After a year-long wait, the campaign finance watchdog has a proposal to require elected officials to provide more information on special interest donations to their nonprofits.

The state budget approved last week includes $656 million in new ongoing funding for special education, including a 4.05% increase to the base funding rate.

The proposal would extend California’s statewide evictions moratorium through Sept. 30.

In April, the coalition of mayors of the state’s 13 largest cities, led by San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, asked for a $20 billion, five-year investment to curb homelessness—half of the state's surplus.

County elected officials punted on making a final decision about Laura’s Law in 2019, but a new state bill is forcing a vote.

A bill that would’ve offered a lifeline to behind-schedule projects—like Google’s San Jose mega-campus—never made it to the governor’s desk.
