Statement of Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown on Supporting AB 113

Statement of Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown on Supporting AB 113

SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown (D-San Bernardino) issued the following statement today regarding her support of AB 113, a bill to increase the appropriation for the Secretary of State by $2 million to address the business filing backlog.

“In support of my goal to push policies that assist small business development and growth, I voted in support of AB 113, a bill that appropriates $2 million of business filing fees to the Secretary of State, and requires that the increase only be used to reduce the time it takes to process business filings for those who want to start a business in California.

In the past, the process to file the appropriate business documents and fees in California would take 20 days. Currently, budget cuts and under-staffed departments pushed processing times to 85 days. As a result, businesses cannot hire employees, begin paying entity taxes or officially open their doors for two months.

AB 113 will significantly streamline and improve the state’s process for starting a business by decreasing the process to 5 days; the bill will also transfer to job growth and support our economy. I’m proud to be a part of such an important piece of legislation.”

Hello everyone its that time of year we look forward to eating and drinking things that are green.

If your not sure where to hang out this O-GREEN-DAY here are some ideas:

Ye Olde Lamplighter in San Bernardino was highlighted on “The Fork Report” with Neil Sevedra on KFI yesterday afternoon where they promised a atmosphere of fun, drink and food. They estimated they would sell over 100 pounds of Corned Beef and Cabbage.

They are located at 255 E 40th St San Bernardino, CA 92404 (909) 886-4490

Hangar 24

We’re toasting to St. Patrick this week, and enjoying the beautiful spring weather too. Starting Wednesday, and leading up to St. Patrick’s Day on Sunday, we’ll have special events and food on the Hangar 24 Patio.

Frequent Flyers enjoy double miles on Monday, and Frequent Flyer Lottery on Tuesday- with every swipe of your Frequent Flyer card you can win stickers, 1 liter growlers, and sweatshirts.

Wednesday Night Live Music on the Hangar 24 Patio will definitely get you in the mood to celebrate like the Irish.

DEALS & STEALS

Sonic Drive-In is having a special St. Patrick’s Day Double Play. Visit them on March 17th and order all your Sonic favs. Then bring the pink receipt back to Sonic any day in March and receive all the food for FREE!

Free fries at Burger King this weekend served with Heinz St. Paddy’s Sauce (it’s green)! Thanks to Dine 909 for the tip!

For the families, John’s Incredible Pizza Co. is celebrating by giving everyone a $5 FunCard to use between 3/19-4/15/12. All you have to do is eat at their buffet and wear green from 3/16-3/18.

RIVERSIDE & REDLANDS

The Salted Pig has all day specials including Jameson Irish Whiskey and $5 draft beers (while they last). They’ve got a Green Flash Double Stout that sounds like it could be delicious!

Smokey Canyon BBQ in Riverside is the place for southern cooking but, you know what they say, everybody’s Irish on St. Paddy’s Day! They’ll be serving the Irish favorites like corned beef and cabbage. Expect live music and green beer! Festivities start at 11:30 a.m.

They say the Tartan of Redlands has the best corned beef in the IE. Taste for yourself on Saturday starting at 11 a.m. and stay through the evening and enjoy some bagpipes.

Mill Creek Cattle Co. has an all you can eat buffet featuring the St. Patty’s Day staples like corned beef and cabbage – and of course green beer.

Head to Kiddoughs Bakery-n Coffee House for an Irish car-bomb brewcake…try not to drool.

Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown Introduced Bill to Give Student-Athletes Full Scholarships and Additional Stipend

What are your thoughts on this bill?

Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown Introduced Bill to Give Student-Athletes Full Scholarships and Additional Stipend

SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown (D-San Bernardino) amended AB 475, which will require public universities in California to award five year scholarships to their student-athletes starting in 2015. Additionally, schools will be required to cover the full cost of attendance and include an additional $3,600 student-athlete participation stipend.

“A year-to-year scholarship does not foster retention and convey that universities have a serious investment in seeing their student-athletes graduate,” said Assemblymember Brown. “Coaches and athletic departments will have to change their approach to recruiting student-athletes.”

The NCAA is responsible for governing an industry that generates over $11 billion annually in revenue. NCAA governs the amount of aid that universities can award each student-athlete and the length of the award. These scholarships do not cover the full cost of attendance to universities in California and require that student athletes sign away their ability to profit from their athletic accomplishments in perpetuity.

AB 475, which is being sponsored by the National College Players Association, will require all scholarships offered by public universities in California to be guaranteed for five years. Additionally, all universities with media and licensing revenues in excess of $20 million would be mandated to cover the full cost of attendance and provide the additional $3,600 stipend.

“It is unconscionable for California to allow a non-profit organization generating billions of dollars in profits to the detriment of college athletes, to dictate the educational policies and practices of our states public universities,” Assemblymember Brown concluded.

AB 475 was assigned to the Assembly Committee on Education.

SAN BERNARDINO -Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown (D-San Bernardino) delivered the keynote address at the inaugural Pioneer Breakfast hosted by the Black Faculty, Staff and Student Association at California State University, San Bernardino. The event was held Friday, March 5 at the Santos Manuel Student Union and celebrated pioneering African Americans from the Inland Empire that have made and continue to make significant contributions to the community.

The 2013 honorees were: The Honorable Wilmer Amina Carter, retired, California State Legislature; Walter Hawkins, a founding member of the Black Faculty, Staff and Student Association and retired director of research policy and analysis at Cal State San Bernardino’s department of undergraduate studies; Dr. Jean Peacock, an alumna, founding member of the Black Faculty, Staff and Student Association and professor of psychology and former assistant dean in the university’s College of Social and Behavioral Sciences; Dr. Mildred Henry, the first African American to become a tenured professor at the university’s College of Education and now a professor emeritus; Lois Carson, a member of the university’s first graduating class in 1967; Sam Fellows, alumnus and adjunct professor, who holds a master’s degree in education and social work from the university; and Dr. Milton Clark, an alumnus and the first Black associate professor of English at the university, who is currently the university’s associate vice president for undergraduate studies and was recently named the university’s first chief diversity officer.

During her address she spoke about the pioneering firsts and sacrifices that were made by each of the honorees on behalf of the Black faculty, staff and student population. During the late 1970s, these individuals set the tone for equality in terms of hiring, retention and promotion within the Black faculty at Cal State San Bernardino. Among their primary duties was to promote diversity within the university.

As a group, they sought to increase Black student recruitment and improve Black student graduation rates. They also engaged the community, specifically the Black community and worked together to improve campus policies that would eventually benefit Black student recruitment.

“I was honored to be a part of this special event. I enjoyed talking about my friends and the tremendous impact they’ve made in the community, state and for some, the nation. This special recognition was well deserved,” said Assemblymember Brown.

Following her address, she acknowledged the upcoming Class of 2013 graduates and assured them that she’s working very hard to address their needs by creating an environment for job growth.

She spoke about her introduction of AB 285, a bill to improve the quality of life for residents in the 47th Assembly District and throughout the state by promoting small business growth, which will translate to job creation within some of the state’s highest unemployment areas. AB 285 was the first bill that she introduced during the 2013-2014 legislative session, signifying the importance of jobs in the district.
