I’m in LA today to kick off the NO on Prop 39 campaign with @XavierBecerra, @SenAlexPadilla, @jodihicks, Yvonne Wheeler, and many others. Protect YOUR right to vote and say NO to Prop 39!

The status quo is unacceptable. California’s wildfire survivors deserve to come first. The home building community supports accountability and a clear path to recovery for those affected.
NEW: California firefighters back @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom’s plan to fix the broken wildfire compensation system.
Under the plan:
👥 Survivors get paid FIRST
❌ NO bonuses for the utility executives responsible
🛑 Stop Wall St hedge funds from profiting off victims
💰 Utility shareholders fund 2 years of credits for electric bills
🏠 Homeowners get help hardening their homes

This reader is spot-on: the LA Times coverage of the gondola project has made it seem like a universally-despised, environmentally-catastrophic, greedy developer plot that will destroy LA.
Could it be that Angelenos might actually *like* and *benefit from* an urban gondola?

California senators just voted 39-0 for Uber and California attorneys' deal aimed at aiding car crash victims, sending it to Newsom and avoiding a costly ballot fight.
Sen. Tom Umberg managed to say the word "lien" at least nine times in two minutes during his floor speech.

A new statewide survey paints a concerning picture of retirement security in California, with most voters saying the state’s high cost of living and taxes are making it increasingly difficult to save for the future.

The ULA Coalition just released a study from BAE Economics
Conclusion -
ULA is economically benign because most LA projects already don’t work due to macro economic factors.
Brilliant theory. A huge new r-e tax is totally fine because market rate housing is already fucked! 🤯

That’s the guy who forced the UCLA Mobility Lab into writing a report saying that somehow adding a transit alternative would not alleviate surrounding traffic.
A study that was later discredited by its own authors, years ago now.
Yet it is still being cited by project opponents to this day.
And without any mention of the retraction by news media covering the gondola.

Unless the LA City Council can cap expenses for apartment operators— capping insurance premiums, utility costs, etc.—capping rent growth will only drive more projects towards insolvency. If that’s the goal, fine. But they should say so.

Dr. Michael Mandel never intended to research the economic impact of sports betting. The chief economist and vice president of the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) got into gambling for a simple reason: He wanted something to share with his then-94-year-old father.
That personal experience led Mandel to examine sports betting through his professional lens at PPI, a think tank focused on balancing innovation with regulation.
The result is a new study that challenges the narrative that legalized sports betting is driving Americans into financial ruin.

Millions of Virginians are playing online casino games on unregulated, offshore sites – often without even knowing it.
Legalizing and regulating online casino games would protect players, generate tens of millions in tax revenue for the state, and take power away from illegal operators.

NEWS: Gavin Newsom has raised $6.2 million in online donations in the first week of redistricting fight.
An outpouring of 200k donations is a sign of awakening Dem small donor base.
It's also a boon to lists for a potential 2028 run.
