As well as continuing with the above mentioned attainments, there is so much more that Dan Carson wants to do. Among these laudable goals are:
The garbage dumpster is just 10 feet away from the bins. Apparently, for some folks, that’s just too far to walk.
Existing UC Regents policy also requires UC to be a model employer and to only use contractors as an option of last resort to address temporary or exigent circum stances. In addition, the policy requires UC vendors to pay wages and provide benefits consistent with the wages and benefits the system offers its own employees for provid ing the same or similar services.

These record-keeping requirements and the risk of costly litigation would disincen tivize and discourage small businesses from contracting with UC. This could cost the state jobs, especially in smaller communi ties where UC campuses are major employ ers, and negatively affect small businesses and their owners across California.
That’s a legitimate ques tion now that the Legislature has ratified Gov. Gavin New som’s plan to keep the almost 40-year-old facility on the coast northwest of San Luis Obispo going at least five years past its previously set closing date, while California pursues expansion of renew able energy sources like solar, wind and geothermal.
I strongly encouraged Dan Carson to run for City Council, and was so pleased when he won his election. He has not disappointed, making me very glad to have supported him in this endeavor. Here are just some of his worthy accom plishments that directly effect citizens:
retirement soon and using them as “peakers” to be fired up only when need is greater than the rest of the power grid can handle. One thing for sure: a nuclear plant like Diablo Canyon is unsuited for use as a peaker, taking far too long to get going after a shutdown.Intheirlast-ditch effort to stave off Newsom’s plan for keeping Diablo Canyon open, many legislators ignored peakers, instead suggesting the money PG&E will now get from consumers instead go to improving the efficiency of air conditioners and other appliances, creating incen tives for consumers to use power at non-peak times or install solar rooftop panels.
We can’t afford to lose these vital services, and we shouldn’t place such burdensome requirements and litigation risks on small businesses that are the backbone of our state’s economy.
But Diablo Canyon’s owner, Pacific Gas & Electric Co., never paid any serious price for the delays that plagued the plant from the beginning. It is in line for another handout now, com ing up Diablosoon.delays began even before ground was broken for the plant, this state’s last sur viving source of large-scale atomic energy. Others at Humboldt Bay near Eureka, San Onofre near San Clem ente and Rancho Seco near Sacramento shut down years ago.Diablo Canyon’s first delay came in the 1970s, when PG&E and others suddenly noticed an earthquake fault near its planned site. It took years of redesign to satisfy authorities the plant would be largely earthquake safe.
So residents of Los Ange les, Sacramento, Glendale, Riverside and a few other places with publicly owned utilities, will be exempt, while everyone else pays, whether or not they use Diablo Can yonThispower.was entirely consis tent with Newsom’s great efforts and care in making sure PG&E survived its almost 100 convictions for manslaughter and its many billions of dollars in liability for damage from the many devastating fires it caused over the last five years in Northern California via neg ligent maintenance over the last 70 years.
The restrictions SB 1364 would impose are ostensibly to enforce UC’s wage-andbenefit parity policy. But UC is already enforcing this policy: It audits suppliers of covered services for compliance, and failure to comply with wage-and-benefit parity is grounds for contract termination. These are adequate safeguards for ensuring contract employees have the same wages and bene fits.In addition, SB 1364 would require ven dors who have a contract of $1,000 or more to report their payroll information every six months to UC and any organization that is the exclusive representative of UC employ ees who perform similar services. This information would include each contracted employee’s name, address, phone number, hours worked at UC and non-UC locations and their pay.

The bottom line: Newsom’s clout overcame resistance to his plan and Diablo Canyon will go on pumping out power at least five years past its former deadline, also delivering money to its owner, to the dismay of con servation backers, consumer activists and others who somehow remain key parts of Newsom’s electoral coalition.

complete, came the revela tion that PG&E engineers had made a “mirror image” error in reading blueprints, and the plant was completely haywire. That delayed open ing by more than three years. This summer, with PG&E and environmental groups having agreed six years ago on closing Diablo Canyon when its license was due to expire in 2025, Newsom sud denly realized that without Diablo Canyon, California might have blackouts at heavy usage times, especially summer and early autumn afternoons that grow ever hotter as climate change pro gresses.Newsom’s plan once again reveals the fealty he plainly believes he owes PG&E, one of his most steadfast donors, having given more than $10 million to his campaigns over the last quarter century.
UC has been a significant source of revenue for these businesses, spending more than $1 billion on goods and services from minorityowned, women-owned and disabled veteranowned businesses in fiscal year 2021.

But does it make sense for California? Producing 2,240 megawatts, or less than 5 percent of what California needs at peak times, Diablo Canyon by itself probably won’t stave off many black outs. That might best be done by keeping open a few conventional gas-fired power plants that are also due for
Any UC employee or any contracted employee would also be able to sue vendors for alleged violations. The bill mandates that courts impose penalties (from $100 up to $14,000 per employee) on California businesses, and it requires a five-year black listing of vendors from holding contracts with UC even if their violation is minor or technical in nature.
If SB 1364 becomes law, it will affect UC classes, facilities and health care delivery. For example, some medical centers occa sionally need to contract for specialty medi cal translation services in languages UC doesn’t often encounter. If translation ven dors won’t work with UC, those patients may need to go elsewhere.
This legislation harms California’s small businesses, essential drivers of the state’s economic growth. Small businesses (those with 500 or fewer employees) create twothirds of new jobs in the state and employ nearly half of all private sector employees. In California, small businesses repre sent 99.8% of all businesses and employ more than 7 million workers.
