Good Evening Young Dems!
The EBYD Executive Board has endorsed support for SB1.If any one you have any objections to this action please email myself or our President to hold a formal endorsement vote at our General Membership meeting.
Senate Bill 1, passed by the Legislature and on Gov. Newsom's desk, would enshrine federal clean air, water, and wildlife protection law as of January 19, 2017 into state law to prevent federal cutbacks.
All three of our East Bay legislators voted for it. Gov. Newsom is iffy, apparently because it threatens some of his connections with farmers and water districts in the Central Valley.
