Bill to Expedite the Building of 
California's Portuguese American Veteran Memorial Stalls in Committee

In 2012, the CA legislature unanimously approved the construction of the California Portuguese American Veteran Memorial. Since then the Portuguese community has been trying to get the memorial built, but has run into bureaucratic red tape. In response, Assemblywoman Kristen Olsen has introduced AB 146, which aims to expedite the memorial's construction.

 

At this week's hearing the of Governmental Organization Committee, the committee chairman, Senator Lou Correa, held over the proposed legislation - causing further delay. We are asking members of the Portuguese community to contact Senator Correa to voice their support for AB 146.

Subject: Support AB 146 (Olsen)

Dear Senator Correa,

As a member of the Portuguese American community I was concerned to learn that AB 146, legislation aimed at expediting the construction of California's Portuguese American Veteran Memorial, was held over at the last hearing of the Governmental Organization Committee.

 

This effort to recognize Portuguese American service personnel and veterans who fought with honor and dignity in defense of this state and nation, and in many cases offered the ultimate sacrifice, is one that deserves a vote by the Governmental Organization Committee.

 

As the Chairman of the Governmental Organization Committee, I hope that you will support AB 146, and allow the matter to be put to a vote at your next hearing.

 

Thank you,
