1032 VETO-ed!! ( 23:31:27 SatOct 13 2007 )

To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 1032 without my signature.
The purpose of this bill is to protect fish and wildlife from the potential deleterious
effects of suction dredge mining. Although I appreciate the author’s intent and the need
to protect our fish, wildlife, and water resources, this bill is unnecessary.
Current law gives the Department of Fish and Game (Department) the necessary
authority to protect fish and wildlife resources from suction dredge mining. It has
promulgated regulations and issues permits for this activity. Permits for suction dredge
mining must ensure that these operations are not deleterious to fish and allow the
Department to specify the type and size of equipment to be used. In its regulations, the
Department may also designate specific waters or areas that are closed to dredging.
It is unclear why this bill specifically targets a number of specific waterways for closure
or further restrictions. The listed waterways represent only a small fraction of the waters
in our State where suction dredging is occurring. The benefit or protection from such a
minor closure is negligible and supports the notion that scientific environmental review
should precede such decisions.
Sincerely,
Arnold Schwarzenegger

as in other vcitories I wouldn't count my chickens; mustnt think each time this is over. Stay together and become a voice for the next time around the corner if the adversaries are any clue...

Hooray,

thats all we want just a chance to have dredging put to the test in an impartial scientific study.

There is hope that maybe sanity in government does exist.

Ok now lets start gearing up for the next fight. I don't know what it will be but you can bet somebody somewhere is right now trying to think of how they can take away more of your freedom.

This information is correct, I just verified it. There is no doubt in my mind that what carried the day was letters, emails, and comments to the governor.

We win again!!!

Maybe we all should Send a thank you letter to Arnold now since he did the right thing. Let him know we appreciate what he did.

We didn't win....Justice and the "rule of law" prevailed!! Liberty over tyranny. Truth over propaganda. Reality over fantasy.

good job.

California is still the golden state after all and a few thousands of cubic yards of material spread out over tens of thousands of square miles is so amusing to think of in contrast to one storm sweeping the west coast moving tens of millions of yards in its natural progression to the sea.

wonder how the gillnetting was this year for the tribe??

'wonder how the gillnetting was this year for the tribe??'

If the proponents of AB1032, environmentalists & all those trying to kill dredging were really interested in protecting the northern Caif. fisheries maybe they would consider limiting the annual rape of the salmon runs by local tribes.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers
