NBEAA LOCAL ADVOCACY -------------------- Chapter PR director Stan Ireland and chapter president Chris Jones met with California State Senator Pat Wiggins and her district director Michael Allen Friday February 1 for about 50 minutes. See http://www.nbeaa.org/new_jan_07/advocacy.htm for what was presented to them. They were very receptive to our suggestions -- EV incentives, more EV public chargers and more EVs in government fleet vehicles -- and invited us to work more with them. We will also work with other city and county governments, the Climate Protection Campaign, and the American Lung Association. If you are interested, please review the materials and reply to Chris via the NBEAA home page contact information with any input you may have since the goal is to represent the chapter as best as possible.
