It was one of the biggest gaffes of the presidential campaign, but \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=3671669-NPR-Ipsos-Tax-Poll\">a new poll conducted by Ipsos for NPR\u003c/a> suggests that many Americans forgot it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way Romney characterized those who don't pay federal income taxes is what got him in trouble, but the figure was roughly true. The new poll, however, shows that a majority think that the share of Americans paying no federal income tax is far lower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll gave respondents four options — 39 percent said that only 11 percent of Americans pay zero or negative income tax, and 31 percent said that only 27 percent pay zero or negative income tax. Only 21 percent got it right — right now, around 45 percent pay no federal income tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll, released the day before Americans' taxes are due, delved into what Americans know and what they believe is wrong with the U.S. tax code — and what they know is limited and at times contradictory. But this isn't just about pointing out what Americans know and don't know. Rather, there could be important policy implications for Americans' misperceptions about the tax system. For example, this question dovetails with questions about what people think the lowest-income Americans' tax rate \u003cem>should\u003c/em> be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Americans underestimate the share of Americans who don't pay federal income taxes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given four choices of how many Americans pay zero or negative federal income taxes (11, 27, 45, or 63 percent), fully 70 percent of poll respondents chose the options \u003cem>under \u003c/em>the correct answer, which was 45 percent. Some of these people simply have no taxable income, and others get money back as a result of refundable tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit.

In addition, 60 percent of Americans believe taxes should be lowered for people making $49,000 or less (again, with Democrats and independents being somewhat more likely than Republicans to say those taxes should be lowered).\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">[TaxCode4]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Taking these two ideas together — that people (mistakenly) think very few of their fellow Americans pay zero federal income tax, and that a majority of Americans think low-income people pay too much in income tax — there are a couple of possible conclusions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is that if more Americans knew how many others do not end up paying federal income taxes, they would say tax rates should stay the same or even be raised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then again, it's possible that Americans nevertheless would think their poorest fellow citizens do need more money, regardless of how the current tax code looks. That might mean they would advocate expanding the EITC or other tax breaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When it comes to taxes paid by the rich, things get complicated.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We posed the following statement to people as a true or false question: \"For the highest earners, the percent of federal income taxes they pay now is significantly higher than it was in 1980.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">[TaxCode1]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>In retrospect, there are multiple ways to interpret this question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If \"percent\" is taken as \"rate\" here, the answer is \"false.\" In 1980, the top marginal income tax rate was \u003ca href=\"http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/statistics/historical-highest-marginal-income-tax-rates\">70 percent\u003c/a>. Today, it's 39.6 percent (something about half of Americans know, per our poll).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if \"percent\" is taken as \"share\" here, the answer is \"true.\" That is, the share of federal income tax revenue that the richest Americans pay \u003ca href=\"https://files.taxfoundation.org/legacy/docs/TF_FF491_Summary%20of%20the%20Latest%20Federal%20Income%20Tax%20Data%2C_2015%20Update.pdf\">has gone up since 1980\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How does that work? As the Tax Policy Center's Roberton Williams explained to NPR, the share of income going to the rich has climbed in a big way over the last few decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how Americans think about this could affect what they think should happen to the top tax rates on the richest. In 1980, the top 10 percent brought in 32 percent of all adjusted gross income, according to the Tax Foundation. \u003ca href=\"https://files.taxfoundation.org/legacy/docs/TF_FF491_Summary%20of%20the%20Latest%20Federal%20Income%20Tax%20Data%2C_2015%20Update.pdf\">In 2013\u003c/a>, it was 46 percent. For example, many Americans also believe taxes should be raised on the richest. The top tax bracket starts at \u003ca href=\"https://taxfoundation.org/2017-tax-brackets/\">$418,400\u003c/a> right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll shows that 70 percent of Americans believe taxes should be raised on people making $250,000 to just under $1 million, and that 75 percent believe they should be raised on people making $1 million or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's already a sizable majority, but depending on whether people knew tax rates on the richest had indeed fallen (or, alternately, that the rich now pay a higher share in taxes), it could change what they think should happen to those marginal rates. (Of course, it's also possible that historical rates wouldn't affect their views at all.