Inyo County tourism will receive a much-needed boost under legislation signed this month by Governor Jerry Brown. I authored this new law, Assembly Bill 628, which creates a pilot project in Inyo County to connect existing trails designated for off-road vehicle use. The measure takes effect January 1, 2012..
Inyo County's economy relies upon the tourists who travel to the Eastern Sierra for the countless outdoor activities the area has to offer. Designating these trails will help encourage more visitors to enjoy Inyo County's natural wonder and protect these precious lands for generations to come. I thank the Governor for understanding how important this legislation is for the economy of our rural community.
The legislative year has ended. This year, lawmakers sent almost 900 bills to the Governor's desk and 760 of those measures were signed into law. It's interesting to note that while Governor Brown this year vetoed 14% of the bills that crossed his desk, he also holds the record as the Governor who has vetoed the lowest percentage of bills, 1.79% in 1982. Governor Schwarzenegger holds the record for the highest percentage of bills vetoed, 35% in 2008. Connie ConwayRead the Bill
