Roundtable President @roblapsley joined Congressman @RepVinceFong in a guest opinion piece in today's @ocregister talking about the state's ongoing UI fund debt and the taxes all businesses are paying to pay off the state's debt ocregister.com/2026/01/08/ca…

California’s hidden jobs tax was no accident

That California stands alone as the only delinquent state is not merely a travesty—it is a stark indictment of budget and priority mismanagement.

Assembly Bill 1157 would expand failed rent control policies and reduce housing for California's working families. We need real solutions to fix the #Affordability crisis. #NOonAB1157 #Caleg

And on nonfarm #jobs specifically: Year to date, the preliminary November numbers show California essentially stagnant, with a loss of 7,500 jobs. Since January 2024, California has grown only 14,900 jobs, while the US as a whole has expanded by 2.5 million.

"When families feel like they can’t get ahead, it’s usually because the biggest line items in their budget are out of control: housing, energy, gasoline, food, and taxes. In California, all are extreme, and, in most cases, the highest in the nation." Read @roblapsley's latest robertlapsley1.substack.com/…

Statement from President @roblapsley on the passing of Congressman Doug LaMalfa: “On behalf of the California Business Roundtable, I extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Congressman Doug LaMalfa. His passing is a tremendous loss for California and the nation. Doug dedicated his life to public service and was a steadfast advocate for rural communities, agriculture, and the businesses that sustain California’s economy. He brought a strong work ethic, practical perspective, and deep commitment to his constituents to every role he served. Our thoughts are with the LaMalfa family and all those mourning the loss of a respected leader and public servant.”

Non-disclosure agreements have no place in public policy debates. We are grateful for the leadership of now-Congressman @RepVinceFong and Assemblymember @AsmJoePatterson for fighting for this critically needed reform. With Governor Newsom's signing of the bill, important policy discussions will be forced into the daylight, not relegated to backrooms without public knowledge.
