Unfortunately, this bill will limit protest rights because it allows the county to issue the bonds regardless of protest if the State Board of Finance fails to rule in a timely manner.

Should business or others be silenced when government might have overstepped its bounds or should it provide for a timely hearing on the grievance? Please write or call members of Senate Judiciary that will hear this bill Friday afternoon, (2/13/15):

Senator Richard C. Martinez Senator Joseph Cervantes Senator Ron Griggs Senator Linda M. Lopez Senator Cisco McSorley Senator John C. Ryan Senator Michael S. Sanchez Senator Lisa A. Torraco Senator Peter Wirth Senator William H. Payne
