ACTION ALERT - BizFed leaders needed to write to Legislators from overriding the will of LA County Voters
At the June 20th BizFed Board of Directors meeting, BizFed members officially voted to oppose SB 268 (Mendoza) which would restructure the composition of the LA County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Board of Directors. BizFed members articulated concern that changing the composition of the Metro Board, especially after the historic vote (over 71%) in favor of Measure M, would change the agreement Metro made with Los Angeles County voters regarding accountability, governance, implementation and project delivery. These are key areas in which BizFed is an active participant and is monitoring very carefully.
This Wednesday June 28th, there will be a hearing in Sacramento at the Assembly's Local Government Committee on this legislation, SB 268 (Mendoza). We urge members to submit their own letters communicating your opposition to SB 268 (Medoza) to the Assembly Local Government Committee, our LA County Assemblymembers on the committee Richard Bloom and Sebastian Ridley-Thomas and key committee Assemblymembers outside LA in Assemblymembers Ana Caballero (Monterey County), Tim Grayson (Contra Costa) and Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher (San Diego).
Please spread the word and join us to stop this reckless piece of legislation.
Send your letters to;
Assembly Local Government Committee Chief Consultant Debbie Michel, Debbie.Michel@asm.ca.gov ,
Legislative Director for Local Assemblymember Richard Bloom, Guy Strahl, Guy.Strahl@asm.ca.gov ,
Legislative Director for Assemblymember Sebastian Ridley-Thomas, Ryan Pessah, Ryan.Pessah@asm.ca.gov ,
