Letter to the Editor on Housing Element ~By Cathy Mason
Murphys, CA...Watching (on pinetree.net) the Calaveras Board of Supervisors in action on June 22 was very revealing. An important part of the General Plan—the Housing Element was discussed. The public brought up some pivotal points on why the plan was flawed and impinged on basic property owners’ rights. Their questions were answered, if at all, with non-answers. Although the Board appeared to listen, their minds apparently had already been made up. It seemed like the public was talking to a stone wall. The two socialists...
(more government is always better) and the two wimps (have misgivings but will vote for it anyway) voted in the affirmative. The only Supervisor with serious misgivings, Tom Tryon, voted “No” the only way one who distrusted the document’s implications on property owners could vote.
What does the fact that the State is broke and so is the County mean with regard to implementation and enforcement? You can’t get blood out of a turnip or more tax money out of an unemployed or retired (fixed income) property owner! CCOG and Mintier-Harnish and its “Smart Growth” plan have got to go. The costs are way out of control ($1+ million and rising!). Maybe the BOS members have to be replaced also!
People, give us some supervisors who will do what is right (read: Constitutional) and who are
not motivated by whether or not they can be reelected. I’d rather a one-term supervisor who did what is right constitutionally. Enough of the “entitlements” and special favors to some and not others. And, read the U.S. Constitution!!! This goes for the people too. We are quickly becoming slaves to the government by not knowing what is in our “Document of Freedom.”
