HOA/CID Legislation (Sacramento) Scorecard

Governor Should Veto ASB 980 (CALDERON) AND 1574 (HOUSTON)

July 9, 2007

Summary:

Grass-roots efforts have been successful in KILLING AT LEAST ONE BILL (SB670) <= dead.
Sending at least ONE/TWO BILLS to an INDEFINITE INACTIVE STATUS;
Substantially SLOWING DOWN AT LEAST SIX OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET OUT OF COMMITTEE;
Others have been referred and re-referred and re-re-re-referred; putting the breaks on AT LEAST HALF of the dozen because the authors have been forced to KEEP REWRITING THEM!!!

”We took on the California Association of Realtors and the Big-Dog Industries and the special interests that want to tie our hands and prevent us from exercising our rights and take our money by creating rights for them, their lobbies, their industries and do that by making-up statutes => and WE'RE WINNING!. You also know that we've been fighting the most dangerous duo of legislation that will effectively KILL YOUR PROFITS, SALEABILITY, and PORK UP YOUR ESCROWS, AND make you think twice before leaving your property to your heirs because THESE BILLS LIVE IN PERPETUITY.
The legal significance of these bills is LETHAL” writes author and columnist, D. Vantizian
