Santa Barbara County’s Election Czar Stayed Silent When DOJ Threated Election

HANDS UP: It’s one of those questions that hits when I’m walking the dog. Why do we clap a big hand over our mouths when zapped by a sudden gust of grief? What are we trying to keep from climbing out? Is this reflex common to people of all lands? Is it learned behavior or hardwired at birth? Humans are interesting.

New parking lot could have impact on drainage

A proposed 95-space parking lot on the south side of the railroad tracks will be built on an area that has always acted as a shock absorber or sponge for the chronic flooding problem plaguing the lower beach houses and streets. There is a vernal pond that appears on this area after a heavy rain event and will stay for days and sometimes weeks during the winter storm season.

Community should walk proposed parking lot

Regarding the 95-space parking lot the Planning Commission approved on Dorrance Way, we believe that such a significant and long-lasting decision should be carefully considered by the City Council and community by hosting a presentation on site with the City Council. The presentation should include story poles, border markings and rendering boards so the public can see and walk the project. It would also give the council a chance to meet with the public and explain their positions on this project. Viewing a one-dimensional plan on a screen does not allow for the true impact of this significant proposal.

Ricardo Valencia for 5th District County Supervisor

A 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.”
