Dan Logue: Just say no to High Speed Rail

Assemblyman Dan Logue urged voters to speak out against the Legislature’s attempt to authorize the start of the High Speed Rail Project. The majority Democrats passed SB 1029 through the Assembly today to authorize the High Speed Rail Authority to begin construction.

“Right after they cut funding to schools and made dangerous changes to the state’s healthcare system by forcing children into the Medi-Cal program, the majority party wants to write a check for $8 billion to build a high speed rail to nowhere,” said Logue. “This will only force more cuts to important programs next year.”

Logue loathes Democrat spending plan

The California Legislative Democrats passed a budget yesterday and minority Republicans, whose votes don't matter since Prop 25 passed in 2010, are fuming. 


Assemblyman Dan Logue (R-Marysville) had this to say in a press release:

“Our budget process should not be carried out behind closed doors through back room deals."  

“This budget takes us in exactly the wrong direction and relies on passage of a job-killing $8.5 billion tax increase that does nothing to balance the budget. 

"Instead, the majority party has chosen, yet again, to increase government spending at the very time hard working Californians are struggling just to get by.”

Gaines, Pan and Logue face 'Do or Die' week at the Capitol

The busy season has officially arrived at the State Capitol. Friday is the deadline for the California Legislature to pass measures out of their house of origin. Oh, and there's that pesky budget bill that is due to be passed -- per the state constitution -- by June 30. 

That means legislators are buried in bills and scrambling to "git 'er done." 

Many bills will hit the end of the line this week, particularly those that spark controversy, the too-expensive ones, or those that failed to gain support from a majority of legislators.

Assemblyman Dan Logue (R-Marysville) is holding a press conference today at the state capitol to announce a bill, known as California Park Stewardship Act of 2012, that would help save California’s state parks. 

Logue, who represents North Auburn and Colfax, said in a press release: 

“I am proud to fight to keep state parks like Bidwell Mansion open for the public to enjoy. 

“These parks are a part of California's rich history, and serve to remind us of the beauty of God’s creation and of our state’s great accomplishments. We cannot allow them to be lost.”

Assembly Bill 1589 would require the Parks Department to work on finding an alternative before closing a park, and disclose to the public its reasoning to close down a certain park.
