IT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY USE OUR
PROGRESSIVE DESIGN BUILD
AUTHORITY IN THE PILOT THAT'S

TODAY. BUT IT WOULD CERTAINLY.
XCELERATED THE DELIVERY OF THOSE

THAT'S ACTUALLY PART OF THE
AGREEMENT THE AMMO YOU THAT

RESOURCES TO USE PROGRESSIVE
DESIGN BUILD FOR CERTAIN. PUBLIC

OF AN INDUSTRY CHANGING MOMENT

MANUFACTURING AND SUSTAINABILITY
SECTORS WELL PUBLIC WORKS
CONSTRUCTION REQUIRES THE
PAYMENT OF PREVAILING WAGE AND
EMPLOYMENT APPRENTICES WE NEED A
SIMILAR OR COMPARABLE FRAMEWORK
FOR TAXPAYER FUNDED FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS IN THE
MANUFACTURING SECTOR. WE KNOW
THAT IN CALIFORNIA MOST PEOPLE
WORK OFTEN FULL TIME AND MORE
THAN ONE JOB ABOUT A THIRD OF
CALIFORNIA'S FORTY MILLION
PEOPLE LIVE IN POVERTY OR NEAR
POVERTY. THE PROBLEM ISN'T THAT
PEOPLE DON'T HAVE JOBS OR THAT
OUR HISTORIC INVESTMENTS IN
CLIMB IN TRANSPORTATION WON'T
CREATE JOBS IS THAT MORE PEOPLE
NEED ACCESS TO GOOD JOBS. AND I
STATE AS PROVEN THAT THERE'S
WAYS OF DOING THIS WE'RE
AGGRESSIVE A COMBATING CLIMATE
CHANGE USING ALL THE LEVERS
LEVERS OF GOVERNMENT TO SHAPE
MARKETS TO REDUCE CARBON. WE
WILL BE DOING THE SAME THING THE
SAME INTENTIONALITY TO FIGHTING

CO YOUR CAREERS THROUGH
PROCUREMENT AND CONTRACTUAL
REQUIREMENTS SO WE GET THE
MAXIMUM BENEFITS TO OUR
COMMUNITIES ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO
HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY.
MARGINALIZED IN THE ECONOMY. SB
ONE FIFTIES STATES THE INTENT OF
THE LEGISLATURE IS TO DEVELOP
PROCUREMENT MODELS TO ENHANCE
THE STATE'S TRAINING POP UP
PIPELINE FOR QUALITY JOBS AND
COMMUNITY BENEFITS ON
INFRASTRUCTURE MANUFACTURING OUT
USING THESE FEDERAL FUNDS. THIS
BILL REQUIRES THE INCLUSION OF
COMMUNITY BENEFITS IN PROJECT
LABOR AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO BY
A STATE AGENCY FOR PROJECTS OF
THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS AND
ABOVE IN CONSTRUCTION COSTS
COMMUNITY BENEFITS COULD INCLUDE
LOCAL HIRE PROVISIONS
CONSTRUCTION CAREERS PROGRAMS.
THE HIRING OF VETERANS FORMALLY
INCARCERATED OR YOUTH FROM
ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED AREAS
SB ONE FIFTY REQUIRES THE LABOR
WORK FORCE DEVELOPMENT
GOVERNMENT OPS OPERATIONS AGENCY

CONSULTATION WITH LABOUR
BUSINESS MANUFACTURING WOMEN IN

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE GOVERNOR.
AND TO OUR LEGISLATURE THIS BILL
IS FOCUSED ON STRENGTHENING
CALIFORNIA'S COMMITMENT TO
WORKER CENTERED EQUITABLE
ECONOMY BY SETTING UP A GROUP OF
EXPERTS TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS
ON EMBEDDING INCENTIVES IN
CONTRACTS AND PROCUREMENT.
LASTLY THE BILL REQUIRES THE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO
RESERVE FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS

