Assemblyman Bill Emmerson speaks to students about state issues
Assemblyman Bill Emmerson, R-Rancho Cucamonga, spoke to Upland Christian Schools seniors during their third and fourth period government classes this morning.
About 47 students listened to the Assemblyman's insights on issues the state of California is currently facing including the budget crisis and reasons why the state is in the situation it is in.
He talked about his opinion on the budget the the governor recently vetoed and what would have to be changed in order for him to support a budget.
"He expressed concern that a sales tax increase would hurt sales in the state and further hinder the economy, especially automobile sales," said Robert Crosby, government teacher.
"He suggested that stimulating the state's economy would be key to recovery. Students asked him a number of questions, including the role his faith plays in his political decisions, how the current budget situation could affect their college careers, and his opinion on the recent ban on cell phone use by drivers."
