‘Job Killer’ Bills Fail to Move
A number
of California
Chamber of
Commerceopposed “job
killer” bills are
likely dead for
the year, having missed the legislative
deadline to pass the house in which
they were introduced.
Rejected on a vote of 18-37 in the
Assembly was an Internet tax bill, AB
1840 (C. Calderon; D-Montebello).
The bill would have encouraged
companies that provide services via
the Internet and which operate and
provide jobs in California to move
their operations out of California.
AB 1840 is scheduled to be
reconsidered, but it seems unlikely to
gain more support.
A CalChamber-led coalition of
companies emphasized in a letter
to members of the Assembly that
AB 1840 would have undermined
the ability of revenue-producing
California web service companies to
succeed and could have resulted in
significant revenue-draining litigation
against the state.
AB 1840 clouded the definition
of “nexus” — the standard used to
determine which companies must
collect California sales or use taxes. In
particular, AB 1840 eliminated the safe
harbor rule that the use of a California
web server in and of itself would not
trigger the collection obligation.
Missed Deadline
The following “job killer” bills also
failed to pass their house of origin:·

with the utilities’ ability to meet the
AB 32 carbon cap mandates and drives
up the cost of AB 32 compliance,
ultimately leading to increased utility
bills, by mandating on-site energy
generation and efficiency standards
for all new commercial development.
AB 2153 (Krekorian; D-Burbank)
Construction Jobs Loss. Imposes
an unconstitutional developer fee
on new residential and commercial
development that will be used to
finance water conservation strategies
in existing communities by requiring
that all new development be waterdemand neutral.
AB 2690 (Krekorian; D-Burbank)
Increased Health Care Costs.
Expands liability of manufacturers of
prescription pharmaceutical products
by eliminating a well-established and
common-sense legal defense which
recognizes that a patient’s doctor
should warn them of the risks and side
effects of drugs.
AB 2847 (Krekorian; D-Burbank)
Increased Health Care Costs.
Raises health care costs due to
increased litigation by shifting the
burden of proof from providers to

appropriateness of care regardless of

any sound clinical foundation or is

SB 1165 (Kuehl; D-Santa Monica)
Infrastructure and Construction Jobs
Loss. Jeopardizes economic growth
by restricting environmental impact
statements to a five-year lifetime
which will delay permitting of the
project and open the door for frivolous
lawsuits in an attempt to block the
project.
Amended
AB 2359 (Jones; D-Sacramento)
Originally limited investment by
capital markets by imposing legal
liability on the secondary market
for flaws in home loans written by
other lenders and brokers. Amended
to remove problematic “assignee
liability” provisions that would have
limited such investments and reduced
liquidity, so no longer considered a
“job killer.” The CalChamber still
opposes, however, due to language
limiting arbitration and some
unresolved mortgage loan concerns.

killer” bills, visit www.calchamber.

that are owned by residents of Lake
County. Proof of a “local vessel” must
be provided; this may include a valid
driver’s license with a Lake County
address; the vessel registration
certificate showing a Lake County
address; or alternately, a utility bill
showing a Lake County residence and/
or a boat-slip lease agreement with a
local marina.
As part of the inspection process,
an inspection application form,
which includes an affidavit, must be
completed, signed, and submitted.
In addition, for registered vessels,
owners/operators also must have the
registration number (CF#) of the vessel.
For those from out of the area, several
local bait shops and marine-related
businesses offer this vessel inspection
service to visitors, and many resort
owners and marina operators offer this
service to their guests and customers.

Cow Mountain Goats
Home of the
“Brush Busters”
Imagine a work force that never calls
in sick, doesn’t complain, and knows
from birth how the job is done. Brush
Busters is a group of hundreds of these
highly motivated workers.
Alisa Carlson, a.k.a. “the Goat
Lady” and Gary Gregory (“the Goat
Lady’s husband”) raise registered and
commercial Kiko meat goats on 250
acres in Lakeport. They use the goat
herd, called a mob, to clear brush, weeds,
grasses, and low tree branches that fuel
California’s pervasive brushfires. In 2002,
they started with twenty goats to control the fire fuel load on their own Scotts
Valley ranch. Since 2002, Alisa and Gary have expanded their operation to over
500 goats, offering vegetation management services commercially in Lake and
surrounding counties.
“We provide goats, gear, consultation and expertise to manage large and
small, public or private, vegetation management projects consistent with good
land stewardship. Managing goats is an effective, environmentally friendly, safe
and very entertaining method of controlling brush and weeds,” says Alisa.

Wray Graphics
With over 20 years experience in
graphic design, Patrice Wray brought
her talents to Lake County over a year
ago. Originally from West Virginia,
Patrice fell in love with the greens and
the mountains of the area and knew
that this would be home.
Patrice started her career after graduating in Journalism/
Advertising from West Virginia University in 1984. Her
experience involved working for a printing company, several
years in the newspaper industry and many more years being
self-employed. As proprietor of her own business, she did
graphic design, printing, ad specialties and even published a
