ONLY A PLEA AWAY!
Posted in: Uncategorized
WOW – The last few weeks have been crazy! The fight to keep Electronic Recording out of the budget was a HUGE fight. Thankfully, we have our hard-working lobbyists (along with far too many people to list – and I would hate to leave out a single one of them!), who did a fantastic job of keeping ER at bay. They talked with everyone who would listen, and then some, about the downfalls of using ER as a means of keeping the record. Please read previous blogs to see what it all entailed.
WHEW – We can finally breathe a sigh of relief . . . NOT!!!
Now, more than ever, we need to prepare for the next step. We need to fortify our forces, rally the troops, and go on the offense!
What does that mean for you and me? What is our role as reporters?
COCRA needs your support for our Legislative Fund. It’s extremely important that our lobbyists keep up with where we have left off this year. Next year will be here before you know it – with a new budget that will most likely have even more cuts! Therefore, I urge each of you to contribute a minimum of $60 – obviously, the more the better – to the Legislative Fund. Think of it, that’s only a few pleas. We can’t afford not to!
Please don’t delay. Send your contributions to: California Official Court Reporters Association – Legislative Fund, One Capitol Mall, Suite 320, Sacramento, CA 95814.

Yes! WE need leg funds to proactively educate misinformed legislators. There are detractors and higher-ups in Sacto that misinform the lawmakers about what we do. We’ll need to begin educating this fall. Do you wanna to the capitol? No prob, just send some moola so that those who want to donate their time can get there. A little donation goes a long way when it’s all combined, but we all have to come through with our part of the deal.
