Dear Enterprise Zone Supporter: Today the governor signed the 2011-2012 budget, which did not include the elimination, or reform, of the Enterprise Zone program.  This is a huge victory for businesses and employees alike and I would like to thank you for your steadfast support over the past 6 months.   Together, we sent more than 10,000 letters to legislators and the governor in support of the Enterprise Zone program.  We came to Sacramento to meet one-on-one with legislators and their staff during our successful lobby days.  We placed phone calls and sent emails about the importance of this program. And our work paid off!  Despite the governor’s multiple efforts to dismantle this program, the final budget solution did not make any changes to the Enterprise Zone program.   Thank you again for your tireless efforts on behalf of businesses and employees throughout California that rely on the Enterprise Zone program.   Our coalition will remain the active voice on issues facing Enterprise Zones.  Continue to check the website for email updates and additional opportunities to share our views with decision makers.   Sincerely, Craig Johnson President California Association of Enterprise Zones
