Ten states post lobbying letters online. California lawmakers still say no
California lawmakers are killing legislation that would have forced them to immediately release business and advocacy lobbying letters. That leaves citizens waiting longer to find out how lobbyists are trying to shape new laws.

NOLIGARCHY.USWhy it matters:
When clinics lose a third of revenue, the people who suffer first are the poorest: pregnant folks, disabled patients, immigrants. Politicians passed policies that pull money away then act surprised when care disappears.

Very cool that the #Washington State legislature is considering HB 2210 a bill to allow cities to adopt #RankedChoiceVoting , including multi-winner RCV, which is a form of #proportionalRepresentation. https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=2210&Year=2025
A similar bill (SB 212, 2019) passed in California to be vetoed by Governor Newsom. If he'd signed it, more cities could experimenting with PR right now. But he'll be gone next year, so maybe we should try again! #ProRep #STV #California #democracy #CaLeg

Diligence JonesSomething to celebrate in CA:
9 of @EqualRightsAdvocates bills were signed by the Governor!!
The new laws, all 2025 priorities of our Stronger California Advocates Network, guard against:
- federal attacks on medicated abortion, trans people’s rights, and immigrant families; and
- advance proactive economic policy reform
We are keeping California at the forefront in advancing policies supporting women and families!

SB 79 unwinds decades of overly restrictive land use policies that have driven housing costs to astronomical levels, forcing millions of people to move far away from jobs and transit, to face massive commutes, or to leave California entirely” #transit #housing #CA #CALeg #SB79 #YIMBY #jobs
Newsom signs bill allowing for more homes near transit to help address California housing costs
