SB 250CHANGE IN VOTING

The "official" vote can change until the session ends and so here are the changes from yesterday.

 Mike Eng finally voted and he is a 'YES'.
Carter changed her vote from 'NO' to 'YES'
Galgiani changed her vote from 'YES' to 'ABSTAIN'

 The first was expected.

 The second is not a shock based on conversations with Carter's staff in Sacramento yesterday. It is a repudiation of her constituents and the events held in San Bernardino. But Allan Drusys has been actively working Riverside and San Bernardino folks. It's interesting the City Council he is on repudiated SB250 but he has influence where he is less well known.

 Galgiani makes more sense as an Abstain. Farm Bureau, Cattlemen's Association and the Outdoor Heritage Alliance are all opposed to SB250. They represent her constituents. In a very depressed part of the state, she has dog events of all types that bring in a great deal of money. If she stays as an abstain, she will be truly representing her constituents.
