"content": "\u003cp>2016 is shaping up to be a perfect political storm in California, the kind of year historians look back on with wonder. Not only will there likely be a tsunami of ballot measures in November, but also many will come with national implications, media attention and special interest cash for and against them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Add to that a rare open U.S. Senate seat, a presidential election and, God help us, an early start to the 2018 gubernatorial election, and you have a year to make political junkies start twitching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, to ring in the new year, I humbly present 10 stories to keep your eyes on in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>U.S. Senate Race: How Much of a Race Will It Be?\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>U.S. Senate seats (or congressional seats for that matter) don't open up that often, so when they do it frequently sets off a mad scramble among ambitious politicians. When four-term Sen. Barbara Boxer announced her retirement in early 2015, political insiders wondered if two rising stars would face off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom quickly \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-gavin-newsom-20150212-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">announced\u003c/a> he would run for governor in 2018, not the U.S. Senate. Days later, Attorney General Kamala Harris jumped into the Senate race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Efforts by Harris and her supporters to clear the field worked, for the most part. One after another, prominent Democrats passed on the race. Only Orange County congresswoman Loretta Sanchez said she would run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three lesser-known Republicans, San Diego Assemblyman Rocky Chavez and two former GOP state party chairs, Duf Sundheim and Tom Del Beccaro, are also making the run, but lag far behind in cash, name identification and \u003ca href=\"http://www.field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2515.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">poll numbers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conventional wisdom sizes up the race as the state attorney general's to lose. But unflattering national stories about her large \"burn rate\" of campaign cash have taken a bit of the varnish off Harris. Sanchez, while gaffe-prone and a bit erratic, could end up second to Harris in the June primary, setting up an unprecedented and fascinating Dem-on-Dem showdown in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or will another Democrat sense an opening and jump into the race?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Let the Good Times Roll: Governor's Budget Will Divide Up the Spoils\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With California's economy on a roll and state revenues coming in ahead of projection, the state's fiscal nightmare is fading into the rearview mirror.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aided by additional revenues from \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_30,_Sales_and_Income_Tax_Increase_(2012)\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 30, \u003c/a>passed by voters four years ago, Gov. Brown will be pressed by fellow Democrats to restore cuts made to Medi-Cal reimbursement rates for doctors and programs to help those with developmental disabilities. The latter was supposed to be dealt with in the special legislative session on health issues, but so far that has not happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even Republicans seem willing to restore cuts to the developmentally disabled, at least based on statements and press releases. And some Democrats are spoiling for a fight with the notoriously frugal governor over these and other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll get a better sense of where this is going in early January when the governor releases his 2016-17 state budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Will the U.S. Supreme Court Clip the CTA's Wings?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, the California Teachers Association has long been regarded as an 800-pound gorilla in state politics. Each political season it spends tens of millions of dollars for and against ballot measures and candidates it supports or opposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a case before the U.S. Supreme Court this year could put a serious dent in that juggernaut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Jan. 11, the Supremes will hear oral arguments in \u003ca href=\"http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/friedrichs-v-california-teachers-association/\" target=\"_blank\">Friedrichs vs. California Teachers Association\u003c/a>, which will determine whether the CTA has the right to force teachers to pay \"agency fee\" dues to cover the union's expenses at the bargaining table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 300,000 educators pay dues. If the Supreme Court rules against the union, it will be a political earthquake that's sure to shake up California's political landscape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. A New Speaker Who Might Actually Stick Around Awhile\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, Southern California Democrat \u003ca href=\"http://asmdc.org/members/a63/\" target=\"_blank\">Anthony Rendon \u003c/a>is expected to take over the Assembly speakership from termed-out San Diego Democrat Toni Atkins. Since term limits ended the 15-year reign of Willie Brown, the \"Ayatollah of the Assembly,\" the lower house has had a series of relatively weak speakers, including some who served for as little as three months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rendon says he'll make education a top priority, a noteworthy choice since the 47-year-old legislator told the Sacramento Bee he was a \"terrible high school student\" with a grade-point average that \"at one time was 0.83.