California lawmakers are bulldozing ahead with a costly demolition of the East Annex and a plan to block public access to the West Steps and destroy Capitol Park.
Now is not the time to burden taxpayers with a $1.4 billion debt for the next 30 years. It’s time to increase public safety and save the historic West Steps.
The California Capitol Annex overhaul is entering its most expensive phase as lawmakers quietly shift leadership while construction moves from the outer shell to interior work.
Gilbane replaces the state’s previous representative, MOCA Systems, which had managed the project since 2018. MOCA had experience designing Capitol renovations in other states, according to the new FAQ document released by the Legislature.
The Legislature directed 2,000 people, including five state lawmakers and dozens of people in the governor's administration, to sign NDAs to keep broad information about the Capitol Annex project secret.
Save Our Capitol! is working to preserve the historic Capitol and its surrounding Park, including hundreds of irreplaceable trees. Alternatives exist to make the new Annex safe and compatible without spending more than $1.2 billion to excavate the West Steps, build a new parking garage, and rebuild the Annex with an all-glass facade.
