Vote was by party line, both republicans NO all three Dems YES
BUT Wolk asked for amendments and Wiggins asked for the speakers to provide hard proof of Santa Cruz "success" and Calgary's success as well as Financial figures for BOTH
Santa Cruz, still being waved as a "victory" for MSN is not, it's been an expensive fiasco and out performed by it's non-MSN neighbors.
Calgary on the other hand has been very very successful, without controversy and is actually financially self supporting and has fostered actual cooperation between owners, ACOs, breeders and rescues with a 95% licensure rate for dogs!, Compare that to the dismal 15-23% rate common in California. Calgary also kills less than 10% of it's impounded dogs and expects to do even better this year.
SO if we hit all the senators, especially the democrats, with good, accurate, solid factual information HARD and POLITELY in the coming weeks, we may be able to get SB250 converted to something actually useful.
Stay tuned....
