Transparency in Sexually Violent Predator Hearings
On March 2, 2021, Supervisor Anderson and District Attorney Summer Stephan co-authored a Board Letter requesting support for Senate Bill 248. This state legislation would require most proceedings for the civil commitment of a sexually violent predator to be conducted in open court. Unfortunately, a majority of the board voted against supporting this legislation.

"Survivors of violent crimes have every right to be present when a court is deciding the fate of criminals who assaulted them," said Anderson. "This helps with the personal healing process and empowers survivors to move forward with their lives, not allowing the actions of criminals to define any aspect of their future well-being."
Directing $6M to Clean 98 Acres of El Monte River Valley
Supervisor Joel Anderson and Chair Nathan Fletcher partnered on a policy to preserve open space, protect habitat, and ensure proper clean-up of the El Monte River Valley. On Wednesday, March 3, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to direct $6 million to the clean-up project.

"I am grateful to Chair Fletcher's leadership in working with me to bring this proposal forward and I am hopeful that my colleagues will commit to continuing to work with me for the important restoration of this East County community treasure," said Supervisor Anderson.
