RE: "The Clean Energy Choice for New Buildings,"
Secretary Treasurer
On behalf of the members of LiUNA Local 220 who represents 600 men and women
who live in San Luis Obispo County, and an additional 1,100 members that live in
MARIO SALINAS
Santa Barbara and Kern counties, we strongly oppose "The Clean Energy Choice for
President/Agent
New Buildings", eliminating the use of natural gas.
Restricting the use of natural gas will only worsen California's affordable housing
crisis and increase the financial burden of households that can least afford those

higher costs. Natural gas is cost effective, clean and safe and can save the average
Vice President
family household hundreds of dollars per year vs using electricity.
LiUNA Local 220 has approximately 200 members currently working in the natural
gas industry. These are good paying middle class jobs that provide Insurance for
FRED WALTHER
families and a Pension for the later years in life. Natural Gas jobs are a vital

economic engine to the community and eliminating these jobs would be destroying
the lives of a few hundred LiUNA families and other families(SLO County
Residents) that depend on these jobs.

Buildings"
