Legislature Goes From Bad to Worse

By Kevin Kiley, Republican Assemblyman District 6, Congressional candidate District 3.

A federal court has stopped Biden from ending Title 42. This is very good news. But in the Legislature, the latest news isn’t as good. 

First, the “Public Safety” Committee again voted against my bill to overturn Prop. 47, electing to let California remain the smash-and-grab capital of the world. Second, after rejecting my bill to suspend the gas tax four times, the Legislature is now making the tax go up on July 1. 

It’s a tribute to the sheer insanity of the Supermajority that they find ways to outdo Gavin Newsom. The “Vaccine Work Group” bills are the worst example –and 3 just passed committees.

• SB 1479: imposes an onerous school COVID testing mandate

• SB 1018: makes social media companies disclose how “health information” is displayed (perhaps a preemptive strike against ex-Californian Elon Musk)

• AB 1797: reduces privacy of the California Immunization Record Database

As to Elon, James Gallagher and I have tried to stop social media censorship in California. I hope all Americans will soon look back in horror at how censorship became a norm in public discourse.

Social media bias is one problem; media lies are another. The Sacramento Bee is on a rampage against me, even publishing a ridiculous cartoon. Our opponents know we're poised for an incredibly important election victory and are going to pull out all the stops these next few weeks.
