Efren Carrillo's actions speak louder than his words

[quote=tacitus;82506]I followed the link for the opinion page and found this from a letter by Daniel Turner: "The daily activity of Dutra’s asphalt plant will disrupt the wildlife and ecosystem of Shollenberger Park, which has undergone many years of restoration." Was it a public or private agency who did the restoration? What do they have to say about this? If the supes vote this in I'd think there are sufficient grounds for liigation.


Shollenberger Park was created through a cooperation of several public and private projects. See this article here - the whole piece is quite interesting:
Dredging up an Avian Oasis — Bay Nature Institute

and here's a quote from the article:

"Then in 1984, Tom Furrer, a local biology teacher, had his students study the creek to find out what it would take to bring it back to life. An ongoing class project grew from there. The students planted thousands of trees, lobbied the city to rebuild the creek's channel and tear down an old dam, and even started a steelhead hatchery at the school. The work, which continues to this day, has paid off. Not only is Adobe Creek much healthier, but the students' energy and enthusiasm helped inspire efforts to restore other wetlands near Shollenberger Park and along the rest of the Petaluma River."
