- A New Year's message from Joe 2:52pm Dec 26|4 Comments
Dear Friends, Earlier this year, I joined Facebook to help me stay in touch with the folks I represent. I hope you've found it helpful to get occasional updates. The feedback you've given me, through comments and on my Wall, has been immensely valuable during this challenging year...
Joe Simitian Happy holidays to you and your loved ones, and best wishes for a happy new year.
Joe Simitian Friends, I'm pleased to report that I received top marks from environmental and senior groups on their annual scorecards.

The California League of Conservation Voters (CLCV) and the Congress of California Seniors both gave Simitian 100% scores on their 2009 scorecards, which grade legislators’ voting records.

Joe Simitian Yesterday the Governor also vetoed SB 14, which would have given California the strongest renewable energy standard in the country: 33% by the year 2020. I'll continue working with the Governor's office to see if we can find common ground and get a bill signed. Stay tuned.
