Fourteen members of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, including seven members of the Government Affairs Committee, traveled to Sacramento at the end of May for the California Business Legislative Summit. Chambers members met with local legislatures and listened to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger speak about the state's economy and the up-coming special election. For an up-close look at the summit, please read the story on page 1 ("Chamber Members Travel to Sacramento").
