As ever, the issues span the political spectrum. But two address the environment, one asking voters to shell out billions to improve it and another that could make it more difficult for the state to spend billions on helpful projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taken together, these measures would provide money to shore up crumbling levees, give kids more places to play and help clean the air -- albeit at a price -- and affect how the state spends proceeds of the cap-and-trade system that California uses to reduce greenhouse gases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s unpack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 68 would grant state officials permission to borrow $4.1 billion for water infrastructure projects, wildlife habitat restoration and new parks in low-income neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the measure you can’t really say you are against, for fear of being labeled a Scrooge. Is it possible to be against water, wildlife and parks? Might as well call this the “We Love Puppies and Babies” measure. Just remember that some puppies -- and babies, for that matter -- may bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sting comes when the bill is due. California voters have OK’d bond measures for water and parks projects many times, approving the borrowing of nearly $16 billion since 2002. They’ve made it clear they stand behind such projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How is Proposition 68 any different? It’s not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The borrowed money must be paid back, with interest. That is estimated to cost more than $200 million a year. For decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look at who opposes it: the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, which rarely approves of expenditures that come out of taxpayers’ pockets. But neither the organization nor any other opponent of the proposition has spent a penny to stop it. Supporters, on the other hand, have shelled out more than $9 million to sing the measure’s praises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s water infrastructure is in bad shape. The bond apportions $1.27 billion for levees and flood protection and another $1.5 billion to shore up rivers and coastal areas to withstand the effect of climate change and rising seas.

The funds -- more than $5 billion since the program’s inception -- would be placed in a special reserve, to be released only with that supermajority vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal, placed on the ballot by the Legislature, is a purely political product.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was part of last summer’s deal to keep California’s cap-and-trade system going -- a requirement to gain the support of Chad Mayes, then the leader of the Assembly’s Republicans (he lost his post because of his support).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea is that raising the vote threshold would give the Legislature’s minority Republicans more say in which projects get hundreds of millions of dollars in funding from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way it works now is that simple majority votes determine how the money is spent. It mainly goes to projects that reduce carbon emissions or help low-income communities with housing, transportation, sustainability and recreation projects, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is constant debate in the Legislature about how elastic the definition of “emissions reduction” has become.

Mayes and Democratic Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon became known for their rare \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LaurelRosenhall/status/715613598681202688\">bipartisan bromance\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Mayes is hardly a liberal sop. The son of an evangelical preacher raised in a desert town near Palm Springs, Mayes opposed Democrats’ plan to raise gas taxes to pay for road repairs. He voted against bills to increase the minimum wage and pay overtime to farmworkers. He earned an A+ rating from the Firearms Policy Coalition for his votes supporting gun rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, his chummy approach to Democrats didn’t fly with Republican party activists, who publicly accused him of having \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article162290823.html\">an extramarital affair\u003c/a> with a former assemblywoman as the cap and trade vote loomed.

Party leaders felt the cap and trade extension was both bad policy and bad politics because in delivering Republican votes for the bill, Mayes allowed some Democrats to vote against it.

Mayes and Democratic Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon became known for their rare \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LaurelRosenhall/status/715613598681202688\">bipartisan bromance\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Mayes is hardly a liberal sop. The son of an evangelical preacher raised in a desert town near Palm Springs, Mayes opposed Democrats’ plan to raise gas taxes to pay for road repairs. He voted against bills to increase the minimum wage and pay overtime to farmworkers. He earned an A+ rating from the Firearms Policy Coalition for his votes supporting gun rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, his chummy approach to Democrats didn’t fly with Republican party activists, who publicly accused him of having \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article162290823.html\">an extramarital affair\u003c/a> with a former assemblywoman as the cap and trade vote loomed. (Mayes declined to answer questions about his personal life, other than to confirm that he is going through a divorce.) After the vote—and his participation in a bipartisan celebration in Gov. Jerry Brown’s office—the California Republican Party took the unusual step of \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-ca-essential-politics-updates-chad-mayes-told-to-step-down-as-1503115777-htmlstory.html\">formally urging\u003c/a> Mayes to step down. Party leaders felt the cap and trade extension was both bad policy and bad politics because in delivering Republican votes for the bill, Mayes allowed some Democrats to vote against it. The Democratic supermajority had splintered over cap and trade, with some progressives opposing it as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-climate-deal-net-big-bucks-polluters/\">too business-friendly\u003c/a>, and some moderates withholding support to appease conservative voters in their swing districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11613721\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/MayesDahle-e1503608995728-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Assembly Republican Leader Chad Mayes (R-Yucca Valley) announces the election of his successor, Brian Dahle (R-Bieber). \" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11613721\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Assembly Republican Leader Chad Mayes (R-Yucca Valley) announces the election of his successor, Brian Dahle (R-Bieber). \u003ccite>(Guy Marzorati/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Harmeet Dhillon, who represents California on the Republican National Committee, said Mayes was too focused on being liked by Democrats, and criticized him for handing Brown a victory by supporting cap and trade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We should all be bipartisan on issues that genuinely two sides can agree on.

