Fiesta parade returns with a flourish Thousands sit and stand on both sides of Cabrillo Boulevard to watch dancers, horses and more By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Justin Uribe celebrated his birthday with a smile on his face and a Moscow mule cocktail in his hand. Clad in a white shirt, jeans and sunglasses, the friendly Santa Barbara resident, who turned 41, stood outside Bluewater Grill on Cabrillo Boulevard. He shouted cheerfully in Spanish to the riders on the horses in the nation’s largest equestrian parade. Wearing Old Spanish Days costumes and hats, the men on the horses smiled back. Then their horses proudly did some fancy footwork, just for Mr. Uribe. “They’re all dancing horses. So I tell the riders, ‘I want to see them dance!’ They’ll start doing a special dance,” Mr. Uribe, an equestrian himself, told the NewsPress. As the first Fiesta Historical Parade since 2019 proceeded early Friday afternoon on its new route, Cabrillo Boulevard, Mr. Uribe raised his voice to be heard over the dynamic music of mariachi horns, violins and guitars, and the loud, joyful volume of the crowd, easily numbering in the thousands. They sat and stood on both sides of Cabrillo Boulevard, on a route stretching from Castillo Street to the colorful Chromatic Gate. “Viva la Fiesta!” shouted Father Larry Gosselin on a float that was a replica of the Santa Barbara Mission. The crowd of all ages, from children on their parents’ shoulders to seniors sitting on benches, shouted, with enthusiasm to match the priest’s: “Viva la Fiesta!” Leading the parade were Los Niños de la Flores, young girls with flowers, setting the stage, so to speak, for Spirit of Fiesta Tara Mata and her court of fellow dancers. Ms. Mata, 19, a recent graduate of Santa Barbara City College, danced in the traditional Fiesta white dress and gestured with a white fan, a common part of flamenco. She proceeded with style, grace and a constant smile — the entire route of the parade. Then came more royalty: Saint

Barbara — Lynn Kirst — wearing her crown, robe and gown and standing proudly outside the castle on her float. Then came the horses, of all sizes and colors, with, as Mr. Uribe noted, an uncanny talent for dancing. This was their day to show fancy footwork, and this was the day for their riders to wear traditional costumes. The men had their Old Spanish Days hats, and the women wore bright red, green, blue, you name it, dresses, some of them long enough to wrap the horses with color. In fact, some of the horses wore floral wreaths. This was a day everybody was looking their best. And some horses pulled carriages of various sizes and

colors. Riding in one of those carriages was Mayor Pro Tem Meagan Harmon, smiling widely as she sat next to someone else with a big smile — Junior Spirit Layla Gocong, 9. The Spirits and Junior Spirits from the 2020 and 2021 celebrations, which didn’t have parades, got to be in this one. And this year’s La Presidente Maria Cabrera and her husband, Francisco Cabrera (the honorary presidente), stood proudly on their float. This was the parade’s first time on Cabrillo Boulevard after nearly a century on State Street. A parade couldn’t proceed there this year because of the parklets outside restaurants, and the city

of Santa Barbara is continuing to work on issues such as making the parklets portable (and hence removable for parades). But the News-Press talked with a dozen or so parade goers, and they were unanimous in preferring the wider Cabrillo Boulevard and its backdrop of palm trees and the Pacific Ocean over historic State Street. “You can’t beat a parade next to the beach,” Maritza Corona, a 25year-old Santa Barbara resident and native, said. Charlotte Hamilton, 17, who works at Bluewater Grill, said Cabrillo Boulevard makes for a better environment. Please see PARADE on A3 Above, a horse dances on Cabrillo Boulevard.

Buellton, Ventura County housing projects receive state grants

The checks took place Wednesday during Operation Safe at Home. A wellness check involves the assessment of the living environment and the needs of the

The Santa Barbara County Board of Education voted unanimously Thursday to direct the staff to present a detailed plan on the implementation of video recordings at the Sept. 1 meeting. In May, the board voted 5-2 against video recordings. On June 2, the board voted 7-0 to approve audio recordings. As previously reported by the News-Press, the meetings were long unrecorded, limiting public access. On June 7, Board President Judy Frost requested that video recordings be placed on a future agenda. In Thursday’s meeting, the discussion of video recordings took place. The meeting included a presentation by Superintendent Susan Salcido, regarding audio recordings. Her talk covered details such as cost and the process of posting. She said it takes about two weeks for a recording to be posted to the website for public access. After the discussion, “I made a motion to video-record meetings, which was seconded by Bruce Porter,” board member Michelle de Ward told the News-Press. Mr. Porter noted that the limited access to meetings “undercuts public trust,” according to Ms. de Ward. “The motion failed 4-2,” said Ms.