RANGE OF SUPPORTIVE SERVICES AND
CAREER PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE TO
UNDERSERVED AND UNDERREPRESENTED

CUEVAS TO SPEAK. ONE AUTHOR.
SENATOR DORADO FRUIT FOR THOSE
COMPREHENSIVE- EXPLANATION OF
THIS IMPORTANT BILL I WANT TO
THANK THE CHAIR FOR GIVING US AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TODAY AND
ALL OF YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBERS OF
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. THIS IT
ONE FIFTY REALLY IS OUR BILL
THIS IS A BILL THAT BEGAN IN
BOTH THE SENATE AND THE ASSEMBLY
REALLY INTERROGATING WHAT IS THE
WAY THAT WE ENSURE THAT THESE
INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS CALM DOWN
INTO THE COMMUNITIES. THAT WE
KNOW ACROSS THE STATE NEEDED THE
MOST AND THIS PACKAGE OF
INFRASTRUCTURE BILLS THAT WE ARE
CONSIDERING AS PART OF THIS
YEAR'S BUDGET HAS PRESENTED ALL
OF US WITH AN INCREDIBLE
OPPORTUNITY. THERE ARE OF COURSE
THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW
PROJECTS AS THE GOOD SENATOR
FROM LOS ANGELES MENTIONED TO
IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES AND TO DECREASE OUR
RELIANCE ON FOSSIL FUELS BUT WE
ALSO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
CREATE EQUITABLE JOBS. CAREER
PROGRAMS FOR OUR STATE'S WORKING
FAMILIES ESPECIALLY THOSE MOST
DISADVANTAGED AND LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR IN MY
DISTRICT AND IN YOURS. I
REPRESENTS SOUTH CENTRAL LOS
ANGELES SOUTH CENTRAL LOS
ANGELES WAS THE CROWN JEWEL OF
CALIFORNIA ONE OF THE CROWN
JEWELS OF CALIFORNIA'S
INDUSTRIAL CENTERS IT WAS THE
SECOND LARGEST PRODUCERS OF
AUTOMOBILES BEHIND DETROIT.
THOSE GOOD INDUSTRIAL JOBS IN
THE NINETEEN SEVENTIES CREATED
THE REALITY THAT HEAVY
MANUFACTURING IN LIGHT
MANUFACTURING WITH THE NUMBER
ONE EMPLOYERS OF BLACK FOLKS IN
SOUTH CENTRAL IN THE NINETEEN
SEVENTIES. AND THOSE JOBS
DISAPPEARED. THE UNIONS WENT
ALONG WITH THEM. AND WHAT WE
WERE LEFT WITH WAS A SHIFT INTO
A SERVICE SECTOR A SERVICE
SECTOR THAT MANY OF US HAVE
WORKED TO IMPROVE FOR WORKERS
AND FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. FORTY
AND FIFTY YEARS LATER AFTER THAT
INDUSTRIAL TRANSITION. BY THE
EARLY NINETEEN- THE EARLY TWO
THOUSANDS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND
RETAIL WOULD BECOME THE NUMBER
ONE EMPLOYER A BLACK WORKERS IN
SOUTH CENTRAL. THE IMPACT OF THE
SHIFT. THIS IS A VISIBLE SHIFT.
CREATED ECONOMIC DEVASTATION IN
ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES. AND WE
STILL HAVE NOT RECOVERED FROM
THAT TODAY. WE CANNOT MAKE
SIMILAR MISTAKES AS WE MOVE FROM
A SERVICE AND TO A GREEN ECONOMY
WITHOUT SINTERING THESE
COMMUNITIES AND FOLKS THAT WE
HAVE LEFT BEHIND AND THAT WE AS
LEGISLATORS ARE TRYING TO BILL
SAFETY NETS. TO SUPPORT EVERY
DAY THE HERIS AND BYTON THE BY
DIDN'T HEAR SAID MINISTRATION
HAS ALREADY IDENTIFIED THIS
PROBLEM IS IT IN IS DOING IS
TAKING STEPS TO REALLY ENSURE
THAT OUR GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR
EVERYONE BY INCLUDING METRICS
FOR GENDER AND RACIAL EQUITY AND
ECONOMIC EQUITY AND GOOD JOBS.
THEY HAVE SPELLED OUT IN
EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO ENSURE THE
CORE ELEMENTS OF WHAT THE
ADMINISTRATION IS LOOKING FOR IN
