The
2005 Vote Record:
The
Redondo Beach Chamber Raises Elected Officials’ Awareness on
Business Legislation
The 31 Bills Tracked by the Redondo Beach
Chamber and How State Senator Bowen, State Senator
Lowenthal, State Senator Vincent, Assembly member Horton,
Assembly member Karnette, and Assembly member Oropeza Voted
In 2005, the
Redondo Beach Chamber’s Government Relations Council (GRC)
tracked 31 total pieces of local, state and federal
potential laws (bills) that might impact Redondo Beach
businesses. The GRC members reviewed all of the bills in
the spring of 2005.
“The Redondo
Beach Chamber believes that it is extremely important for us
to inform our elected officials about the impact these bills
might have on our local business community,” stated Ann
Garten, Chair of the Redondo Beach Chamber Board. “We will
continue to advocate for our businesses next year with the
same objective of supporting business-friendly, job-creating
and quality of life enhancing bills.”
Redondo Beach’s
local legislators received letters on all 31 bills tracked
by the Redondo Beach Chamber. In addition, the Redondo
Beach Chamber’s official positions on each of the 31 bills
have been available on this Web site since early
2005. The Web page included summaries and explanations of
why the Redondo Beach Chamber supported or opposed each of
the 31 bills.
“The GRC
continues to advocate for Redondo Beach businesses,” said
Marna Smeltzer, President and CEO of the Redondo Beach
Chamber. “The Redondo Beach Chamber continues to work
vigorously to communicate with our local representatives
about our priorities and the bills that might impact our
business community.”
To reach the
following vote percentages supporting pro-jobs for each
local legislator below, the Redondo Beach Chamber tallied
the number of times our representatives voted in agreement
with the Redondo Beach Chamber’s positions and divided that
total by the number of chances the elected official had to
vote.
