SB250 - Time to voice your support

The first SB250 hearing is scheduled for April 15 in the Senate Local Government Committee. If you are in support of Dean Florez' bill, now is the time to make sure your voice is heard. It is crucial that you send or fax in your letter of support. Emails won't do it folks --- we need real letters.

A generic letter you can print out and fill in the blanks can be found by clicking here. Obviously, you can use the letter as a starting point and add in your own thoughts. Letters can be faxed directly to Dean's office at (916) 327-9057. If you want to mail it, you can mail it to Senator Dean Florez, State Capitol, Room 313, Sacramento, CA, 95814. Dean Florez is the only person to whom you need send your letters. If you are representing an organization or business, please print the letter out on your letterhead.

Also, please call the five committee and respectfully and politely ask that they support SB250:

• Senator Patricia Wiggins (Chair) - (916) 651-4002
• Senator Dave Cox (Vice-Chair) - (916) 651-4001
