of california.they want to break off and be in their own state called jefferson. they want to be jeffersonians. since donald trump was elected president, not hillary clinton, but donald trump, certain pockets of liberals in california have started to talk texas style by seceding. but they don't want to secede from california. they want california to secede from the united states. they're calling it calexit, like brexit but west coast lefty style. i don't think they actually would like to take the right wing jeffersonians when they seceded, but presumably that would be up for negotiation once the articles of confederacy are filed. the jeffersonians and everybody else in that huge state they are all lumped together in what is a definitely blue state, hillary clinton won california nearly 2-1. california in that same election also just elected the nation's second ever african-american female u.s. senator in camilla harris. they won't supermajorities in the california legislature. californians voted to

in 2011, the california innocent of tax force identified more than 27,000 california national guard cases that were potentially linked to the unethical management of the incentives program between 2004 234d 201 and 2011. with assistance from the national guard bureau, they established a soldier incentive assistance center to assist about california national guard member affected by the mismanagement of the incentives program. every california national guard soldier impacted received a formal written letter to inform them of this option. this center will continue to provide assistance to each affected soldier. as a result of the issues with the california incentives program, the army national guard took numerous steps to improve orphsight within our incentives process. the chief of the national guard bureau, then general craig mckinesley, ordered a review of all army national guard recruiting and retention incentives across all states, territories and the district of columbia which found no systemic fraud. in 2012, the army national guard completed the fielding of the guard incentive manag

yes, california is saying that california is the most diverse place in the world. and that we want to have more minorities, more immigrants, more international connection. and essentially reject the values espoused by the confederacy and whatever state formed it texas vs. white which is the only federal supreme court case ever in america's to look at secession they said you can't do that but you can and this is the literal phrase in that court case that you won't see repeated in the news for whatever reason. i'm sure it's an accident is that states literally can leave through con sents of the states. consent of the states is in there. >> i think that's all true. i guess, in reading your materials, you say that basically it's an ideological move. this has accelerated since the' election of trump. you want to move out and make it utopia. immigration is one of the issues that you mentioned. would you open the southern border with mexico. why? and let all of central america, to the extent it already hasn't move to california? would you have any closed bshed at all and

yes, california says that is much more than the state's fair share. the group needs half a million signatures to qualify for the ballot in 2018. hadean believes that cal exit is a real exit but the political analysts brian sobbal is not confident. he puts the chances of california leaving the union at zero. >> it would be anticipated that it would be challenged up to the supreme court. probably would need 2/3 ratification from other states in the union. >> california is a huge engine for the united states. and the other states would say you can leave and go off on your own is not only unlikely but incredibly improbable. >> the founder of california lives and works in russia announced the opening of an office in russia saying today the independent california opens in moscow saying there's a value in showcasing california's economic power. even if the effort ultimately fails. i think the fact that we would rather be independent gives people thought on both sides. >>> state water officials are on the fence about whether to call an end to the drought desp

now the state capital of california. eventually, one of the previous lecturers, they have been moving into texas even though it was still in mexican territory. in the same way, and american settlers have moving into california even though it was next in territory. one of them set up a trading fort. and there it is, in the upper picture. very different than a shop. is aact that it is a fort sign of how politically volatile the area was. he was expecting to be robbed and attacked and so we took precautions against that. one of the things he wanted to sell was lumber. but the lumber would come from the foothills in the sierra mountains, east of sacramento. , ofso one of his assistants the american river, up to a place called for loma and asked him to design and build a mill. and this is the place where the american river is flowing fast enough that the water can turn a waterwheel and the water is attached to blades so the lumber could be brought there and then send further down the river to the fort itself. and one of the t

in california. host: this is from bethlehem, pennsylvania. larry. caller: i would like to state that the united states was formed to form a union. in the union all people should be considered equally. irishmen fought every state should get one vote and the district of columbia should get one vote but after listening to the talk on the show i feel it would be better if every state got three votes and the district of columbia to three votes and that way they could be proportional. you have to win at least a third of the vote in order to get the proportion. i go back to the election with al gore. everyone says it was too close in florida. my answer to that is if al gore would have won his home state where people know him the best he would have been president. if you can't win 26% of the states -- 51% of the states, 25 states plus the district of columbia, you should not be president. mr. hulme: that's an interesting theory. basically taking the structure of the u.s. senate and transporting it to how th

for the cases that had been identified to us by the california national guard. that included the cases that we had internal to defast where we're recruiting from their military pay as well as any voluntary repayments that were under way as well as any cases we turned over to the treasury for recruitment. and that would include the category of private collection agencies. also we took action to rescind any reporting to the credit bureau reportings. so those cases identified by the california national guard to us, those credit ratings have been restored as if that never occurred. >> thank you very much. >> this is the one thing i would like to add in terms of one week. there are a handful of cases that lag the one week only because we had trouble identifying the individual involved. we had mistaken social security numbers that we were trying to clean up as we went along. >> okay, thank you, ms. davis. >> thank you mr. chairman, thank you for being here. of all the attempts suggested and some in the legislation that you have been working on is there an area that yo

