This sales tax would cost each LA County resident $25/year - less than a tank of gas at today's prices, and would change the face of Los Angeles transportation. On Monday, August 4, AB 2321 will be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee, Sen. Tom Torlakson, Chair. If you want to take action, call or send an email to Sen. Torlakson, and/or Sens. Ellen Corbett, George Runner, Leland Yee. Thank Sen. Sheila Kuehl and Sen. Mark Ridley Thomas for their strong support. The Assemblymember is optimistic that the bill will pass the Senate committee, then it goes to the Senate floor, then the Assembly floor due to early amendments, and then the Governor's office. Good luck to all of us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