But some critics say it merely gives a lucrative financial leg-up to polluting firms that don’t need it—and by removing some of those firms’ incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, could even undermine cap and trade’s prime goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[CaClimateDeal]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complex program, which took effect in 2013, illustrates the delicate balancing act California is trying to pull off as it works to lead the world in aggressively combating climate change while simultaneously fostering a robust economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how it works: California sets a steadily decreasing “cap” on greenhouse gas emissions each year, and sells major businesses permits, known as allowances, allowing them to pollute. To ease the burden on industry, the state also gives many permits away for free. That allocation is determined by a complicated formula that depends, in part, on how likely the companies are to flee the state if regulations become too financially burdensome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air board has grouped businesses into three categories based on whether they are at high-, medium- or low-risk of moving out of state. Each category is assigned an “industry assistance factor” that plays into the formula for free allowances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-risk industries such as oil and gas producers are guaranteed 100 percent assistance in perpetuity. The two other categories have been receiving maximum assistance since 2013, but that was scheduled to drop next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That meant hundreds of businesses—primarily oil refineries, but also fruit and vegetable canneries, large wineries and breweries, plaster and stucco manufacturers, and assorted other smokestack industries—were slated to receive fewer free allowances for three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system was designed to be generous in the early years of the program, but as businesses adjusted, the state intended to wean companies off the allowances. In recent years the air board staff has even recommended dropping below the 75 and 50 percent reductions scheduled to take effect next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But each time the board considered peeling away some of the allowances, California businesses have fought back with chilling declarations of financial ruin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the July meeting, the board unanimously passed a resolution asking staff to produce a regulation change that would keep all California’s covered industries at the 100 percent assistance rate. It will make a final decision later, although dozens of lobbyists at the meeting lined up to offer their thanks as if it were a done deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air board’s move would ensure industry the maximum assistance through 2020. The cap-and-trade bill then guarantees it through from 2021 to 2030. The upshot: California will have bestowed the biggest possible financial cushion to every polluter in the state for the entirety of cap and trade’s existence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Brown’s office referred reporters’ questions to the air board, which is part of his administration. The board chair—a Brown appointee—said she was not privy to legislators’ deals. She noted that the board frequently adjusts any number of aspects of the regulations and that focusing on which companies got which allowances misses the larger point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From my perspective, my eye is on the ball—it’s a long ball,” said Mary Nichols. She added that the agency is focused on running a market-based program that is “calm and well managed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11613069\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11613069 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-800x539.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-800x539.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-1180x795.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-960x647.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-240x162.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-375x253.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-520x350.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gov.

