While many Republican lawmakers supported the bill, Assemblyman Jim Cooper -- a former sheriff's captain -- warned that it would make it easier for predators to prey on children. Cooper, D-Elk Grove, argued the bill \"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">will limit law enforcement effectiveness at investigating and prosecuting sexual predators.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters, including GOP members, pushed back.

We \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/08/13/240-million-education-contract-illustrates-state-lobbying-loopholes\" target=\"_blank\">took an in-depth look at the issue \u003c/a>this summer, finding that it's nearly impossible to find out who's working behind the scenes to secure billions of taxpayer dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Assembly also approved \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB21\" target=\"_blank\">Senate Bill 21\u003c/a>, which would expand disclosure requirements around junkets for elected officials. The bill would require a nonprofit organization that \"regularly organizes and hosts travel for elected officials\" to disclose the names of donors who both donated to the nonprofit\u003cspan class=\"blue_text\" style=\"color: blue\"> \u003c/span>and accompanied an elected official for any portion of the travel. The bill would require a person who receives a gift of a travel payment from any source to report the travel destination on his or her statement of economic interests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's a catch: For SB21 to take effect, the Legislature must also approve -- and the governor must sign -- \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB10\" target=\"_blank\">Assembly Bill 10\u003c/a>. That measure originally would have expanded disclosure around behested payments -- when an elected official asks an individual or company to give money to charities on their behalf -- but was recently amended in the Senate to instead raise the dollar threshold for when a public official has to disclose sources of income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NOTE: This post has been modified to reflect that AB1200 stalled in the Senate.

Assemblyman Jay Obernolte, a Republican from Big Bear Lake who presented the bill on the Assembly floor, as well as Assembly GOP leader Kristin Olsen, R-Modesto, noted that many prominent law enforcement groups removed their opposition in recent days after Leno agreed to amend the bill to specifically address the child pornography issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Holding up his cellphone, Obernolte said, \"It's very clear that the information in this device falls under (the) Fourth Amendment ... but unfortunately, privacy laws in California have not caught up with technology.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate will take one more vote on the measure before it heads to Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Government Contracts and Lobbying, Junkets\u003c/strong>: It was a big day for measures to strengthen ethics laws in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Bill 1200, which would\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/08/14/Bill-Lobbying-Laws-Local-Ordinances\" target=\"_blank\"> bring lobbying for state contracts under existing lobbying laws\u003c/a>, fell one vote short in the state Senate but will be granted a second chance, known as \"reconsideration,\" before the end of the week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would close a loophole in existing lobbying laws that exempts paid lobbying for public contracts from the same disclosure rules as lobbying for legislation or regulation. We \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/08/13/240-million-education-contract-illustrates-state-lobbying-loopholes\" target=\"_blank\">took an in-depth look at the issue \u003c/a>this summer, finding that it's nearly impossible to find out who's working behind the scenes to secure billions of taxpayer dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Assembly also approved \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB21\" target=\"_blank\">Senate Bill 21\u003c/a>, which would expand disclosure requirements around junkets for elected officials. The bill would require a nonprofit organization that \"regularly organizes and hosts travel for elected officials\" to disclose the names of donors who both donated to the nonprofit\u003cspan class=\"blue_text\" style=\"color: blue\"> \u003c/span>and accompanied an elected official for any portion of the travel. The bill would require a person who receives a gift of a travel payment from any source to report the travel destination on his or her statement of economic interests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's a catch: For SB21 to take effect, the Legislature must also approve -- and the governor must sign -- \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB10\" target=\"_blank\">Assembly Bill 10\u003c/a>. That measure originally would have expanded disclosure around behested payments -- when an elected official asks an individual or company to give money to charities on their behalf -- but was recently amended in the Senate to instead raise the dollar threshold for when a public official has to disclose sources of income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Brown,\" said Jerome Encinas, a lobbyist who has represented several of the state's gaming tribes over the years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor has quietly negotiated the recent deals with little or no controversy, a far cry from his predecessors. Brown inherited decades of complex and somewhat conflicting priorities when it came to the state's role in carrying out federal law that authorized tribal gaming in 1988.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also inherited the legacy of political scars inflicted during the administration of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's time for them to pay their fair share,\" Schwarzenegger said in a memorable TV ad during a 2003 recall campaign that led to him replacing then-Gov. Gray Davis. Once in office, the Republican governor invoked a doctrine that generally linked tribal casino agreements to a share of the profits being handed over to help balance the beleaguered state budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was very hurtful,\" said lobbyist Encinas. \"The prior administration was kind of, 'This is what you're going to take, and that's it.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the Schwarzenegger casino deals being \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/capitalnotes/2011/07/08/state-poised-to-lose-indian-casino-cash/\" target=\"_blank\">ruled illegal by the federal courts in 2011\u003c/a>, and with tribes that were part of the original 1999 agreements now having just four years left before those agreements expire, it's a busy time in the governor's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know that you all are very busy negotiating multiple compact agreements,\" said state Sen. Isadore Hall, D-Compton, at the Aug. 25 hearing to consider \u003ca href=\"http://gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=19069\" target=\"_blank\">Brown's new agreement with the United Auburn Indian Community of Placer County\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tribe owns what may be the state's most profitable casino, Thunder Valley Resort, and signed an amended compact with the governor on Aug. 14. In exchange for about 850 new slot machines and a new 26-year contract, the tribe agreed to boost its payments to the fund that shares revenues with non-gaming tribes to some $18 million a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new agreement also redirects money paid into the state's general fund to local transportation projects.

