than a non-existent agreement. There are fires and fire prevention, for example. Das Williams has dealt with those issues on a local level. He has the experience on these issues to take to Sacramento.There is a reason why Das Williams has the support of:It has been a year since the Jesusita Fire ravaged the hillsides above Santa Barbara, and a vote of support from the City Council on Tuesday aims to keep fire damage at bay from homes in that area.

The City Council approved an extension for that yearly assessment and gave the program its blessing to continue.
....The program received unanimous support on the dais, and Councilman Das Williams called it “one of the most important programs we’ve established.”
Mayor Helene Schneider echoed support.

As someone who got one of those Jordan mailers, I want to say that I SAW & STOOD NEXT TO Das Williams at the GOO (Get Oil Out) protest in 2008 at the Museum of Natural History, where he showed up to tell McCain what he could do with his GOP "Drill Baby Drill" energy plan. Das is a real conservationist who will NOT any permit any more oil drilling in California--off OR on shore!
