Who: Sen. Dodd and stakeholders

SACRAMENTO – Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, issued the following statement today in response to Gov. Newsom’s inaugural State of the State address:

We’ve made significant progress in recent years, but there’s critical work ahead on key issues from housing and homelessness to climate change and wildfires, and education and healthcare. It’s clear that Gov. Newsom is committed to addressing our key issues, especially housing and homelessness. Gov. Newsom has demonstrated the vision, values and vigor to get the job done. As the governor expressed, California is an enterprising, pluralizing state of dreamers and doers. Together, our best days are ahead, and I look forward to working with Gov. Newsom to build a more prosperous, vibrant and sustainable state.

SACRAMENTO – Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, introduced legislation today to increase conservation on California’s farms and ranches by offering incentives and technical assistance for adopting practices that protect wildlife and the environment.

“Rural landowners play a huge role in conservation and are critical to the economic vitality of our state,” Sen. Dodd said. “This bill would encourage farmers and ranchers to continue their stewardship, boosting the land’s resiliency and production. It’s an important step that will allow people and the environment to reap the benefits.”