The actual resolution the board considered, as well as the staff’s discussion, were not publicly available prior to the meeting. In fact, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/board/res/2017/res17-21.pdf\">proposal \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2016/capandtrade16/ctresoatta.pdf\">affiliated documents\u003c/a> were not posted on the air board’s website until a week after the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One board member said that during the meeting there was confusion about what the panel was voting on, and called the process rushed and sloppy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I knew I would have asked, ‘Is the assistance factor going from 75 percent to 100?’ \"said Dean Florez, a former state senator who now sits on the air board. “I don’t know if everyone knew that that’s what they were voting on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Florez said that if he were voting on the resolution today, he would abstain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the board’s vote last month, a leading energy economist \u003ca href=\"https://www.ghgpolicy.org/blog/resolution-17-21\">has determined\u003c/a> that extending the higher rate of industry assistance for three years would amount to a $300 million benefit to oil refineries. The boon to other emitters—such as food processors and aerospace manufacturers—would likely come to tens of millions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the Legislature comes in and says, ‘We don’t care what experts say about allocations, we still want to give away more,’ that’s a political decision and that’s a big part of the politics of (the cap-and- trade bill),” said Danny Cullenward, who works at Near Zero, a climate policy think tank at Carnegie Institution and teaches at Stanford’s law school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But this is specifically going against what, at least as of a couple of months ago, was what the air board said was the right way to approach this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry assistance program was created to acknowledge that the cost of complying with state rules might place some companies at a competitive disadvantage. In some cases, as with utilities, the free allocations were meant to protect ratepayers from sticker shock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Businesses say the program helps them keep prices lower for consumers while maintaining jobs in California. Cathy Reheis-Boyd, president of the Western States Petroleum Association, said that without free permits to emit greenhouse gases, oil refineries could find it too expensive to do business in California—accelerating a trend that’s already seen the number of refineries in the state drop 50 percent since 1985.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been a decline in the number of refineries over time due to increasing costs and the difficulty of managing that,” Reheis-Boyd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorothy Rothrock, president of the California Manufacturers & Technology Association, contended that the air board bears the burden of proof to demonstrate that its policies are not harming business. In her view, they are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compare investment rates in manufacturing in California to the rest of the country, she said, and the results are “pathetic. It’s really alarming. California is sucking wind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is sometimes difficult to square businesses’ dire depiction of a gasping industrial sector with the governor’s insistence that California’s climate policies have not been a drag on the state’s robust economic engine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Florez, at least, said he wants companies to show their work. “Prove why 75 percent is not working,” he said. “I would like people to prove to me that they are leaving. Prove that this would be so onerous that you will leave the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business officials seldom provide studies or specifics to make their case, saying disclosing that information equates to revealing trade secrets. For the most part, the board has been sympathetic to industry’s needs, having once before canceled a scheduled drop in cap-and-trade’s assistance to industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But economist Stephen Levy said the economic impact of strict emissions rules is actually negligible. “You create some jobs, some jobs are lost. The numbers are miniscule,” said Levy, director of the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy, a private economic research firm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the issue of businesses leaving California, he was skeptical. “Are they saying they are leaving because of air quality rules or because the CEO wants to live somewhere else?” Levy said. “Leaving doesn’t always mean ‘leaving because of the regulations.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, business complaints loomed large as state leaders debated cap and trade this spring. The program was set to expire in 2020 and Brown—positioning himself as the environmental antithesis of Republican President Donald Trump—was determined to sign a law extending it for another decade. He wanted a deal that could pass with a two-thirds supermajority to protect cap and trade from further legal challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That meant walking a political tightrope. Though Democrats have a supermajority in the Legislature, some were not going to support cap and trade—either as progressives who see the program as too business-friendly, or as moderates who fear angering conservative voters in swing districts. \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/latest-california-innovation-republican-case-cap-trade/\">Republicans\u003c/a> also were divided on the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the stakes, a powerful coalition of industry groups spent millions lobbying to shape the cap-and-trade extension, and then threw its weight behind the final bill. Securing the continuation of free allowances between 2021 and 2030 was a key item on industry’s wish list—and was included in the version of the bill Brown signed at the ceremony overlooking San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblywoman Monique Limon of Santa Barbara, one of three Democrats who voted against the bill, said she was concerned the free allowances, coupled with other provisions, could weaken the environmental power of cap and trade, and ultimately hamper the state’s ability to reach its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the end, my vote reflected that I didn’t have the evidence I needed to…believe we will successfully get there,” Limon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Jim Cooper, a business-friendly Democrat from Elk Grove who voted to extend cap and trade, said maintaining the free allowances was important to him because it keeps costs down for the agricultural interests in his Central Valley district that are facing global competition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m looking at it at the 30,000-foot level,” Cooper said. “Do we want to drive our dairy herds out of California?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the lawmakers’ debate over the appropriate rate of industry assistance in the cap-and-trade extension addressed how the program will operate from 2021 to 2030. The law Brown signed doesn’t say anything about industry assistance before then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, that appears to have been worked out in an agreement that’s left little in the way of a paper trail or explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia, who has a non-voting seat on the air board, said politicians had to agree to grant the free allowances—before 2021 and after—in order to get enough votes for his bill to pass. And, he said, because lawmakers also approved \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/pollution-bill-legislature-just-passed-downpayment-environmental-justice/\">a companion bill\u003c/a> to better monitor air quality in industrial neighborhoods, he feels confident that the end result is good for Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How cap and trade gets implemented will help determine whether the state has a shot at reaching its 2030 climate targets ”an ambitious accomplishment that most people believe (the cap-and-trade extension) has just delivered,” said Cullenward, the economist. He noted that a $300 million “transfer of wealth from the general public to a special interest is a notable development, but I’m not claiming this particular episode will make or break the whole cap-and-trade program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If regulators take the same industry-friendly approach to the rest of its cap-and-trade operations, he added, “it will.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"New provisions to California's cap-and-trade program will likely benefit the oil and agriculture industries.

