Just got off the phone with my Representatives offices telling them to support this bill, get it thru committee and pass it. Put your threads and posts where your mouths are liberals and do the same.



The whole story:
Waste Connections threatens to move to Texas - Sacramento Business, Housing Market News | Sacramento Bee (http://www.sacbee.com/2011/09/01/3876485/waste-connections-threatens-to.html - broken link)

Thanks for that, I will be happy to send them a thank you card, now, only 2 million more businesses to go, dang, that is a lot of thank you cards.

This action to crash the system has been in place for many years and they finally see the goal posts within reach ... the Cloward-Piven goal post!

However don was even funnier.

Corporations have learned to become whiny babies and threaten leaving town whenever they want some sort of assistance from the government, or if they want their expansion to be aided by legislation.

*yawns*.

Once again, I wonder why so many middle class Republicans froth at the mouth rushing to aid these poor 'billion-dollar' corporations.

Its ridiculous.

Yeah man, all we need are cattle ranches and avocado farms! And the odd Edward Abbey wanna be.

Who claims to be a hillbilly? mmmm?

I like Abbey, Although he ruined the southwest. I write about my favorite wildland state, it ain't California, but I won't publish or identify places as I don't ever want it full of people.

Here, argue with this statement.

The highest level of civilization ever achieved was the Californio Rancho Culture.

Ok, so here's the whole story, without liberal-bashing:

- In 1984, voters in Solano County passed a law limiting the amount of waste that can be moved to Solano landfills from other counties.

- Waste Collections built a big landfill there and has been violating the law for years as county officials were turning the blind eye.

- Last year, a lawsuit against county officials finally forced them to enforce the measure.

- Now Waste Collections is attempting an end run around the will of the people by passing a state-level law that would void the measure.

- When it started looking like the bill might not pass, they tried to blackmail the legislature by threatening to move their headquarters out of state.

- And neocons like Bulldogdad somehow interpret this as "stupid asinine decisions by the Liberal Aristocracy in the Legislature".

Weird. I thought that neocons were the ones supposed to defend the right to self determination, and opposed to government intrusion in people's lives. And here they are supporting a legislative action that would blatantly override the will of the people.

Thank you for that clear concise answer and rebuttal.

LOL the biggest company in Sacramento is a TRASH company. They should just move their landfill to on top of the capitol building. What goes on there is already fishy. LOL.

Well as usual lets get to the real facts of the case:

1984's Measure E passed by initiative vote in Solano County.

1989 the State Passed California's Integrated Waste Management Act. Which superseded and invalidated measure E because it violated the provisions of the IWMA.

In 1992 Formal Opinions were issued by Solano County Counsel and California Legislative Counsel that Measure E was unconstitutional because it violated the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. As such enforcement of Measure E stopped. YEAH THATS REALLY A BLIND EYE.


In 2009 a law suit was filed to force enforcement of Measure E again. In 2010 a Solano County Judge REWROTE (which almost unheard of) Measure E and ordered enforcement of Measure E. Judicial activism at its best

Then Attorney General Jerry Brown filed an Amicus Brief in the litigation against Measure E.

The Solano County Judges subsequent revision of Measure E and the enforcement order has been put on hold pending further review of its legality by the California State Court of Appeals.

AB1178 the bill in contention would have nullified the unconstitutional Measure E and any subsequent measures or initiatives that seek to undermine 1989's IWMA.

Currently AB1178 has been held until 2012 pending the outcome of the rewritten Measure E by the State Appeals court.

Wow so this so-called NEO Con actually agrees with the Liberal Jerry Brown, the Liberal Assembly Woman (Ma) San Francisco who authored the bill and the overwhelmingly Liberal Solano County board of Supervisors.

Will wonders never cease.
