A $7 billion bond measure that could have funded a California State University, Stockton died on the state Assembly floor Friday. Partially because the CSU system didn’t support it.
Feel free to join me in being irritated with the California State University Chancellor’s Office. The chancellor supported a rival, $4 billion bond measure that would fund repairs to existing CSU and University of California campuses but build no new ones.
...
So what now? Eggman and her co-authors will reintroduce the bill next year. Brown will be termed out; gubernatorial frontrunner Gavin Newsom supports a CSU, Stockton.
Eggman and others will push for creation of an independent office that determines objectively when a new CSU is needed, and where.
(Sacramento) - Assemblymember Susan Talamantes Eggman (D-Stockton) rallied on the steps of the State Capitol with childcare providers, parents and activists in support of Assembly Bill 2292, which expands access to infant and toddler care, and the budget request for “$1-Billion Dollars for Babies”, one of the budget priorities of the California Legislative Women’s Caucus. “These are people who want to work. Who want to be able to give back to society. To do positive role modeling for their kids,” Assemblymember Eggman said.
(Sacramento) - Assemblymember Susan Talamantes Eggman (D-Stockton), Chair of the Assembly Committee on Accountability and Administrative Review, led an oversight hearing and asked tough questions regarding the California WaterFix. “The wisdom of Governor Brown’s proposal to build twin tunnels through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to deliver water to Southern California continues to be called into question,” Assemblymember Eggman said.
AB2771 has exciting potential. Assemblywoman Susan Eggman, D-Stockton, has co-authored this $7 billion university bond. The Higher Education Facilities Bond Act of 2018 would address billions of dollars in capital needs and long-postponed maintenance at aging University of California and California State campuses.
And it would include enough extra moola to fund three new campuses. Including, say, a California Polytechnic University, Stockton. Or a plain old Stockton State.
“Can I automatically say we’re going to get a campus with this?” said Eggman. “I don’t know that I can say that. But I can say it puts us a whole lot closer to the goal line, with money on the table.”
The bill won bipartisan approval this week in the Assembly Higher Education Committee.
SACRAMENTO—A $7 billion Higher Education Construction Bond jointly authored by Assemblymember Susan Talamantes Eggman (D-Stockton), Assemblymember Tim Grayson (D-Concord), and Assemblymember Shirley Weber (D-San Diego) was approved today in a bi-partisan vote by the Assembly Higher Education Committee. Assembly Bill 2771 would finance projects at the California State University and University of California for student housing, deferred maintenance backlogs, improvements to existing campuses, and the potential development of new campuses.
