1) Re: 2010 House Bill 2416 (energy efficiency standards for consumer products) by liliabillia on March 31, 2011Thanks for the information! I've been wondering about the energy efficiency bills and whether they're passing. Great article!
This is just the type of bill you want your legislature to be working on when the state is drowing in red ink. And people wonder why we're so upset with out government. And, isn't this the type of bill that proves the legislature isn't worried about the budget, and why should they be when they can pass more bills to increase taxes (er revenue sources)?
DEEDS NOT WORDS.
Here is another way the Democrats have found to increase costs for everyone.
Let's follow California to the brink of economic disaster. When the Leftcoast sinks into the ocean, I guess we won't care that we have nothing because the Democrats have taken everything from us.
