Rep. George Miller, like Waxman an influential liberal Democrat, announced earlier this month that he won’t seek re-election. Miller and Waxman were both first elected to Congress in 1974.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two Southern California Republicans, Rep.

I have held this view throughout my career in Congress. And I will leave the House of Representatives with my conviction intact. I have learned that progress is not always easy. It can take years of dedication and struggle. But it’s worth fighting for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My parents were scarred by the Great Depression and as a result they were ardent Democrats. They believed in the ideals of this wonderful country and made sure that I had the opportunity to be the first in the family to get a college education. They taught me that the special interests have plenty of advocates; It’s the poor, the sick, and the powerless who need a champion in Congress. And that’s what I’ve strived to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I take pride in my legislative accomplishments.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/politicsnow/la-pn-henry-waxman-retire-congress-20140130,0,7708869.story#axzz2rtyvSQWG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Los Angeles Times recounts this morning\u003c/a>, laws that Waxman wrote have had a wide impact in American life:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In a 2008 speech, Rep. Jan Schakowsky. D-Ill., delivered a speech illustrating the breadth of Waxman’s legislative achievements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holding up a bag of potato chips, Schakowsky said, “There is a nutrition label on the bag that we all know and take for granted. Henry Waxman wrote the law that puts these labels on the bag.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lifting a bottle of pills, she said, “Henry Waxman wrote the law that created the generic drug industry.” Then displaying an apple, she said, “Henry Waxman wrote the law that removed dangerous pesticide from apples and other foods.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/132280830&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&visual=true\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waxman also led a high-profile campaign to expose tobacco industry marketing practices; has long fought for expanding public health coverage and was a major supporter of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act; was an author of the federal Clean Air Act and a leading voice for the government to take action on climate change; and even led hearings into the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His statement indicated he’s not pleased with the ideological polarization in the House today — a state of affairs perhaps best illustrated by House Republicans’ attempt to curb the new health care law last fall, a moved that led to a 16-day shutdown of the federal government. But Waxman said that’s not why he’s leaving Congress:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“There are elements of Congress today that I do not like. I abhor the extremism of the Tea Party Republicans. I am embarrassed that the greatest legislative body in the world too often operates in a partisan intellectual vacuum, denying science, refusing to listen to experts, and ignoring facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I am not leaving out of frustration with Congress. Even in today’s environment, there are opportunities to make real progress. Last Congress, I worked with Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate to pass legislation that will ease the nation’s growing spectrum shortage, spur innovation in new ‘Super WiFi’ technologies, and create a national broadband network for first responders. Just last year, I worked on a bipartisan basis to enact legislation strengthening FDA’s authority to stop dangerous drug compounding and to track pharmaceuticals through the supply chain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I am not leaving because I think House Democrats have no chance to retake the House. House Republicans have no compelling vision for the future. The public understands this, and I am confident that the Democrats can regain control of the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason for my decision is simple. After 40 years in Congress, it’s time for someone else to have the chance to make his or her mark, ideally someone who is young enough to make the long-term commitment that’s required for real legislative success. I still feel youthful and energetic, but I recognize if I want to experience a life outside of Congress, I need to start soon. Public office is not the only way to serve, and I want to explore other avenues while I still can.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Henry Waxman, 74, of Los Angeles, announced that he won’t seek re-election this fall after 20 terms in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Waxman’s announcement, four of the state’s 53 House members have announced they’re retiring after the current session of Congress. Rep. George Miller, like Waxman an influential liberal Democrat, announced earlier this month that he won’t seek re-election. Miller and Waxman were both first elected to Congress in 1974.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two Southern California Republicans, Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon of Santa Clarita, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Rep. John Campbell of Irvine have also announced they’ll give up their seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://waxman.house.gov/press-release/rep-henry-waxman-announces-plans-retire-congress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In a statement\u003c/a>, Waxman said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I first ran for office because I believe government can be a force for good in people’s lives. I have held this view throughout my career in Congress. And I will leave the House of Representatives with my conviction intact. I have learned that progress is not always easy. It can take years of dedication and struggle. But it’s worth fighting for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My parents were scarred by the Great Depression and as a result they were ardent Democrats. They believed in the ideals of this wonderful country and made sure that I had the opportunity to be the first in the family to get a college education. They taught me that the special interests have plenty of advocates; It’s the poor, the sick, and the powerless who need a champion in Congress. And that’s what I’ve strived to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I take pride in my legislative accomplishments.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/politicsnow/la-pn-henry-waxman-retire-congress-20140130,0,7708869.story#axzz2rtyvSQWG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Los Angeles Times recounts this morning\u003c/a>, laws that Waxman wrote have had a wide impact in American life:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In a 2008 speech, Rep. Jan Schakowsky.

Henry Waxman wrote the law that puts these labels on the bag.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lifting a bottle of pills, she said, “Henry Waxman wrote the law that created the generic drug industry.” Then displaying an apple, she said, “Henry Waxman wrote the law that removed dangerous pesticide from apples and other foods.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/132280830&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&visual=true\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But Waxman said that’s not why he’s leaving Congress:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“There are elements of Congress today that I do not like. I abhor the extremism of the Tea Party Republicans. I am embarrassed that the greatest legislative body in the world too often operates in a partisan intellectual vacuum, denying science, refusing to listen to experts, and ignoring facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I am not leaving out of frustration with Congress. Even in today’s environment, there are opportunities to make real progress. Last Congress, I worked with Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate to pass legislation that will ease the nation’s growing spectrum shortage, spur innovation in new ‘Super WiFi’ technologies, and create a national broadband network for first responders. Just last year, I worked on a bipartisan basis to enact legislation strengthening FDA’s authority to stop dangerous drug compounding and to track pharmaceuticals through the supply chain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I am not leaving because I think House Democrats have no chance to retake the House. House Republicans have no compelling vision for the future. The public understands this, and I am confident that the Democrats can regain control of the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason for my decision is simple. After 40 years in Congress, it’s time for someone else to have the chance to make his or her mark, ideally someone who is young enough to make the long-term commitment that’s required for real legislative success. I still feel youthful and energetic, but I recognize if I want to experience a life outside of Congress, I need to start soon. Public office is not the only way to serve, and I want to explore other avenues while I still can.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

