The main business of this meeting will be to interview candidates for Congressional District 2: Michael Halliwell and Dan Roberts. As the candidates will probably be arriving early to have dinner before the meeting, plan come early and get some face-to-face time with them. We have scheduled them as the second item on the agenda so that they can leave the meeting early. Each candidate will speak for 10 minutes followed by 20 minutes for questions. Later on in the agenda we will have the opportunity to discuss each candidate and vote to endorse one, or neither of them. To receive the endorsement of our committee a candidate must receive six votes (2/3rds vote) of the eight Central Committee members. For a candidate to received the endorsement of CRP, all six central committees in CD02 must vote to endorse the same candidate. The interview time, 40 minutes, alone will dictate a longer meeting but I will make every effort to adjourn the meeting by 8:30.

We hope to see you there!

The next Central Committee meeting will be Wednesday, December 14, 2011. The meeting will take place in Fort Bragg at 400 South Street, in the community room of the Moura Senior Housing Project. South street is just past the bridge into Fort Bragg and the Home Style Café and a Chevron gas station are on the corner. Turn right on South Street and the Moura Senior Housing Project will be a few blocks down the street on the right. The community room is in the same building as the office. The meeting will start at 7pm.

Everyone is welcome. We hope to see you there!

At a meeting on Thursday, June 18, 2009, the Mendocino County Republican Central Committee endorsed the annual $15 Park Vehicle Pass proposed by the Budget Conference Committee calling it “a common sense solution to funding State Parks”.

The $15 Park Vehicle Pass, paid at annual vehicle registration renewal, would allow the vehicle and all occupants free day use at any state park, beach or reserve operated by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The revenue generated by the Park Vehicle Pass would be used to fund State Parks operations and would provide a stable source of revenue independent from annual general fund budget deliberations.

The endorsement was in response to the Budget Conference Committee removing the Department of Parks and Recreation from the general fund budget. This would result in closing 220 of 279 state parks, beaches and reserves statewide and 19 of 20 State Parks facilities in Mendocino County unless another funding mechanism was adopted. To insure continued operation of State Parks facilities the Budget Conference Committee proposed the annual $15 Park Vehicle Pass.

In their letters to the Governor, the chairs of the Senate and Assembly Republican Caucuses and other Republican leaders around the state the County Central Committee described the potential economic impact of State Parks closures on coastal Mendocino County’s fragile economy and reminded them:

“Over many decades the state has purchased thousands of acres of land to hold in perpetuity for the preservation, protection and enjoyment of California residents. The proposed annual $15 Park Vehicle Pass would insure that goal could be attained. We believe that the Governor and all Republican legislators have a moral obligation to protect and enhance our State Park system for our children and grandchildren…” and urged their support for the $15 Park Vehicle Pass legislation.

The fireman on a television ad ominously says that unless Prop 1A passes $16 Billion will be lost resulting in reduction to firefighters and police. In another TV ad a teacher says that unless Prop 1A passes $16 Billion will result in cuts to education. The Governator threatens to cut firefighters immediately. NOT REALLY!

If Prop 1A fails on May 19 will $16 Billion immediately be lost to the state resulting in massive layoffs of teachers, firefighters and police? NO. Over the next two years the state will receive $16 Billion dollars from the sales tax hike, the Vehicle License Fee increases and the higher state income tax rates recently passed by our legislature. What Prop 1A does is extend those tax increases for another one or two years. So only starting in 2011 when the recent tax increases expire will the $16 Billion start being “lost”.

Our state legislators voted to stick us with higher taxes. We had no say in it. Before you vote on Prop 1A on May 19 ask yourself, “Who can handle my money more wisely, me or some faceless bureaucrats or, worse yet, the politicians in Sacramento?”

Vote No on Prop 1A.
