Assemblymember Wesley Chesbro (D-Arcata), chair of the Environmental Safety & Toxic Materials Committee, told those crowded into the state capitol hearing room California can utilize federal stimulus money to create good, green and smart jobs to help lift us out of this economic depression and improve the states environment at the same time.
