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.
Taxpayers have shelled out $1.1 billion for a new building for politicians, the Capitol Annex Project, even as project leaders sign nondisclosure agreements and refuse to share basic cost data with the public.
They also raised concerns about the Capitol Annex project, which has been scrutinized over transparency and is estimated to cost taxpayers more than $1 billion.
LISTEN: This was a billion-dollar project — we have no idea where we're at at on cost overruns
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.
