OVERLAY!

Your "Keep 760" emails did the trick! The CPUC Thursday voted 5 to 0 to reverse course and adopt an overlay in the 760 area code instead of the 442/760 split they had previously mandated.

Thanks to your letters, motivating the efforts of Assemblyman Martin Garrick and his staff, the near-impossible was achieved.
