Shannon Grove, minority leader of the California State Senate, has been under quarantine — or at least she was supposed to be — after coming in close contact with a fellow Republican who tested positive for COVID-19: California State Sen. Brian Jones, who was diagnosed on August 26. But that didn’t prevent Grove from attending a crowded Christian music event and rally in Sacramento on Sunday, September 6 — and according to Washington Post reporter Tim Elfrink, she wasn’t wearing a protective face mask.
The event, billed as Let Us Worship, was supposed to allow up to 1000 attendees and enforce social distancing measures, but according to the California Highway Patrol, around 3000 people showed up. Videos of the event, Elfrink noted, “showed virtually no social distancing or masks in the crowd”— and California Gov. Gavin Newsom is warning that the concert could turn out to be a superspreader event.
“It does not help to have thousands and thousands of people not practicing physical distancing or social distancing not wearing masks,” Newsom warned.
Sean Feucht, the musician and Christian fundamentalist who organized the Let Us Worship event, has been highly critical of social distancing measures — and when he appeared on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends,” he claimed that city officials were discriminating against Christianity. What he didn’t tell Fox News is that he might have been responsible for a superspreader event.Grove, according to Elfrink, “took the stage on Sunday and spoke at length to the crowd — while failing to wear a mask.” Elfrink also notes that California health officials are “urging anyone who attended the prayer event to self-quarantine and monitor for symptoms.”According to Sacramento County Health Director Peter Beilenson, the Let Us Worship event violated the safety guidelines that California has had in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Beilenson, speaking to the Los Angeles Times, said of the event, “Everyone was piled up. That’s a problem. It’s not a matter of if there will be an outbreak from this, it’s how big.”</div></div><div>

patch:

...

Jones: I feel like I’m kind of blessed in the 77th. It’s kind of considered a safe Republican district. But if you break down the political attitudes of the residents, it’s really Libertarian in that the folks out here just want government to stay out of their way and let them live their lives and run their businesses, run their families. There’s not really a lot of demands from the constituents here on new legislation or going up to Sacramento and doing, you know, a lot of government-type stuff.

The general attitude that I’ve come up with from the district is: “Go to Sacramento and undo some stuff. Get government out of our hair. It’s too intrusive, there’s too many regulations, too much bureaucracy, too much duplications of some of the departments. Can we just eliminate some of the government?” That’s kind of the attitude I get when I’m talking to the voters.

Patch: Have you been able to get anything eliminated or worked on that path?

Jones: Well, we started with nine bills last year, in January, and we didn’t introduce all of them. I think we introduced five. Three got held up in committee. Two made it to the governor’s desk. He signed one of them, a welfare-reform bill. It’s a minor reform, a minor tweak to some of the systems they have in place for processing applications, and we just cleaned that up a little bit for them. It streamlines it, reduces the number of man-hours per month that they need to spend on that process. So, yes, I’ve had a minor victory in streamlining and reforming government.

Patch: And in that job, sometimes a minor victory is a major victory. And on that note, I’ve heard people say something like that every time a new law is enacted, an old one is taken off the books. Would that be along your line of thinking? Would you consider something out there in legislation to be like that?

Jones: Oh, sure. My position would be that for every one law we pass, we need to repeal 10. You know in January, the state Legislature introduced 2,300 new bills. So there’s 120 of us, 40 senators, 80 Assembly members—2,300 new bills, I don’t know how many that works out to per person. It’s a lot. So the question I ask is: “Does California really need 2,300 new laws?” I mean, these aren’t just ideas, not just neat things to do.

These are laws, actual legislation. So of those 2,300, 1,100 made it to the governor’s desk and he signed 868. So in Jan. 1 this [coming] year, we have 868 new laws going into effect. I think you’d be hard-pressed to find one Californian to agree we need 800 new laws starting Jan. 1.

Patch: Here’s my take on it: 868 laws, that’s just a drop in the bucket in what exists. How many of those laws are you cognizant of, and would you even know if you broke one of them? And if you don’t, how many else of us would?

Jones: Right, exactly. Now I will say a lot of those laws—for example, my bill—it’s not going to affect your life day to day, but it affects the way government operates. So, you know, a lot of the bills are like that. They’re not really regulations on our life. But there are some new regulations coming down. And then you have the situation like yesterday where CARB [the California Air Resources Board], on its own authority, passes cap-and-trade without any input from the Legislature. And I haven’t even read the article yet because I’m afraid to read it. I know it’s going to be horrible.

