SF Bill 376 Dies in Commerce Committeebucoa.org/2025/03/07/sf-bill-376-dies-in-commerce-committee/We won again this time. SF 376 died in the commerce committee and cannot move forward. I’d like to say we have finally truly won and local control is safe, but sadly, I cannot. This bill, or ones very similar to it, that try completely take away local control are gonna keep coming up every year until the wind energy companies finally get their way. So we need to constantly keep a close eye on this stuff and what corrupt legislators are trying to push through. Please do not lose vigilance! ... See MoreSee Less
