Newsom proposes acceleration of key climate goals
KATHLEEN RONAYNE AND ADAM BEAM Associated Press California Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to speed up the state’s transition to non-carbon electricity sources and accelerate its timeline for lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Those are among the proposals the Democratic governor has delivered to lawmakers as they work to hash out how to spend $19.3 billion set aside for climate in the state budget. He also wants to establish a permitting policy for projects that would remove carbon dioxide from the air and put into law the state’s 2045 carbon neutrality goal as well as a ban on new oil wells within 3,200 feet (975 meters) of homes and schools.“The ambition of California’s climate goals must match the urgency and scale of the climate crisis,” the Newsom administration wrote in a document distributed to state lawmakers that was obtained by The Associated Press. “Increasing ambition in the near-term supports the unprecedented rate of transformation needed in this decade to build the clean energy systems of tomorrow.”Theproposal would be part of the state’s $300 billion state budget. Lawmakers passed the budget earlier this year without figuring out how to spend the climate money.
Newsom and state legislative leaders have until the end of August to reach a deal. Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, a Democrat from Lakewood, noted the Assembly previously approved bills that would do much of what Newsom wants — including making the carbon-neutral goal a law and setting a goal for nature-based carbon removal of emissions. “I would say that I more than support such efforts,” Rendon said in a statement. “I agree with the Governor that California absolutely must take more of the same kind of actions that the Assembly has been workingCaliforniaon.” already has some of the nation’s most ambitious goals for weening off of fossil fuels by transitioning to electric cars and home appliances. State air quality officials have already either adopted or proposed a number of new rules to reach those goals, including banning the sale of new gas-powered lawn equipment, banning the sale of new gas-powered passenger vehicles by 2035 and requiring all of California’s electricity to come from renewable sources — like solar and wind — by 2045.

Newsom’s proposal goes even further. The state, for example, is required to make sure its greenhouse gas emissions are 40% less than 1990 levels by the year 2030. Newsom wants to change that to a 55% reduction. State leaders have promised to make the state “carbon neutral” by 2045, meaning it would remove as much carbon dioxide from the air as it emits. Newsom’s proposal would turn that from a goal into a law. Setting more ambitious goals is a good start, but ensuring they are implemented is more important, said Danny Cullenward, a lawyer and economist who focuses on California climate policy and sits on a panel that oversees the state’s cap-and-trade program. He was particularly skeptical about the increase in the 2030 emissions reduction goal, as many observers believe the state is not on path to meet the more modest existing targets. “If this provides an opportunity to have an honest conversation about implementation, it’s unambiguously positive,” he said. “But I worry we haven’t been having that conversation.”Still,hesaid he’s excited about Newsom’s proposal to set near-term targets for ensuring more of the state’s electricity comes from renewable and non-carbon sources. It wouldn’t change the state’s requirement that 100% of its electricity for retail sales is zero-emission by 2045, but it would set interim benchmarks to make sure that the state is scaling up solar and wind projects moreRenewablequickly. electricity is better for the environment, but it isn’t as reliable as traditional power sources like burning coal and natural gas. Solar and wind power depend on the weather and the state doesn’t have enough batteries to store excess energy for use at night. The state’s hydropower plants have been hurt by a severe drought that has shrunk the state’s reservoirs. Two years ago, California ran out of power during an extreme heat event, prompting rolling blackouts that hit hundreds of thousands of customers. Newsom has vowed not to let that happen again. He said his plan would maintain reliability while keeping people’s electricity bills affordable. Both goals will be a challenge. Newsom has already signaled a willingness to tap fossil fuel-powered energy sources to avoid blackouts if necessary during the hot summer months. Meanwhile, California’s electricity rates are already Meeting our goals of 100% clean electricity by 2045 is still the componentkey in fighting climate

housing. California needs a plan to build enough temporary and permanent housing with measurable outcomes, clear responsibility and funding. The plan must include all levels of government. Newsom’s Project Roomkey (which is ending) and Project Homekey are innovative programs, but we need long-term, sustainable programs that encourage housing production and ongoing services in every community.

