job creation,” Muratsuchi said last month as
the bill was advancing in the Assembly.
The advisory commission would have 15
members, with nine being appointed by the
governor to represent aviation and aerospace
companies, their suppliers and labor unions. The
other members would be selected for expertise
in economic development, transportation and
higher education. Members would serve for
two years and be limited to three terms.
Muratsuchi said he spent a year working on
his bill and building support among Sacramento
lawmakers. He is chairman of the California
Assembly’s Select Committee on Aerospace.
California held nearly one-tenth of the combined
space and aircraft market in the world
in 2016, according to the bill. The aerospace
industry is “being challenged” by foreign
competitors with emerging economies and
the technology they lacked in the past. The
commission-creation measure says the state
must prepare in case of military base closures
by the Department of Defense and shifts in
funding priorities by NASA.
Florida has enticed at least one California
aerospace company to relocate, and industry
leaders say that Space Florida has the money
and clout with lawmakers that is lacking here.
Sean Casey, managing director of the Silicon
Valley Space Center, told an industry publication
that other states take a more aggressive
approach to convincing companies to leave
California.
The Assembly’s full-throated endorsement
of a California Aerospace and Aviation Commission
delivered a message that it’s taking
the challenge by Space Florida very seriously.
Judy Kruger, who oversees aerospace sector
activities at the Los Angeles Economic Development
Corporation (LAEDC) had high praise
and hopes that the commission will become
a reality soon.
The Assembly vote was a small step for
the South Bay players in aerospace, which
according to the bill is among California’s
largest industries and employers. It generates
$140 billion per year within the state, making
it a global leader, according to figures provided
to the Legislature.
The state Senate still must vote on the
measure, and the governor needs to sign
the bill. The momentum so far in the lower
chamber in Sacramento is one small step for
California, and one giant leap for a South Bay
industry that designs, builds and supports air
and space travel.
“The state hears and sees what’s happening
in the industry and wants to protect it and
grow it,” Kruger said, adding “it also sends a
message outside the state of California.”
Texas, Georgia and Michigan are moving
forward to create commissions, which the
LAEDC says are completely dedicated to
growing their states’ aerospace industries.
The work envisioned for the California body
will be to market the state’s tax and business
climate at industry events where other states
will have a presence.
The LAEDC has backed the bill to create a
California commission to protect against states
looking to “poach our aerospace assets,” it says.
The bill got another huge lift right after the
Assembly voted: SpaceX in Hawthorne successfully
launched its powerful Falcon Heavy
into space. The company calls its Falcon Heavy
the most powerful rocket in service today, able
to carry a fully loaded and fueled 737 jetliner
weighing 141,000 pounds into orbit.
The Legislature lately has shown a willingness
to help defense contractors to be competitive
in bidding for federal contracts. Lawmakers in
2014 supported an enhanced tax credit and tax
exemption for Lockheed Martin and Northrop
Grumman, both of whom were competing for
federal Department of Defense contracts.
In 2016, the Legislature again approved a
tax measure favorable to defense and aerospace
manufacturers. Lawmakers extended a sales and
use tax exemption on manufacturing equipment.
Aerospace is prized by state and local lawmakers
because average salaries top $100,000
and contractors and their suppliers create
manufacturing jobs -- some of which require
a high school diploma. The demand for workers
with technical skills is expected to grow
in the Los Angeles metro area, according to
a recent LAEDC report about the future of
work in the region. •

Although an advocate of “slow,” Dr. Sweet
ultimately thinks that the best scenario would
be a combination of both practices.
Dr. Sweet continues to be a student of the
world, taking the best of what she finds in
each culture. In her quest to find that right
balance of fast and slow, Dr. Sweet became
interested in Hildegard of Bingen, a 12th
century German nun, visionary, composer
and medical practitioner. She checked out a
book at the library and found that Hildegard’s
medieval medical book was similar to Chinese
and Ayurvedic medicine, which she was already
studying. Hildegard led her monastery’s
infirmary and herbal garden and was an early
proponent of nature’s power to heal.
There is an intriguing chapter about Laguna
Honda Hospital in San Francisco, a county
almshouse where Dr. Sweet worked for some
time. The almshouse is how the sick poor
were taken care of in the days before medical
insurance. At Laguna Honda, not only were
there medical facilities with patient wards
and medical equipment, but there was also a
greenhouse, an aviary and a farm for patients
to work as they recovered. To me, this sounds
like a perfect model for medicine!

Film Review from page 8
done for generations by staying hidden away
from the rest of the world while mining a
rare resource called vibranium. This is an
element stronger than steel that the Wakandans
put into everything from their buildings
to their clothes, and from what his sister
Shuri makes the Black Panther costume and
gadgets. But little does T’Challa know that
vibranium is also being coveted by enemies
abroad, including Klaue (Andy Serkis) and
the American Erik Killmonger (Michael B.
Jordan). It’s Killmonger who we learn is more
than meets the eye and has more than a bone
to pick with T’Challa as he challenges him for
the throne and for control of how to lead the
nation forward with less than peaceful results.
While Black Panther is the latest superhero
flick sandwiched between the rest of
the Marvel catalogue, it’s not your
traditional superhero movie. First of all,
there’s a new visual identity that director Ryan
Coogler (Fruitvale Station, Creed) injects into
the movie that keeps the whole thing lively
and excitable. And largely, there is a mythos
to Black Panther that makes the movie feel
even weightier next to its contemporaries.
Scenes of T’Challa connecting with his
ancestors for wisdom and guidance while he
connects with his destiny is a drama more
akin to Shakespeare than Superman.
It’s all pop entertainment escapism, but it’s
undeniable that there is political juice in this
thing. An interesting point of the movie is
that Black Panther must learn how to govern
in a political sense and do what’s best for
his people, which is a discourse that’s ever
more prescient today. Scenes in which King
T’Challa is confronted with how to rule over
Wakanda – whether to continue hiding from
the rest of the world and take care of its own
people with its rare resources – is especially
prescient to these times.
It can’t not be said that Black Panther is
also the face of a new kind of hero that has
been missing from these movies in quite some
time. Having embodied some of history’s
most important African American figures,
such as Jackie Robinson and Thurgood
Marshall, Boseman gives an effortless grace
and presence to his king-in-making. Jordan is
a mad dog off the leash, and other standout
performances include Lupita N’yongo as
Nakia and Forest Whitaker as Zuri. Seeing
people of color in major roles in native worlds
is empowering and gives Black Panther a
further distinction and importance compared
to others in the genre.
134 minutes. Black Panther is rated PG-13
for prolonged sequences of action violence,
and a brief rude gesture. Now playing. •
