Still, the threat of the state legislation caused its stock to plunge. CEQA: The LAT's Liam Dillon looks at the last-minute effort in the Legislature to provids CEQA exempttions to the propsed new aarena for the Clippers and Olympics facilities. MONEY MATTERS: John Myers looks at the end-session fundraising scramble. "While campaign fundraisers are held throughout the year, the past few days have been some of the busiest of 2017.

Jazmie Ulloa reports in the Times on a proposed initiative filed Friday that woulde provide consumers greater access to the information about what about what personal information businesses are collecting online. "Backers of the initiative, dubbed the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, are aiming for a spot on the November 2018 statewide ballot. The measure would establish a consumer's right to request that a business disclose what categories of personal data it gathers, and to say no to the sale of any of that information without fear of losing services or facing discrimination." AG: Farmers are concerned that they won't sufficient workers, and its not because of Trump. The Bee's Stephen Magagnini writes: [Brad] Goehring, vice chairman of the California Association of Winegrape Growers, said he has turned to mechanization because of an acute shortage of farmworkers from Mexico. Other growers echoed his complaint, which has become a major theme this year for California’s behemoth agricultural industry as it pushes for immigration reform. Industry representatives say fears of immigration enforcement under the Trump administration are now exacerbating the situation, making workers afraid to take jobs in California fields.