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those views differ widely by party; Democrats are much more likely to believe that taxes should be raised on the rich than Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Americans also appear to have strong views on how people earn their money. We asked people to what degree they agreed with this statement: \"The tax rate on income from work should be lower than the tax rate on income from wealth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">[TaxCode2]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Across the board, regardless of party, Americans agreed — 75 percent said they did, including 77 percent of Democrats, 71 percent of Republicans and 84 percent of independents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is another result that might make the richest Americans squirm. The rich tend to earn their income in a different way from most other Americans. Besides paychecks, many make money from \u003ca href=\"http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-are-capital-gains-taxed\">capital gains\u003c/a> — income they get from selling investments like stocks. Most of those capital gains are taxed at a rate far below that top income tax rate. (People at any income level of course can have those kinds of investments, but capital gains are \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2014/11/25/7280309/the-rich-are-getting-richer-but-it-has-nothing-to-do-with-their\">overwhelmingly concentrated\u003c/a> at the top of the income spectrum.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The top rate that the highest-income Americans will pay on most capital gains is 20 percent, around half the top marginal rate for ordinary income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Americans overestimate how important income taxes are to government revenue\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About half of the poll's respondents (with very little variance by party) said they believe 75 percent of the federal government's revenue comes from personal income taxes. In reality, it's \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbpp.org/research/policy-basics-where-do-federal-tax-revenues-come-from\">just under half\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">[TaxCode5]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Of all the taxes Americans pay, income tax probably requires the most thought. After all, payroll tax comes automatically out of each paycheck. Sales tax is imposed at the cash register. And so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So maybe it makes sense that Americans think all that work they put into filling out their forms ends up doing the lion's share of funding the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>What else we learned\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Beyond all this, there were a few more fascinating findings in the poll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Phrasing matters.\u003c/strong> One thing we learned is that using the phrase \"death tax\" instead of \"estate tax\" seems to make people more opposed to that tax — but, interestingly, that effect appears to be by far largest among Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sixty-five percent of all people said the \"estate tax\" should be abolished, compared to 76 percent who said the \"death tax\" should be. However, among Democrats that swing was far larger: only half said they wanted to abolish the \"estate tax,\" but 71 percent said the same of the \"death tax.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">[TaxCode6]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>The estate tax affects \u003ca href=\"http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-many-people-pay-estate-tax\">fewer than 1 in 500\u003c/a> estates. Many opponents of the estate tax — \u003ca href=\"http://thehill.com/policy/finance/238862-both-parties-fired-up-over-vote-on-estate-tax-repeal\">who have tended to be\u003c/a> Republicans — use \"death tax\" as a euphemism. This shows that to the extent that phrasing helps them, it could be helping them pick people up across the aisle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On tax policy, views aren't always all that partisan. \u003c/strong>Democrats are often seen as the party that wants a more progressive system — Hillary Clinton, for example, ran for president in 2016 with a tax plan that would have \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2016/03/04/hillary_clinton_s_tax_plan_is_really_progressive.html\">ramped up taxes\u003c/a> for the ultra-rich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in our poll, nearly half of Democrats — 45 percent — agreed with the proposition that \"federal income taxes should be cut for all income levels.