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.
Leaders of the controversial project provided lawmakers an update on its construction timelines and budget projections Wednesday for the first time since December 2025.
The Capitol Annex project in downtown Sacramento is about 55% complete after spending $632 million in taxpayer dollars as of April, according to project leaders, who say the $1.1 billion project remains on track for completion by October 2027.
Downtown Sacramento's most expensive current construction project is now slated for completion in less than 18 months.
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.
