Sen. Steve Glazer shepherded AB 229, a bill allowing state employees to use ride-sharing and home-sharing services, through the Senate on a 25-11 vote. Here is the debate that preceded the vote.

"Our public buildings should be named for people of great accomplishment, who are role models of high morals and principles. Unfortunately, some public places in California still honor Confederate leaders who attempted to break America in two to prortect their right to enslave people.
