SEVEN NEW EMPLOYEES TO ASSIST
THE COUNTY SWITCH TO A MANUAL
BALLOT TALLYING SYSTEM. MEMBERS.
I SPENT ALMOST THREE DECADES AS
THE CHIEF ELECTIONS OFFICIAL FOR
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY AND I CANNOT
STRESS ENOUGH THAT CONDUCTING AN
ELECTION IS VERY, VERY HARD.
RUNNING AN ELECTION WITHOUT A
VOTING SYSTEM BORDERS ON
IMPOSSIBLE. MANUAL TELLING HAS
BEEN PROVEN TO BE LESS ACCURATE
AND MARKEDLY SLOWER THAN ANY
CERTIFIED VOTING SYSTEM APPROVED
IN CALIFORNIA. AND IN THE CASE
OF SHASTA COUNTY, THE CHIEF
FISCAL OFFICER OF THE COUNTY IS
ESTIMATING THAT IT WILL COST AT
LEAST $3 MILLION TO HIRE 1500
BALLOT COUNTERS TO HAND COUNT
VOTES IN A COUNTY WITH 100 AND
12,000 VOTERS. A VOTING SYSTEM,
WHICH INCLUDES THE ELECTRONIC
VOTING HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE,
SUCH AS VOTING MACHINES AND
TABULATE EAR'S CANNOT BE USED IN
CALIFORNIA ELECTION UNLESS IT
HAS BEEN BOTH FEDERALLY
QUALIFIED AND CERTIFIED BY THE
CALIFORNIA SECRETARY OF STATE.
THESE VOTING SYSTEMS AND THEIR
CONTRACTS ARE EXPENSIVE AND NOT
EASILY INSTATED OR CHANGED. FOR
INSTANCE, IN MY DISTRICT, THE
COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA HAS AN
ANNUAL LEASE PAYMENT OF $1.7
MILLION. HASTILY TERMINATED
VOTING SYSTEM CONTRACTS RESULT
IN HIGH COSTS AND UNCERTAINTIES
CONCERNING HOW ELECTIONS
OFFICIALS WILL RUN THEIR
UPCOMING ELECTIONS. A B 969
STATES THAT IN ORDER TO
TERMINATE AN EXISTING VOTING
SYSTEM CONTRACT. THEY MUST HAVE
A REPLACEMENT CONTRACT IN PLACE
AND READY TO GO SO THE
TRANSITION WOULD BE SEAMLESS.
THIS SIMPLE LANGUAGE ENSURES
THAT COUNTY ELECTIONS OFFICIALS
WILL KNOW WHAT VOTING SYSTEM
THEY WILL BE USING WELL IN
ADVANCE OF THEIR UPCOMING
ELECTIONS AND WILL HELP MINIMIZE
THE DISRUPTIVE NATURE OF
TRANSITIONING FROM ONE VOTING
SYSTEM TO ANOTHER. THIS BILL
ALSO ENSURES THAT THERE WILL BE
A VOTING SYSTEM IN PLACE, SO
VOTERS ARE NOT DISENFRANCHISE.
TO BE CLEAR. THIS BILL DOES NOT
PREVENT A COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS FROM DECIDING TO
TERMINATE A VOTING SYSTEM
CONTRACT. IT SIMPLY REQUIRES
THAT THEY MUST HAVE A
REPLACEMENT SYSTEM READY TO GO.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
VOTE. THANK YOU, MR PELLERIN.
AND SEEING NO MEMBERS WERE
SAYING TO DISCUSS THIS. BILL
CLARK WILL OPEN THE ROLE. ALL
THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE.

OF RIGHTS HERE IN THE STATE OF

HERE IN SACRAMENTO. THERE ARE
FOSTER YOUTH. THAT I CALL
CALIFORNIA'S PROMISE. THAT IS
BEING HELD IN A DETENTION

PROMISE THAT OUR HOUSE RIGHT
HERE IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY IN
THIS DETENTION CENTER. THIS
VIOLATES THIS VIOLATES THE WORK
THAT I CHAMPION IN 2019 BY
UPDATING THE FALSE FOR YOUTH
BILL OF RIGHTS. AS A MATTER OF
FACT, SIX POINTS IN THE FOSTER
YOUTH BILL OF RIGHTS HAVE NOW
BEEN VIOLATED BY THE COUNTY OF
SACRAMENTO. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE
AND GO AGAINST THE FOSTER CARE
SYSTEM. AND SO WITH THAT AGAIN,
I THINK MY COLLEAGUE FROM
FULLERTON FROM STRENGTHENING THE
FALSE YOUTH BILL OF RIGHTS AND
ELEVATING THE VOICES OF FOSTER
YOUTH, AND I URGE MY COLLEAGUES
