Tomorrow: Wed. May 15: Debate begins in AppropriationsA few weeks ago the "BLOOM BILL" or AB 1301 - authored by Assemblymember Richard Bloom that calls for a moratorium on fracking until regulations are in place and require review of the potential environment impacts of the controversial well completion process - made it through the Natural Resources Committee. Now it heads to the Assembly Appropriations Committee, and debate begins tomorrow, May 15. This committee deals with things that cost money, and it may be a tight debate.
Residents of California: Call any Committee member and let them know where you stand on this bill. PLEASE CALL BEFORE WEDNESDAY, MAY 15. Democratic Leadership: 1. Speaker of the Assembly, Assemblymember John Pérez, (916) 319-2053 2. Chair of the Appropriations Committee, Assemblymember Mike Gatto, (916) 319-2043 The potential swing votes are noted in bold.
