Purchase your tickets today for our celebratory dinner to honor the winners of the 5th Annual Golden State Journalism Awards 5/21. We'll recognize CA's best public policy and political reporting of 2024, including Journalist of the Year. Be there! sacpressclub.org/events/upcomin…

Sacramento area Assemblymember @JoshHooverCA is among the panelists at our next lunch, "The Future of the California GOP," 3/11 from 12-1 pm @UCCenterSac. Moderated by @PoliticoCA Playbook editor @jonesblakej. Open to all. Tickets available: sacpressclub.org/events/upcomin…

NEW: Bipartisan bill AB30 would require CA air board to approve E15, a fuel blend with increased ethanol levels, by July 1, 2025. If it doesn't, the blend would become legal and allowable without CARB approval. Studies suggest E15 could lower gas prices by 20 cents/gallon.

Great question from @ZavalaA with @kcranews! CA families just want answers about the Senate’s failure to advance lower-cost #E15.

Love this! Fuel retailers offering E15 this way are selling a lot of gallons by replacing E10. If your vehicle cannot use E15 (2001 & newer vehicles, and flex fuel vehicles - FFVs, are approved), you can still fuel here. Same is true for boats, motorcycles, off-road, etc. There is an option for all. #ethanol

Drivers in #California—the state with the highest fuel prices—could save 20 cents a gallon with the #E15 #ethanol blend. It’s time for the Golden State to join the other 49 states and transition to allowing lower-carbon E15. ethanolrfa.org/media-and-news…

@DanCALmatters Dang, we were only two days off from finally having the Governor address the @SacPressClub!

With Gov. Gavin Newsom and Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis both out of state, the state Senate's newly installed president pro tem, Mike McGuire, is acting governor and would have to sign any bills needing a signature today.

Thank you to @mattmahon and Latigo Strategies for serving as a byline sponsor of our 2024 journalism awards reception!

See you soon for happy hour. We'll be at Smic's on K Street from 5-7 p.m. sacpressclub.org/events/upcomin…

What an incredible Palm Springs Modernism Week we just wrapped up in Assembly District 47! Celebrating design, architecture, and culture, this event showcases the heartbeat of our community. It’s also important to recognize the massive positive economic impact tourism brings to our district. That’s why I Introduced ACR 72 last year to designate May as California Tourism Month, acknowledging the vital role tourism plays in our local prosperity. Cheers to embracing creativity and boosting our vibrant community!

Looks like @GavinNewsom is as excited as I am to have Pablo Sandoval back with the @SFGiants for Spring Training!

Newsom keeps chiding media today for reporting LAO's projection of $68B deficit, saying the reporting was incorrect & deficit is actually $37.9B Yet, one of the biggest distinctions between his budget and LAO is merely an economic prediction. He predicts a rosier economy.

@ZavalaA Is he really expecting the press to just ignore the LAO? I understand if he's frustrated with the LAO numbers but lots of emphasis on the folks reporting them.

Newsom begins wrapping up the presentation by expressing frustration again with stories that constantly used the LAO’s budget shortfall projection.

NOW: Gov. Gavin Newsom is presenting the first draft of his proposed state spending plan. His administration projects CA’s budget shortfall will be $37.9 Billion, significantly lower than what the LAO projected ($68B). His total proposed budget: $291.5 Billion🧵

Tune in here at 10:30 this morning to find out how Gov. Gavin Newsom plans to close a $68 billion deficit - if that is the real number... youtu.be/qe6d8rxJcFQ #CALeg #CABudget
