Ricardo Valencia for 5th District County Supervisor
By Indy Staff,
16 days agoA vote for Ricardo Valencia for 5th District County Supervisor is a vote against Trump-era corruption and oil industry interference in our local elections. Sable Offshore is propping up the challenger, Maribel Aguilera, with massive spending through the Republican Party. Sable is in a league of its own when it comes to flagrant violations of the law. The company has been investigated on criminal charges by the Santa Barbara District Attorney and the California Attorney General, and fined by the Coastal Commission for unpermitted, destructive pipeline excavations aimed at restarting a line that burst and caused a massive oil spill in 2015. Even current 5th District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino — a reliable supporter of the oil industry — voted against transferring permits from Exxon to Sable, citing their “pattern of noncompliance and either ignorance of our rules or just blatant disregard.”