That’s due to the resignation of East Bakersfield Senator Michael Rubio, who is stepping down – effective immediately – to become a lobbyist for energy company Chevron.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rubio’s resignation gives Democrats 26 Senate seats – one shy of two-thirds control of the 40-member chamber. (The party maintains a commanding 55-25 grip on the Assembly, and holds the governor’s office, too.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two-thirds hold on both houses was important, because California law requires a supermajority vote to raise taxes and put a new initiative on the ballot, as well as overturn gubernatorial vetoes. Assuming the parties vote in blocks, Senate Republicans now have the ability to put a hold on any proposed revenue increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rubio’s resignation gives Democrats 26 seats in the 40-member chamber – one shy of a two-thirds hold. The party may regain its supermajority next month, when primary elections are held for seats vacated by Los Angeles Democrat Gloria Negrete McLeod and San Diego Democrat Juan Vargas, who both stepped town to become members of Congress. (If a primary candidates wins more than 50 percent of the vote, he or she is declared the winner and no general election is held.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A special election for Rubio’s seat will be held later this year, 126 to 140 days after Governor Jerry Brown calls for one. That puts the timing into late June, right when legislators will be voting on this year’s budget plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking at the district’s demographics, analyst Allan Hoffenbloom says Democrats should be able to retain the seat. “Currently the Democratic registration is at 50 percent,” he said. “and the Republican registration is down to 28 percent. So this is a district, though in the past competitive, which will certainly favor a Democrat.” Hoffenbloom edits the “California District Target,” which assesses legislative elections.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"http://sd16.senate.ca.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2013-02-22-senator-rubio-family-comes-first-2\">announcement\u003c/a> on his website, Rubio suggests that working as manager of California government affairs for the oil company will demand a lot less of his time than being a state senator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have missed too many family dinner, bedtime stories and parent-teacher conferences,” he wrote, noting that he has two daughters, one of them with special needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rubio decided a year ago not to run for U.S. Congress because of his family’s needs, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement caused an immediate flurry on Twitter as pundits tried to figure out the political implications:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>With two Senate vacancies already, Rubio’s resignation and another senator leaving for LA City Council, Senate supermajority falls short\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Daniel R.

One of the upper house’s most moderate members, Rubio was leading a push to overhaul the California Environmental Quality Act. He was named chair of the Environmental Quality Committee last year and has worked closely with Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg on drafting legislation for the upcoming session.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In a 2009 report, for instance, one analyst termed some of its financial statements “wrong and misleading.” The following year, another said its “earnings momentum appears to be negative.” And after HP announced its plan to buy the company in August 2011, a third analyst predicted the acquisition would “destroy” HP’s stock value.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/oakland-tribune/ci_22111419/squid-fishermen-wrap-up-another-banner-year\">Squid fishermen wrap up another banner year\u003c/a> (Bay Area News Group)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It’s a great time to be a calamari lover. California fishermen have capitalized on favorable ocean conditions with a historic three-year haul of market squid, whose cylindrical bodies are most recognizable in appetizer form: sliced, breaded and deep-fried. These small squid make up the state’s largest fishery by both weight and value, having brought in roughly $68.5 million in 2011. Fishermen netted a record-breaking 133,642 tons of the cephalopods during the 2010-11 season, then topped that mark the following year with 134,910 tons, according to the California Department of Fish and Game. This season’s catch was also robust, though it is expected to fall a bit short of those staggering totals.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And while we are still learning the extent of the embezzlement, Calitics suggests there are already lessons to be learned:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>California campaigns have given far too much power to external campaign treasurers. They are given sole access to bank accounts, sole authority to write checks, and typically get very little oversight from the campaigns. If we are to learn anything from this mess, we should be sure that campaigns are better managed, we have better oversight systems, and campaigns don't allow individuals too much access. Campaign treasurers are 99.99 honest, but at the same time we need to ensure that campaigns see actual bank statements once in a while, know how much money is in their account, and can handle their business in case of emergency.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Stay tuned.

Given Durkee's far reach into Democratic politics in California -- authorities have said she had signature control to some 400 campaign accounts -- the shock waves are going to keep reverberating for a while.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also worth noting: some of these Democrats could be navigating some uncertain waters in 2012. Almost all of them are running in newly drawn congressional and legislative districts, which may mean reaching out to new voters -- which costs money.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>That means Democrats could feel an effect in next year's election. The liberal blog, \u003ca href=\"http://calitics.com/\">Calitics\u003c/a>, lead a \u003ca href=\"http://calitics.com/diary/13846/how-bad-is-the-durkee-mess\">post \u003c/a>with the fact that many of its readers may have gotten an influx of emails from Democratic politicians asking for money. And while we are still learning the extent of the embezzlement, Calitics suggests there are already lessons to be learned:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>California campaigns have given far too much power to external campaign treasurers. They are given sole access to bank accounts, sole authority to write checks, and typically get very little oversight from the campaigns. If we are to learn anything from this mess, we should be sure that campaigns are better managed, we have better oversight systems, and campaigns don't allow individuals too much access. Campaign treasurers are 99.99 honest, but at the same time we need to ensure that campaigns see actual bank statements once in a while, know how much money is in their account, and can handle their business in case of emergency.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Stay tuned. Durkee is due in federal court October 19. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
