Chief of Staff Susan Kennedy, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez and high-ranking members of both the Senate and Assembly are being accompanied by representatives of energy companies and others with lobbying interests in Sacramento.

VOTE NO on Prop.87 The $0.51 per gal. corporate welfare to the oil refiners for adding 5.6% ethanol to California gas is about $500,000,000.00 per year. The ethanol may add over $1.00 per gal. to the gas profit in California. That may be about $100 billion in oil profit from California motorists. The science is interesting but so is the money. A $4 billion Prop. 87 oil tax may add $40 billion in oil profit. Charlie Peters (510) 537-1796 Clean Air Performance Professionals
