Redondo Beach Chamber Continues to Hold Elected Officials
Accountable to Business Community
The 2006 Vote
Record: The 31 Potential Laws Tracked by the Redondo Beach
Chamber and How Senator Debra Bowen and Assemblymember Ted
Lieu Voted
 The Redondo Beach Chamber’s Government Relations Committee
(GRC) voted in early 2006 to track 31 potential laws (bills)
that might impact Redondo Beach businesses. Each month, the
GRC members reviewed and discussed the status of all 31
bills. Redondo Beach local legislators State Senator Debra
Bowen and Assemblymember Ted Lieu received letters
communicating the Chamber’s positions on all 31 bills. The
Redondo Beach Chamber lobbied during the 2006 legislative
session for our legislators to OPPOSE 19 bills and SUPPORT
12 bills.
“The Redondo Beach Chamber continues its effort to
effectively represent the interests of business with
government,” stated Marna Smeltzer, President and CEO of the
Redondo Beach Chamber. “This vote record highlights the work
of our Chamber to protect the economic vitality of our
region and to hold our local legislators accountable to our
business community,” Smeltzer continued.
The Redondo Beach Chamber’s official positions on each of
the 31 bills have been available online at
www.RedondoAdvocacy.biz including summaries and explanations
of why the Redondo Beach Chamber opposed and supported each
of the 31 bills.
To reach the “Percentage FOR pro-jobs legislation”, the
Redondo Beach Chamber tallied the number of times our
legislators voted for the Chamber’s position and divided
that total by the total number of bills in which each
legislators voted. A bill is not figured into the vote
record percentage if a legislator, for whatever reason, did
not vote on a bill or if the bill died before the legislator
had an opportunity to vote.
