The Governor of California supports this legislation. The fact is, the Fraternal Order of Police, because they say we have a standard now, it is REAL ID, but allow us to implement it. It is a time-sensitive issue. I understand Deepwater needs to be addressed. But you have to admit, there are major problems with Deepwater. But right now, there is a major crisis in getting the resources to the local States to implement the REAL ID bill. You may not agree with the REAL ID bill, but our own Governor and the Fraternal Order of Police understand. This is one of those little things that don't seem important, but law enforcement and the Governor say please, this is one of the things that local government can do to fulfill.
