You may remember me mentioning AB 2270, a bill that was passed by California legislators that would have allowed the government to confiscate a private citizen’s water softener if a non-elected board decided that local salinity was too high or harmful to the environment.

Well, fortunately our Governator thought that this was pretty stupid too.  He vetoed it, saying that the bill would “create a system that could unduly limit choices for consumers and small water systems, with potentially little positive impact given the relatively limited contribution of water softeners to our salinity problems.”   Find out a bit more at the Water Quality Association.
