Cal Boating Still Vulnerable

The Department of Boating and Waterways — a.k.a. Cal Boating — is still on Governor Brown’s list of agencies to kill, so if you want to keep the Delta as weed-free as possible, or you use boat launches, or you ever use pump-out stations, or you like that a government agency has your back, or . . . the list goes on . . . then be sure your representatives know how you feel. Budget subcommittee meetings in Sacramento are scheduled for this Wednesday, March 21 (2:30 p.m., Capitol Room 2040), as well as March 28 (9:00 a.m., Capitol Room 447), and if you can’t attend the meetings personally we’re encouraging you to contact the subcommittee members to urge them to vote no on Brown’s proposal to eliminate DBW.

Which of the 74 DBW-funded Bay Area pump-out stations do you use most frequently?

The latest update from the Recreational Boaters of California notes that the proposal "may be removed from the state budget process and pursued instead as a formal government reorganization plan." If that happens, the proposal won’t be heard or voted on, but since it’s still on the schedule, it’s a good idea to let your voice be heard.
