Schiavo Advances Landfill Safety, Transparency Bills to Protect Communities

“My health problems caused me to lose my business because [my tremors meant] I could no longer cook or operate my restaurant. Then, I lost my home. A home I worked so hard to buy. A home I thought I would retire in. A home where I now lost everything I paid into it,” said Val Verde resident José Bobadilla. “Now I am living with my family and depending on them because I am so sick I have become disabled and can no longer support myself. AB 28 will help prevent these landfill disasters from happening in other communities. It will help protect residents’ health. It will create a community fund to hopefully help people like me.”
