The Becerra era and Raman’s ‘earthquake’ in LA

TRANSITION BEGINS — In the five months between Xavier Becerra ’s come-from-behind primary victory and his general election win, he and his circle could deflect questions about his coming administration. California can only have one governor at a time, they said, and he wasn’t taking anything for granted. But now that voters have officially made him their next governor, everyone in Sacramento is racing to get some answers about what comes next: Who will Becerra hire and appoint? Which interest groups will be ascendant? What policies will he prioritize? The lobbyists, union officials and legislative leaders at his victory party offer some hints. Among the VIP’s circulating in West Sacramento were Becerra team members, including campaign hands Robbie Abelon, Kyle Layman and Lindsey Cobia — an erstwhile top Gavin Newsom deputy — and unofficial counselors like Arsenio Mataka, a former aide from Becerra’s attorney general days who focused on environmental issues. As we’ve noted elsewhere , Becerra’s sphere also includes adviser Courtni Pugh, longtime aide Liz Saldivar, veteran politico Karen Skelton, and policy adviser Nicole Elliott (another Newsom alum). Some of Sacramento’s most powerful interest groups did not endorse Becerra until it was evident he’d prevail. That made his early

Sac City Unified, opponents react as Measure M remains below two-thirds threshold

With ballots counted from only about 30% of eligible voters in the Sacramento City Unified School District, Measure M was winning a slim majority of early votes but remained far short of the two-thirds support needed to pass. The measure, which would impose an annual $95-per-parcel tax expected to raise about $10 million for SCUSD’s special education and early intervention programs, faced opposition over the added cost to property owners. Nikki Milevsky-Davis, president of the Sacramento City Teachers Association, said the union was encouraged that a majority of votes counted so far supported the measure. By early Wednesday, about 51.6% of votes were in favor of the measure. “It’s unfortunate that a two-thirds requirement will deprive Sac City students of the resources they so richly deserve,” she added. SCTA, along with the California Teachers Association and the National Education Association, supported Measure M as a way to help the district cover its increasing special education costs, a challenge shared by districts across the state. The financially distressed district’s special education costs have become one of its fastest growing expenses, with its unrestricted general fund contribution rising from $73.6 million in 2018-19 to a projected $172.3 million in 2025-26. The district

‘Stay tuned': McCarty pledges help to speed up Sacramento State's downtown campus

The state of California may need more than two years to ready a site where Sacramento State plans to eventually build a downtown campus. The state plans to demolish three mammoth buildings spanning multiple downtown blocks. Still, Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty said Thursday that the city will look to ease the process. “We’re working with the university to fast-track their downtown campus,” McCarty said during his annual “State of the City” address. “So stay tuned. News coming.” The potential timeline for a downtown campus was detailed in a recent report by the California Department of General Services, which serves as the state’s business manager. It is the most definitive timeline for the project since Sacramento State President Luke Wood announced in January that Meta had donated $50 million toward the demolition of the three buildings. “It’s still definitely in DGS’s court for some time,” Wood said in an interview last week. The buildings occupy multiple city blocks along Capitol Mall between Seventh and Ninth streets, near where many of the city’s high-profile firms have offices. The demolition process would begin in fall 2027 and last 18 months, the document said. The university has said its plans include housing , a

Vang says California's 7th District race is ‘still early' as Matsui retains lead

Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Sacramento, has taken the early lead over Sacramento Councilmember Mai Vang for the Sacramento region’s 7th Congressional District seat. As of 10:39 p.m., Matsui had 58.2% of the vote while Vang had 41.8%. About 38% of the district’s expected votes have been counted, according to the Associated Press. Matsui led by slightly less than 10 percentage points in Sacramento County , nearly 29 points in El Dorado County and more than 32 points in San Joaquin County, according to those counted as of 10:30 p.m. The results offer the first glimpse into how voters feel about the contentious, intra-party and generational battle for 7th District, which includes Sacramento’s downtown core and stretches from Lodi to parts of El Dorado County. Political experts have estimated that it may take weeks before a winner is determined. Ahead of the polls closing, Matsui arrived at the Sellands Cafe and Bar on Broadway for her election night party. She said she felt confidence, saying she had campaigned across the district including the newer areas such as Lodi and Placerville. “This race itself tested me in a way that I felt was really good, and I really felt good about where we