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Likewise, Republicans — the party that has spoken of \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/07/16/takers-just-as-likely-to-vote-republican-as-makers-data-show/?utm_term=.68836cf97a6f\">\"makers\" and \"takers\"\u003c/a> — were split roughly evenly on the idea that tax cuts for the wealthy lead to economic growth. (Democrats and independents tended to disagree — that is, to say that tax cuts for the wealthy do \u003cem>not \u003c/em>lead to that growth.) Incidentally, it's not at all clear that this is true; \u003ca href=\"http://www.parisschoolofeconomics.eu/docs/ydepot/semin/texte1112/STA2012OPT.pdf\">one recent comparison\u003c/a> of tax rates and growth rates across advanced economies found no strong linkage between the two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are only two examples, but they suggest that partisan messaging in Washington on some specific issues doesn't necessarily filter down to Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Americans agree: Taxes are too complicated (but that's no reason to cheat). \u003c/strong>There are a few more areas where Americans tend to agree across party lines: nearly 9 in 10 believe the tax code is too complicated, three-quarters say it's not OK for people to underreport income on their taxes, and 77 percent say their own personal federal income taxes are too high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, 72 percent knew that taxes are due on April 18. For those remaining 28 percent, it might be time to file that extension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The poll was conducted online on April 11-12, with a sample of 1,010 adults age 18 or older. For all respondents, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. The credibility interval is plus or minus 5.7 percentage points for Democrats, plus or minus 6.1 percentage points for Republicans, and plus or minus 8.3 percentage points for independents.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So maybe it makes sense that Americans think all that work they put into filling out their forms ends up doing the lion's share of funding the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>What else we learned\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Beyond all this, there were a few more fascinating findings in the poll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Phrasing matters.\u003c/strong> One thing we learned is that using the phrase \"death tax\" instead of \"estate tax\" seems to make people more opposed to that tax — but, interestingly, that effect appears to be by far largest among Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sixty-five percent of all people said the \"estate tax\" should be abolished, compared to 76 percent who said the \"death tax\" should be. However, among Democrats that swing was far larger: only half said they wanted to abolish the \"estate tax,\" but 71 percent said the same of the \"death tax.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">[TaxCode6]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>The estate tax affects \u003ca href=\"http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-many-people-pay-estate-tax\">fewer than 1 in 500\u003c/a> estates. Many opponents of the estate tax — \u003ca href=\"http://thehill.com/policy/finance/238862-both-parties-fired-up-over-vote-on-estate-tax-repeal\">who have tended to be\u003c/a> Republicans — use \"death tax\" as a euphemism. This shows that to the extent that phrasing helps them, it could be helping them pick people up across the aisle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On tax policy, views aren't always all that partisan. \u003c/strong>Democrats are often seen as the party that wants a more progressive system — Hillary Clinton, for example, ran for president in 2016 with a tax plan that would have \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2016/03/04/hillary_clinton_s_tax_plan_is_really_progressive.html\">ramped up taxes\u003c/a> for the ultra-rich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in our poll, nearly half of Democrats — 45 percent — agreed with the proposition that \"federal income taxes should be cut for all income levels.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Likewise, Republicans — the party that has spoken of \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/07/16/takers-just-as-likely-to-vote-republican-as-makers-data-show/?utm_term=.68836cf97a6f\">\"makers\" and \"takers\"\u003c/a> — were split roughly evenly on the idea that tax cuts for the wealthy lead to economic growth. (Democrats and independents tended to disagree — that is, to say that tax cuts for the wealthy do \u003cem>not \u003c/em>lead to that growth.) Incidentally, it's not at all clear that this is true; \u003ca href=\"http://www.parisschoolofeconomics.eu/docs/ydepot/semin/texte1112/STA2012OPT.pdf\">one recent comparison\u003c/a> of tax rates and growth rates across advanced economies found no strong linkage between the two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are only two examples, but they suggest that partisan messaging in Washington on some specific issues doesn't necessarily filter down to Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Americans agree: Taxes are too complicated (but that's no reason to cheat). \u003c/strong>There are a few more areas where Americans tend to agree across party lines: nearly 9 in 10 believe the tax code is too complicated, three-quarters say it's not OK for people to underreport income on their taxes, and 77 percent say their own personal federal income taxes are too high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, 72 percent knew that taxes are due on April 18. For those remaining 28 percent, it might be time to file that extension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The poll was conducted online on April 11-12, with a sample of 1,010 adults age 18 or older. For all respondents, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. The credibility interval is plus or minus 5.7 percentage points for Democrats, plus or minus 6.1 percentage points for Republicans, and plus or minus 8.3 percentage points for independents.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"title": "Will Democrats Get Another Supermajority Vote That Could Raise Gas Prices?",