\" He went on the earn a Ph.D. from UC Riverside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other half of that story will also be interesting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outgoing \u003ca href=\"http://asmdc.org/speaker/\" target=\"_blank\">Speaker Atkins \u003c/a>is taking on incumbent state Sen. Marty Block for his San Diego Senate seat. Challenging a fellow Democrat has not won Atkins any friends in the upper house, especially not Senate leader Kevin de León, who says Block deserves to be re-elected. Atkins had raised nearly $1 million as of the last campaign filing period and has no doubt added to that since then. Block, by contrast, had raised much less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Will California's Presidential Primary Actually Matter in 2016?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a state with more than 10 percent of the nation's population, California rarely has a say in presidential nominations. Our primary, once moved up to March in a reach for relevance, is scheduled for June 7. And once again politicos are speculating whether state Republicans might actually make a difference in choosing the nominee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Donald Trump continuing to defy gravity and mainstreamers like Jeb Bush and John Kasich \u003ca href=\"http://www.field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2514.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">failing to catch on\u003c/a>, GOP leaders have been fielding questions lately about the possibility of an \"open convention.\" That seems unlikely, but if Trump remains viable by mid-March it's at least possible the nomination will remain undecided until the end of the primary season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Polar-Opposite Approaches to the Death Penalty\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone agrees: California's death penalty is dysfunctional. As we approach the 10th anniversary of the last execution, two political camps are pushing \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/14/faster-executions-or-none-at-all-california-voters-may-choose\" target=\"_blank\">completely divergent fixes \u003c/a>and both could appear on the November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One, supported by district attorneys, would expedite executions by assigning defense attorneys more quickly and speeding up the appeals process. The other would end capital punishment altogether and replace all death sentences retroactively with life in prison without the possibility of parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2012 effort to ban capital punishment failed narrowly, 52-48 percent.

Not only will there likely be a tsunami of ballot measures in November, but also many will come with national implications, media attention and special interest cash for and against them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Add to that a rare open U.S. Senate seat, a presidential election and, God help us, an early start to the 2018 gubernatorial election, and you have a year to make political junkies start twitching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, to ring in the new year, I humbly present 10 stories to keep your eyes on in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>U.S. Senate Race: How Much of a Race Will It Be?\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>U.S. Senate seats (or congressional seats for that matter) don't open up that often, so when they do it frequently sets off a mad scramble among ambitious politicians. When four-term Sen. Barbara Boxer announced her retirement in early 2015, political insiders wondered if two rising stars would face off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom quickly \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-gavin-newsom-20150212-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">announced\u003c/a> he would run for governor in 2018, not the U.S. Senate. Days later, Attorney General Kamala Harris jumped into the Senate race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One after another, prominent Democrats passed on the race. Only Orange County congresswoman Loretta Sanchez said she would run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three lesser-known Republicans, San Diego Assemblyman Rocky Chavez and two former GOP state party chairs, Duf Sundheim and Tom Del Beccaro, are also making the run, but lag far behind in cash, name identification and \u003ca href=\"http://www.field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2515.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">poll numbers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conventional wisdom sizes up the race as the state attorney general's to lose. But unflattering national stories about her large \"burn rate\" of campaign cash have taken a bit of the varnish off Harris. Sanchez, while gaffe-prone and a bit erratic, could end up second to Harris in the June primary, setting up an unprecedented and fascinating Dem-on-Dem showdown in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or will another Democrat sense an opening and jump into the race?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Let the Good Times Roll: Governor's Budget Will Divide Up the Spoils\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With California's economy on a roll and state revenues coming in ahead of projection, the state's fiscal nightmare is fading into the rearview mirror.