But last year's electorate was unusual, the smallest by percentage in state history and one that was more inclined to support Republicans. 2016 will be different, as an open presidential race will undoubtedly draw some of those missing Democrats back to the polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that means more young voters, more voters of lower income brackets and more Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Young, poor, and brown are three characteristics that Republicans have never done well with,\" said Madrid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the Republican presidential slugfest, one where immigration issues have become a flashpoint, that's getting all the attention. Donald Trump, the brash billionaire, has led the charge by \u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-saying-illegal-immigrants-have-to-go-targets-obama-orders-1439738967\" target=\"_blank\">calling for mass deportations of millions of undocumented immigrants\u003c/a> -- a campaign promise at least one GOP candidate in California sees as tantamount to an electoral annihilation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It kills us,\" Assemblyman Rocky Chávez, R-Oceanside, told reporters at the state party convention. The first-term legislator is one of several Republicans who plan to run for the state's open U.S. Senate seat in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've been very active in saying that man [Trump] does not have the character, or the leadership, to be at the top of the ticket,\" said Chávez in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The saga of Latino voters and the state GOP has \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/capitalnotes/2011/09/18/message-or-messenger-california-gop-wrestles-with-answer/\" target=\"_blank\">played out so many times over the years\u003c/a> that it's hard to keep count.

And this weekend, yet another fight is looming over the state party platform and \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/MarcelinoValdezForCRP/posts/898612143564625\" target=\"_blank\">language designed to reshape the official position on illegal immigration\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a number of Republicans interviewed at the weekend state convention said they hope all candidates, on the national level and here in California, focus on what voters really care about -- namely, pocketbook issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I care about jobs and the economy,\" said Shaz Umer, a Republican from Orange County. \"Those are the issues that are most important to myself and to, I think, this country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others at the convention suggested the national campaign is, at worst, a distraction from the real rebuilding work for Republicans in California: winning over voters where they live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're making inroads at the local level,\" said Pat Bush, president of the Orange County Federation of Republican Women. \"You have to start locally and build up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because most local offices in the state are technically nonpartisan, and thus feature candidates running without a party affiliation beside their name, strategist Madrid said it's a playing field where issues are more important than ideology, and Republicans winners outnumber Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you take out the social issues and the [party] brand,\" said Madrid, \"Republicans win on things like government accountability, government transparency, law enforcement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The party's challenge, it seems, is to decide whether the 2016 election cycle offers space for those issues or instead is swamped by the larger national narrative that comes with so many risks for a statewide organization trying hard to outgrow its contentious past.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It's noted as being a favorite tactic of the powerful railroads in the early days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many lawmakers say “gut and amend” gives them the flexibility to adapt to the politics of the moment. But critics say that flexibility comes at the expense of transparency, denying the public a chance to see what its elected representatives are really doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Gut-and-amend bills are tantamount to 'bait-and-switch schemes,\" said Kathay Feng, executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.commoncause.org/states/california/press/press-releases/california-common-cause-calls.html\" target=\"_blank\">California Common Cause\u003c/a>, a nonprofit government watchdog group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The continued use of the gut-and-amend process is, in part, due to the relatively strict deadlines by which legislation must be introduced and then vetted through committees in both houses at the state Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The halfway point of the California Legislature's final sprint for 2015 offered several examples of a long-standing maxim inside the hallways of the state Capitol: The hardest, most controversial proposals are almost always left until the very end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wednesday's debates in the state Assembly and Senate saw dozens of bills with final (or almost final) actions taken by lawmakers. And it saw a major shift on two topics: A concession to the oil industry on the year's biggest climate change legislation, and a delay in finding a solution to long-term funding for California's transportation needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delay on transportation was a clear signal of how tough the issue had become as the end-of-session deadline approached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, told reporters late Wednesday that transportation funding would be pushed over until the fall -- after lawmakers have concluded their regular work -- for a closer look by a to-be-announced special legislative committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"(The state Senate leader) and I will be forming a conference committee to continue to work on transportation, so that we respond to the stakeholders up and down the state -- business, labor, local elected officials, to get that done,\" said Atkins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effort