Thank you for your six dollars! One thing I often say to people who ask about the business model here is that nobody pays to hate-read, but it’s nice to occasionally be proved wrong about that. You are right that I mixed up the lawsuits and we've revised the second paragraph to fix that. The bill did pass 37-1 as revised by the Assembly; the 33-1 vote was on an earlier version of the bill.

Thank you for the corrections. The 33-1-6 vote was on the bill that passed the Senate and then was handed off to the Assembly. The 37-1-2 vote was on the final concurrence bill after it has returned from the Assembly. It's interesting to note that only two senators stuck to their guns. Laird (D-Santa Cruz) voted no both times, while Limon (D-Goleta) voted NVR both times. Another coastal UC campus, UC Santa Barbara, is in Limon's district and she may share Laird's concerns about excessive campus enrollment growth. The campus is not located in tony Santa Barbara, but down the road in Isla Vista, where rowdy and destructive student behavior (and one mass shooting) has been a problem for years. The other item to note is that Kamlager (D-Los Angeles) switched from yes to NVR. Her district does contain the USC campus, and borders on Westwood (where UCLA is located), but I'm not sure what motivated her switch.