de Ward. On June 7, at the end of the board meeting, member Peter MacDougal resigned, accounting for the discrepancy in the vote count. “In my opinion, the thinking on the board has come a long way since we first started talking about this,” said Judy Frost, the board president. “I needed that time to process the information about audio and video recordings because it was all new, things not considered in the past. Before I leap into a new process, I need enough information to feel comfortable about the ramifications of what I was doing and what it will mean. “We have been audio-recording since June 9, and there has not been a lot of activity on the YouTube channel, where the audio recordings are posted,” Ms. Fost said. “As we talked it through, my impression is that it’s really not helpful.” Ms. Frost said the board discussed the problems with audio recordings, which include that they’re difficult to understand at times and viewers don’t know who is talking. Ms. Frost and board member Michelle de Ward added that it is hard to follow the presentations of Santa Barbara County Office of Education staff without seeing accompanying slides, and that is a waste.

Additionally, “ more agencies provide recordings of meetings” in the age of post-COVID and Zoom, said Ms. de Ward, noting that she “appreciated the board president, Judy Frost, bringing back the discussion.” “I’m trying to keep an open mind, and the board was much more open about this process,” said Ms. de Ward. “And I think it’s a really positive step forward for our board. And I think we do have a problem with limited public access, and video recording meetings is a solution.” Ms. Frost said that if the board is going to do something, it must do something that works. “There were a lot of factors for me that played into my desire to say that I’m not ready to say do it right now, but I am ready to say to staff, ‘Please develop your detailed plan of what implementation of video recording would look like.’ My hope is that when we see that plan, it will fill in all the gaps I have about the process and that I have fully examined all ramifications, because we have numerous ones including ADA laws. “I am looking forward to having a full picture of what we are talking about and being satisfied,” said Ms. Frost. At the end of Thursday’s meeting, Superintendent Salcido informed the board that the county does possess the necessary

equipment to implement video recordings, if it is decided to make the shift from audio recordings. During the Sept. 1 meeting, the staff is scheduled to present to the board a detailed plan on the implementation of video recordings, including cost, ADA compliance and execution. The Sept. 1 meeting is at 2 p.m. The meeting is open to the public and will take place at the Santa Barbara County Education Office, 4400 Cathedral Oaks Road, Santa Barbara. Mr. Frost told the News-Press that she would like to convey to this newspaper’s readers “our appreciation for patience as the board goes through the process of determining what we are going to do.” She added she would like people “to respect the fact that our intent was to show them that we wanted to be through and we were doing things right and the process was very important to understand. And we didn’t feel comfortable enough with that a few months ago.” To voice your opinion on this matter, write the Board of Education at countyboardofed@ sbceo.org.

counterfeit M30 fentanyl pills, 22.5 pounds of cannabis flower, 27 grams of MDMA or ecstasy, 218 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, three grams of cocaine and hundreds of acid tabs, according to Raquel Zick, the Sheriff’s Office public information officer. Some of the narcotics were found in areas accessible to children who were residing in the residence, Ms. Zick said. As a result, detectives arrested 21-year-old Victor Olivera-Hernandez and booked him at the Northern Branch Jail on suspicion of child cruelty (felony), unlawful possession of ammunition (felony) and possession of narcotics for sales (felony). He is being held on an enhanced bail of $250,000.

CARPINTERIA/SANTA BARBARA — The new carpool lanes between Carpinteria and Santa Barbara, largely funded from Senate Bill 1 and Measure A (the Santa Barbara County sales tax), are the first of their kind in the county. The Caltrans project added peak-period carpool lanes in each direction between Bailard Avenue and the southbound Highway 101 on-ramp at Santa Claus Lane in Carpinteria. This section of Highway 101 is used by about 95,000 commuters, truckers, and tourists per day, who travel between Santa Barbara and Ventura County and throughout the coast, according to Caltrans. “By opening new carpool lanes, we are encouraging people to rideshare and use transit during the most heavily congested periods of the day.

