Re: Appearance Before the Legislature to Discuss Amendments to Cap & Invest
Chair Sanchez,
In a letter to the Senate budget chair, Sens. Catherine S. Blakespear, Susan Rubio and Thomas J. Umberg call for $400 million in additional funding for treatment and counseling services required under Proposition 36.
We, the undersigned members of the California State Legislature, representing the most populous state and the fourth largest economy in the United States, strongly urge you to vote against the Fiscal Year 2026 Homeland Security Appropriations Act, which passed the House of Representatives last week and appears before you.
Dear Director El-Tawansy, Commissioner Duryee, and Chief Wahl,
We are writing to request information regarding three recent closures of the Interstate 5 in San Diego and Orange Counties that resulted in significant and prolonged disruptions for tens of thousands of Californians. First, we want to be clear that public safety – including the safety of law enforcement and the general public – must always be the top priority. We commend all of law enforcement and first responders for putting their lives on the line and running to unpredictable and high-risk situations. At the same time, when closures of a critical interstate extend for hours, specifically during peak periods, careful examination and explanation of existing policies, procedures, and tools are warranted.
I am writing to you today as both the State Senator for District 38 and a long-time Encinitas resident, proud council alumna, and former Mayor, in support of preserving the core features of the recently completed western phase of the Santa Fe Drive Corridor Improvements Project.
