Michael Rushford, Criminal Justice Legal Foundation: Building enough housing required to accommodate the 130,000 people living outside in California would be extremely expensive. But there are alternatives. Sacramento County taxpayers, for example, have paid $2.3 million over the past five years to maintain the vacant Boys Ranch sitting on 140 rural acres with 12 buildings. It could easily accommodate homeless people.

Newsom's homeless plan draws local backlash. Texas sues California over state travel ban. New worker law survives initial court challenge.

Kate Gordon and Lenny Mendonca, Office of Planning & Resource and GO-Biz: California is a high road economic development state. Our innovative spirit includes a responsibility to leave the world better than we found it. We are excited to see regions step forward with their own visions for this high road approach to regional economic development. Metro Bakersfield and Kern County is a great example.

Meet the people who've sent the 2020 presidential candidates small campaign contributions — hundreds of times. These add up. Just ask Bernie Sanders.