TERMS OF THE COMPETITIVE EDGE IS
THAT WE APPLIED THESE MEASURES.
TO OUR APPLICATION PROCESS FOR
THESE INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS AND
THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE
SENATE IN THE ASSEMBLY IN
CRAFTING THIS IMPORTANT
LEGISLATION TO BOTH SERVE OUR
WORKERS AND TO KEEP CALIFORNIA
COMPETITIVE FOR FEDERAL FUNDING
WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE EQUITABLE
HIRING WITH OUR INFRASTRUCTURE
DOLLARS. SB ONE FIFTY IS THE
NEXT STEP IN OUR LONG JOURNEY
TOWARD ECONOMIC JUSTICE FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS AND BY REQUIRING
PROJECTS OVER THIRTY FIVE
MILLION IN VALUE TO FOCUS ON
HELPING THE COMMUNITIES WHERE
THEY ARE LOCATED WHERE WE HAVE
DEEP DISPARITY. WE CAN HELP
HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED
COMMUNITIES. COMMUNITIES THAT
HAVE BEEN TRADITIONALLY UNDER
REPRESENTED IN THE
INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR AND ENSURE
WE'RE BUILDING A GREEN SECTOR
THAT REPRESENTS AN INCLUDES US
ALL. BY ENGAGING WITH
STAKEHOLDERS REPRESENTING LABOR
AND BUSINESS CALIFORNIA
MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS SB ONE
FIFTY WILL PROVIDE US WITH THE
POLICIES THAT WE CAN USE TO
SHAPE THE FUTURE OF WORK IN
CALIFORNIA AND I AM SO PROUD TO
BE HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY WITH MY
COLLEAGUES AND WITH THESE GREAT.
A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS- TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT
HAVE AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN THIS
JOURNEY TOGETHER AND WITH THAT
I'LL PASS IT ON TO OUR WITNESSES
. A TWO MINUTES. MISTER CHAIR
MEMBER SARAH FLOCKS CALIFORNIA
LABOR FEDERATION AND AS THE
AUTHOR SAID. THE FEDERAL AND
STATE GOVERNMENT IS POURING
BILLIONS INTO CREATING A NEW
CLIMATE ECONOMY. AND THERE ARE
GOING TO BE JOBS CREATED
OPPORTUNITIES IN CONSTRUCTION IN
BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE BUT ALSO
IN MANUFACTURING. SO WORKERS ARE
GOING TO BE BUILDING BATTERIES
SEMICONDUCTORS LAYING BROADBAND-
WORKING WITH LITHIUM AND
BUILDING THINGS THAT WE DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE YET. AND
WE HAVE INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL FOR
THESE JOBS TO BE GOOD JOBS TO
CREATE A NEW PATH TO THE MIDDLE
CLASS. BUT GOOD JOBS JUST DON'T
HAPPEN. THE REASON THAT WE HAD
GOOD UNION JOBS IN AUTO
MANUFACTURING IS BECAUSE WORKERS
UNIONIZED AND HAD SIT DOWN
STRIKES IN FLINT. AND THEY
FORMED UNIONS AND THEY FOUGHT
FOR THESE TO BE GOOD JOBS. JOBS
IN MANUFACTURING JOBS ANYWHERE
ARE NOT JUST GOOD BECAUSE WE
CREATE THEM. AND CALIFORNIA HAS
SET STANDARDS IN MANY OTHER
INDUSTRIES TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL
OF THESE INVESTMENTS ARE BOTH
GOOD FOR THE CLIMATE. AND CREATE
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE BUT ALSO
CREATE- ECONOMIC AND CLIMATE
JUSTICE. AND JUST THE SAME THESE
JOBS ARE NOT GOING TO BE
EQUITABLE AND DIVERSE AND OPEN
TO ALL CALIFORNIANS UNLESS WE
ALSO INSURE THAT THOSE STANDARDS
ARE THERE. AND SO SB ONE FIFTY
IS AN IMPORTANT FIRST STEP
TOWARDS FIGURING OUT AND
CREATING THE STANDARDS THAT WE
NEED TO HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT
THESE ARE GOOD JOBS. IT'S A

