Governor's Budget Plans for Uncertain Economy | |
|
Governor Gavin Newsom presented a balanced budget with no new general tax increases. He identified a $22.5 billion “shortfall” between previously expected revenues and programmed spending, and addressed this gap with a variety of spending deferrals, loans, funding shifts, and cuts.
General Fund revenues will increase by a half billion dollars, so the source of the shortfall is annual expenditures that have outpaced revenues. This gap has been covered by extraordinary budget surpluses that are being whittled down as the operating expenses come in line with revenues. Read More...

New State Requirements for Organic Waste | |
|
In September 2016, Governor Brown signed into law SB 1383, establishing methane emissions reduction targets in a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP) in various sectors of California's economy. Although the original law has been on the books for many years, subsequent legislation has ramped it up and now every door in California must divert their organics from the trash.
By January 1, 2023, the City of Torrance will provide mandatory organic waste collection services to all single-family residential and multi-family residential customers serviced by the City. Food scraps will be mixed with your green waste for composting. For more information, please visit the link.