failed to find enough Republicans in the Legislature willing to endorse new taxes or fees to help fund what has been estimated to be a $6 billion annual shortfall in keeping up with road, highway and transit needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, a number of other bills cleared key hurdles, or went to the governor's desk, on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>End-of-Life Choices\u003c/strong>: The day's most intense debate ended with the Assembly \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2015/09/04/physician-assisted-suicide-bill-advances-with-new-sunset-clause/\" target=\"_blank\">approving the closely watched bill\u003c/a> to allow doctors to prescribe life-ending medication, and the proposal now headed to the state Senate. ABX2-15 by Assemblywoman Susan Talamantes Eggman, D-Stockton, was the focus of a floor debate that lasted some two hours. There was no clean split along party lines, with some Democrats opposed and a few Republicans in support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I certainly don't take this lightly,\" said Eggman in her closing remarks, offered while fighting back tears. Other legislators also grew emotional during the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters say it remains unclear whether the bill will next have one final policy committee hearing before the Legislature adjourns Friday night, or whether it heads directly to the Senate floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No Toll For Walking On The Golden Gate Bridge\u003c/strong>: The body overseeing the Golden Gate Bridge may soon be barred from imposing a toll on walkers and bikers, after the Legislature sent the governor\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB40\" target=\"_blank\"> Assembly Bill 40\u003c/a> Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill by San Francisco Democratic Assemblyman Phil Ting, if signed by Brown, would prohibit sidewalk tolls for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the Golden Gate and state-owned toll bridges. The cash-strapped bridge district has twice voted to study such a fee, but Ting sought to tie the ban to the subject du jour in Sacramento: Climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The impact of foot and pedal power cannot be overlooked as we strive to combat climate change. We should not discourage these healthy transportation alternatives by nickel-and-diming people who are part of the solution,” he said in a written statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>State Funded Recounts In Close Elections\u003c/strong>: Lawmakers sent the governor a bill debated now for more than a year, sparked by 2014's close contest in the race for state controller. Assembly Bill 44 by Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco, allows the governor to order a recount in any statewide race (either for a statewide office or a ballot measure) where the gap between second and third place for candidates, or passage and defeat for a ballot measure, is either less than 1,000 votes or 0.00015 of the votes cast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Abortion Clinic Access\u003c/strong>: Legislation to allow independent primary care clinics -- including those that offer abortion services -- to secure a state license cleared the state Senate and headed back for a final vote in the Assembly ... but not before sparking some heated fireworks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Richard Pan, D-Sacramento, said that \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/15-16/bill/asm/ab_1151-1200/ab_1177_cfa_20150908_162020_sen_floor.html\" target=\"_blank\">Assembly Bill 1177\u003c/a> is an attempt to help clinics that can't get a license because no nearby hospital will sign an agreement for transferring patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's become politicized,\" said Pan, a physician. \"Because of that politicization, people have been denied reproductive services.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Republicans accused Democrats of trying to expand these services at a risk to women. And one senator angrily suggested he was being criticized for speaking out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some of my colleagues on this floor believe I have to have a uterus to have an opinion,\" said Sen. Joel Anderson, R-Alpine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Racial Profiling Bill\u003c/strong>: The Senate passed a bill that would drastically expand the data collected and made public by police departments -- one aimed at improving relations between law enforcement and communities of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB953\" target=\"_blank\">Assembly Bill 953\u003c/a> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">would require all police agencies to report extensive data on each contact they make with a member of the public, including the perceived race and ethnicity of the person. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The information would be handed over to the State Attorney General’s Office, where a new body would be charged with improving racial sensitivity in law enforcement. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Republican lawmakers said the bill would distract police officers from their job of policing, and insisted that racial bias problems among law enforcement officers have improved, Sen. Holly Mitchell, D-Los Angeles, pushed back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mitchell said the only way to improve communication between the public and police is to have real data on which to base those talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reality is that 1,000 Californians lost their lives at the hands of law enforcement between 2008 and 2012. Twenty percent of them were African-American, in a state where the population of African-Americans is less than 6 percent,\" she said. \"T\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">he time has come to have a clear conversation with law enforcement about what we as society no longer accept, and that's racial profiling by those who indeed take an oath to protect and serve us all equally.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The bill faces one more vote before it can be sent to Brown. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And it saw a major shift on two topics: A concession to the oil industry on the year's biggest climate change legislation, and a delay in finding a solution to long-term funding for California's transportation needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delay on transportation was a clear signal of how tough the issue had become as the end-of-session deadline approached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, told reporters late Wednesday that transportation funding would be pushed over until the fall -- after lawmakers have concluded their regular work -- for a closer look by a to-be-announced special legislative committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"(The state Senate leader) and I will be forming a conference committee to continue to work on transportation, so that we respond to the stakeholders up and down the state -- business, labor, local elected officials, to get that done,\" said Atkins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

