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.
"California’s Legislature has done everything in its power to keep details of this project as secret as humanly possible. More than 2,000 people familiar with this project have reportedly signed non-disclosure agreements to prevent details from leaking out."
"Californians deserve better: honesty, respect, and full disclosure – not dismissive remarks, partial updates, or after-the-fact rationalizations."
Lawmakers leading the California Capitol Annex Project said they will keep controversial non-disclosure agreements in place on the taxpayer-funded construction, which legally force those involved to keep basic and broad information about the project a 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.