Each category is assigned an “industry assistance factor” that plays into the formula for free allowances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-risk industries such as oil and gas producers are guaranteed 100 percent assistance in perpetuity. The two other categories have been receiving maximum assistance since 2013, but that was scheduled to drop next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That meant hundreds of businesses—primarily oil refineries, but also fruit and vegetable canneries, large wineries and breweries, plaster and stucco manufacturers, and assorted other smokestack industries—were slated to receive fewer free allowances for three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system was designed to be generous in the early years of the program, but as businesses adjusted, the state intended to wean companies off the allowances. In recent years the air board staff has even recommended dropping below the 75 and 50 percent reductions scheduled to take effect next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But each time the board considered peeling away some of the allowances, California businesses have fought back with chilling declarations of financial ruin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the July meeting, the board unanimously passed a resolution asking staff to produce a regulation change that would keep all California’s covered industries at the 100 percent assistance rate. It will make a final decision later, although dozens of lobbyists at the meeting lined up to offer their thanks as if it were a done deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air board’s move would ensure industry the maximum assistance through 2020. The cap-and-trade bill then guarantees it through from 2021 to 2030. The upshot: California will have bestowed the biggest possible financial cushion to every polluter in the state for the entirety of cap and trade’s existence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Brown’s office referred reporters’ questions to the air board, which is part of his administration. The board chair—a Brown appointee—said she was not privy to legislators’ deals. She noted that the board frequently adjusts any number of aspects of the regulations and that focusing on which companies got which allowances misses the larger point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From my perspective, my eye is on the ball—it’s a long ball,” said Mary Nichols. She added that the agency is focused on running a market-based program that is “calm and well managed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11613069\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11613069 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-800x539.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-800x539.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-1180x795.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-960x647.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-240x162.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-375x253.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/RS26278_GettyImages-681988766-qut-520x350.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gov. Jerry Brown's office referred reporters’ questions about the cap-and-trade bill to the air board. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There was much that was unusual about the agency’s recent meeting. The actual resolution the board considered, as well as the staff’s discussion, were not publicly available prior to the meeting. In fact, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/board/res/2017/res17-21.pdf\">proposal \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2016/capandtrade16/ctresoatta.pdf\">affiliated documents\u003c/a> were not posted on the air board’s website until a week after the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One board member said that during the meeting there was confusion about what the panel was voting on, and called the process rushed and sloppy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I knew I would have asked, ‘Is the assistance factor going from 75 percent to 100?’ \"said Dean Florez, a former state senator who now sits on the air board. “I don’t know if everyone knew that that’s what they were voting on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Florez said that if he were voting on the resolution today, he would abstain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the board’s vote last month, a leading energy economist \u003ca href=\"https://www.ghgpolicy.org/blog/resolution-17-21\">has determined\u003c/a> that extending the higher rate of industry assistance for three years would amount to a $300 million benefit to oil refineries. The boon to other emitters—such as food processors and aerospace manufacturers—would likely come to tens of millions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the Legislature comes in and says, ‘We don’t care what experts say about allocations, we still want to give away more,’ that’s a political decision and that’s a big part of the politics of (the cap-and- trade bill),” said Danny Cullenward, who works at Near Zero, a climate policy think tank at Carnegie Institution and teaches at Stanford’s law school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But this is specifically going against what, at least as of a couple of months ago, was what the air board said was the right way to approach this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry assistance program was created to acknowledge that the cost of complying with state rules might place some companies at a competitive disadvantage. In some cases, as with utilities, the free allocations were meant to protect ratepayers from sticker shock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Businesses say the program helps them keep prices lower for consumers while maintaining jobs in California. Cathy Reheis-Boyd, president of the Western States Petroleum Association, said that without free permits to emit greenhouse gases, oil refineries could find it too expensive to do business in California—accelerating a trend that’s already seen the number of refineries in the state drop 50 percent since 1985.