Homelessness, Gov. Gavin Newsom has said, “[i]f it’s not the first, second and third issue in the state, it’s No. 1, 2, 3 and 4.” The California State Association of Counties wholeheartedly agrees. We all — the state, counties and cities — have a AandsevereCountyriverbedwhoact.unhousedandstoriesdaunting,homelessnumbersCalifornia.ofchangeresponsibilityprofoundtothecoursehomelessnessinWhilethebigdefiningthecrisiscanbetheindividualofthesuccessesfailurestohelpthecompelustoConsiderawomanwaslivinginainRiversidewithuntreatedmentalillnessanailinghusband.housingnavigatorfrom a local nonprofit helped her find shelter, while county case managers connected her to important social services and federal benefits.

and a housing program, where they remained stable and housed for four years. Unfortunately, disagreement with their landlord eventually led to an eviction notice. While staying in an emergency shelter, they were arrested for domestic violence and remain incarcerated to this day.County officials have had enough of the fragmented homeless services system, the local finger-pointing and the lack of accountability. We know homelessness is complicated, but we owe it to those suffering on our streets to make major changes.Theassociation of counties respectfully suggest these four steps: 1. Create a statewide plan. California lacks a comprehensive, holistic, statewide approach to addressing our homelessness crisis. What we are doing now is fragmented and lacks clear lines of accountability for all levels of government, is insufficiently funded and is undertaken without policy tools needed to guide efforts. We need a statewide plan that pulls together all aspects and all levels of government, with clear metrics and accountability.2.Developa comprehensive partnership between the state, counties and cities with clear responsibilities. No level of government is solely responsible for the homelessness crisis. We can only achieve meaningful progress by developing a system — from shelter and housing to ongoing services and rehabilitation — that recognizes the integral role of the state and local governments working as partners.3.Build temporary and permanent

4. Provide long-term, equitable state investments for treatment and supportive services. Newsom and the Legislature are to be commended for providing more funding to address homelessness than previously in California, but sustained state support is imperative. To continue to make progress, local governments need ongoing and flexible funding to develop housing as well as the wraparound services required to help the unhoused and those living with a mental illness and/or substance-use disorders. The complexity of homelessness also requires equitable statewide funding for key existing county services, such as public guardians, assisted outpatient treatment programs and peer support specialists.

Los Angeles is among many cities struggling to deal with a surge in homelessness and large encampments scattered along sidewalks that have sparked public outcry. Supporters of the blanket ban said homeless camps pose health and safety threats to schoolchildren, especially because of the disruptive presence of people with drug addictions or mental illness. “This is something to protect kids in our city,” Councilmember Paul Koretz said before voting for the measure. He said “asking folks in an encampment to move a couple hundred feet” should be an easy decision if it means children have a safer walk to and from school.
Los Angeles OKs sweeping ban on homeless camps near

The measure must be signed by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti before it takes effect and his office didn’t immediately respond to phone and email messages seeking comment.
CHRISTOPHER WEBER Associated Press Homeless encampments that have proliferated in nearly every neighborhood of Los Angeles will no longer be allowed within 500 feet (152 meters) of schools and day care centers under a sweeping ban approved Tuesday during a City Council meeting disrupted by protesters who said the law criminalizes homelessness. The council voted 11-3 to broadly expand an existing prohibition on sitting, sleeping or camping that previously only applied to schools and day cares specified by the council. The meeting was recessed before the vote when dozens of demonstrators shouted their opposition to the measure and police officers cleared the council chamber. One person was arrested, said Los Angeles Police Department Officer Annie Hernandez said. Protesters also gathered outside City Hall, chanting “Abolish 41.18,” a reference to the law prohibiting encampments on freeway overpasses, around railroad tracks, near loading docks, at libraries and other locations.
schools
The final vote, which applies to the city’s public and private schools, came after two previous votes, including one last week that was also interrupted by a raucous protest.
About 750 public school sites are within Los Angeles and nearly 1,000 commercial day care businesses are registered with the city. The new public school year starts next Monday. Opponents of the ban, including homeless advocates, said it would further criminalize homelessness and waste resources better spent on outreach and connecting people in need to Homelessservices.residents are far more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators, the nonprofit People Assisting The Homeless, or PATH, said in a statement opposing the measure.“Enforcement of anti-camping ordinances, then, only displaces people and makes it harder for trained outreach staff to establish trust again. Residents of cleared encampments, unless connected to stable permanent housing through a traumainformed case management process, often return to unsheltered homelessness,” PATH said in a statement.
The reshuffle became necessary after the SMMUSD discovered major damage on the shared John Muir/SMASH campus earlier this year. A 131-page report commissioned by the District and released this past spring blamed a combination of “poor construction practices, age and exposure, deferred maintenance, and defective or inappropriate installation of materials, including during relatively recent repair or remediation work” for extensive damage leading to the removal of all students from the campus for at least the next two school years as issues are investigated and remediated.
Funding for the lease of the SMC campus buildings come out of Measure SMS funds approved by voters in 2018. Those funds are designated toward improving Santa Monica school facilities. But the funds will not come in the form of a check; rather, the school district will credit SMC on money it is paying to lease an SMMUSD property across town.Because SMC currently leases the Madison Campus — previously home to Madison Elementary School and still owned by SMMUSD — the rental fee will take the form of a credit on SMC’s rental fee on the Madison Campus. SMC uses the Madison Campus for its music program, the Pete & Susan Barrett Art Gallery and the Broad Stage. emily@smdp.com

