Democratic lawmakers looking to replace Anthony Rendon as speaker of Assembly

KCRA - Sacramento Videos

Assembly Democrats are making to push to replace Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Lakewood. Multiple sources tell KCRA 3 Investigates that Assemblymember Robert Rivas, D-Salinas, has gained enough support of legislators to take the position from Rendon. Rendon would like to keep the position in the Democratically-controlled Assembly into next year but there is a push to get this change before the end of the year, with a vote coming as early as Tuesday. Multiple sources inside the Legislature say that Rendon has been approaching Republican Assembly members to try and retain the speakership. However, Rendon rejected a push by Republicans to repeal the gas tax, which has been a major sticking point that has lost any support from that side, according to one source, who said Rendon also opposed several water issues in the Assembly.

  • Police were advised to avoid mass arrests; then came the US campus protests

    In the three tumultuous weeks since protests broke out at U.S. universities, police have descended on dozens of campuses to sweep up students in mass arrests, adhering to an approach many criminologists have found to be outdated and counterproductive. New York police arrested nearly 300 people at Columbia University and City College of New York on April 30 during protests over the war in Gaza, setting off flash bangs to stun and disorient demonstrators. But an early examination of the approach to campus protests suggests police, in many cases, have yet to shed outdated ways of handling large demonstrations, they said.

  • Fed's Bostic says economy likely slowing, though rate-cut timing uncertain

    The U.S. central bank likely remains on track to cut interest rates this year even if the timing and extent of the policy easing is uncertain and further declines in inflation come only slowly, Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic said in an interview with Reuters. "I still have that belief" that interest rates can be lowered this year despite a first quarter in which the pace of price increases seemed to stall well above the Fed's 2% target, Bostic said in his first public comments since the central bank's policy meeting last week. Conversations with businesses in his U.S. Southeast Fed district indicate that wage and job growth will likely slow, Bostic said, and that most firms feel their pricing power is in decline after the fast price hikes that pushed inflation to 40-year highs in 2022.

Last year, the Biden administration announced rules for an ambitious plan to expand the country's charging infrastructure and jump-start EV adoption. Under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, the government is doling out $5 billion to states over five years to build 500,000 EV chargers.

The San Jose galleon, thought by historians to be carrying one of the largest known unsalvaged collections of maritime treasures, sank in 1708 near the port of Cartagena on Colombia's Caribbean coast. Colombia announced in February it would launch an underwater exploration mission to recover the galleon.
