Sacramento — Senate Majority Leader Mike McGuire, Chair of the Joint Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture (JCFA), is gearing up for this Wednesday’s hearing in the State Capitol focused on California’s burgeoning offshore wind industry. This hearing will explore how to expedite the deployment of green energy while protecting the interests of California’s fishing fleet and ensuring coastal environmental safeguards remain in place.

Santa Rosa— Senator McGuire has negotiated a huge win for Santa Rosa’s own ‘Central Park’ – the Southeast Greenway project. Thirteen years in the making, the agreement will ensure the State releases 47 acres (a total of 2 contiguous miles) that was once going to be a four-lane extension of Highway 12. The Greenway will be transformed in the coming years into an urban wonderland of trails, parks and desperately needed affordable housing. 

Sacramento—Senate Majority Leader Mike McGuire and Assemblymember Jim Wood released a joint statement in support of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisor’s swift action denouncing last week’s incidence of devastating hate speech:

Sacramento — Between 2017 and 2021, 54 employees at CSU campuses were found to have committed violations of sexual misconduct and discrimination. The violations included requests for sex, unwanted touching and aggressive verbal harassment.

Those perpetrators have no place in the Golden State’s university system, which is why Senate Majority Leader Mike McGuire has introduced SB 791, the California College Sexual Harassment Disclosure Act. 

This bill has now overwhelmingly passed both the Senate Education and Judiciary Committees.