STEP PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENTS
ARE EXTREMELY DISCRIMINATORY
THEY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST
APPRENTICE'S JOURNEY WORKERS AND
CONTRACTORS WHO ARE UNAFFILIATED
WITH A CONSTRUCTION UNIONS- THEY
EXCLUDE. UP 280% OF THE
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY- FROM A
COMPETING FOR PUBLIC WORKS
PROJECTS UNDER A PROJECT LABOR
AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE WE'RE A
LITTLE BIT CONFUSED- ON SECTION
TWO AND THE DELAYED
IMPLEMENTATION DATE AND WHY
THESE COMMUNITY BENEFITS THAT
ARE SUPPOSEDLY GOING TO BE
ATTACHED. TO PROJECT LABOR
AGREEMENTS ARE DELAYED. A FOR
THREE YEARS AND PROJECTS THAT
ARE THIRTY FIVE BILLION DOLLARS
OR MORE IT WOULD SEEM LOGICAL
FROM A PURELY POLITICAL
PERSPECTIVE- THAT A PROJECT
DELIVERY UP AT. PROJECT LABOR

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM
THE EDITOR FONG I JUST A QUICK
QUESTION- THERE'S A CONCERN
THAT- THIS BILL WILL. INCREASE
THE COST OF COMPLETING EVERY
SUCH PROJECTS IN CALIFORNIA.
CUTS IN IN IN AFFECTED
NULLIFYING KIND OF THE SAVINGS
THAT WE'VE WE'VE WE WOULD HAVE
ACHIEVED WITH SB ONE FORTY FIVE
AND ONE FORTY SIX WE JUST PUT IT
ON- I SEE THAT THIS BILL
REQUIRES THREE AGENCIES STATE TO
COME TOGETHER TO- TO BRING ABOUT
NEW TERMS ADD TO CONTRACTS AND-
CAN YOU CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT.
WHAT THOSE THINGS AND EXAMPLES
WHAT THOSE NEW TERMS WOULD BE.
WHAT I COULD SAY THAT IN THE
PRIDE IN THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS
AGREEMENTS I GAVE SOME EXAMPLES
OF THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT
COULD BE INCLUDED UP FROM
TARGETED POPULATIONS TO OUT
REACH FOR WORK. OUT WOMEN IN THE
INDUSTRY- IS ONE EXAMPLE
FORMERLY INCARCERATED- THERE
EVEN EXAMPLES OF YOU KNOW
HOUSING OF THAT COULD BE
PROVIDED TO WORKERS WHO GET ARE
RECRUITED INTO THE
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM SO.
THERE'S UP A MARRIOTT OF-
EXAMPLES THAT ACROSS THE COUNTRY
HAVE BEEN USED AND INCLUDED IN-
COMMUNITY BENEFITS AGREEMENTS.
YEAH AND I WILL ALSO JUST ADD A
ALSO- THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME
TOGETHER AROUND THIS IN TERMS OF
THESE DIFFERENT AGENCIES IS THAT
WE CAN ALSO PUT IN LANGUAGE SUCH
AS THOSE AT RISK OF HOMELESSNESS
FOR EXAMPLE. SO DO YOU KNOW THE
COMMUNITY BENEFIT IS REALLY WHAT
ARE THE NEEDS OF THE STATE AND
HOW CAN WE USE THESE DOLLARS TO
HELP ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS- I'VE
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF WORKING
ON PROJECTS BEFORE COMING TO THE
STATE LEGISLATURE WHERE- WE-
NEED. WE BUILT IN THIS LANGUAGE
AND THOSE PROJECTS WERE BUILT
UNDER BUDGET AND ON TIME- THIS
IS A COMMON PRACTICE IT'S USED
THROUGHOUT THE STATE-
PARTICULARLY ON LARGE SCALE
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS- AND- WE
AREN'T STARTING THIS FROM
SCRATCH THIS IS. SORT OF THE
STANDARD THAT WE THINK IT'S TIME
FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO
ALSO- IN ACTS SO IN ESSENCE
THESE ARE MEASURES THAT HELP TO
MULTIPLY THE INVESTMENT IN TERMS
OF ADDRESSING OUR MOST. A
STUBBORN- CONDITIONS IN NEEDS-
USING A MODEL THAT HAS BEEN
TESTED- IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF
THE STATE- AND THAT IS PROVEN TO
