Favoritism Toward None, Opportunity
for All
State Senator Mike Morrell
represents the 23rd Senate District
by State Senator Mike Morrell
As the legislature finishes
out this year’s session in the coming
weeks, one bill that deserves
increased scrutiny is AB 5 by Assemblymember
Lorena Gonzalez
(D-San Diego), which, if passed,
would threaten the livelihoods of
two million Californians.
Many people choose to
work as “independent contractors”
rather than “employees” for the
flexibility they have to set their own
schedules and work-life balance.
These jobs range from weekend
referees and Uber or Lyft drivers to
physical therapists, travel agents,
and truckers.
In 2018, however, the California
Supreme Court issued a ruling
commonly known as the “Dynamex
decision” that abandoned
long-established rules to determine
whether someone is considered an
independent worker or an employee.
Put into force, workers would
lose the right to work as independent
contractors and, along with it,
the freedom they value.
The legislature, therefore,
needed to clarify this area of state
law.
One solution I coauthored
with Senate Republican Leader
Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield),
sought to create clarity by allowing
Californians to continue choosing
how they want to work. It proposed
a framework that all industries
could follow. SB 238 is a sensible
solution that applies the law equally.
Rather than pass SB 238, the
majority on the Senate Labor, Public
Employment, and Retirement
Committee opted to vote out another
bill supported largely by labor
unions – AB 5 – putting into state
law the provisions of the Dynamex
decision. Doing so would effectively
eliminate the ability to work as
independent contractors except for
a select list of industries exempted
from the law.
Whereas SB 238 would have
treated every industry the same, AB
5 chooses winners and losers. The
process is a telling commentary on
both the terrible ruling in Dynamex
and this misguided approach to the
issue.
In making laws, we should
do so with a mindset of opportunity
for all and favoritism toward none.
AB 5 does the opposite. The more
government overreaches, the more
it zaps the entrepreneurial spirit.
California is a great place
to live, work, and raise a family.
Nevertheless, self-inflicted problems
are beginning to outweigh our
state’s God-given blessings.
The only way to make substantial
progress in expanding economic
prosperity is by ensuring
government does not stifle innovation
and potential for success, taking
bold action to prepare the state
for the needs of the next generation.
AB 5 is in the Senate and
making its way through the legislative
process. You can read this bill
and SB 238 at leginfo.legislature.
ca.gov. The deadline to pass bills
for the year is September 13.
To contact your senator on
AB 5, you can find their information

portions of San Bernardino,
Riverside, and Los Angeles counties.

Remembering Woodstock
by Lynette Eastwood
On a beautiful Saturday,
August 17, 2019, with the gorgeous
Green Valley Lake in the distance,
nearby spectators enjoyed a day
glorifying an event that happened
fifty years ago. As the fiftieth anniversary
was being remembered
across our nation with different
forms of remembrance, many of
these revelers dressed in the Woodstock
“hippy day” styles of the late
60’s with their tie-dyed everything,
long unkempt hair, love beads and,
of course, an abundance of peace
signs.
Besides just having an entertaining
day, finding and wearing
the clothes of those interesting days
and to wear it once again, harkens
the old-timers back into memory
lane. A collaboration of local talent
assembled together calling themselves
the GVL All Star Jam Band.
The bands members were composed
of both full and part-time residents
of the Green Valley Lake. To
the delight of many, they continued
to play for several hours with songs
of those happy “Hippy Days.”
There were song numbers
from Bob Dylan; Joan Baez; Crosby,
Stills, & Nash; Arlo Guthrie;
“Hippies” at the GVL Woodstock
Celebration. Photo by Rebecca Smith
Santana; Janis Joplin; Joe Cocker;
Jefferson Airplane; and, yes, even
Jimi Hendrix (acoustical, of course).
Many of the songs played were upbeat
happy sing-along songs which
made the audience more involved.
There was a lunch and dinner
being served in the Green Valley
Lake Community Center for a nominal
charge. And after dinner, there
was psychedelic sundaes, brownies,
and cupcakes that finished the meal
off (and, of course, no drugs included).
