Brush pick-up schedule – Weeks of April 8^th & 22^nd

 The State Assembly and Senate have finalized the lines for the new district.  I am happy to say that John DeFrancisco (R-50) will remain our Senator.  He is the 3^rd most powerful man in the Senate.  We will lose Will Barclay as our Assemblyman for the new 126^th Assembly District but we will pick up Gary Finch if he gets re-elected.  I have had the opportunity to speak with Assemblyman Finch twice over the last several weeks and I look forward to the possibility of working with him in the future.