WORK I PERSONALLY HAVE WATCH
WORKERS. WHO HAVE BUILT RAIL
LINES FOR EXAMPLE IN LOS
ANGELES- WHEN WE MET THEM WERE
SLEEPING IN THEIR CARS AND AT
THE END OF THE PROJECT THEY WERE
BUYING HOMES. AND SO THIS IS
WHAT THIS MODEL HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO DO- IT DOES NOT
SLOW DOWN THE PROCESS IT
ACTUALLY HELPS US ACCELERATE ON
THE CONDITIONS THAT WE'RE TRYING
TO. REPLICATE HERE I'M AT THE
STATE AND THAT'S THE BEST
OPPORTUNITY I THINK THAT WE HAVE
A WHY THIS BILL IS SO IMPORTANT.
MR THE S. IF YOU COULD SPEAK ON
THE ISSUE OF THE- TIMING YES
SENATOR- IN TERMS OF THERE'S TO
RESOLVE THE BILL AND THE
ENACTMENT OF THE ACTUAL
COMMUNITY BENEFIT ALLOWANCE FOR
CONTRACTOR ASSOCIATIONS AND
WORKING WITH LABOR UNIONS AND
LOCAL BUILDING TRADES COUNCILS
AND THE STATE. TO UNDERSTAND
THAT COMMUNITY BENEFITS ARE A
PRIORITY IT'S A SIGNAL THAT THE
LEGISLATURE HAS MADE ABOUT
COMMITTEE BENEFITS BEING A
REQUIREMENT AND THE GOVERNOR HAS
AGREED TO AS WELL AS PART OF THE
STATE AGENCY PUT BERMAN. THAT
DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY CAN'T
UTILIZE COMMUNITY BENEFITS
TODAY. BUT THEY GIVE THEM THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PREPARE FOR
BEFORE THAT BECOMES A MANDATE OF
ALL PROJECT LABOR. AND THEN WITH
REGARDS TO THE OTHER-
PROCUREMENT MODELS AND
CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS THOSE
ARE TO BE DEVELOPED IN
CONSULTATION AND RECOMMENDED BY
THE STATE AGENCIES OF CELLS THAT
ACTUALLY DELIVER THESE PROJECTS.
AND ARE GOING TO MEET THE
MINISTER IN A LOT OF THESE
FUNDS. SO THEY WOULD BE
RECOMMENDING SOMETHING THAT
WOULD NOT DELAY ANY PROJECTS IN
WOULD ACTUALLY ACHIEVE THE-
EQUITY EQUITY AND DIVERSITY
GOALS OF THIS LEGISLATION.
MISTER GIBSON. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH SIR MADAM CHAIR WHEN I
THINK THE AUTHORS- FOR BRINGING
HIS BILL- S. B. ONE FIFTY BEFORE
US. OF THIS PACK OF
INFRASTRUCTURE BILLS PRESENTED
VERY HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY- TO
CREATE NEW- EXCITING JOBS IN
CALIFORNIA ESPECIALLY FOR LOW
INCOME. RESIDENTS EXPRESSED TO
THE UNDERSCORE OF THOSE
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR- WHEN WE
LOOK AT WHAT JUST TRANSPIRED-
THIS MORNING WITH THE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT. AND
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION- WE NEED
OPPORTUNITIES TO BE OPEN UP EVEN
THOUGH- THAT TO OUR SUPREME
COURT WAS DERELICT IN THEIR
RESPONSIBILITY. BUT I'M GLAD TO
SAY THAT CALIFORNIA IS ALIVE AND
WELL THE MOVING. FORWARD THIS
BILL ALSO POSITION OUR LEADERS
TO TWO ONE I'M TACKLE THE ISSUES
OF POVERTY. POVERTY IN WHICH I
REPRESENT IN MY DISTRICT BEING
ABLE TO LIFT FAMILIES OUT OF
THOSE POVERTY'S CONDITIONS AND
PLACE THEM INTO A PLACE WHERE
THEY CAN GET A PIECE OF
AMERICANS RE MOVING FORWARD.
THIS IS A GAME CHANGER FOR
COMMUNITIES IN WHICH I
REPRESENTS SPECIALLY WATTS
WILLOWBROOK ROB WAS BORN AND
RAISED COMPTON AND ALSO
WILMINGTON AND THOSE INDIVIDUALS
AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY
REPRESENT REPRESENT I'M DESERVE
TO HAVE A FIGHTING CHANCE AND
KNOWING THAT. CALIFORNIA POLICY
MAKERS ARE ARE THOUGHTFUL AND
THINKING ABOUT THEM- WITH THIS
THOUGHTFUL PIECE OF LEGISLATION
MOVING FORWARD- SENATOR- OF-
CUEVAS- MADE MENTION ABOUT SOUTH
