ARPA’s One Year Anniversary – Riverside County’s Early Care and Education Recovery Fund

Jenny Tan

March 7, 2022

COVID-19 was a blur; days blended into weeks and months and suddenly it was 2022. Through the fogginess of the pandemic, there were multiple moments of brightness. One such moment was the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) that was signed by President Joe Biden on March 11, 2021 to facilitate the country’s recovery from COVID-19.  In all, California’s 58 counties received a total of $7.6 billion from the Act to: support COVID-19 response efforts, replace lost public sector revenue, support immediate economic stabilization, address systemic public health and economic challenges, and provide premium pay for essential workers, among others. To help celebrate the one year anniversary of this Act, CSAC will be highlighting, through social media posts and articles, some of the ARPA investments that California’s counties have been making.

Getting to Know CSAC Second Vice President Bruce Gibson

Jenny Tan

During CSAC’s 127th Annual Meeting last year in beautiful Monterey County, the new 2021-22 officers were elected and installed. As we often say, CSAC is only as strong as its membership, and our newest Second Vice President is as strong, resilient, and effective as they come – San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Bruce Gibson.

Many of you may know Supervisor Gibson from his service as a member of the CSAC Board of Directors and Executive Committee; Chair of the Agriculture, Environment, and Natural Resources Policy Committee; or as CSAC’s representative to the County Drought and Advisory Group. Supervisor Gibson has worked in public service since 2007 and is committed to accessible and transparent government. He always leads by example and is not afraid to address any challenges or difficult topics facing counties. 

As someone who loves learning about counties and the people who serve, I recently had the great fortune of learning more about Supervisor Gibson, including his background, motivation, and priorities. Here are his responses.

The Tale of Sister Cities and Counties

Jenny Tan

This is the second blog post in a series highlighting California Counties. In the coming months, learn how California Counties are showcasing the power of international relationships to spur local economic development and education.

Many of us have heard of ‘sister cities’ – broad, long-term partnerships between communities in two countries. For many of these partnerships, a cultural exchange is expected, along with visits, opened lines of communication and educational opportunities, and, like the name entails, a relationship between two cities. However, there can also be city/county ‘sisters’ - which are much more rare, but equally as beneficial and rewarding. In California, there are eight ‘sister city/county’ relationships that have built amazing opportunities and longstanding exchanges between residents and communities.
