Los Osos Animosity

I haven’t been a resident of Los Osos for 30 years. I haven’t been here since the controversy surrounding the wastewater project began, but after taking a big step back to look at the history and how we ended up in this situation today, I find that the abundance of hostility of residents has turned a . . . → Read More: Los Osos Animosity

Bullying and Responsibility

March 23, 2009 Planning Commission Meeting

Yesterday’s SLO Planning Commission meeting was excruciatingly long and tedious. Many people spoke about the proposed plan for the Los Osos wastewater project (with permit approval) including representatives from state agencies that are involved in the process and concerned citizens.

Huffington Post: The Gospel According to Fox News

After reading all the articles included in Chopra’s “gospel” according to FOX NEWS, I can safely say that FOX NEWS isn’t really news.

Board of Supervisors Invoke Speaking Limits for Los Osos

Today, The Tribune has an article by Bob Cuddy about the Board of Supervisors limiting public comment time regarding Los Osos during regular meetings without the Los Osos wastewater project update on the agenda.

Technically, the board reserves the right to reduce the amount of time of public comment under the powers granted in the California Brown . . . → Read More: Board of Supervisors Invoke Speaking Limits for Los Osos

Would you vote for this guy? Part III

Ed added his two comments. I’ll wrap up the discussion with mine.

I will not vote for Bruce Gibson.

A few people have said, “He’s done a remarkable job of moving the project forward.” Anybody can move the project forward. It’s about how you move it forward. When the County assumed responsibility for the Los Osos wastewater project . . . → Read More: Would you vote for this guy? Part III

Would you vote for this guy? Part II

In yet one more body slam against Los Osos speakers at SLO County Board of Supervisors’ Tuesday meetings, Chairman Gibson has reduced Los Osos comments to a total of 10 minutes.