"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>The power of the California Democratic Party's supermajority was mightily tested last Thursday, with the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/06/in-big-win-for-gov-brown-state-legislature-oks-major-transportation-plan/\" target=\"_blank\">nail-biting passage\u003c/a> of a $52 billion transportation package that will add 12 cents to the price of gasoline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What does that bode for the other big lift coming up in the Legislature, the reauthorization of the state's landmark climate change legislation, cap and trade? The carbon auction system \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2017/04/06/appeals-court-upholds-californias-cap-trade-plan/\" target=\"_blank\">survived a court challenge\u003c/a> Thursday -- with the California appeals court affirming the legality of the program -- but it’s an open question whether cap and trade can survive a bruising political battle and the likelihood of tacking on more to the price of gas at the pump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"1jWS9bhppGSpPwGRlbcFaz7xyZWuSgY4\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transportation bill was a squeaker, passing with a bare minimum of votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Last-minute concessions dragged the package over the line, but at the cost of exhaustion and, for some, distasteful compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If an infrastructure funding bill is such a difficult sell, what does that mean for the future of cap and trade, which will require another two-thirds vote to pass?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any two-thirds vote is difficult,” said Sen. Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont), who chairs the Senate Environmental Quality Committee. “With cap and trade, since 25 percent of money goes to disadvantaged communities, it’s a little lighter lift versus transportation package. That said, it’s still two-thirds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of cap and trade are seeking a supermajority vote this year to affirm the program’s legal standing and eliminate doubts that have reduced participation in the state’s carbon market, which has allowed companies to trade permits at auction since 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Z5pjlA80AKoR1w4dzxkhMOhdTwUTLYOx\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original law, AB 32, has a 2020 deadline for meeting its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels, and that has opened questions as to whether it can operate past that date. Critics say that the law is a an illegal tax because it passed with a simple majority vote. A two-thirds vote to extend the program would resolve both questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court also settled the tax point, although there are other potential legal challenges ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators are still discussing whether to extend AB 32 as it exists or to shape an entirely new bill, possibly with an emphasis on environmental justice issues. There are varying versions of what a new or rejiggered cap-and-trade program might look like -- continuing the carbon auctions or converting to a carbon tax. Those developments are open-ended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if the program is extended in its current form, the price of allowances could greatly increase, according to a nonpartisan analysis. Depending on allowance prices, the cost of gas could rise from 15 to 73 cents per gallon by 2031, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/letters/2017/fong-fuels-cap-and-trade.pdf\">Legislative Analyst’s Office\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators are understandably sensitive to a dramatic hike in gasoline prices, a core pocketbook issue for voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Ted Gaines (R-El Dorado), who voted against the transportation bill, said permanent gas taxes hurt the most vulnerable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"VjcX5hmorfoHWguJ21jnotxrTIhrGcwb\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There seems to be some confusion in the Legislature about the war on poverty,” Gaines said in a statement. “We should be fighting to end it, not create it. But with this new gas tax we will be serving up poverty by the gallon to millions of families and businesses around the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any event, cap and trade lived to fight another day, thanks to a 2-1 ruling from the 3\u003csup>rd\u003c/sup> District Court of Appeal in Sacramento, which agreed with the state Air Resources Board that it has the authority to regulate polluters. The years-long case had clouded the future of cap