A Message from Senator Bill Dodd
Dear Neighbor,
Recognizing the many contributions of African Americans is the focus of February’s Black History Month, first celebrated nationwide 43 years ago. It’s a time to reflect on the continuing struggle for civil rights, equal opportunity and prosperity.
At the Capitol this month, I introduced bills in our state’s ongoing fight to prevent wildfires. One creates a statewide wildfire warning center while another promotes the maintenance of defensible spaces around homes. Still another deters caregivers from abandoning elders in natural disasters, including wildfires. Yet another protects taxpayers from unexpected costs for emergency response.
In this Issue:
- State of the State Address
- Disaster Insurance Bill
- Black History Month
- Free Tax Help/Earned Income tax Credit
- Job Resources for Veterans
- In the News
As always, my office is available to help you with a state agency or answer any questions you might have. You can contact me by visiting my website.
Sincerely,
Bill Dodd
Senator, 3rd District
