| Background The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), is a bedrock environmental law that consistently improves development projects from habitat and community perspectives. It gives stakeholders a voice in environmental issues where special interests often have too much power and influence with decision-makers through campaign contributions. Governor Newsom is trying to weaken the law in a very inappropriate manner – not through the usual legislative process but rather through last-minute “budget trailer bills” that don’t have regular public hearings. Action Requested Time is very short, and we would like to ask you to take action today or as soon as possible. Please call and leave a message for the Governor at 916-445-2841, or email him here. Below is a sample message: I oppose the budget trailer bills that weaken the CEQA process, harming the environment and limiting the ability of citizens and communities to participate in governmental decision-making. Los Cerritos Wetlands (and all wetlands) would look very different (way worse!) without the protection of CEQA. Take a minute to defend this important environmental law. Future generations will thank you. Elizabeth Lambe Executive Director Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust |
