Amended Assembly Bill 162 To Be Heard May 1

Assembly Bill 162, as amended on 4/23 (see my post here about those awful amendments) has been re-referred to the Assembly’s Local Government Committee. It will be heard on Wednesday, May 1, 2013.

It is vital that your views on AB 162 be communicated to your electeds before the hearing.

For local governments, formal opposition letters addressed to the Committee and your electeds are a customary and proper route. I recommend you publish those letters on your local government web site home page to alert your residents to this Bill and your position on the it.

For the public, communicating your views to your state electeds is critical. If you don’t know who your state representatives are, visit and enter your home address at THIS SITE.
