from the article:

"Our next big indicator as to the potential for online poker legislation making it through the legislature will likely take place next month when the California Assembly holds a hearing titled, “Public Policy and Fiscal Implications of Authorizing Intrastate Internet Poker in California,” which will take place on April 23rd."

Unfortunately my rep is not on that committee ...

However you can find the members at http://agov.assembly.ca.gov/membersstaff

You can find your district (I have no idea how my rep is ... he will be a republican I written plenty to him but no real response). If this moves a bit I'll call him for sure.

http://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/

If you have a rep on the committee get in touch and find his position on the issue.

Nice article rebuking Sen. Dianne Feinstein cosponsor of Fed ban bill. Like the tribes and clubs complaining when one of there own, goes of the "reservation". I doubt the senator will change her view but receding to the shadows will do ...

No harm to CA legislation and maybe a small kick in the butt to all supports to pass and get a grandfather clause in the bill for existing laws.

I'm not positive and would appreciate confirmation from anyone who knows better, but I think the link might be on this page, where it says "Listen to this Hearing":

This was a different bill at the beginning. Informational hearing only, but so far very positive for gaming. NV regulator says gaming is not a good way to launder money. That kills a big argument against us, now just need to get tribes on board.

Wow - hearing is going very well, tribal leaders seems to be close to agreement and want to move forward soon to forestall interference of Washington. Sheldon will go down as the player that moved to legalized, regulated poker in California.

Tribes seem to want to move this year.
