Roger Niello is a Republican member of the California State Assembly. He represents California's 5th Assembly District, a position to which he was first elected in November 2004. Under California's term limits, Niello cannot run again for the position he currently holds. (Andrew Pugno has announced he is seeking the seat.)[1]
The 5th district in the California State Assembly includes Arden Arcade, Carmichael, the City of Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, the City of Folsom, North Highlands, McClellan Park, Orangevale, Natomas, and Sacramento in Sacramento County and Granite Bay in Placer County.
Positions
"Sacramento Six"
Assemblyman Niello, along with five other Republicans in the California State Legislature voted for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's solution to the state's $41 billion dollar funding gap. The six Republicans have become known as the Sacramento Six. [2]
Ballot titles
In 2009, Niello introduced California Assembly Bill 319. AB 319 proposes to transfer responsibility for writing the ballot titles of statewide California propositions from the California Attorney General's office to the office of the California Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO). AB 319 would also have the LAO come up with the fiscal estimates for statewide ballot propositions, rather than the current system under which the fiscal estimate is compiled jointly by the Department of Finance and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee along with an estimate by the LAO.[3]