CALIFORNIA

The state has awarded $11.6 million for two affordable housing developments — one in Buellton and the other in unincorporated Ventura County. The Cabrillo Economic Development Corp. has been selected to receive the funding from the California Department of Housing and Community Development and its Housing for a Healthy California Program. One of the complexes, Village Senior Apartments, will be built in Buellton. When completed, the Buellton complex will offer 50 units of permanent supportive housing reserved for seniors and senior veterans. The gated community will include a social services delivery area, a recreation room, a central courtyard for outdoor activities and a community garden, according to the CEDC. “This is funded by a grant of $3,960,000 for 50 units of low income housing for seniors and veterans,” Margarita H. de Escontrias, CEO of CEDC, told the News-Press. “There will be 44 one-bedroom units and six two-bedroom units. We have lined up all the financing for the

development with the exception of tax credits from the state of California.” The CEDC plans to begin construction next summer, pending the approval of tax credits. If tax credits are denied, CEDC plans to reapply for them in early 2023 and postpone construction until December 2023. The process to apply for tax credits is a “highly competitive process that is rated, ranked, scored and given points,” Ms. de Escontrias told the News-Press. “Most of the time, an affordable housing developer will apply two to three times. It is a very complex multi-layered funding.” “We aren’t worried,” she said. “We think we have an extremely competitive application. “This housing is targeted for those at risk of losing housing or have lost housing, as well as seniors looking for affordable units,” she continued. “The homeless population in Santa Barbara has risen about 4% this year, with homeless residing in and outside of Buellton and near Lompoc.” The second grant — this one is $7.6 million — goes to the Camino de Salud project in an unincorporated area of Ventura County. The money will aid in the

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER COVID-19 transmission levels are remaining at a medium level in Santa Barbara County, according to definitions by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This reflects new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population, new COVID-19-related hospital admissions per 100,000 population, and the percent of inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients. COVID-19-related hospitalizations have been increasing, although ICU admissions have been low, according to the health department. There have been two deaths reported over the last week in Santa Barbara County. And BA.5 continues to be the dominant strain on the southern West Coast. Over the last seven days, the weekly average of reported PCR-confirmed cases has decreased by 12.6%. But health officials said this is an underreporting of cases in Santa Barbara County, given increased rapid antigen home tests that are often not reported to the Public Health Department.

New route provides parade with ocean backdrop

PARADE

Continued from Page A1 “There’s more room to sit,” said Ms. Hamilton, who participated in the Historical Parade on State Street when she was a young girl, wearing a traditional Old Spanish Days dress. “It’s awesome. I love it,” she said about this year’s parade. Besides providing an ocean backdrop, the new route helped business at Bluewater Grill. That was clear as a regular number of customers went in and out during the parade. “We were open during the Fourth of July, and we didn’t see a turnout close to this,” Bluewater Grill host Jocelyn Ambrosini told the News-Press. “This is definitely one of our busier days. “It’s just awesome to see everyone in the community come together. It’s such a fun time,” Ms. Ambrosini, 20, said. Standing near Bluewater Grill, Ms. Corona said she’s missed the parade, which didn’t happen in 2020 and 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “I love everything, from the music to the floats to the horses to the confetti eggs,” said Ms. Corona, a brunette who had confetti of various colors in her hair, as did people of all ages along the parade route. “It’s almost unreal to see all these people together,” she said. “It’s awesome. I’m really glad we were able to do it this year.” Mr. Uribe said Cabrillo Boulevard offers a different vibe than State Street. “I think this is way better,” he said. “You have the beach as the background.” While there were free trolleys, many people chose to walk down State Street to Cabrillo Boulevard for the parade. On the way back, music flowed out of restaurants and bars by State Street parklets, everything from recordings of easy-listening pop to Queen’s “Bohemian

Rhapsody.” A mariachi band performed in the back of Joe’s Cafe and could easily be heard out on State Street. Along State Street, people were selling confetti eggs (cascarones), and the Fiesta spirit continued all the way up into El Mercado De la Guerra, where the dancing and music became more dynamic and percussive as the day progressed. At one point, a large crowd gathered to see and hear Grupo Folklórico de West L.A., complete with elaborate headdresses, on stage.

