The CalChamber prepares this guide annually to provide comprehensive overviews of our priorities and the data to support our positions.
To work toward keeping the California Promise: Opportunity for All, the state should pursue: steps to moderate the supply-induced housing affordability squeeze and improve highway and transit capacity; developing in-state energy sources to moderate rapid growth in energy costs; and maintaining fiscal discipline in anticipation of an eventual economic downturn.
