We are writing to ask for your support for the reappointment of Wesley Chesbro to
the California Integrated Waste Management Board.
Wesley spent 16years as a City Council member and County Supervisor before he
was appointed to the Waste Management Board in 1990. He was appointed by the
Senate Rules Committee after a grassroots support campaign by local elected officials
from all over the state.
Wesley Chesbro served for ten years as a member of the Local Government
Commission Board of Directors. He has been a champion of progressive local
government solutions to environmental and social problems for over twenty years.
As a member of the Waste Board, Wesley has worked to promote waste prevention
and recycling to save money, produce jobs, and protect the environment. At the
same time, he has sought to make sure that implementation of AB 939 is not
oppressive and overly restrictive on cities and counties who are taking the recycling
law seriously and working to implement the law.
Wesley also has hands-on direct experience with recycling. In 1971, he founded the
award-winning Arcata Community Recycling Center. The Center is one of
California's oldest and most successful recycling operations.
We hope you will agree with us that local governments have a friend in Wesley
Chesbro, someone who understands recycling and waste prevention but who also
has experienced the challenge of holding local elected office. We cannot afford to
lose Wesley's much needed voice.

Please join us in supporting Wesley's reappointment by writing a letter of support
to:
Senator Bill Lockyer, Chair
Senate Rules Committee
