The question and answer session: John Zaruka, President of Wedgewood Wedding & Banquet Center makes the point as to how increasing California taxes is hurting his business.

During the event, Flap sat with Mike Osborn who is the Chairman of the Ventura County Republican Party. We discussed the ongoing technology rebuilding of the county party structure and outreach programs. Flap will have more on this at a later time.

After 90 minutes, the event wrapped up and Senator Strickland was off to his opening of his new California State Senate district office in Santa Barbara later in the day.

Strickland said he will be doing these community events every two weeks or so when the California Legislature is in session.
