At the very least this is recognition that there's a problem. Who's next?

Interesting! I was just telling Arnie the other day he needed to do something in California. :)
I honestly had no idea CA was considering anything. I'm just glad I beat Arnie to the news!

But every little step, in any state, is a step forward.
