#15149, "Almost 500 AB 7 Support Letters Generated from the FOCH..."
Howdy Anglers,
Almost 500 AB 7 Support letters have been generated from the Friends of California Hatcheries website. I am not sure how many support letters have come in the mail to Assemblyman Dave Cogdill, but I know that it is probably over 2000 (I will find out).
The bill will be heard in the Assembly Appropriations Committee on May 18th. The bill will probably be placed into the suspense file because of money being attached to it. Don't worry if this happens, this is pretty much standard procedure.
If you would like to be proactive, you can send an email to Assemblymember Judy Chu Assemblymember.Chu@asm.ca.gov . She is the Chairperson of the Assembly Appropriations Committee. Tell her that you are in support of this important bill.
Again, thanks to all who have sent in letters of support. If you haven't yet sent one in, you can still do it. Go to http://www.friendsofcaliforniahatcheries.org/new_page_4.htm and send one in. If your kids fish, have them send one in with their age written next to their name. Legislators love kids being involved in the legislative process.