LOS ANGELES AND ABOUT CENTRAL
AVENUE ABOUT THE INDUSTRIAL I
REMEMBER. AND MAYBE I'M DATING
MYSELF MAYBE I WAS A LITTLE
CHILD THEN I SAW MY DADDY BUT
NONE THE LESS I SAW THRIVING
INDUSTRIES- AUTOMOTIVE
INDUSTRIES THRIVING AND GROWING
IN LOS ANGELES WE AT GOODYEAR
TIRES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
GOOD PAYING JOBS AND THOSE JOBS
LEFT WHICH LEFT ALSO. THESE
COMMUNITIES THAT I GREW UP AND
ZERO A COMMUNITIES. AND WE TALK
ABOUT. JOBS AND LIGHT AND HEAVY
INDUSTRIAL JOBS WE CAN DO BETTER
HERE IN CALIFORNIA AND I BELIEVE
THAT THIS PLACE US. IN THE RIGHT
TRACK TWO ONE ATTRACT NEW
COMPANIES NEW BUSINESSES TO
CALIFORNIA BRAND NEW BUSINESSES.
AND ALSO THOSE WHO LEFT GIVING
THEM A SECOND CHANCE TO COME
BACK AND ADD TO OUR FAMILY SO I
BELIEVE SB ONE FIFTY IS A WIN
WIN SITUATION FOR CALIFORNIA IS
A WIN WIN SITUATION FOR THE
POVERTY- CHANGING A WRITING A
NARRATIVE MOVING FORWARD. IS A
WIN WIN SITUATION UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES IS A WIN WIN
SITUATION FOR CALIFORNIA AND SO
I WOULD LOVE TO BE ADDED AS A CO
AUTHOR MAYBE A PRINCIPAL CALL-
YOU KNOW MY NAME HIGH ON THE
LIST. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH I
THINK WE MOVE I MOVED THE BILL
ALREADY. NO ST. THANK YOU. MR
CRIB. I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHORS FOR BRINGING THIS UP IT
IT'S EXCITING. AGAIN THE
OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU TALK
ABOUT ALL OF THOSE- PROJECTS
COMING TO THOSE COMMUNITIES.
HOWEVER I DO HAVE A CONCERN
BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME
WE HAVE THESE KIND OF
OPPORTUNITIES THEY TEND TO GO
TO. HAVE YOU HAVE A NICE AREAS
LIKE LOS ANGELES SAN FRANCISCO
AND ALL OF THOSE THAT ARE
HEAVILY URBANIZED I UNDERSTAND-
THAT'S WHERE THE POPULATION IS
BUT- REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE
COMMUNITIES THAT TROUBLE. TO
WORK IN THOSE AREAS LIKE THE
ONES THAT I REPRESENT. THE
ANTELOPE VALLEY IN THE VICTOR
VALLEY TEXAS TWO HOURS TO GET
THERE. I HEARD THINGS LIKE OF
THIS WILL PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR THOSE TO MOVE UP FOR THE
MIDDLE CLASS PRESERVE THE MIDDLE
CLASSES ARE GREAT THANKS. I
HEARD OTHER WORK IS SLEEPING IN
THEIR CARS WE'RE GETTING READY
TO GO TO WORK. THOSE MAY COME
FROM THOSE COMMUNITIES LIKE THE
ONE THAT I REPRESENT ARE
OFTENTIMES FORGOTTEN. A 6270% OF
OUR OF RESIDENTS TRAVELED DOWN
TO A LAID DOWN BELOW AS WE SAY.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THOSE JOBS
ARE THAT'S WHERE THE SUPPORTERS
COME TO. SO THAT'S ONE CONCERN I
WANTED TO EXPRESS BOND FORGET
THAT WHEN YOU SAY EQUITY. AND
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS. COMMUNITIES THAT
ARE OUTSIDE OF THOSE WERE NICE
AREAS ARE THE ONES THAT NEED TO
HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL.
NOT ONLY THE HIGH DESERT ALSO IN
THE CENTRAL VALLEY ALL OF THOSE
THAT. COMMUTE TO GET TO OR
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE JOBS ARE
PLEASE DON'T FORGET ABOUT THAT.
I WANT TO THANK US SENATOR OF
THE RUSSELL FOR COMING TO BE
SEEN BY DISTRIBUTES WE CAN- AND
AGAIN I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU
THAT. THOSE OPPORTUNITIES SHOULD
BE EQUALLY DISTRIBUTED INCLUDING
THOSE OUTSIDE. OF THOSE ARE IN A
SERIOUS. THANK YOU. S. MEMBER

