SB250 passed the Senate in a last minute arm twisting vote today (21-18). It now goes to the California Assembly where it will be assigned to a committee. That is the next round of letters, faxes, calls. Properly, it should go to ASM Local Gov't committee, but who know. If there are substantial changes from the Senate passed version, it goes back to the Senate (several things can happen, joint committee, another senate concurrent passing, etc.). It ain't over, but there were a lot of favors called, and one of the most disappointing was the final vote was given by Fran Paveley, the Senator that MANY, MANY dog people supported to toss Levine (AB1634 author) out.
