Today, Assemblyman Josh Hoover from Folsom addressed concerns about the Capitol Annex Project's recent decision to send stonework to Italy. This move has bypassed local labor standards and sparked questions regarding transparency.

Hoover stated, "Taxpayer-funded projects should be fully transparent, not shrouded in mystery. Yet information about the Capitol Annex Project continues to be hidden from the public. Now the Legislature is sending rocks to Italy to avoid its own labor standards."

He further emphasized that this decision appears inconsistent with California's policy goals and raises serious concerns about oversight and accountability for the project.

"Californians deserve to know how their tax dollars are being spent, especially on significant infrastructure projects like the Capitol Annex. If this truly is to be 'The People’s House,' it cannot be exempted from public scrutiny," Hoover added.

Assemblyman Hoover represents District 7, which covers Citrus Heights, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, and several unincorporated communities including Carmichael and Fair Oaks.
