(Sacramento – CA) Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella) has reached across the aisle to engage in several bipartisan policy efforts to prevent gang violence and enhance the overall safety of families and neighborhoods throughout our state.
(Sacramento-CA) Today, the Assembly Committee on Labor and Employment discussed and affirmed its commitment to Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia’s (D-Coachella) bipartisan legislative solution to severe labor shortages devastating our state and national economy. AB 1885 would offer workforce relief to our agriculture and service business sectors by way of a resident worker permit program.
Due to the high unemployment rate and the low average household income, Imperial County has no shortage of eligible areas to be designated opportunity zones.
The county wasted little time sending a request to the governor to include specific areas in the Valley such as Calexico, Brawley, Holtville and the Salton Sea Known Geothermal Resource Area under the program.
Low-income communities have been at the center of Proposition 1, the water quality, supply, and infrastructure improvement act that voters approved in November 2014.
The proposition sought to assure access to previously unissued bonds, set aside for water and wastewater access. In the resulting legislation, an increased focus was placed on involving community members in the planning process and setting aside additional funds for projects targeting water access in what the proposition defines as 'disadvantaged communities.'
(Sacramento – CA) - This week, Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella) successfully ushered out several of his regional economic priority bills through the Jobs, Economic Development, and the Economy (JEDE) Committee.
