Chamber OfficeBreakfast Workshop
Here at the Claremont Courier, we take our city to heart. We have reported on everything Claremont for the past 109 years, all the while, enjoying Chamber membership since 1922. The ladies luncheon is a great place to network
with new and existing businesses, and I have made many new friendships and leads by attending the lunches. The Claremont Chamber is an invaluable tool for both the Claremont Courier newspaper and the city of Claremont.
I want to thank the Chamber staff for all their help and encouragement. Great job!! Mary Rose, Advertising Director, Claremont Courier

From The Legislative Analyst’s Office, California’s Nonpartisan Fiscal and Policy Advisor.The Legislative Analyst’s Office has been providing fiscal and policy advice to the Legislature for more than 70 years. It is known for its fiscal and programmatic expertise and nonpartisan analyses of the state budget. The office serves as the “eyes
and ears” for the Legislature to ensure that the executive branch is implementing legislative policy in a cost efficient and effective manner.
The LAO is overseen by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC), a 16-member bipartisan committee. The office currently has a staff of 43 analysts and approximately 13 support staff. The analytical staff is divided into nine subject areas: Criminal Justice, State Finance, K-12 Education, Higher Education, Health, Environmental and Natural Resources, Social Services and Labor, General Government (including Local Government and Infrastructure), and Transportation, Business, and Housing.
