IT IS SOMETHING I WILL NEVER FORGET.

HE SAID I REMEMBER YOU.

I WILL NEVER FORGET HIS WORDS.

SHE SAYS I JUST FELT A HUG AND IT WAS LIKE AM I DREAMING?

I AM DREAMING.

NO.

THE GOVERNOR IS HERE.

HE HAD VETOED A SIMILAR BILL BEFORE.

THEY SAY HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT CHANGED.

>> I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT HE SIGNED IT AFTER SAYING THAT HE WOULDN'T SUPPORT IT IN ITS CURRENT ITERATION.

HE VETOED VIRTUALLY THE SAME BILL LAST YEAR.

NOTHING CHANGED.

>> THERE WAS ONE CHANGE.

HE MADE A DEAL WITH LEADERS TO ELIMINATE MAIL-IN BALLOTS NEXT YEAR.

>> WHICH WAS OUR FEAR ALL ALONG.

NOW WE ARE DOWN TO CARD CHECK.

>> THAT GIVES THEM AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.

>> IF THEY GET A SIMPLE MAJORITY TO AGREE TO SIGN THAT CARD THEY ARE UNIONIZED WITHOUT EVEN TALKING TO 100% OF THE EMPLOYEES.

>> HE SAYS HE VALUES THE EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE BEEN WITH THEM FOR AS LONG AS HE HAS BEEN FARMING AND HE GIVES THEM REGULAR RAISES AND GOOD BENEFITS.

SHE HAS LIVED THERE FOR DECADES AND LOVES THE COMMUNITY OF FELLOW IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES.

>> I GREW UP THERE AS WELL.

>> NOW SHE IS WORRIED MORE OF HER FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS WILL BE FORCED TO MOVE AS EMERGENCY COVID-19 TENANTS PROTECTIONS ARE SET TO PHASE OUT SEPTEMBER 30.

>> NOW THEY ARE GETTING THAT BECAUSE OF THE PROTECTION.

EVERYONE IS MOVING OUT AND BEING DISPLACED.

>> THIS IS THE POLICY ASSOCIATE.

SHE WANTS AN EXTENSION OF TENANT PROTECTIONS AND IS URGING THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE ACTION.

>> IT MEANS MANY FAMILIES CAN DO EVERYTHING RIGHT AND STILL BE AT RISK FOR INFECTION.

THEY CREATE A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES.

>> ONE IT IS EXPIRED THEY CAN REQUIRE THEM TO PROVIDE REASONS BEFORE TERMINATING THE LEASE WITH A RENTER WHO HAS LIVED AT A PROPERTY OVER TWO YEARS.

THE CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT SAYS HE SUBMITTED A POTENTIAL UPDATE FOR THE ORDINANCE TO THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

>> ANY PROTECTION THAT GOES AWAY MAKES IT EASIER FOR THEM TO BE EVICTED IS ONE THAT CREATES VULNERABILITY.

>> WE ARE HOPING IT WILL PROVIDE STRONGER PROTECTIONS FOR OUR LOW INCOME AND ELDERLY TENANTS.

SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS AND ALLOW THEM THE RIGHT TO RELOCATION PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT THAT THEY ARE EVICTED.

>> CURRENT STATE LAW LIMITS INCREASES AT 10%.

WELL THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT THEY SAY LANDLORDS HAVE ALSO FACED DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.

>> WE COULD NOT EVEN DO THAT IF THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY BAD ACTOR ON A PROPERTY.

THEY HAVE REALLY RISEN TO THIS.

>> THEY WANT SOLUTIONS FOR STRUGGLING RENTERS, BUT STAND AGAINST ANY FORM OF THE PROTECTIONS.

>> THIS WILL NOT RESULT IN AN AVALANCHE OF PEOPLE GETTING THE NOTICES FOR NO REASON.

JUST CAUSE IS JUST CAUSE.

IF THEY NEED TO MOVE INTO A PROPERTY THEY NEED TO MOVE INTO A PROPERTY.

IF THEY NEED TO SELL BECAUSE THEY CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO SUPPORT THE PROPERTY THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

>> TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, BUT IT COULD BE A WHILE BEFORE IT CAN BE ENACTED.

WITH THE RISING COST OF LIVING THAT IS PUSHING MANY TENANTS OVER THE EDGE.

>> THE UPDATED ORDINANCE WOULD CLOSE LOOPHOLES THAT THEY CAN USE TO WRONGFULLY EVICT FAMILIES AND WOULD ALSO REQUIRE THEM TO PROVIDE RELOCATION ASSISTANCE TO TENANTS WHO FACE EVICTIONS.>>> CALIFORNIA REGULARS DO NOT APPEAR READY TO UNVEIL THESE TODAY.

THE COMMISSION HAS A SELF- IMPOSED DEADLINE TO ISSUE A DECISION 90 DAYS AFTER THE CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT ON AN ISSUE.

THAT DAY IS TODAY.

SOLAR ADVOCATE SAYS THE THAT PLAN INCLUDED RECURRING CHARGES AND/THE VALUE OF ELECTRICITY PRODUCED ON ROOFTOPS.

>> THERE WAS A BIG PUBLIC OUTCRY.

THE GOVERNOR EVEN WEIGHED IN AND SAID THIS IS NOT QUITE RIGHT.

THEY PUT THE PAUSE BUTTON ON.

>> THEY ARE NOT BOUND BY LAW TO UNVEIL THE PLAN NOW BUT WOULD BUCK THEIR OWN PRESIDENT IF THEY DON'T.

>> THEY ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE.

>> THAT IS WHERE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COMES IN.

A GRANT WILL GO TO FARMERS IN CALIFORNIA TO DEVELOP OR CONTINUE USING MORE ECO- FRIENDLY FARMING STRATEGIES LIKE LOWERING WATER USAGE AND CAPTURING CARBON.

>> WE ARE HELPING TO IMPROVE THE GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS AS A WHOLE FOR EVERYONE AROUND US.

IS >> ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TRACTORS AND CROPS ARE GREAT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, BUT TOUGH ON THEIR POCKETS.

THE GRANT MONEY WILL HELP.

>> IT WILL REALLY HELP DRIVE AND CREATE THE INDUSTRY.