Patch: About cap-and-trade, do you agree that something has to be done to control manmade emissions to deal with the global warming problem?

Jones: Well, I’m going to take that as two questions. No. 1, do we need to control manmade emissions? I think the argument is safe to say yes. When my family moved here in 1978, the air was pretty dirty here in California. So I think there’s some science that backs up we need to control emissions, just for our own health.

But we’ve moved from science to ideology. And this whole cap-and-trade goes into the second part of your question: global warming. I think it’s safe to say there’s not significant enough science to prove, No. 1, global warming exists, and No. 2, is manmade. So now when we take that idea, global warming, and we start regulating emissions, now you’ve moved into ideology. And now we’re going to limit emissions based on a perceived ideology and a perceived outcome we haven’t been able to prove yet. So the answer to your second for global warming is no.

Patch: Ninety-seven, maybe 98 percent of reputable scientists insist that climate change is occurring, it is manmade and that the potential effects of this are catastrophic. What do you say to 98 percent of scientists who deal with these issues?

Jones: There was a time in world history that 97 percent of scientists, philosophers, theologians, well-known scholars believed that the Earth was flat. To the same conclusion of the same global warming …

Patch: Are you saying that the scientists of today are at the same level of intellectual authority as the scientists of centuries ago?

Jones: Do we have more knowledge now that we did then? Of course we do. But that’s the whole purpose of science, is to test theories and to prove them right or wrong. I don’t mind these scientists having a theory that global warming is manmade. That doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t mind the scientists trying to prove that their theory is correct. But until they’ve proven that it’s correct and that it is manmade, it’s still a theory. What’s happening today is that people are taking that theory and presenting it as truth, and it’s not yet proven as truth.

Patch: So would you say maybe that regulation is necessary on the basis of statistical emissions and whatnot, but throwing the global-warming moniker in there isn’t necessary? That attaching regulation to the idea of global warming isn’t necessary but there are emissions issues that need to be looked at and there are stats we can look at to base those regulations on?

Jones: Rather than me agreeing with your statement, let me say it myself: Yes, we need to control emissions based on science. When you add in the prescription of global warming, you move from science to ideology.

Patch: One of your other major initiatives is to reverse the realignment of jail occupancy, with the state moving prisoners into the county jail systems. It seems like the train has already left the station. How do you reverse jail realignment?

Jones: Well, the first thing we have to do is address the issue of illegal immigration and the number of illegal immigrants in our jails at this point in time. And the best statistic that I’ve been able to come up with, being in Sacramento, is that it’s about 18 percent. Some people are going to argue it’s 30 percent. I don’t think it’s that high. Some people are going to try to argue it’s 10 percent.

We’ve done some research, we’ve asked people who should know these things and the best number we can come up with is about 18 percent of the current [prison] population is illegal immigrants. Now you can’t … you know, one of the positions is take all those people out and send them to their home country, That would be great, if we knew they weren’t going to come back.

But right now, they’ve got a free ticket to come back. I mean, we send them home, they’re going to be back. So we’ve got to secure our borders so we can stop the transfer back and forth of illegal immigration. And then send those people home.

Or a wild idea is let’s coordinate with their home countries; let’s build their prisons in their home countries and send them to those prisons. They’ll operate at a lot lower expense than being here in California, and let that home country take care of them.  I haven’t done any math on this. But it might be cheaper to pay for the prisons in other countries—if the other country will run it and keep them actually in prison.

Patch: Some people would say that one of the reasons for the overflowing prisons is the three-strikes law—which you had nothing to do with, you weren’t in the Legislature at that time. No. 1, do you agree with the three-strikes law? No. 2, do you agree that it contributes to the overcrowded, overflowing state prisons?

Jones: The three-strikes law I believe has been effective in encouraging some people not to get that third strike. But does it add to our overcrowding? Absolutely, it’s got to be a part of the equation. It’s not the cause of our overcrowding, but it’s a part of the cause of our overcrowding. So are there some tweaks and reforms that we can do to three-strikes? Maybe. But I haven’t studied it enough yet to present what those reforms will be....

As a free-market conservative, I disagree with the concept of redevelopment agencies because it’s the government picking winners and losers.
