Assembly members Janice Shamberg, Melinda Taylor, Doug Van Etten, Fay Von Gemmingen and Brian Whittle are co-sponsors.

Hmmmm, I would take that further and state that the US Government shares "ALL" of the blame, and none of the responsibility/accountibility, for 9/11. Where else would the blame fall? I agree wholeheartedly, they are the problem, not the solution.
