State @SenBenHueso has introduced SB 615 which would make it harder for the public to file open records lawsuits. When Hueso was San Diego council president he pretended his request for staff bonuses didn’t exist only to cancel them once they became public voiceofsandiego.org/topics/governm…
@SenBenHueso Hueso’s bill would require mediation before public could file open records lawsuits and make it much harder to recover attorney’s fees if the government is found at fault. H/t to @DotKohlhaas for flagging the bill. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavC…
@SenBenHueso @DotKohlhaas To repeat, Hueso said no records existed even though he had requested for $11,000 in bonuses for his city staff as he was leaving for the state Legislature. But there was actually a memo from his staff that said “Please contact me when the checks are ready!"

New California Gov. @GavinNewsom is proposing a huge new investment in low-income housing and a host of new policies to boost housing production overall in his first budget
This looks like the biggest allocation and deal. $750 million to cities and counties to help spur production
Here’s $500 million for new homelessness funding

THREAD: California Sen. @Scott_Wiener revived his proposal to boost homebuilding near transit yesterday. A prior version became the most talked about housing bill in the country before it failed earlier this year. My initial take on the new plan: (1/11) latimes.com/politics/la-po…
The bill #SB50 keeps much of last year’s bill in tact. Four-to-five-stories near rail. Relaxed building rules near frequently used bus stops. No maps yet, but I imagine large parts of LA/SF would still be rezoned. There are three major policy differences that I've outlined (2/11)
You should expect much of the debate to center on those issues and the percent of new development set aside for low-income residents. And unlike last time, where the bill died at the first chance it could, I would definitely expect a debate this year (3/11)

The inimitable @philwillon taped @GavinNewsom’s presser yesterday. Housing highlights. On rent control, Newsom reiterates interest in a deal but offers no specifics: "I will not lay out the details here today. That will almost guarantee there will be no compromise if I did that."
@GavinNewsom Newsom didn’t offer specifics on any other part of his housing plan, but said his general philosophy will be around housing production, preserving existing housing and preventing displacement.
@GavinNewsom More from Newsom’s press conference yesterday. On homelessness, expect a lot more state involvement than we’ve seen. He has more details about what he actually wants to do here — state homelessness czar, focus on regional strategies, leaning into permanent housing vs. shelters

🔥MAKE NO MISTAKE🔥by closing the border at the largest US-Mexico checkpoint between San Diego & Tijuana, Donald Trump is intentionally creating a situation where conflict & violence is MORE LIKELY to occur... which he will then USE as a political tool. #CaravanCrisis 🗽🇺🇸
💥UPDATE💥By closing the border at the largest US-Mexico checkpoint, Trump is intentionally creating a situation where conflict & violence is MORE LIKELY to occur, which he will then USE as a political tool... and it's starting now. #CaravanCrisis 🗽🇺🇸
JUST RELEASED PHOTO... shows that many of the scary #Caravan invaders are men disguised as women and barefooted small children, some in diapers. #Tijuana

The Adecco Arrest and Cover Up

Most organisations contain their problems, but some just look like amateurs

#Adecco #Metpolice #Lovewhatyoudo #CEO1Month #Leadership #Training
#Adecco did everything to try to avoid confirming my mother's attendance even going to the lengths of calling #MetPolice to arrest her
If someone's house gets burgled, the #metpolice haven't got the resources to turn up. However, if you request a confirmation letter at #Adecco which you require for #DWP, then @metpoliceuk are quick on the scene

SCANDAL #7
It’s official, FL bill HB 631 is now a law and could affect a beach near you even if you don’t live in Florida. Walton County residents were out in droves yesterday (July 1st) to protest this new law, signed by Governor Rick Scott last month.
wjhg.com/content/news/W…
This new #Florida law invalidates local municipalities' #customaryuse ordinances and effectively locks the general public out of using the best parts of Florida’s beaches—unless they can afford to rent (or buy) beachfront property. Lawsuits are pending. #standyoursand
🚫HB 631 bans local municipalities from adopting ordinances to regulate public access to Florida’s beaches above the mean water line.

⁉️But first, where’s the mean water line?

💥In short, it's where everyone wants to sit when they're at the beach.

Trump is having a rally in West Columbia, South Carolina. I will tweet tweets about it. Mute this thread if you do not want the tweets.
Trump's speech has been delayed. "Air Force One has been circling Columbia Metropolitan Airport for more than 30 minutes due to a storm," pool reports.
The president has landed in South Carolina. Air Force One circled the airport for more than an hour, pool reports.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
