Taft <br /> <br />'LG8gue Board' Contlnued from Page 1... <br /> <br />The board was briefed on the status of the major infrastructure bond implementation legislation in <br />connection with the state budget deliberations. A large focus of this discussion centered on the <br />likely approval of a budget trailer bill that would make $950 million available to local governments <br />for local street and road funding. <br /> <br />Board members were then updated on the status of ACA 8 and AB 887, the legislative package <br />proposed by Californians for Eminent Domain Reform. The League is part of this coalition. <br />Following the briefing, the board voted unanimously to continue the League's support for pursuing <br />eminent domain reform through both the legislative and initiative process. <br /> <br />Included in an update to the board was information on the successful efforts by cities, the League <br />and environmental groups to secure a two-year legislative process for SB 303 (Ducheny). A <br />presentation on the League's partnership with HousIng Califomia and other groups to secure <br />future legislative support for funding of affordable housing programs in California foJlowed the S8 <br />303 discussion. <br /> <br />SB 375: Bill SponsQr Addresses League Board <br /> <br />SB 375 (Steinberg) was a major legislative topic of discussion for the board. The bill has <br />significant land use implications for local government and the league's position has been <br />'oppose unless amended." <br /> <br />Tom Adams, president of the board of directors of the California League of Conservation Voters, <br />and an SB 375 sponsor, met with the League's board to provide an explanation of why he <br />believes the legislation is important. <br /> <br />Adams discussed how with the passage of AB 32 last year and the increasing concern about <br />global warming, it is essential to link land use and transportation. He said SB 375'8 intent is to <br />reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled, which is a key component of AB 32's mandate to <br />reduce green house gas emissions by 25 percent by 2020. <br /> <br />3 <br />
