Assemblymember David Tangipa, R-Clovis, opposed the way trailer bills are presented — filled in only days before a vote. He declined to vote.
“The fourth largest economy in the world should not function like that,” Tangipa said.
He also had issues with the way the bill dealt with VMT.
“We didn’t have the proper time to deliberate on what was necessary, we didn’t have clarity on what the VMT bank was, even though we waved the flag of CEQA exemption, which is supposed to streamline the process, and I don’t think that we’re doing the people justice in California when this is the way the process is being done,” Tangipa said.
