California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Hollister) announced on Thursday that he has appointed Assemblyman Juan Alanis (R-Modesto) to the Assembly Select Committee on Retail Theft.
The speaker created the select committee following the growing concern of increased reports of retail theft up and down the state.
“I am honored to have been chosen by Speaker Rivas to lend my voice and experience on this important issue,” said Alanis said in a press release. “Retail thefts continue to be a growing and serious problem plaguing our communities, negatively impacting public safety and our economy. I look forward to working with my colleagues and bringing my constituents’ concerns to the committee. We cannot just kick the problem to the next legislature. We must take real action on retail thefts. We cannot just talk about it endlessly.”
