Page 6 December 25, 2014 TORRANCE TRIBUNE Job Killers from front page is the envy of the world is that people… believe that if they have talent and they work hard, good things will happen in California; most of our lives that has been true, that is now under challenge,” commented Davis during his address. He went on to cite a dismal statistic that California ranks 46th in the Nation in the time it takes for a new project to be approved, with the average wait time being 17 years for transportation projects. In response to the delay, the former Governor added, “It means that your son and your daughter have a better chance at getting a job in 45 other states than California. . . . We cannot afford to wait 17 years for new jobs to come online.” In addition to over-regulation keeping jobs out of the state, panelists agreed that there are many high-paying jobs in the region’s economy that are going unfilled. California employers continue to report a “skills gap” between workforce supply and demand. An alarming set of statistics were given regarding income disparities and education achievement between the Bay area and Southern California. The median Bay area household income is over $80K; more than $20k higher than that of the SCAG region. 43% of Bay area residents are reported to have a bachelor’s degree or higher compared to only 29% of the SCAG population. The SCAG has prioritized workforce devel- opment as a key component to bring families living below the poverty line into the middleclass. The SCAG presented its “Regional Action Plan on Poverty” that entails closing the workforce skills gap through improvement of K-14 education, reformation of adult education, and expanded apprenticeships. Key to the plan’s implementation will be establishing deliberate pathways to employment opportunities through utilization of public funds like the California Career Pathways Trust and the newly implemented Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) that was signed into law this past July by President Obama. California policymakers began introducing new legislation for 2015 starting December 1 and will continue to launch hundreds of bills up until the February 27th deadline for new bills to be introduced. The Legislature will be slightly more balanced in 2015 with neither party possessing a supermajority stronghold. It will be interesting to see if the former Governor’s advice is taken seriously with a legitimate proposal to ban job killers for five years. There are certainly ample issues for the new class of Legislators to address; keeping an economic perspective when doing so should be taken seriously. The Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce (TACC) prioritizes policy analysis centered on economic impacts of legislation. The Chamber encourages Torrance residents interested in viewing public policy from an economic perspective to monitor the Chamber’s website for current reports from the area’s business community.

After their 35-38 loss to the San Diego Chargers last Saturday night to make it four losses in a row for the team, all that’s left for Harbaugh now is a date with the division rival Arizona Cardinals. From the Stanford Cardinal to the Arizona Cardinals, it almost fits together like bookends for Harbaugh. Now only time will tell whether he has it in him to keep his superior winning record as a head football coach alive. Only time will tell if the 49ers can quickly get back to their winning ways. One thing, however, has indeed become clear. The two will no longer be taking that voyage together. • City Council from front page use of this surplus property as a field but TAB can only do so much,” Hurst said. “This is a city alleyway so it is out of the hands of TAB so I look at the city to solve the problem of the traffic and the people speeding in these alleys.” Riviera Little League Board Member John Merriman used his time to speak to reach out to the city for direction on how to address the traffic safety issue. “We have been very grateful to be in a partnership with the city and we have hopefully been good neighbors with the community around us for 50 years,” Merriman said. “The only question or concern that I have is that parking and traffic has not been identified as a concern Lago Seco [Park] for Riviera so we will look to the city council and staff for some guidance on how we put that report together. That is my question on how we would do that since that has not come up in the past.” As of press time on Tuesday, Dec. 23, the council has not voted on this issue. Vote is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 24. • C e r t i f i e d a n d L i c e n s e d P r o f e s s i o n a l s handyman BILL’S HOME & APARTMENT MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR QUALITY at Handyman Prices.