If approved, programs currently taking place on the Olympic High School/Obama Center campus will move to SMC: the Olympic High School Continuation Program, Project Based Learning Cohort, Off Campus Learning Center and Independent Study Hub. This will in turn make room for SMASH, a kindergarten through eighth grade program, to move into the current Olympic campus (at 721 Ocean Park Boulevard). Students who had been attending John Muir Elementary, the neighborhood school for the Ocean Park neighborhood, have been reassigned to other elementary schools around Santa Monica, with the majority heading to Will Rogers Elementary in Sunset Park.
“The District will have use of the Premises, including restrooms within the Premises and on the first floor of the College’s Drescher Hall; lease payments of $500,000 a year, which will include College-provided security services, facility maintenance, and custodial services,” according to a staff report prepared for the upcoming meeting. The lease agreement also includes 40 parking spaces.According to District staff, the SMC campus buildings — the Pico Classroom Complex — meet all safety requirements to house high school level students.
The ban comes as several hotels are set to end their involvement in the state’s Project Roomkey, which paid the hotels to provide hundreds of rooms to unsheltered people. to approve a two-year contract (with an optional extension) that would see the District pay SMC $500,000 per year to house several secondary school programs on its campus at 1900 Pico Boulevard.

The state’s oil and gas regulator proposed the same setback distance in October 2021, but it is not yet law.Like the regulator’s proposal, Newsom’s would not shut down oil and gas wells already within that buffer zone. About two million Californians live within that distance of oil and gas wells. Instead, he proposes health and safety controls for those existing wells.

Stop in or call us to schedule service. Tool Repair & Servicing a judgment and injunctive relief.” At issue in the legal proceeding was a landlord’s reported refusal to accept a longtime tenant’s Section 8 voucher in what City attorneys alleged was a “discriminatory and coercive tactic” designed to evict the rental unit’s inhabitant and re-let the apartment at a significantly higher monthly rent — up to triple the current rate. The voucher was awarded to 69-year-old tenant Liliana Dasic through Section 8, a voucher federal program designed to assist “very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market,” according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, commonly referred to by its acronym, HUD. Dasic checked more than one box, being “69 years old, disabled, a liver transplant recipient, a cancer survivor, and extremely rent-burdened,” the City described in its initial complaint against her three landlords, Jonathan, Leon and Jenny Lee. The initial complaint, filed in February 2022, stated that Dasic had been a tenant in a rent-controlled apartment unit for 25 years and her monthly rent was $838.78, “far below market rent.” Yet, she paid all but $198 of her monthly income on rent and was forced to use food stamps, according to the court filing. The Section 8 voucher would have adjusted Dasic’s monthly rent burden from nearly 81 percent of her monthly income down to 30 percent, or about $311. However, her landlord refused to accept her voucher, according to the complaint. “On December 22, 2021, the City Attorney’s Office contacted Mr. Lee and informed him of Ms. Dasic’s fragile finances (along with the facts that she was disabled and a senior). Mr. Lee refused to agree to accept the voucher,” the initial complaint, dated March 7, stated. “As of this filing, Defendants have still refused, forcing Ms. Dasic to pay the entire rent in February and March without the voucher.” City attorneys argued the Lees violated the Santa Monica Municipal Code in several areas including the Tenant Harassment Ordinance, as well as other state laws that prohibit housing discrimination. As a result of the injunctive relief awarded in Superior Court Judge H. Jay Ford III, the three defendants must attend a City-approved fair housing training, adopt a City-approved fair housing policy and accept Dasic’s voucher.

The Lees were also ordered to pay $20,000 in “fines, penalties, fees, assessments, restitution, unjust enrichment, damages, attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation or litigation,” per Ford’s final “Closingjudgment.thedoor on Section 8 discrimination opens many other doors for applicants and tenants,” City Attorney Doug Sloan said in a prepared statement provided in the City’s press release. “The vouchers, this law, and our enforcement program are making a meaningful difference for rentburdened Santa Monicans.”