and trade, with sluggish interest in the state’s auctions. The February \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auction/feb-2017/summary_results_report.pdf\">quarterly allowance auction\u003c/a> was another bust, with just 16.5 percent of the emission allowances sold. The next auction is in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Analysts say that the future for cap and trade will not be truly assured until it is enshrined in law and not subject to continual legal challenges. Gov. Jerry Brown has asked the Legislature to reauthorize the program with a two-thirds vote, but even the Democrat-heavy statehouse is not committing to anything. Yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The carbon auction system \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2017/04/06/appeals-court-upholds-californias-cap-trade-plan/\" target=\"_blank\">survived a court challenge\u003c/a> Thursday -- with the California appeals court affirming the legality of the program -- but it’s an open question whether cap and trade can survive a bruising political battle and the likelihood of tacking on more to the price of gas at the pump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transportation bill was a squeaker, passing with a bare minimum of votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Last-minute concessions dragged the package over the line, but at the cost of exhaustion and, for some, distasteful compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If an infrastructure funding bill is such a difficult sell, what does that mean for the future of cap and trade, which will require another two-thirds vote to pass?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont), who chairs the Senate Environmental Quality Committee. “With cap and trade, since 25 percent of money goes to disadvantaged communities, it’s a little lighter lift versus transportation package. That said, it’s still two-thirds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of cap and trade are seeking a supermajority vote this year to affirm the program’s legal standing and eliminate doubts that have reduced participation in the state’s carbon market, which has allowed companies to trade permits at auction since 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original law, AB 32, has a 2020 deadline for meeting its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels, and that has opened questions as to whether it can operate past that date. Critics say that the law is a an illegal tax because it passed with a simple majority vote. A two-thirds vote to extend the program would resolve both questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court also settled the tax point, although there are other potential legal challenges ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators are still discussing whether to extend AB 32 as it exists or to shape an entirely new bill, possibly with an emphasis on environmental justice issues. There are varying versions of what a new or rejiggered cap-and-trade program might look like -- continuing the carbon auctions or converting to a carbon tax. Those developments are open-ended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if the program is extended in its current form, the price of allowances could greatly increase, according to a nonpartisan analysis. Depending on allowance prices, the cost of gas could rise from 15 to 73 cents per gallon by 2031, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/letters/2017/fong-fuels-cap-and-trade.pdf\">Legislative Analyst’s Office\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators are understandably sensitive to a dramatic hike in gasoline prices, a core pocketbook issue for voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Ted Gaines (R-El Dorado), who voted against the transportation bill, said permanent gas taxes hurt the most vulnerable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There seems to be some confusion in the Legislature about the war on poverty,” Gaines said in a statement. “We should be fighting to end it, not create it. But with this new gas tax we will be serving up poverty by the gallon to millions of families and businesses around the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any event, cap and trade lived to fight another day, thanks to a 2-1 ruling from the 3\u003csup>rd\u003c/sup> District Court of Appeal in Sacramento, which agreed with the state Air Resources Board that it has the authority to regulate polluters. The years-long case had clouded the future of cap and trade, with sluggish interest in the state’s auctions. The February \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auction/feb-2017/summary_results_report.pdf\">quarterly allowance auction\u003c/a> was another bust, with just 16.5 percent of the emission allowances sold. The next auction is in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Analysts say that the future for cap and trade will not be truly assured until it is enshrined in law and not subject to continual legal challenges. Gov. Jerry Brown has asked the Legislature to reauthorize the program with a two-thirds vote, but even the Democrat-heavy statehouse is not committing to anything. Yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We just need to get somebody in there.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farm bureau was initially supportive of Tom Vilsack, the former USDA secretary under former President Obama.