i practiced in california but not exclusively in california.y clients are throughout the countryzv but certainly more ar on the west coast. so the trend setter was oregon and we have someone here from compassion and choices in it, you can also chat with him. so the first was called the act. it took effect in 1998÷ú and it was a voter initiative. and interestingly, the oregon law was actually considered by the united states supreme court becauseu! then attorney general ash kroft was trying to prosecute both pharmacies and physicians who were participating and that's the zv magic, participating -- who are participating under the oregon law. and the supreme court determined that the controlled÷ú substance act could not be used to delegit mate a state standard of health care, kind of a states right issue. i dent think the supreme court was interested in commenting on the substance of the law. but that kind of got it interesting. followed by that, was washington, also voter initiative, that took effect in 2009. vermont, 2013 andu! that was actually

this california water rider would further degrade the california delta, weakens protections for california fisheries, threatens thousands of fishing and industrial jobs as we have heard, even up to the coast of oregon, krein hes saltwater intrusion, and picks winners and losers in my state. this provision will provide freedom to export water above and beyond what the e.s.a. currently allows. this will cause further saltwater intrusion into the delta. farmers do not benefit when saltwater contaminates our water supplies. if we truly believe in sound science, we should not override science with local interest that do not represent the entire state. the administration agencies have serious concerns with this language. this rider will not create a path forward for effective operations, but instead will create a firestorm of litigation. environmental organizations, the fishing industry, the fisheries, believe this language will devastate our way of life on the pacific coast. i along with california, oregon, and washington members have urged the house and senate leadership to reject similar ride

glen price, superintendent, california department of education. there was an extension to the rfp. all respondents to the rfp were asked to respond to an rfp indicated that the max cap would be the 1%. also part of that process $100,000 allocated for start up cost for the entity that would become the fiscal agent for the contract. in regards to the turn around time, as a couple of wrinkles that we can dive more into. the $10 million original allocation, the 10.1 covers that and the 5.6 going on. it would do good for the department to do a no cost extension for march 17th and one possibility for you to then consider an rfp process for the additional work going forward. i don't know if you are following me on that, but that's one alternative that you might have. >> okay, thanks. >> on the issue of direct -- or indirect, do you want to cite some examples or indicate if there is a need for clarity. >> my understanding of direct and indirect cost rates, those are rates that all county offices in california have an approved rate and many organizations have audited indirect rates. indirec

don't call it california water. but the fact of the matter is this has not been looked at in any way. and whether it's the money, whether it's what it does to the fishery, no one has really looked -- there hasn't even been a hearing about this specific bill. i know your committee has looked at a lot of ways to help with the drought, and i want to compliment my friend from washington, senator cantwell and senator murkowski. you have come up with real ways to work with every stakeholder and not continue these absurd water wars where we take money away from a fishing industry that is a noble, historic fishing industry. tens of thousands of fishermen who support their families and giving it over to big agribusiness. that is not the way you want to approach the drought, senator. it's not the way i want to approach the drought. and i would never be party to picking a winner and a loser. this is not our job. our job is to, a, make sure there are ways through technology to get more water to the state, and work, all of us to

the voters in california seem pretty happy we've been able to balance you are budgets and be able to grow our economy and at the same time, we have really enforced a strong equivalent eco system throughout san francisco but literally throughout the state and volunteers really doubled down on the efforts efforts in sacramento not only sent most of us back more democrats back but really saying they're proud of the leadership of what is really going on in sacramento i think as we go into uncharged waters and urban charntd teller territory a time we as californians should stay the course and do more of what we do more in san francisco more of what we're doing i recall the efforts about 20 years ago when willie brown, jr. as renovating city hall and how much criticism he got why is this so most money into a government building why really make sure that that building was renovated people called that a waste of money and really didn't see very much value what is interesting today you watch you know when i used to work another city hall i had to fight the tour buses to get if so many people

, nevada, california, colorado and california. i want to address my colleagues' concerns that this bill will allow the next administration to build dams all over the country without any congressional approval, and this is simply not true. so let me set the record straight about how storage projects work under this bill. the drought language here gives congress veto authority through control of appropriations for any storage project. this means that reclamation will do the same rigorous studies it has always done, including feasibility studies and environmental impact statements. reclamation would then submit a list of recommended projects to congress, and congress would decide how to fund them. if congress has concerns, it doesn't fund the project. it's that simple. this will allow federal funding to go to qualified environmentally mitigated and cost-beneficial projects on the same time frame as projects funded under the california state water bond. and that's just common sense. make sure the federal government partners with state