By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — Gov. Gavin Newsom is throwing his support behind a bill moving through the state legislature that would spend $1.65 billion to expand California’s film and TV tax credit through 2030. If passed, Senate Bill 485 would expand the film and TV tax credit for an additional five years, providing $330 million per year in tax credits for filmmakers. The current film and television tax credit program is financed through 2025. Gov. Newsom’s endorsement comes as the governor has made strides in the past to paint the Golden State as a beacon for abortion rights after several states imposed new abortion restrictions following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe. v. Wade in June. On Wednesday, Gov. Newsom ran an ad in Hollywood urging the film industry to continue to film in California as opposed to states like Georgia and Oklahoma, who “have waged a cruel assault on essential rights.” “As other states roll back people’s rights, California will continue to protect fundamental freedoms for all and welcome businesses that stand up for their employees,” said Gov. Newsom. “Extending this program will help ensure California’s worldrenowned entertainment industry continues to drive economic growth with good jobs and a diverse, inclusive workforce.” The state’s film and television tax credit had existed since 2009 when the state introduced a fiveyear program to provide $100 million in tax credits annually. The allocation was increased to $330 million per year in 2015, and the most recent fiveyear iteration of the program launched in July 2020. Independent films, feature films, new TV series, mini-series and pilots can apply for a tax credit that ranges from 20-25% so long as they have a $1 million minimum budget and are produced in California. For independent films, the tax credit applies to only the first $10 million of qualified expenditures, while the credit applies to the first $100 million in qualified expenditures for feature films. The state also offers a tax credit of up to 25% for TV series that filmed its most recent season outside of California and relocates to the state. The series must have a $1 million minimum budget per episode, and the credit reduces to 20% after the first season is filmed in California. Films including “A Star is Born” and “Top Gun: Maverick” qualified as approved projects in Program 2.0, as well as TV series including “Euphoria” and “This is Us.” “A Star is Born” grossed $436.2 million worldwide

and was approved for over $7 million in reserved credits, while “Top Gun: Maverick” has topped $1.3 billion worldwide and was approved for more than $21 million in reserved credits. Supporters of the legislation to expand the tax credit say it is an important tool to bring jobs to the state and keep film production in California. Since launching in 2009, 604 projects have been approved for tax credits, and $2.5 billion in credits have been allocated, according to the California Film Commission. Backers of the bill also tout the economic benefits of the program. A study by the Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation released in March estimated that, for every tax credit dollar allocated, the state saw $24 in economic output. “The Governor’s actions today speak to the values held by so many people across the film and TV production industry,” California Film Commission Executive Director Colleen Bell said in a statement Wednesday. “More than ever, California offers the best value and the best values.” The bill is currently working its way through the state legislature and was heard in the Assembly Appropriations Committee on Wednesday.

John Pitman Memorial Award winners Santa Barbara Conservancy to honor Nicole Hernandez and William Mahan

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

he Santa Barbara Conservancy will present the John Pitman Memorial Award to Nicole Hernandez, architectural historian for the city of Santa Barbara, and architect William Mahan at a ceremony at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the Pico Adobe, 920 Anacapa St. The award is given in honor of the late John Pitman, founder of the Santa Barbara Conservancy, to citizens who have displayed exemplary professional dedication in the preservation of historic architecture and environment. “As the city’s architectural historian, Ms. Hernandez has conducted historic resource surveys, worked with public and private property owners on preservation projects, provided valuable support and recommendations to the city’s Historic Landmarks Commission and worked with community

groups on researching local history,” said architect Steve Hausz, president of the SBC. “Most recently, she played a crucial role in the preparation of the Santa Barbara African American and Black Historic Context Statement.” Before coming to Santa Barbara in 2012, Ms. Hernandez worked as an architectural historian at Historic Denver, Inc. and before that, as architectural historian for the city of New Orleans. She has an MFA in historic preservation from the Savannah College of Art and Design. “During his years of service on many local design and planning review boards, Mr. Mahan has been a tireless voice for preservation and a strong advocate for the highest quality in the design of new buildings,” Mr. Hausz told the News-Press. “Over the course of a long and productive career, he served in leadership positions on the Courthouse Legacy Foundation and the city’s Architectural Board of Review, Planning Commission,

