The oil and chemical industry lobbyist that Gov. Schwarzenegger tried to put in charge of the state's clean air program was soundly rejected by the Senate Thursday, a victory for environmental advocates and all state residents who care about the quality of the air we breathe.
Speak Out California played a role in that victory by sending more than 3,000 petition letters to decision-makers on the Senate Rules Committee and 37 Senators from throughout California. Sen. Debra Bowen's office said the grass-roots activism made a difference in the outcome.
