LEGISLATIVE

The MRFPAC reports that Rob Andrews (D-NJ) is looking to unseat long time US Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) in that state's
primary being held June 3rd. You may remember that Senator Lautenberg was the guy who wrote letters to all of the states Governors asking them to help support a nation-wide helmet law. Good luck to Mr. Andrews. In other news the SIERRA CLUB is proposing that Illinois follow California's air resource board or (CARB). This would mean that cars sold in Illinois would be made for Illinois, jacking up the price of a new car by as much as $3000. ABATE opposes HB 3424. Call your State Reps. and ask them to oppose it also.Remember, it's not the destination it's the journey.