Brown inherited decades of complex and somewhat conflicting priorities when it came to the state's role in carrying out federal law that authorized tribal gaming in 1988.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also inherited the legacy of political scars inflicted during the administration of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's time for them to pay their fair share,\" Schwarzenegger said in a memorable TV ad during a 2003 recall campaign that led to him replacing then-Gov.

Isadore Hall, D-Compton, at the Aug. 25 hearing to consider \u003ca href=\"http://gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=19069\" target=\"_blank\">Brown's new agreement with the United Auburn Indian Community of Placer County\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That tribe owns what may be the state's most profitable casino, Thunder Valley Resort, and signed an amended compact with the governor on Aug. 14. In exchange for about 850 new slot machines and a new 26-year contract, the tribe agreed to boost its payments to the fund that shares revenues with non-gaming tribes to some $18 million a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new agreement also redirects money paid into the state's general fund to local transportation projects. The compact is also longer than ones signed by previous governors -- running until 2041.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Few gaming proposals have been less controversial.

And then, to put a fine point on it: “We’re going to attack this problem of climate change in a very positive way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10655370\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10655370\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/IMG_3978-400x308.jpg\" alt=\"Gov.

Dianne Feinstein, D-San Francisco, for Monday’s two-hour event on the Tahoe shoreline that emphasized cooperation and collaboration to preserve the alpine lake’s cobalt-blue waters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even for a lake whose clarity has improved since the first summit in 1997, there’s a political murkiness to efforts at protection. For almost a decade , efforts have stalled in Washington, D.C., to renew federal funding for a variety of Tahoe lake and regional environmental projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, two very different visions of new federal help for the Tahoe region have emerged: one from Feinstein and U.S. Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., to \u003ca href=\"http://www.heller.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2015/7/nevada-california-senators-introduce-lake-tahoe-restoration-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allocate $415 million in funding\u003c/a>; and a much leaner version from U.S. Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Elk Grove, that \u003ca href=\"https://mcclintock.house.gov/newsroom/press-releases/tahoe-restoration-act-of-2015-introduced\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">would spend about $60 million and focus most of the money on forest fire prevention\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClintock said his proposal was about as good as it gets when it comes to the budget demands of his fellow Republicans in the leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Talk without action is just talk,” McClintock told the crowd at the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what does Brown think of the small-is-all-we-can-get approach?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Smaller versions come from smaller minds,” the governor told reporters after the event. “And Lake Tahoe, and the environment, are big.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown used his own speech at the lakeside summit to urge efforts that help “de-carbonize” the atmosphere. While he’s been a frequent guest at the annual event, the governor seemed eager for a more expansive fight on environmental issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has not taken a position on \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/08/16/the-big-battles-to-watch-in-final-2015-debates-california-state-legislature/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Legislature’s most-talked-about bill\u003c/a>, Senate Bill 350 by Senate President pro Tem Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles. But the bill would codify three climate change efforts the governor laid out in \u003ca href=\"http://gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=18828\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his January inaugural\u003c/a>: More renewable energy, more energy efficient vehicles, and a cut in vehicle petroleum use by up to 50 percent. The bill is now the target of an intense lobbying and public relations campaign on both sides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor, while not endorsing the specific language, made it clear he’s working behind the scenes to find a bill that will make it through the Legislature and to his desk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Brown seemed energized for the fight. “The oil industry is in deep trouble,” he told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What about the \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/political/la-me-pc-senate-leader-says-oil-industry-fear-mongering-on-sb-350-20150819-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ad campaign launched by an oil industry-funded group that warns of potential gas rationing\u003c/a>, or worse, if SB350 becomes law?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The petroleum boys are making up things,” said the governor. “I don’t want to use the word that is normally used for things when people don’t tell the truth.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Dean Heller, R-Nev., to \u003ca href=\"http://www.heller.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2015/7/nevada-california-senators-introduce-lake-tahoe-restoration-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allocate $415 million in funding\u003c/a>; and a much leaner version from U.S. Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Elk Grove, that \u003ca href=\"https://mcclintock.house.gov/newsroom/press-releases/tahoe-restoration-act-of-2015-introduced\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">would spend about $60 million and focus most of the money on forest fire prevention\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClintock said his proposal was about as good as it gets when it comes to the budget demands of his fellow Republicans in the leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Talk without action is just talk,” McClintock told the crowd at the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what does Brown think of the small-is-all-we-can-get approach?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Smaller versions come from smaller minds,” the governor told reporters after the event. “And Lake Tahoe, and the environment, are big.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown used his own speech at the lakeside summit to urge efforts that help “de-carbonize” the atmosphere. While he’s been a frequent guest at the annual event, the governor seemed eager for a more expansive fight on environmental issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has not taken a position on \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/08/16/the-big-battles-to-watch-in-final-2015-debates-california-state-legislature/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Legislature’s most-talked-about bill\u003c/a>, Senate Bill 350 by Senate President pro Tem Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles.

