In this Talk Junction West discussion we break down what Prop 45 would change, how the current CEQA process works, and the main arguments on both sides.

Supporters say the measure would cut lengthy delays and red tape that drive up the cost of housing, electricity, water, and public projects while still requiring full environmental review and protecting community input.

Opponents argue it weakens CEQA protections for air and water quality, reduces public comment requirements, shifts power toward project applicants, and offers no guarantee of lower housing or utility costs.

We also cover key details from the Legislative Analyst’s Office, examples such as the Richardson Grove case, and positions from local government groups.

Maniscalco responded on Instagram, saying he heard the feedback and has asked for time to make adjustments.

What is the Inland Empire in California?

WHERE IS THE “INLAND EMPIRE”?

As the debate rages on about what cities are part of the “Inland Empire”, it might be helpful to note that the term has been in use at least since the late 1800s. This October 1914 article in the “San Bernardino Daily Sun” seemed to limit the term’s use to all areas in San Bernardino County.

To be sure, there are earlier uses of the phase “Inland Empire” in “The Sun” newspaper, but I chose to share this one because it specifically defined the I.E. as: “SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, the great inland empire of California, stretches out for over 20,000 square miles.”
