January 11, 2006 - Costly Privatization Plan Implemented
Just prior to announcing an all-encompassing $225 BILLION plan to address California's crumbling infrastructure do you:
a) re-open/fill existing cost-effective fire camps with Level I inmates;
b) ensure that all MSFs have full compliment of Level I inmates to provide necessary services to state facilities; or
c) transfer 360 Level I inmates to a closed private prison and transfer an additional 225 Level II inmates to other private prisons operated by large campaign contributors, costing taxpayers additional tens of millions of dollars (but only after you de-activate MSF, other beds from existing state facilities)??
See attached official notice from DPA informing CCPOA of their answer. You get three guesses.

June 29, 2005 - Legislative Update
- AB 314, our CYA reform bill, has passed the Assembly and is now in the Senate. This bill has been made a "two-year" bill. The Public Safety Committees of both houses of the Legislature are unwilling to pass a reform proposal until they see the administrations proposal.
- AB 643 by Assemblywoman Negrette McLeod passed from Senate Public Employment and Retirement Committee this week on a 3-2 vote. The bill requires the employer to meet and confer with a verified supervisory organization 30 days prior to changing a provision of a previous meet and confer.
- AB 971 by Jerome Horton originally required Wardens to complete a psychological evaluation prior to appointment and required that facility surveillance videos be used for training purposes. This bill has been amended to require CYA Superintendents to complete the same Office of Inspector General vetting and screening process prior to appointment as do CDC wardens.
- AB 698 (Haynes) dealing with media access to prisons, passed out of the Senate Public Safety Committee on a vote of 6 - 0. The bill is now pending hearing on the Senate Floor.
- AB 545 by Assembly Member Garcia is our sponsored bill that requires that all allegations and complaints of misconduct by correctional peace officers be investigated. This bill is in Appropriations Committee Suspense file.
- AB 276 by Assembly Member Baca dealing with veterans benefits has been amended to remove combat pay language from the bill that would have allowed state employees who are National Guard members or military reserists to retain their special allowances, such as combat pay.