Historic Landmarks Commission and Single Family Design Board.” He is co-founder of the Architectural Foundation of Santa Barbara and past president of the American Institute of Architects Santa Barbara Chapter. In addition to his community service, Mr. Mahan, now retired, was a principal in several important architectural firms in Santa Barbara including Mahan Architects, Sharpe Mahan and Sharpe Mahan Lenny. National recognition came in 2019 when Mr. Mahan was inducted in the prestigious American Institute of Architects College of Fellows. “The SBC advocates for the recognition, preservation and revitalization of historic, architectural and cultural resources in Santa Barbara County. The conservancy works to increase public awareness of and participation in local preservation issues. It provides information and education regarding the preservation of sites, structures

and neighborhoods throughout Santa Barbara County,” Mr. Hausz said. The conservancy has published a variety of educational and entertaining publications devoted to the distinctive architectural and urban history of Santa Barbara including the following titles: “Santa Barbara — A Guide to El Pueblo Viejo” (2nd edition: 2016) explores the city’s extraordinary urban history by way of surveying its alluring Spanish-inspired architecture. Filled with maps, color photographs and a wealth of historical detail and insights, the 294-page publication is available in local stores and online. “Stone Architecture in Santa Barbara” (Arcadia Publishing, 2009) documents the homes, bridges, walls and an assortment of other stonework that line the many streets of Santa Barbara using photographs, both historic and contemporary, that evoke the beauty of stone construction. “Many of these artistic fabrications remain a testimony

to the skills and tastes of their creators and add a distinctive element to the particular ambiance that makes Santa Barbara a special place,” Mr. Hausz pointed out. “Richard Oglesby, Ph.D., author of “Coloring Santa Barbara” (2017) aimed to have a little fun! Twelve members of Santa Barbara’s architectural design community generously gave of their time to create this sometimes romantic, sometimes whimsical, book of illustrations depicting this place we call home. It is available in local stores and online.” John Pitman, who was born in 1930 in Santa Barbara, grew up in an architecturally oriented home that instilled in him the desire to become an architect. His father, Richard Pitman, was chief draftsman for the architect of El Paseo, James Osborne Craig and probably his wife Mary Craig. In 1950 he attended UCSB and the Pasadena Art Center and worked for Neilson Construction Co. as an in-house architect. He

also worked for architect Kem Weber. “In those years, he was greatly encouraged by Robert Ingle Hoyt, prominent local architect, to become licensed as an architect. Around 1962, he passed his state exam and was licensed to practice architecture in California,” according to Mr. Hausz. Mr. Pitman and Peter Edwards, AIA, became partners in1957. Some of their designs in Santa Barbara are the Dabney House, the Snyder House and the Roach House, all shown in “Santa Barbara Architecture, Vol. 3.” “They also designed the Fess Parker Red Lion Hotel on East Cabrillo Boulevard, Santa Barbara Tennis Club, Bank of Montecito on Coast Village Road, Natural History Sea Center and many others, all compatible with their surroundings and sensitive to Santa Barbara’s historic architecture,” Mr. Hausz said. email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

Perhaps intent on getting the trumps in, South went to dummy and returned a trump to his queen. The finesse won, but when South took the ace, the king didn’t fall. Eventually, South had to lead a club from his hand, and he lost two clubs, a diamond and a trump to go down. South took the wrong finesse. A trump finesse might not gain anything even if it won. But if East had the ace of clubs, South could surely hold his club losers to one by leading toward the king.

doubles, you bid one spade and he raises to three spades. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner has a huge hand. He has undertaken a ninetrick contract, and for all he knows, you have nary a point. Your jack of clubs may be worthless, but you have a useful jack and king. Bid four spades.

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

overdo things today, Libra. You may so zealously want to meet your goals that you overshoot the mark by quite a bit. Feel free to express your exuberance and let your enthusiasm shine in whatever you do. At the same time, be careful about getting so carried away that you don’t notice that you’ve already reached the finish line. SCORPIO — Tempers may get hot today when someone says something that pierces you to your core. Address this problem right away, Scorpio, instead of letting it fester through the rest of the day. The solution requires sensitivity and caring. Let the offender know that he or she has hurt you significantly, if that is indeed the case. SAGITTARIUS — Don’t be surprised if you leap out of bed with a spark of inspiration that wasn’t there last night, Sagittarius. Let your dreams linger a bit before you face the world. This flash of genius is likely to strike quickly and unexpectedly, so keep an eye out for it, but don’t consider it something that you can plan on or force into happening. CAPRICORN — Sometimes your emotions overtake your rational thoughts, Capricorn, and you end up acting on impulse. Today you’ll find that your head and heart are aligned on significant issues, and that they’re working well together. Try not to swing the other way by becoming too rational. Your goal is to find the best working balance. AQUARIUS — Review your day as you watch the sunset and observe the clouds turning from white to purple, Aquarius. Make sure that your head is in tune with your heart. Think about the day’s emotions and thought patterns and how they affected your actions. Determine if your actions were a result of either your rational mind or fluctuating moods. PISCES — Your mind is buzzing like a bee, Pisces. You’re apt to find that there’s very little you can do to slow it down. Make sure you add compassion to the chain that’s holding everything together. Also make sure that you don’t become a victim of your thoughts by losing control over how you act simply because the voice in your head has completely taken over.

