Press Conference in the Speaker of the Assembly Press
Room at 12PM, Room 317 at the capitol.

Governor Schwarzenegger has singed a law called the
Daucher Bill that would help the poorest district
including Compton, West Contra Costa Unified, any
school district with major loans, changing their
interest from 5.7% to 1.7%.

Through the work of Jackie Goldberg’s office, any
school district that is in any loan trouble, their
loan will be put off 2 years until Prop 98 funds kick
in. This means that, for example, none of the
libraries in West Contra Costa School District will
not have to close.

After the 70 mile march and 26 day fast the Governor
has agreed to come to Richmond to meet with the
students and everyone who marched at Downer Elementary
in October. This time he has agreed to come meet with
them in their home after shunning them in Sacramento
after their march.

“We have gotten the Governor to really crumble, they
rarely give in to protest,” said Cesar Cruz on his
25th day of fasting. They thank Dolores Huerta for
all the work and teaching that she did to make this
amazing victory possible.