Sonny Perdue to be Secretary of Agriculture in January, but his confirmation was delayed when ethical concerns about his business ties emerged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that time, agricultural groups have had no line in to the White House, according to California Farm Bureau president Paul Wenger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The folks aren’t there to talk to,” Wenger said in an interview Thursday. “Nobody really knows how to get a hold and to weigh in on issues. We just need to get somebody in there.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farm bureau was initially supportive of Tom Vilsack, the former USDA secretary under former President Obama. Vilsack visited California many times and several top officials at the department came from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

While labor advocates and California lawmakers backed a new law passed last summer, the industry was opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perdue understands the issues that California farmers face, Wenger said. Just like Georgia, the Golden State relies on immigrant labor for agricultural work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perdue has moderate views on trade and immigration. Politico pointed out that \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/trump-will-pick-sonny-perdue-to-lead-agriculture-233820\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">those views are not entirely in line with Trump’s\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/03/08/trump-immigration-policies-could-hurt-california-economists-warn/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report \u003c/a>from the UCLA Anderson Forecast found that the new administration’s stricter immigration policies could particularly affect the estimated 840,000 people in the state’s agricultural industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another industry group, Western Growers, which represents local and regional family farmers in California, applauded the committee’s vote and touched on the same theme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We trust that secretary-designate Perdue will pursue a resolution to one of our industry’s greatest needs, ensuring that immigration reform — one that works for all of agriculture — remains a top priority for the president,” said Tom Nassif, the organization’s president and CEO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local environmental groups are not happy Perdue’s road to the White House cabinet is now moving smoothly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erich Pica, president of the Berkeley-based Friends of the Earth, called Perdue’s confirmation hearing impossibly short and easy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The committee failed to properly scrutinize Perdue’s record, Pica said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Allowing the Trump administration to smoothly confirm a nominee dogged by ethics complaints and vexed with deep personal ties to big agribusiness is reprehensible,” Pica said. “Perdue’s inability to separate business and politics make him unfit to serve and we hope Democrats will not turn a blind eye to his ethics.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perdue’s confirmation hearing came after \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/03/22/agriculture-secretary-nominee-sonny-perdue-senate-confirmation-hearing/99457310/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he reached an agreement with the Office of Government Ethics\u003c/a> to avoid conflicts of interest. As governor of Georgia, he was criticized for refusing to place his assets in a blind trust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the deal he is \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-03-12/usda-pick-perdue-cutting-business-ties-but-keeping-real-estate\">cutting ties to his farming business,\u003c/a> but keeping his real estate investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Special Relevance For Californians\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The USDA runs a food safety division that came under scrutiny in the Bay Area after the 2014 nationwide meat recall involving the now-defunct, Petaluma-based Rancho Feeding Corp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recall led the department’s Office of Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/22/feds-toughen-meat-inspections-in-wake-of-petaluma-slaughterhouse-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to hire more full-time inspectors\u003c/a> to keep tabs on meat-processing plants across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Food safety advocates who pushed for stricter enforcement of slaughterhouse regulations due to the Rancho recall are cautiously optimistic about Perdue, who is a trained veterinarian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On his resume, he comes in with a food safety background,” said Tony Corbo, senior lobbyist at Food & Water Watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Trump’s budget calls for a $4.7 billion cut in the USDA’s budget, the president’s spending plan does not make cuts to the FSIS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s one glimmer of hope,” Corbo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has not yet nominated someone to be the FSIS under-secretary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A better picture of the new administration’s views on food safety should come once that person has been named and the president’s more detailed spending plan emerges in the coming months, Corbo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another agency under the USDA that has increased its work in California is the U.S. Forest Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency has managed public land in California for more than a century. In recent years, large sections of national forestland in the state have been charred by massive wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re one of the very largest land owners in California,” said Susie Kocher, a natural resources adviser and registered professional forester for the University of California’s Cooperative Extension in the Central Sierra. “What they do has always been really important to local communities and the state economy as a whole.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s budget makes no cuts to the department’s funds for wildland fire preparedness and firefighting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kocher said she hopes Perdue makes reforms to federal forest management including tree thinning and prescribed burns “to keep our forests more resilient and healthy so they can withstand wildfire and drought.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the years-long dry spell, more than a 100 million trees died across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re really dealing with a crisis in forest health,” Kocher said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