DAILY BRIDGE “Simple Saturday” columns focus on basic technique and logical thinking. Finesses are fickle; they lose as often as they win. (Some players insist that their finesses always lose.) It’s doubly unpleasant to face two finesses and wonder which one to try. In today’s deal, South might have bid 3NT at his third turn. Against four hearts, West led the deuce of spades, and South won. The king of diamonds was dummy’s only entry, so South could finesse in trumps or he could lead toward his king of clubs.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Mornings aren’t usually your best time, Aries. You aren’t fully awake until afternoon. Try not to discount the events of this particular morning, however. More than likely, you’ll enjoy your best mental clarity sometime before noon. Surprise people with an upbeat attitude and a solution for every problem that comes your way. TAURUS — Your world may seem rather tight and rigid this morning, Taurus, but the good news is that difficulties are apt to melt away as the day progresses. Don’t assume that opinions are fixed in stone. Things can change in an instant. Even if they seem one way at one point, more than likely they’re going to manifest themselves completely differently later. GEMINI — This is one of those days in which you’re better able to stand back and look at your emotions intellectually, Gemini. Your freedom-loving nature isn’t built to deal with heavy emotional baggage and turmoil, so don’t bother trying. Be especially wary of those who seem to plop a problem in front of you and expect you to deal with it. CANCER — Prepare for a surprise today, Cancer. Perhaps it will come from someone else or perhaps it will come from you. Either way, by evening you’re apt to be feeling quite lovey-dovey and rather spaced out. Give in to the lethargic attitude that might sweep over you. LEO — Things seem to be going quite well for you in many respects, Leo. Your thinking is clear, your emotions are under control, and the puzzle pieces are fitting into place. This is your time to take advantage of these pockets of good fortune and turn them into something huge. You have the power to make anything happen - especially now. VIRGO — Your engine may sputter this morning as your gears begin to turn, Virgo. It could be that you’re working out something important in your mind that’s helping clarify your emotions. The answer you seek is probably nothing like the one you’ll find. By the time night comes, you’ll have everything figured out. LIBRA — Be careful not to

California Propositions 26 and 27 become the most expensive ballot measures since 1999 By VICTORIA ANTRAM BALLOTPEDIA VIA THE CENTER SQUARE

Committees supporting and opposing California Propositions 26 and 27, which would enact in-person and mobile sports betting respectively, have raised over $256.4 million, becoming the most expensive ballot measures in California history. The committees eclipsed the 2020 app-based drivers initiative, Proposition 22, which raised $224.3 million. Proposition 26, backed by American Indian tribes, would legalize sports betting at American Indian gaming casinos and licensed racetracks in California. Proposition 27, which is supported by BetMGM LLC, FanDuel Sportsbook, and DraftKings, would legalize online and mobile sports betting. The latest campaign finance filings filed on Aug. 1 cover through June 30. The Yes on 26, No on 27 – Coalition for Safe, Responsible Gaming PAC is leading the campaigns supporting Proposition 26 and opposing Proposition 27. The PAC reported over $73 million in contributions. No on 26 – Taxpayers Against Special Interest Monopolies is leading the campaign against Proposition 26. The campaign, along with the now terminated No on the Gambling

Proposition 26, backed by American Indian tribes, would legalize sports betting at American Indian gaming casinos and licensed racetracks in California. Proposition 27, which is supported by BetMGM LLC, FanDuel Sportsbook, and DraftKings, would legalize online and mobile sports betting. Power Grab PAC, raised $42.24 million. The top donors to the opposition were gamblingrelated companies, including the California Commerce Club, Hawaiian Gardens Casino, Knighted Ventures LLC, Park West Casinos, The Bicycle Hotel & Casino, and PT Gaming LLC. Yes on 27 – Californians for Solutions to Homelessness and Mental Health Support PAC was registered to support Proposition 27. The PAC raised over $100 million with BetMGM LLC, FanDuel Sportsbook, and DraftKings each contributing $16.7 million. No on 27 – Californians for Tribal Sovereignty and Safe Gaming PAC was also registered to oppose Proposition 27. It reported over $41.1 million in contributions. The top contributors were the San Manuel

