SUMMARY:State of the State
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear from experts on how policy and politics in Sacramento impact businesses on the Central Coast.\nWith nearly one-third of California’s State Legislature new to Sacramento and increased vitriol between parties at the national level\, there is a lot to think about when looking ahead to the upcoming year. Join us for this year’s State of the State\, where Senator John Laird and veteran journalist and co-founder of CalMatters\, David Lesher\, will share insight on major national\, state and regional issues\, including housing\, inflation\, homelessness\, small business support\, Diablo Canyon Power Plant and more. \nRegister now to secure your spot and hear from your elected officials as they reflect on 2023\, brief us on major policy changes that could be implemented in 2024\, and share the story of the politics around policy. \nFEATURING \n\nSenator John Laird \nJohn Laird was elected to the State Senate in 2020 to represent Senate District 17.
