omb -- Public Workshops on the Investment of Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds to Benefit Disadvantaged Communities

Posted: 06 Aug 2014 16:49:24
Attention Small Business owners and operators:. 

Cap and Trade has generated significant dollars to be used to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions primarily.  Do you know how those
funds will be used in your community? statewide?  Did you know
that the law requires specific benefits from the use of this
revenue?  Do you know there is a learn-able process for making
decisions in your community?  If you care enough to look at a
website, and/or participate in an informational workshop near
you, please read to the end of this notice.  If you don't care,
hit delete now.  

There is a local and state process for Cap and Trade revenue
decision-making and you need to get involved now to have a voice.
To inform yourself about the basics of how funds from the Cap and
Trade auctions are distributed, who makes the decisions, what is
required by law, etc. go to this website;
http://www.arb.ca.gov/auctionproceeds and scroll down to the
three gray boxes at the bottom.  The first of the three boxes
tells you how much revenue and where it has been allocated so
far.  The second gray box identifies upcoming workshops where you
can learn more,including the three mentioned further down in this
email.  The third gray box again refers to the next three
meetings coming up in two weeks (August 20, 25, 26), provides
information from past meetings, and explains the tool that is
commonly being used to determine disadvantaged communities.  

The rest of this email gives you details on the August 20, 25,
and 26 meetings.  Read the website and be prepared for the
meeting to get the most value for your time.

Remember, your business and the people you employ are key assets
within California and your knowledge is needed. Please plan to
attend one of the workshops below.  If you cannot attend, please
sign up for the list serve on the webpage where it says, Stay in
Touch.

If you are interested in a specific program, such as  Sustainable
community investments including affordable housing, Strengthening
disadvantaged communities, or Making wise investments in water
and energy you can access information on the same website by