ABX2-15 by Assemblywoman Susan Talamantes Eggman, D-Stockton, was the focus of a floor debate that lasted some two hours. There was no clean split along party lines, with some Democrats opposed and a few Republicans in support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I certainly don't take this lightly,\" said Eggman in her closing remarks, offered while fighting back tears. Other legislators also grew emotional during the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters say it remains unclear whether the bill will next have one final policy committee hearing before the Legislature adjourns Friday night, or whether it heads directly to the Senate floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No Toll For Walking On The Golden Gate Bridge\u003c/strong>: The body overseeing the Golden Gate Bridge may soon be barred from imposing a toll on walkers and bikers, after the Legislature sent the governor\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB40\" target=\"_blank\"> Assembly Bill 40\u003c/a> Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill by San Francisco Democratic Assemblyman Phil Ting, if signed by Brown, would prohibit sidewalk tolls for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the Golden Gate and state-owned toll bridges. The cash-strapped bridge district has twice voted to study such a fee, but Ting sought to tie the ban to the subject du jour in Sacramento: Climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The impact of foot and pedal power cannot be overlooked as we strive to combat climate change. We should not discourage these healthy transportation alternatives by nickel-and-diming people who are part of the solution,” he said in a written statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>State Funded Recounts In Close Elections\u003c/strong>: Lawmakers sent the governor a bill debated now for more than a year, sparked by 2014's close contest in the race for state controller. Assembly Bill 44 by Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco, allows the governor to order a recount in any statewide race (either for a statewide office or a ballot measure) where the gap between second and third place for candidates, or passage and defeat for a ballot measure, is either less than 1,000 votes or 0.00015 of the votes cast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Abortion Clinic Access\u003c/strong>: Legislation to allow independent primary care clinics -- including those that offer abortion services -- to secure a state license cleared the state Senate and headed back for a final vote in the Assembly ... but not before sparking some heated fireworks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Richard Pan, D-Sacramento, said that \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/15-16/bill/asm/ab_1151-1200/ab_1177_cfa_20150908_162020_sen_floor.html\" target=\"_blank\">Assembly Bill 1177\u003c/a> is an attempt to help clinics that can't get a license because no nearby hospital will sign an agreement for transferring patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's become politicized,\" said Pan, a physician. \"Because of that politicization, people have been denied reproductive services.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Republicans accused Democrats of trying to expand these services at a risk to women. And one senator angrily suggested he was being criticized for speaking out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some of my colleagues on this floor believe I have to have a uterus to have an opinion,\" said Sen. Joel Anderson, R-Alpine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Racial Profiling Bill\u003c/strong>: The Senate passed a bill that would drastically expand the data collected and made public by police departments -- one aimed at improving relations between law enforcement and communities of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB953\" target=\"_blank\">Assembly Bill 953\u003c/a> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">would require all police agencies to report extensive data on each contact they make with a member of the public, including the perceived race and ethnicity of the person. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The information would be handed over to the State Attorney General’s Office, where a new body would be charged with improving racial sensitivity in law enforcement. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Republican lawmakers said the bill would distract police officers from their job of policing, and insisted that racial bias problems among law enforcement officers have improved, Sen. Holly Mitchell, D-Los Angeles, pushed back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mitchell said the only way to improve communication between the public and police is to have real data on which to base those talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reality is that 1,000 Californians lost their lives at the hands of law enforcement between 2008 and 2012. Twenty percent of them were African-American, in a state where the population of African-Americans is less than 6 percent,\" she said. \"T\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">he time has come to have a clear conversation with law enforcement about what we as society no longer accept, and that's racial profiling by those who indeed take an oath to protect and serve us all equally.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The bill faces one more vote before it can be sent to Brown. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
