There will be more on this next week but the FSC taking credit is kinda like a flea taking credit for killing a dog that was run over by a truck...

I know the FSC was represented at every important hearing and made damn sure that the congressmen received true cost estimates of implementation of the proposed legislation.
And, your source is right, the final decision to kill the bill was all about the money. Most of these types of committees have some cost threshold based on current projections that allows for automatic approval of pending legislation. But, if the FSC hadn't insured the congressmen received true costs information, the only other estimates would have come from AHF's information sources and, probably, would have been well below any cost threshold for automatically stopping progress of AB332.
Just my opinion.
