Monrovia Assemblyman: Schools Should Buy California Produce; Post Financial Company Names

~ Assemblymember Chris Holden has introduced a bill to promote the purchase of California produce by state governmental entities and public schools. The legislative councel says it, "would require California public schools and school districts to purchase agricultural products grown in California before those that are grown out-of-state as long as the price does not exceed the lowest bid or price for an out-of-state product." http://goo.gl/omHL5

~ Also, Holden introduced a bill requiring the names of financial institutions and financial companies making loans under the Small Business Board and Small Business Expansion Fund programs to be posted on line. http://goo.gl/21ICc
