Silva Honored By California Downtown Association

This just came over the transom for Assemblyman Jim Silva's office:

ASSEMBLYMAN SILVA HONORED AT CALIFORNIA DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE
Orange County Assemblyman Named Legislator of the Year

Long Beach, CA – Assemblyman Jim Silva, R-Huntington Beach, was honored recently as Legislator of the Year by the California Downtown Association at their annual convention. “I’ve made it a priority to improve the business climate in California, and working with community leaders such as the California Downtown Association and their affiliates has been a privilege,” Silva said.

The California Downtown Association (CDA) represents thousands of diversified businesses throughout California within its network of downtown associations, cities, chambers of commerce, business districts, supportive vendors and consultants.

Established in 1971, CDA is a nonprofit corporation which has grown to be one of the strongest downtown organizations in the country. This has enabled it to successfully lobby in the State Legislature for statewide improvement programs such as AB 1208 by Assemblyman Jim Silva. AB 1208 cleaned up several code sections that have proved troublesome to many city attorneys, and hindered the establishment of Private Business Improvement Districts. “Business Improvement Districts are a key component to the statewide efforts to rejuvenate downtowns and Assemblymember Silva has helped make that task more attainable,” said Roland Peterson, immediate past president, California Downtown Association.

“The California Downtown Association selected Assemblymember Silva as our 2007 legislator of the year because he understands the complexities and challenges faced by public and private entities working together to revitalize downtowns across the state,” Peterson summarized.

I wonder what CDA's position on eminent domain is.
