Column: Voter ID ballot measure fixes a problem that doesn't exist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
See more from the L.A. Times in Google Search. Set us as preferred SACRAMENTO — What’s so wrong about requiring every Californian to show a government ID before they’re allowed to vote? That’s what Proposition 39 backers ask. And it’s a fair question. Practically everyone, regardless of political affiliation, must understand by now that there simply is no evidence of widespread — significant, meaningful — voter cheating in California or anywhere else in America. This despite conspiracy-theorists
Column: California provides tax breaks to Hollywood. Why not struggling news outlets? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
See more from the L.A. Times in Google Search. Set us as preferred SACRAMENTO — President Trump and the Republican Congress have unintentionally provided California state government with the financial means to subsidize — help save — endangered local news reporting. Now it’s up to Gov. Gavin Newsom to capitalize on the unanticipated gift. He can sign or veto legislation to end state tax breaks for large corporations paying top executives $1 million-plus salaries and, instead, provide tax breaks

Legislators wearing red jerseys have proposed to: Both ideas, of course, were dead on arrival when introduced in the Democratic-dominated state Legislature, which is about to wrap up a two-year session. But both make good government sense and promote democracy, which the Demo
Column: Xavier Becerra won't deliver the home runs — or strikeouts — racked up by Newsom, Schwarzenegger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
See more from the L.A. Times in Google Search. Set us as preferred SACRAMENTO — California’s next governor, Xavier Becerra, is a “small ball” player, to borrow a baseball term. He probably won’t be swinging for the fences like Govs. Gavin Newsom and Arnold Schwarzenegger. But he also won’t be striking out a lot trying to hit home runs, like Newsom and Schwarzenegger. Democrat Newsom has rapped some doubles, most notably streamlining the long-abused California Environmental Quality Act that has s
