Senator Pat Wiggins - July 2010 Report

July 1, 2010
Submitted by alternate Joyce Overton, Clearlake City Councilwoman


The Assembly Utilities and Commerce Committee voted 10-0 today to approve SB 730, legislation by North Coast Senator Patricia Wiggins (D – Santa Rosa). The bill is designed to maximize Sonoma County’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve energy
efficiency.


Invasive Mussels
The "Quaggamire" That Threatens California’s Waters
A year ago, when Senator Wiggins first introduced the idea of controlling quagga and zebra mussels, most people had never heard of them. One year later many, many people’s lives have been directly affected by this latest exotic pest that threatens California’s waters.
Today, quagga mussels are known to occur in 18 southern California lakes, the Colorado River and its conveyance system, Lakes Havasu and Mead. The zebra mussel has become established in Lake Justo in San Benito County. The infested southern counties include Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Orange.
Within the Second District, staff has been very involved with local programs aimed at mussel prevention.  Both Ruth Lake and County of Lake have taken aggressive steps to avert disaster by initiating local boat screening and inspection programs in an attempt to stop vessels from inadvertently introducing mussel adults or their larvae. But more needs to be done.


Smart Meter Concerns

For the past few months, Senator Wiggen’s offices have received numerous calls from constituents expressing their concerns over PG&E’s mandatory "SmartMeter" installation program.
Concerns have ranged from the accuracy of the meters to their health and environmental ramifications, not to mention, and perhaps most important of all, cost: Customers in many PG&E areas have told their legislative representatives that their utility bills have increased since the so-called "smart meters" have been installed at their homes.
Several of my constituents reported feeling ill following installation of their "smart meters" and were adamant in their desire to have the devices removed.

Implementing the Affordable Care Act

Three months ago this week, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act.  As a result of that law, families and small businesses across the country will be able to save money by purchasing health care more affordably; our national long-term structural deficit will be reduced; millions of uninsured Americans will finally be able to get the coverage and the care they need; and all Americans can count on more stability and greater control of their health care decisions as a result of new consumer protections.  While the law will not be fully implemented for a few years, many of the benefits of reform are already coming to Americans.  For example:o   Last month, four million small business owners across the country were notified about their potential eligibility this year for a health care tax cut worth tens of thousands of dollars that could help them to cover the cost of insurance for their employees.
