(I like this Board of Supervisors!!!:
District 3 Supervisor Michael Kobseff told Milliron, "I take great offense for you to say to any one of these board members, 'come to the meeting and give those comments.' When we're giving you comments and asking questions here, it's as good as gold as being at the meeting and if it's not, don't show up here again. Because I'm giving you information that you should be hearing and writing down. This is the elected body of the county. You should be paying attention." )

I love it...'too long' and 'too complicated'.  This is a first major step in pushing back and defeating Agenda 21 in California, to the useful idiots from both parties too lazy and/or ignorant to read the entire text I say, 'thank you'!!

10/0/12 Video Illustrates NPS Misconduct

(Seems video quality is spotty.  This is important to the Delta as the proposed National Heritage Area comes under the direct control of Ken Salazar, (ok which ever appointed Napoleonic potentate appointed to Sec of Interior). 

Here is proof of NPS shenanigans on the coast.  Do NOT kid yourself for one second of one minute that eventually one of your farming/business operations won't be attacked and shut down just like this.  Heck, we know for a fact the NAS has called out the ineptitude and inaccuracies of the so-called 'science' in the BDCP.  "Two such incidences create a coincidence, THREE such instances establishes a pattern".  It's PATTERNS people that must be recognized, dots connected and utilized to defeat these illegal and immoral acts by protecting and defending our property, our Constitutions and reestablishing Rule of Law.)

Why oh WHY do the Delta-specific meetings always get slammed on the same day, same time and miles and miles apart?????  Deliberate, willfull multi-scheduling does nothing to include Delta residents.  How the hell can they when they are being scheduled same night, same time??? 

Come on Agencies, really?  REALLY????  Just more of the same old, same old....lip sevice to our communities and the letter of the law.  How's that tap-dancing on the spirit of the law working for you???  Sure as hell ain't working in our favor now, is it?
