Today, Senator Wiener adjourned the California Senate in honor of Mayor Ed Lee, who passed away on December 12, 2017. The California Legislature was in recess at the time of the Mayor's passing, and today was the first opportunity for Senator Wiener could honor Mayor Lee.
Senator Wiener joined nightlife supporters, labor, community members, and business leaders to rally around support for a renewed effort to allow – but not require – cities to extend sales of alcohol at bars, nightclubs, and restaurants (but not liquor stores) to as late as 4 a.m. The new 5-year pilot program version of the LOCAL Act, which stands for Let Our Communities Adjust Late-Night, preserves complete local control in terms of decision-making and applies only to the six cities whose Mayors have expressed interest in the bill: San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Sacramento, West Hollywood, and Long Beach.
Senator Wiener joined CNN's Headline News to discuss the upcoming right-wing extremist rally in San Francisco, and the response from the Bay Area community.
Senator Wiener's comments on Senate Concurrent Resolution 76, which declares November 2017 to be Runaway and Homeless Youth Prevention Month in California.
