The Congressman introduced his first bill today, The West Coast Ocean Protection Act of 2010, which would ban all new oil and gas drilling in federal waters off the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington. We expect that it will get substantial support in light of the disaster in the Gulf.
The other news today was that he has been put on the House Armed Services Committee, which is a big deal for a new member. It will be interesting to see how that plays out, since he is a strong opponent of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Lots going on, yesterday we met with Transportation Secretary LaHood, who had good things to say about the prospects for High Speed Rail in California.
Don't let anyone tell you that change isn't happening, because it is. It's slow, sometimes, and sometimes not as much as we'd like, but it is happening.