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been a decline in the number of refineries over time due to increasing costs and the difficulty of managing that,” Reheis-Boyd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorothy Rothrock, president of the California Manufacturers & Technology Association, contended that the air board bears the burden of proof to demonstrate that its policies are not harming business. In her view, they are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compare investment rates in manufacturing in California to the rest of the country, she said, and the results are “pathetic. It’s really alarming. California is sucking wind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is sometimes difficult to square businesses’ dire depiction of a gasping industrial sector with the governor’s insistence that California’s climate policies have not been a drag on the state’s robust economic engine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Florez, at least, said he wants companies to show their work. “Prove why 75 percent is not working,” he said. “I would like people to prove to me that they are leaving. Prove that this would be so onerous that you will leave the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business officials seldom provide studies or specifics to make their case, saying disclosing that information equates to revealing trade secrets. For the most part, the board has been sympathetic to industry’s needs, having once before canceled a scheduled drop in cap-and-trade’s assistance to industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But economist Stephen Levy said the economic impact of strict emissions rules is actually negligible. “You create some jobs, some jobs are lost. The numbers are miniscule,” said Levy, director of the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy, a private economic research firm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the issue of businesses leaving California, he was skeptical. “Are they saying they are leaving because of air quality rules or because the CEO wants to live somewhere else?” Levy said. “Leaving doesn’t always mean ‘leaving because of the regulations.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, business complaints loomed large as state leaders debated cap and trade this spring. The program was set to expire in 2020 and Brown—positioning himself as the environmental antithesis of Republican President Donald Trump—was determined to sign a law extending it for another decade. He wanted a deal that could pass with a two-thirds supermajority to protect cap and trade from further legal challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That meant walking a political tightrope. Though Democrats have a supermajority in the Legislature, some were not going to support cap and trade—either as progressives who see the program as too business-friendly, or as moderates who fear angering conservative voters in swing districts. \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/latest-california-innovation-republican-case-cap-trade/\">Republicans\u003c/a> also were divided on the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the stakes, a powerful coalition of industry groups spent millions lobbying to shape the cap-and-trade extension, and then threw its weight behind the final bill. Securing the continuation of free allowances between 2021 and 2030 was a key item on industry’s wish list—and was included in the version of the bill Brown signed at the ceremony overlooking San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblywoman Monique Limon of Santa Barbara, one of three Democrats who voted against the bill, said she was concerned the free allowances, coupled with other provisions, could weaken the environmental power of cap and trade, and ultimately hamper the state’s ability to reach its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the end, my vote reflected that I didn’t have the evidence I needed to…believe we will successfully get there,” Limon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Jim Cooper, a business-friendly Democrat from Elk Grove who voted to extend cap and trade, said maintaining the free allowances was important to him because it keeps costs down for the agricultural interests in his Central Valley district that are facing global competition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m looking at it at the 30,000-foot level,” Cooper said. “Do we want to drive our dairy herds out of California?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the lawmakers’ debate over the appropriate rate of industry assistance in the cap-and-trade extension addressed how the program will operate from 2021 to 2030. The law Brown signed doesn’t say anything about industry assistance before then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, that appears to have been worked out in an agreement that’s left little in the way of a paper trail or explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcia, who has a non-voting seat on the air board, said politicians had to agree to grant the free allowances—before 2021 and after—in order to get enough votes for his bill to pass. And, he said, because lawmakers also approved \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/pollution-bill-legislature-just-passed-downpayment-environmental-justice/\">a companion bill\u003c/a> to better monitor air quality in industrial neighborhoods, he feels confident that the end result is good for Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How cap and trade gets implemented will help determine whether the state has a shot at reaching its 2030 climate targets ”an ambitious accomplishment that most people believe (the cap-and-trade extension) has just delivered,” said Cullenward, the economist. He noted that a $300 million “transfer of wealth from the general public to a special interest is a notable development, but I’m not claiming this particular episode will make or break the whole cap-and-trade program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If regulators take the same industry-friendly approach to the rest of its cap-and-trade operations, he added, “it will.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11612691/california-climate-deal-could-net-big-bucks-for-polluters","authors":["byline_news_11612691"],"programs":["news_6944","news_72"],"categories":["news_19906","news_8","news_356"],"tags":["news_2036","news_782","news_255","news_20023","news_17996","news_17286"],"affiliates":["news_18481"],"featImg":"news_11612986","label":"source_news_11612691"},"news_11611578":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11611578","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11611578","score":null,"sort":[1502745976000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"california-tea-party-its-time-for-an-alternative-to-the-gop","title":"California Tea Party: It's Time for an Alternative to the GOP","publishDate":1502745976,"format":"standard","headTitle":"The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":72,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>California Tea Partiers met in Fresno on Friday and Saturday in hopes of activating their supporters on behalf of President Trump's agenda. “The Real Resistance Conference” brought together diehard anti-establishment conservatives and disillusioned Republicans to talk strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group slammed any Republicans that cooperate with Democrats.
