The governor released his May Budget Revise. The hallmark of the Revise is not its spending, but its spending restraint. Before we focus on new spending, we need to pay off our old obligations. I am glad to see the governor is continuing to call for fiscal responsibility.
One thing is clear – there is no “surplus” in California’s budget. Certainly the state budget is on solid ground, and we are no longer debating spending cuts and more taxes. But that’s only because the voters were told the money would go to education and public safety and approved a $45 billion tax increase.
Speaking of debt, the Legislative Analyst’s Office tells us that there’s more than $340 billion of state debt and unfunded …read more

The Fullerton Chamber of Commerce is one of only 26 local chambers of commerce throughout California—and the only chamber in Orange County—to receive the 2014 President’s Circle Award issued by the California Chamber of Commerce. This is the third consecutive year the Fullerton Chamber has received the award.
The award will be presented by representatives of CalChamber to the Fullerton Chamber during a board of directors meeting this summer.
The award, first presented in 2009, recognizes chambers for excellence in business advocacy and helping their members comply with California employment laws.
President’s Circle award recipients published vote records of their state legislators on key business issues, generated letters to state elected officials on issues of interest to members and participated in the CalChamber compliance product resale program at an exemplary level.

Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar) voted for legislation today designed to deter child sex trafficking in California by strengthening criminal penalties against sex buyers and imposing a penalty structure similar to that for drunken driving. Huff is serving as a Principal Co-Author for SB 1388, which is authored by Senator Ted Lieu (D-Redondo Beach). Senator Jerry Hill and Senator Holly Mitchell are serving as Joint Authors in the bi-partisan effort to combat child sex trafficking.
“Passage of SB 1388 in the Senate sends a strong message to both buyers and sellers that there will be serious consequences for the crime of exploiting our children,” said Senator Huff. “Stronger penalties will make the buying and selling of children far less appealing by increasing jail time and fines for scurrilous pimps and their customer base.”
SB 1388 sets a minimum fine of $1,000 for soliciting sex from a minor and a minimum fine of $5,000 for pimping a minor, as well as a minimum of 48 hours in county jail for engaging …read more
