This matter concerns an attempt to foist on us oil leasing and hydraulic fracturing in 1.6 million acres of our federally-protected public lands here on the Central Coast.
Supervisor Gregg Hart's resolution opposing further dangerous oil operations here aims to protect us all. We can hope that a measure of wisdom and courage will also come to Supervisors Lavagnino and Adam. If not, we have the next election to correct matters. And, thankfully, Joan Hartmann is a District Supervisor and deserves our continued support against Big Oil's candidate, Bruce Porter.
The entire Trump administration scheme to frack here is in pursuit of short-term profit for a few, and more oil and gas than we need or can ever safely use.