SUPPORT HIGH ROAD EMPLOYMENT-
EQUITY- APPRENTICESHIPS. AND YOU

THE STATE A LOT TALK A LOT IN
THIS BUILDING- AND THE BUILDING
DOWN THE STREET AND WHEN WE CAN
PUT THAT TALK INTO ACTION. IT
REALLY MAKES IT FEEL LIKE YOU
KNOW WE'RE WE'RE MAKING AN
IMPACT FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE

EPICENTER OF THE DOOR ALSO AND
CUENTA SMALLWOOD- AS WELL AS TO

FUNDING IS COMING IN
APPROPRIATELY SO- UP FROM THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HOW MUCH AS
WELL AS HOW MUCH WE INVEST IN
INFRASTRUCTURE AND- WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT JUST
CREATING HIGH QUALITY JOBS
TODAY. OVER CREATING. OF CAREERS
FOR FOLLOWING GENERATIONS- THAT.
IN THE IN JOBS THAT. THAT HAVE
TRADITIONALLY ALLOWED AN
INDIVIDUAL TO SEND YOU KNOW UP
TO BUY A HOUSE TO SEND THEIR
KIDS TO COLLEGE. THAT THAT. IS
IN THE PAST WE WANT TO BRING

OF LEGISLATION- THAT PUTS US. ON
