(SACRAMENTO-CA)Today, Cathedral City Mayor Stan Henry and Mayor Pro-tem Greg Pettis joined Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella) at the State Capitol for a historic vote to designate the city’s LGBT Veterans Memorial as the official LGBT Veterans Memorial of California.
Earlier this year, Garcia and Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham, R-San Luis Obispo, submitted a formal budget letter requesting for $9.2 million to reinstate funding for the California Gang Reduction, Intervention and Prevention (CalGRIP) program. The Governor’s current proposal eliminated allotments for this program.
Garcia added that, “Victim confidentiality is paramount to building positive rapport with public safety officials and ensuring that victims feel safe bringing forward testimony in gang-related cases.”
(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.