A Hawaii man has been arrested after DNA technology helped investigators identify him as a suspect in the 1992 slaying of a 15-year-old girl who was abducted in Northern California from a bus stop, raped and killed, authorities said. Karen Stitt was waiting for a bus in Sunnyvale when she disappeared in the early morning hours of Sept. 3, 1982. A delivery truck driver discovered her naked body among some bushes 100 yards (91 meters) away from the bus stop, the Mercury News reported Tuesday. Last week, Sunnyvale police arrested Gary Ramirez, 75, in Maui after they say his DNA matched the blood from Karen’s leather jacket and the 4-foot (1.2-meter) cinder block wall where the killer left her after stabbing her 59 times, the newspaper reported.Ramirez remains incarcerated in a Maui jail awaiting an extradition hearing Wednesday to bring him to California. It was not immediately clear if he has retained an attorney who can speak on his behalf.Santa Clara County cold case investigators say they used DNA technology linked to family tree genealogy, the same investigative process that led to the arrest and guilty plea of the Golden State Killer in Sunnyvale2018. police Detective Matt Hutchison said he arrested Ramirez, a man with a bad hip who appeared so shocked he could say little more than, “Oh my Ramirez,gosh.”a retired bug exterminator, had no criminal record, police say. His older brother, Rudy Ramirez, who also lives in Maui, said he can’t imag ine that his younger brother would be capable of such a horrific crime. “I’ve never seen him violent or get angry ever,” Ramirez’s brother told the newspaper. “He wouldn’t hurt a Threefly.”years ago, Hutchison teamed up with a genealogist who narrowed the DNA down to four brothers. Hutchison then sought out one of Gary Ramirez’s children and collected a DNA sample, which showed a high probability that the suspect was their father, he said. After that, authorities used a search warrant to swab Gary Ramirez’s mouth for a DNA sample, which a crime lab confirmed matched the DNA found at the crime scene. When he opened the email with the DNA match, “I wanted to scream, but I can’t because I didn’t want to wake up the hotel,” Hutchinson said. “So I just took a moment to reflect.” He opened up his laptop and clicked on the photo of Karen. “I took a quick glance at her photo,” he said, “and I just told her, ‘We did it.’”

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S SUDOKU TO YESTERDAY’S CROSSWORD
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Social plans have been on your mind. You’ll finally be motivated to really make it happen. Spending time in the same room with people you enjoy will be key to all kinds of health including emotional, mental and physical.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can balance a lot, but not everything. What are you willing to cut? Once you let a thing go, it will return to circulation, and someone else will get it and be very happy for the acquisition.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Honesty is only the best policy when it is also necessary and kind. The gracious leave much unsaid. You’ve a talent for focusing the conversation in a way that makes everyone feel accepted.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The goodwill you’re building will be there whenever you need it. But even when you don’t need it, you constantly benefit from the good vibes that have become a natural part of your personal atmosphere.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When volunteers are needed, you’re in! An act of generosity will connect you with fellow giving hearts. An auspicious relationship will come out of this. Later, you’ll look back and realize it was all because you raised your hand.
Your new solar year opens with the buzz of excitement in your personal life. You’ll be a key player in a big event, and you’ll be in constant action as you get ready for it. The muses favor you with excellent ideas that you’ll sell most persuasively. You’re always serving the other person, and yet you get what you want. Scorpio and Libra adore you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 10) HOROSCOPES PUZZLES
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When it comes to happiness, humans can be poor predictors of what will induce the state. Even so, you’ll defy the odds and choose so well that your smile will become a more permanent fixture of your face.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Counterintuitively, displays of pride can signal a lack of self-confidence. The truly confident don’t have to show off. You’ll feel a quiet satisfaction in an outcome you created and absolutely no drive to post about it on the internet.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are those who will say that you’re asking for too much just because it’s more or different from what they would ask for. The only way to know what’s possible is to try. Don’t let others impose their worldviews on you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be the recipient of surprising if not uncomfortable generosity. Will accepting put you in their debt? Or is this a gesture to even a score? Find out exactly what expectations are in play.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Whether it’s more sleep, different food or less stress, you’ll figure out how raise your energy level so you can move dynamically through the scene. This and more clarity means a greater ability to attract what you want.
SOLUTIONS

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even as you stand in your truth, you are well aware there are many other truths in the same situation. Respecting other people’s point of view, you’ll be able to see more than those who are stuck in one narrow line of sight.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The perfect response has often popped to mind after the fact, sometimes hours or even years later. That’s why today, when the perfect response falls off the tip of your tongue, right on the beat, it’s all the more satisfying.