Band of Mission Indians, the Rincon Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the Rincon Reservation California, and the Pala Casino Resort Spa. Based on available reports on Cal-Access, which provides information on campaign finance from 1999 to the present, the next most expensive measures behind Proposition 26, Proposition 27, and Proposition 22 were four veto referendums against gaming compacts – Propositions 94, 95, 96, and 97 – that raised a combined total of $154.5 million in contributions. Californians will decide on seven ballot propositions this November. Ballotpedia is tracking 11 committees surrounding the measures with a total of $352.1 million in contributions.

Texas Gov. Abbott buses illegal immigrants to NYC after city’s mayor doesn’t take up invitation to visit southern border By BETHANY BLANKLEY THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – Texas Gov. Greg Abbott this week invited New York City Mayor Eric Adams to visit the southern border and see first-hand the costs Texans are bearing as a result of “President Biden’s border crisis.” By Friday, he’d announced the first bus of illegal immigrants had arrived in New York City from Texas. Gov. Abbott’s invitation came after Mayor Adams publicly blamed the Texas governor for the influx of illegal immigrants being flown into his “sanctuary city,” calling it a “humanitarian crisis.” The city’s budget, its social services, including its homeless shelters, are all strained, and its public schools will be experiencing an influx of enrollment of non-Englishspeakers he said the city doesn’t have the resources to support. At the time, Gov. Abbott clarified the influx of people arriving in New York City were being transported by the Biden administration and Texas had only sent several thousand people to Washington, D.C. But after Mayor Adams didn’t take up his offer to visit the southern border, Gov. Abbott began busing people to NYC. On Friday, Gov. Abbott announced the arrival of the first bus that dropped off people Friday morning at the Port Authority Bus Terminal Gate 14. “Because of President Biden’s continued refusal to acknowledge the crisis caused by his open border policies, the State of Texas has had to take unprecedented

action to keep our communities safe,” Gov. Abbott said. “In addition to Washington, D.C., New York City is the ideal destination for these migrants, who can receive the abundance of city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about within the sanctuary city. I hope he follows through on his promise of welcoming all migrants with open arms so that our overrun and overwhelmed border towns can find relief.” Gov. Abbott also said he would continue to bus people to Washington, D.C. “until Biden does his job of securing the border.” He told Fox News, “Public officials across the country … need to realize the magnitude of the chaos created by Biden’s open border policies. They’re up in arms about a few thousand people coming into their communities over the past few months. In any one sector of the state of Texas, we have more than 5,000 people coming across every single day. We’re full in the state of Texas. Our communities are overrun.” Last week, Mayor Adams held a news conference saying the influx of people was “a real burden on New Yorkers as we’re trying to do the right thing. We already have an overburdened shelter system so now we’re talking about food, clothing, school. This is going to impact our schools because we do not turn away individuals because they are undocumented. There’s just a whole host of things that this is going to produce and that’s why we need help.” As one of the few cities in the U.S. with “right to housing” laws, New York City is required to

provide emergency shelter for every unhoused person. Gov. Abbott pointed out that the mayor’s problem wasn’t with him but with President Biden. “President Biden’s open border policies created this ongoing humanitarian crisis,” he said, “allowing record-high illegal crossings and deadly drugs like fentanyl to flood into our state. A crisis that has overrun and overwhelmed our border towns and communities across our state, whose requests for help have gone ignored and unanswered by the Biden Administration.” While Mayor Adams and the mayor of Washington, D.C., have complained about receiving several hundred people a day combined, Texas is dealing with over 5,000 people entering its five Border Patrol sectors every day. In June in the Big Bend Sector, there were nearly 3,000 people who were apprehended or recorded as gotaways. In the Del Rio Sector, there were over 57,000; in the El Paso Sector, over 35,000; in Laredo Sector, over 14,000; in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, over 49,000. The Biden administration has been releasing illegal immigrants from over 150 countries into the U.S. instead of deporting them or requiring them to remain in Mexico while their immigrationrelated claims are considered. The administration’s catch and release program is one of several policies that Florida has sued over. U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell of the Northern District of Florida Pensacola Division said the administration’s catch and release position “was as