The bill is now the target of an intense lobbying and public relations campaign on both sides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor, while not endorsing the specific language, made it clear he’s working behind the scenes to find a bill that will make it through the Legislature and to his desk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Brown seemed energized for the fight. “The oil industry is in deep trouble,” he told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What about the \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/political/la-me-pc-senate-leader-says-oil-industry-fear-mongering-on-sb-350-20150819-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ad campaign launched by an oil industry-funded group that warns of potential gas rationing\u003c/a>, or worse, if SB350 becomes law?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The petroleum boys are making up things,” said the governor. “I don’t want to use the word that is normally used for things when people don’t tell the truth.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In Bera's race, the challenge is that his 7th Congressional District sits inside a TV market that actually covers four congressional districts -- a geographical region from Modesto to South Lake Tahoe. That means a lot of the eyeballs Democrats and Republicans were paying for in 2014 couldn't actually vote for Bera or Ose, two candidates who both wanted to represent a portion of Sacramento County. The report concludes 82 percent of the TV money in the race was, as a result, wasted; of the $11 million spent, only about $2 million actually was needed for the viewers who could cast a ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10650972\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10650972 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/Screen-Shot-2015-08-20-at-9.26.35-AM-400x381.png\" alt=\"In the 52nd Congressional District, Rep.

They've long known it as just one of the realities of campaigns, and as a result they budget their fundraising and spending accordingly. And it's important to point out that Google, one of the study's backers, would certainly benefit if more political efforts were focused on digital campaigning than on traditional broadcast outlets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it's a fascinating glimpse at what happens when targeted races spend oodles of cash in regions where TV signals span pretty large geographic regions. A number of California political experts have been predicting for several years that more and more money is going to start making its way to the Internet instead of radio and television, as the voter targeting can now be much more precise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, the real winners of the existing system continue to be the television stations and the campaign consultants whose fee often is based on the amount of money spent on buying up all of that airtime.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In fact, their report concludes that a whopping \u003cem>75 percent\u003c/em> of the money spent on the typical congressional campaign in the U.S. is wasted by reaching out to voters who don't even live in the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You'd never buy a tool that only works 25 percent of the time,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/targeted-victory-and-google-release-50-states-of-waste-highlighting-inefficiency-in-broadcast-television-buying-for-political-campaigns-300131232.html\" target=\"_blank\">said Targeted Victory's Michael Beach in a news release\u003c/a>. \"The waste in the average broadcast television buy should make any campaign think long and hard about how and where to apply their media budget.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In Bera's race, the challenge is that his 7th Congressional District sits inside a TV market that actually covers four congressional districts -- a geographical region from Modesto to South Lake Tahoe. That means a lot of the eyeballs Democrats and Republicans were paying for in 2014 couldn't actually vote for Bera or Ose, two candidates who both wanted to represent a portion of Sacramento County. The report concludes 82 percent of the TV money in the race was, as a result, wasted; of the $11 million spent, only about $2 million actually was needed for the viewers who could cast a ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10650972\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10650972 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/Screen-Shot-2015-08-20-at-9.26.35-AM-400x381.png\" alt=\"In the 52nd Congressional District, Rep.

They've long known it as just one of the realities of campaigns, and as a result they budget their fundraising and spending accordingly. And it's important to point out that Google, one of the study's backers, would certainly benefit if more political efforts were focused on digital campaigning than on traditional broadcast outlets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it's a fascinating glimpse at what happens when targeted races spend oodles of cash in regions where TV signals span pretty large geographic regions.
