Beam me to Planet Gore !
Help us out - what does the measure say?
I don’t live in CA but for those that do, can you give them a summary so they have MORE reason to ACT?
TIA!!
If you don’t want to end up ‘living in a condo by the Railroad Tracks’,
—
You should see all the new complexes in the silicon valley right next to RR tracks. It’s too late in some areas.
But I agree, No on SB375
BumP!
I fully agree that SB375 just wipes out all local control in local hands and will destroy what little is left of individual private property rights in CA!!!
Well, actually a condo next to the railroad tracks would be my hubby’s dream-come-true. But then he is a train nut so what does he know? I’ll look into it.
I don’t live in California. What’s it about?
We've (my sig. other and I) have decided to get the h3ll out ASAP (we're just north of the L.A. area up in the high desert)... within two years, sooner if we can swing it financially.
The last two or three years have been brutal financially. We're thinking of one of the small towns in northern Arizona where we can pay HALF the rent and HALF the utilities.
The landlord here just raised the rent to $1,000. She thinks that because we work at home, we should pay her higher rent than if we commuted somewhere; but she's not in any hurry to repair things. Talk about money-hungry!
If I had the money, I'd get out of Dodge next week. My sig. other can't drive due to low vision, but he finally sees that the "good weather" here is trumped by other things, such as the high cost of living and the political climate, not to mention being overrun by illegals.
I've had it with California. I'm not from here originally. I've read that 40 years or so ago, the cost of living here wasn't all that much higher than in other major cities. However, over the ensuing years, it's gone crazy. There is a mortgage crisis out here (lots of vacant houses), but the rents haven't gone down.
I had left California three times before, but came back because I missed friends. However, this time I'm staying out. Maybe come back for a visit. But I'm sick and tired of being a hamster on a wheel... running ever faster, never catching up financially. Good-bye, People's Republic!
I’d suggest changing the font on that poster, and perhaps the color. The current selection makes it difficult/slow to read, and you want to make it quick & easy.
Seadog Bytes is suggesting that conservatives try to influence a lame duck Democrat.
Good luck to you sir.

I called. The automated menu was a bit different ("Press 1 for English," etc). I weighed in on those pieces of legislation they have on their automated menu (I had to call 3 times to do it):
• AB 2567 - Harvey Milk Day (NO!)
• AB 2747 - End of Life Care (NO!)
• SB 60 - Drivers Licenses for Illegal Aliens (NO!).
For SB 375, you have to talk to a representative during "normal business hours" -- 9AM to 5PM, M-F.
I'll be calling tomorrow, urging the Governor to veto SB 375.
If ya remind me, I'll ping it to the McClintock ping list tomorrow and see if we can get some phone calls going. I know he was very opposed to this crazy legislation, writing about it back in June.
Preferred Growth Scenario [Sen. Tom McClintock California Senate speech on urban planning bill]
The California legislature has passed SB 375, the nation's first attempt to tie land-use planning and transporation investments to greenhouse gas emissions in the name of fighting global warming. It is currently awaiting Schwarzenegger's signature.
The media is expecting Schwarzenegger to sign this monstrosity. If you can find the time to make a phone call Today, please do.
Phone: (916) 445-2841
(Press 1 for English, Press 2 to comment on legislation, Press 0 to talk to representative)
Just tell them you "oppose SB 375" or ask that he veto it.
The legislation: Transportation planning: travel demand models: sustainable communities strategy: environmental review.
His office has stated ‘he’s not signing anything until the budget is passed’. Then he’ll sign it I’m sure. He’s been putting land use planners in all the appointed positions he can, since taking office, so it’s pretty clear how he feels about socialist block housing for the citizens of California.
You broke the telephone! All I get is a busy signal >:=)
