[ABATE Local 6 Elist] FW: [ABATE] Pending Legislation

Mon Apr 23 19:54:40 PDT 2012

Please read the emails below from Dave Walsh, Carol Cromwell, and Lim
Lombardo.  They updated the status of AB1047 (to be heard on May 8th in
Senate Transportation Committee) and AB1535 (to be heard on April 25th in
Assembly Appropriations).  Since these bills will be heard soon, Jim
Lombardo states in his email below that it's really too late for letters on
this go around.  But if you happen to be in Sacramento, please stop by and
show your support.  O.K., I know the chances of you being in Sac are slim,
but who knows.  Jim also let us know that ABATE got notice too late really
to do anything in a timely manner on this.  He will be tracking and working
on the bills in the coming months.  Will keep you posted when we hear more.

Carol forwarded this information to me:

Hi folks,

received my updates on bills that I subscribe to ...

and for what it's worth ... the ABATE motorcycle related bills ...

AB1047 is scheduled to be heard on May 8, in the Senate Trans Cmte.

I pulled up the Assembly bill analysis sheet - it does not show any in
support or in opposition.

Why is that?

AB1535 is scheduled to be heard on April 25 in Assembly Appropriations Cmte.

That analysis shows in support - ABATE of Ca and 48 individuals.

None in opposition - i guess that's good.

but the "In support" is disappointing! Very dismal - and looks like not even
ABATE Members care about it.

JIm had this to add:

Yes by all means turn the troops lose on Letters FROM EVERY ALL 30 LOCALS
WOULD BR NICE!!! At least its a GOAL!! Plus any bushiness that would like to
support us!! 

We can tell our friends at the Defenders, that we would like their help with
this one. 

No need for ANYONE TO TAKE OFF WORK TO ATTEND!!!!!!! Locals and members are
welcome to attend if theywany  to show Biker support!!!!

As far as AB 1535, YES not a lot of letters---- HOWEVER HALDERMANS' OFFICE
SET THE BILL WITHOUT GIVING ME/US ANY NOTICE!!! We only had 10 days to
generate letter ect. It should be better notice from here on out! from them
to me

No much testimony on this one. Its only about fisxal. I will of course be
there to testifly.

AGAIN MEMBERS CAN ATTEND , NO LETTERS, TO SHORT A NOTICE , I THINK!! They
don't show letters of support in Asem Apprp Comm analysis!!

I will be VERY BUSY  for the next two months trying to move 3 ABATE BILLS
THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE!!!

Gary Haller just added this update to our Facebook Page:

>From Lombardo, No need to attend Approps Committee Wed. AB1535 the HOV sign
bill was put on suspense file. This is not good for us. Be ready for massive
letter writting campaign when Jim Lombardo says to.

sending them letters in support of AB1047 NOW.
