State lobbyist (self-identified as Dobore Jurassic) summarized the recent 60‑day legislative session: operating budget shortfall (~$2,000,000,000) addressed with rainy‑day transfers (~$880,000,000) and other moves; supplemental capital reduced (~$900,000,000); transportation emphasis shifted to preservation/maintenance with roughly $150,000,000 added and bonding debates; local requests (US 101 bypass design funding, Margaret Kinnear playground) were not fully funded; new bills include e‑bike/e‑motorcycle definitions and a contentious "millionaire's tax."