Gov. Abbott’s invitation came after Mayor Adams publicly blamed the Texas governor for the influx of illegal immigrants being flown into his “sanctuary city,” calling it a “humanitarian crisis.” remarkable as it is wrong because it is well established that no one, not even the President, is above the law and the Court unquestionably has the authority to say what the law is and to invalidate action of the executive branch that contravenes the law and/or the Constitution. Thus, if Florida’s allegations that Defendants are essentially flaunting the immigration laws are proven to be true, the Court most certainly can (and will) do something about it.” Texas also has sued over numerous border security and immigration-related policies, having already won several cases.

California lawmakers advance bill to protect immigration status in court By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE

(The Center Square) – California could soon permanently protect a person’s immigration status in court cases where it is not deemed relevant under a bill headed to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk. Assembly lawmakers voted unanimously Thursday to pass Senate Bill 836, which expands upon provisions in an existing law, SB 785, signed by former Gov. Jerry Brown in 2018. The law prohibited the disclosure of a person’s immigration status in court unless a presiding judge determines it is relevant to the case, meaning an attorney could not question a witness about their immigration status unless a judge deemed it relevant in a private hearing. The previous law had a sunset date of January 1, 2022. SB 836 removes the sunset date and would take effect immediately if signed by the governor. Supporters of the bill testified Thursday that the law would safeguard the ability to participate in the justice system for immigrants lacking permanent legal status. “We cannot have a criminal justice system in which victims are reluctant to report crimes, testify as witnesses or pursue justice in California courts,” Assemblymember Ash Kalra, D-San Jose, told lawmakers Thursday. “When an individual’s immigration status is publicly aired in our courthouses, officers of the courts can

Heaven welcomed its newest ukulele player, William “Bill” Henry Losee Jr., who passed away peacefully on July 27th at the age of 89, surrounded by his family. Bill moved to Santa Barbara from Fresno in 2007. On Saturday afternoons, you could ﬁnd him performing with the Santa Barbara Ukelele Club at the harbor. He worked as a volunteer at the Granada, the Santa Barbara Visitors Center at the beach, and the Santa Barbara Newcomers Club, where he helped residents make new friends and learn about their hometown. He was an active resident of the Samarkand Community, where he lived with his loving companion and spiritual partner, artist Susan Fridley. Together, they enjoyed concerts, art galleries, and museums in town. Bill’s greatest joy in life was his family and his deep faith in God. His optimism and resilience made him an inspiration to all. Born in Ogden, Utah in 1933 to William Henry Losee and Virginia Losee (Loughran), he was the oldest of four siblings. He graduated from Fresno State in 1955 and was drafted into the Navy where he spent two years based in Japan. He married his college sweetheart, Myra (Zahlis), in 1957 in Carmel Valley, a highlight of his life. They settled in San Rafael and raised three sons prior to moving to Fresno where Bill bought the local Avis truck rental franchise. He was a successful businessman who supported his community as a Rotarian and an avid Fresno State Bulldog supporter. Bill was preceded in death by his wife Myra Losee (Zahlis), son Kevin Losee, and granddaughter Kendall Kay Losee. He is survived by his sons Craig Losee and Eric Losee, grandchildren Hunter Losee, Jackson Losee, and Paige Losee, as well as brother Dan Losee, sisters Beth Fahlstrom (Losee), JuDee Peterson (Losee) and many loving cousins, nieces, and nephews.

LOSEE, William “Bill”

show the participation of undocumented immigrants by conveying to them that if they participate, they may be deported. “California courts should uphold justice for everyone, regardless of immigration status.” The bill received a 69-0 vote in the Assembly on Thursday and had no registered opposition as it made its way through the Legislature. The bill’s author, Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, had initially introduced SB 785 after circulating reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents monitoring and detaining immigrants without permanent legal status at courthouses. The situation caused California Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye to write a letter to former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and former Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly in 2017 expressing concern about immigration agents “stalking undocumented immigrants in our courthouses to make arrests.” Sen. Wiener said Thursday that SB 836 will ensure protections for immigrants in court for years to come. “In order to truly be a sanctuary state, California has to ensure undocumented people coming forward to testify in court are protected,” he said in a statement. “Exposing people’s immigration status when it’s not relevant to a case is an intimidation tactic, and we won’t stand for it.”
