This week’s tracker includes a look at the arrest of a California legislator.

Weekly highlight

Last week, no state convened or adjourned a legislative session. Here is a brief look at issues making headlines across the country:

  • Alaska: Sen. Pete Kelly (R) became the subject of national controversy after comments made to a local newspaper regarding his proposals for combating fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), with a floor speech fanning the flames last week. In an interview published March 20 by the Anchorage Daily News, Kelly suggested that bars offer state-funded pregnancy tests in their bathrooms for use before drinking. He declined to support offering free contraception in bars, saying it is "for people who don’t necessarily want to act responsibly." When asked if the act of using birth control is inherently irresponsible, Kelly replied, "Maybe, maybe not." Democrats pounced on Kelly's statements, citing it as an example of a Republican "war on women," and the story was picked up by outlets including The Huffington Post, Mother Jones and MSNBC. Kelly rejected the charge, using his Facebook page to call on "political operatives [to] stop writing talking points and press releases and actually get involved in helping the people who suffer from this plague." Kelly, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, addressed the controversy on the Senate floor last Monday, saying that funding contraception could be a possibility in the future, as the pregnancy test program would be conducted as "an academic study." Critics were not satisfied, however, as Kelly argued that birth control might not be effective for women who drink due to forgetfulness or incorrect application. Sen. Berta Gardner (D) requested that the record be changed on the grounds that birth control prevents pregnancy rather than fetal alcohol syndrome. The Alaska Democratic Party again responded negatively, accusing Kelly of "[doubling] down on anti-contraception." According to the Daily News, roughly half of Alaskan pregnancies are unplanned.[1][2][3][4][5]
  • California: On March 26, the FBI arrested Sen. Leland Yee (D) of District 8 along with 25 others by the FBI and indicted him on six counts of depriving the public of honest services and one count of conspiracy to traffic in guns without a license. His bail is set at $500,000 and he faces up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted. Yee was suspended from the chamber by a 28-1 vote on March 28 after refusing to step down. Commenting on Yee's arrest, U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D) said, "I agree with State Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg that Leland Yee should immediately step down. If these allegations are true, they are beyond outrageous. I support the Justice Department’s crackdown on corruption, which sends an unequivocal message that there is absolutely no place in public life for criminals who violate the public trust and demean public service." The charges against Yee stem from his failed 2011 mayoral run and his involvement with political consultant Keith Jackson. Investigators allege that Yee took bribes in exchange for political favors in order to pay off his $70,000 debt from his mayoral campaign and to fund his run for California Secretary of State. The FBI also alleges that Yee promised an undercover FBI agent that he could introduce him to an arms trafficker and could help bring into the U.S. up to $2.5 million worth of weapons from a Muslim separatist group in the Philippines. On March 27, 2014, Yee withdrew from the race for Secretary of State. Yee is the third Democratic state senator accused of criminal wrongdoing this year. The other two, Ronald S. Calderon and Roderick Wright, were also suspended by the Senate in the same vote that suspended Yee.[6][7][8][9][10]
  • Connecticut: On March 26, Connecticut lawmakers voted to raise the state's minimum wage from $8.25 an hour to $10.10 an hour by 2017, affecting between 70,000 and 90,000 employees. Gov. Dan Malloy (D) signed the legislation on March 27, saying that "increasing the minimum wage is not just good for workers, it's also good for business." Speaker of the House Brendan Sharkey (D) said, "Raising the minimum wage helps the people who need it most, is good for the economy, and is the right thing to do." Republican lawmakers say, however, that this law, and others like it, are making Connecticut "uncompetitive." House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero (R) said that the legislation has a "schizophrenic attitude" toward small businesses. He argues that the state says, "Small businesses, you're our backbone [and then takes] actions that keep punching them in the gut." State House Republican spokesman Patrick O'Neil said that the Republican Party is opposed to the measure because it does not believe that it will help create more jobs. Connecticut will have the highest minimum wage for any state, but some cities have higher wages; Washington, D.C., will have a minimum wage of $11.50 by 2016 and San Francisco's is currently $10.74. The raise to $10.10 is the federal minimum wage that President Obama supports.[11][12][13]

Virginia

The Virginia State Legislature is meeting in special session to try and pass an estimated $96 billion budget for the next two years. The session is not expected to end quickly, as Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) and the Republican-led House disagree over whether the state should accept further Medicaid funding from the federal government. This special session is required as the legislature failed to pass a budget during the yearly regular session. Should no agreement be reached by July 1, Virginia's government could shut down.[16]

In recess

As of today, March 24, there are four state legislatures currently in recess:[17]

Anthony "Alann" Johnson (D) defeated Willie "W.A." Casey (R) in the special election, which took place on April 1.[37][38] Johnson, Arthur D. Shores Lee, Demetrius C. Newton Jr. and Frank Topping faced off in the Democratic primary.[39] As no candidate received more than fifty percent of the vote, the top-two vote-getters - Johnson and Lee - met in the Democratic primary runoff on February 4, which Johnson won.[40] Casey was unopposed in the Republican primary.[41]

A special election for the position of Alabama House of Representatives District 53 was initially called for January 28, with a primary on December 3, 2013.

The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was October 10, 2013.[42] Due to inclement weather, the runoff was pushed back a week to February 4. The special election instead took place on April 1.[43]
