Some months ago, I wrote Sens. Boxer and Feinstein and Congresswoman Eshoo to express my dismay for a pending piece of legislation. I believe it was the Hollings act that I wrote about a while back. I set up a special email address, so I'd know if I was getting spammed because of that. In all that time, nothing...
... until yesterday. Yesterday, I received an email from Sen. Boxer announcing an important accomplishment:
"The Senate Appropriations Committee agreed to allocate $5 million to help combat Sudden Oak Death Syndrome."
Umm ... OK ... there was a lot more detail in the letter (mostly about how Sen. Boxer has been fighting to protect California's grandest trees) ... and that's fine ... but I'm a little surprised that the first thing she could think to announce in the last few months is ... this. Is nothing else going on in the United States Senate?
