[Cagdu] FW: SB 475 (Padilla)

Fri Mar 27 11:33:50 PDT 2009

Hello Jonathan,
My concerns, were that a letter was drafted without us being 
consulted, but as I have learned, that was not the case.
This is a draft letter as Shannon stated, by the Guide Dog board.
I do not support it.
Thanks,

Robert Stigile
