WASHINGTON – Last evening, Representative John Campbell (CA-48) successfully passed H.R. 86, which will place numerous offshore rocks and small islands under the authority of the California Coastal National Monument for long-term maintenance and local stewardship. The legislation will affect approximately 40 rocks located off the coast of Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, and Dana Point.

 Rep. Campbell, a longtime supporter of the automotive industry, was on hand to discuss ways to stimulate the economy by supporting small business. He also fielded questions about health care reform and other current issues during a round-table discussion with industry members.

President Barack Obama has unveiled his budget for fiscal year 2011. It is a monstrosity. It increases spending, it increases taxes, it increases debt, and it increases the deficit.
