Sacramento, CA – Marin County’s Senator Mike McGuire successfully secured an additional $4 million in this year’s state budget to fill the vast majority of the funding gap needed to kick off the groundbreaking of the transformational veteran homeless housing community in Novato.

Sacramento – Senators Mike McGuire and Anthony J. Portantino released the following statement today regarding Senate Bill 98:

“As the author and co-author of SB 98, we are committed to making the bill a strong measure that protects press freedom. Press access to first amendment events is critical to the future of our democracy. 

To that end, we have agreed to fix the problem and amend the bill back to its original form. We’ll complete this action in the bill’s first Assembly committee.

Sacramento, CA – Senator Mike McGuire and a coalition of bipartisan legislators from across Northern California representing areas devastated by recent wildfires caused by PG&E have sent a formal request to Attorney General Rob Bonta to hold the Fire Victim Trust accountable, expedite payments to fire survivors and avoid excessive administrative costs.

North Coast, CA – A huge important milestone was achieved today as the final alternatives for the Last Chance Grade Project were narrowed down to two final routes. And, as promised by state and federal officials who have been pushing to reduce the timeline on the environmental and engineering studies, this critical step will shave an entire year off the project schedule. 

And: This move will save taxpayers $10 million in studies and greatly reduce the risk of delays and cost increases moving forward.
