Possible changes in tax law at the California state level, what should worry us about the budget, when do lawmakers forfeit their pay, and an inside look at how the legislative process really functions (in analog days, a clock was, literally, physically stopped, so the legislature could exceed deadlines for budget and legislation) were amongst Mike Belote’s points at a June webinar presented by AIA California to inform members on Legislative Updates.

Belote works for and is the Immediate Past President of California Advocates, a government affairs group that has consulted with AIA California for fifty years. The stability of this relationship has greatly benefitted members, providing a rich understanding of the Capitol’s functions and success in advancing AIA California legislative goals.

Belote was the first of three speakers at the webinar offering Legislative Updates (two more to come). View his update on the video.
