My favorite part, personally - click on any reference to statute in the text of a bill to open up a second pane displaying that section of statute. Plus an explanation of how the bill interacts with it.
Works on mobile and desktop - though i highly recommend getting oriented on desktop to start. CALege lets you make bill lists and auto-generates a calendar based on the daily file. Then: filter the calendar by your lists, and track votes on your bills for upcoming hearings! 😁
The Manufacturing Decarbonization Incentive, or "Build Up California Reserve Account," as they want us to refer to it, would now receive the entirety of the 118M allowances previously slated for removal. A whole bunch of industry facilities are newly eligible fore these funds, too. Strikethroughs:
The best and brightest in CA seem to have made the assessment - probably correctly - that this is basically the state of affairs as Newsom closes out 8 years
These are both great additions to the emerging theme in my apartment’s wall art which is very much “chicago + early-mid century public works + retro advertisements”
Have been coveting this since moving to the Bay - a midcentury plan to dam the SF Bay dreamed up by theater guy John Reber, who somehow persuaded the Army Corps of Engineers to draw up an official proposal and build a massive hydrological scale model of the Bay to test it
Framed up some xmas and bday gifts today - an old Chicago tourism advert and a CA DPW draft of the Reber Plan

Unfortunately i think this may be a drafting error in the digest - here in the language I see it extended to 2046
Neil Young at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View. Just the antidote for this week.
So when the deal became public, I was pleasantly surprised to see many of the features that @nextgenpolicy.bsky.social has been pushing all year included. AB 1207 goes to lengths to improve upon the program that has been much maligned since Big Oil had its way with it in 2017. It's pretty good!
Doesn’t solve for inter-mode transfers, but i have yet to see wayfinding that beats the simplicity and intuitiveness of WMATA. Example on the green line, zero confusion to be had over which side of the platform i am on, how many stops before i transfer to another line, etc
Anyone got an idea of how a housing project can "demonstrate compliance with" the scoping plan? What's the threshold?
