Did you know that California Forward has eight other Facebook pages besides our main one and that we also maintain a robust Twitter account? Well now you do.

We take a look at some of the news items and events happening in California this week that affect all of us.

In the past week or so, many different campaigns, from the national to the city level, have kicked into gear. We take a look at which of them are hitting closest to home.

We present the first in a series of news coverage roundups on three important stories from the past few days, synthesizing news so you don’t have to. We’ll be doing on regular basis as ballot season heats up locally and politics take center stage nationally.

A little over a week ago, the California Forward Action Fund introduced the Government Performance and Accountability Act (GPAA) as a potential ballot initiative for 2012. The initiative quickly garnered support in the press as soon as it was launched. Here we present a coverage roundup of the GPAA thus far and it ranges from cautious optimism to unequivocal support.
