• Cheryl Peace served on the California Integrated Waste Management Board from 2003 to 2008. 
• Legislative Altercation: Shortly after the adjournment of the Senate Appropriations Committee meeting (on September 3rd, 1985), Peace berated State Senator Al Alquist, calling him a "pitiful little creature." Alquist yelled back that "If there is a 14-karat asshole in the Assembly, you are it." Alquist then threatened to have the Senate Sergeant arrest Peace, but no further action was taken.
