outcome may determine whether Democrats retain their super majority in the
Senate, which means it will draw big bucks and heavy attention from outside
the district.

SCA 5 Bill Tabled: Supervisor Nguyen vows to continue to monitor it

(Santa Ana) In an unexpected turn of events, California State Assembly
Speaker John H. Perez announced today that he will hold off on moving
forward with Senate Constitutional Amendment 5 (SCA 5). Supervisor Janet
Nguyen, who opposed this legislation, welcomed the news but vowed to
continue monitoring the bill.
“I am pleased that SCA 5 has been tabled because it was a divisive piece of
legislation that would have significantly affected the residents of Orange
County,” said Supervisor Nguyen. “However, there’s a chance it could
still move forward so I will continue to watch it.”
SCA 5 would have repealed portions of Proposition 209, which was passed by
the voters in 1996 and removed preferential treatment to any individual or
group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in
public education. Given the widespread impact that this legislation would
have on the residents of Orange County, Supervisor Nguyen authored an
opinion piece opposing it and has asked that it be included on the Board of
Supervisors’ agenda for the County to take an official oppose position.
“Although SCA 5 will not move forward at this time, it has highlighted
deficiencies in the K-12 education system that need to be addressed,” said
Supervisor Nguyen. “I think we still need to talk about how we can enhance
the K-12 education system to make
sure that we increase the number of minority’s applying to college.”
According to Speaker John Perez, SCA 5 was sent back to the State Senate
without taking action in the State Assembly at the request of SCA 5 author,
Senator Ed Hernandez. | m*******i