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aided by additional revenues from \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_30,_Sales_and_Income_Tax_Increase_(2012)\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 30, \u003c/a>passed by voters four years ago, Gov. Brown will be pressed by fellow Democrats to restore cuts made to Medi-Cal reimbursement rates for doctors and programs to help those with developmental disabilities. The latter was supposed to be dealt with in the special legislative session on health issues, but so far that has not happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even Republicans seem willing to restore cuts to the developmentally disabled, at least based on statements and press releases. And some Democrats are spoiling for a fight with the notoriously frugal governor over these and other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll get a better sense of where this is going in early January when the governor releases his 2016-17 state budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Will the U.S. Supreme Court Clip the CTA's Wings?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, the California Teachers Association has long been regarded as an 800-pound gorilla in state politics. Each political season it spends tens of millions of dollars for and against ballot measures and candidates it supports or opposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a case before the U.S. Supreme Court this year could put a serious dent in that juggernaut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Jan. 11, the Supremes will hear oral arguments in \u003ca href=\"http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/friedrichs-v-california-teachers-association/\" target=\"_blank\">Friedrichs vs. California Teachers Association\u003c/a>, which will determine whether the CTA has the right to force teachers to pay \"agency fee\" dues to cover the union's expenses at the bargaining table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 300,000 educators pay dues. If the Supreme Court rules against the union, it will be a political earthquake that's sure to shake up California's political landscape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. A New Speaker Who Might Actually Stick Around Awhile\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, Southern California Democrat \u003ca href=\"http://asmdc.org/members/a63/\" target=\"_blank\">Anthony Rendon \u003c/a>is expected to take over the Assembly speakership from termed-out San Diego Democrat Toni Atkins. Since term limits ended the 15-year reign of Willie Brown, the \"Ayatollah of the Assembly,\" the lower house has had a series of relatively weak speakers, including some who served for as little as three months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rendon says he'll make education a top priority, a noteworthy choice since the 47-year-old legislator told the Sacramento Bee he was a \"terrible high school student\" with a grade-point average that \"at one time was 0.83.\" He went on the earn a Ph.D. from UC Riverside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other half of that story will also be interesting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outgoing \u003ca href=\"http://asmdc.org/speaker/\" target=\"_blank\">Speaker Atkins \u003c/a>is taking on incumbent state Sen. Marty Block for his San Diego Senate seat. Challenging a fellow Democrat has not won Atkins any friends in the upper house, especially not Senate leader Kevin de León, who says Block deserves to be re-elected. Atkins had raised nearly $1 million as of the last campaign filing period and has no doubt added to that since then. Block, by contrast, had raised much less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Will California's Presidential Primary Actually Matter in 2016?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a state with more than 10 percent of the nation's population, California rarely has a say in presidential nominations. Our primary, once moved up to March in a reach for relevance, is scheduled for June 7. And once again politicos are speculating whether state Republicans might actually make a difference in choosing the nominee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Donald Trump continuing to defy gravity and mainstreamers like Jeb Bush and John Kasich \u003ca href=\"http://www.field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2514.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">failing to catch on\u003c/a>, GOP leaders have been fielding questions lately about the possibility of an \"open convention.\" That seems unlikely, but if Trump remains viable by mid-March it's at least possible the nomination will remain undecided until the end of the primary season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Polar-Opposite Approaches to the Death Penalty\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone agrees: California's death penalty is dysfunctional. As we approach the 10th anniversary of the last execution, two political camps are pushing \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/14/faster-executions-or-none-at-all-california-voters-may-choose\" target=\"_blank\">completely divergent fixes \u003c/a>and both could appear on the November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One, supported by district attorneys, would expedite executions by assigning defense attorneys more quickly and speeding up the appeals process. The other would end capital punishment altogether and replace all death sentences retroactively with life in prison without the possibility of parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2012 effort to ban capital punishment failed narrowly, 52-48 percent. Since then several states, including Connecticut and Nebraska, have ended their death penalty. One way or the other, 2016 could bring some much-needed clarity to the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7. Big Pharma on the Ballot Will Attract National Attention\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/15-0009%20(Prescription%20Drug%20Costs).pdf\" target=\"_blank\">ballot measure \u003c/a>would limit the price California state agencies pay for prescription drugs to no more than the lowest price paid by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
