SAVE PROPOSITION A and STOP OIL DRILLING IN OUR OPEN SPACES
Do not allow oil drilling to damage Whittier's open spaces. Do not permit changes to Prop A that would allow oil drilling on land designated for open space.
Why is this important?
In the early and mid 90's Proposition A which was sponsored by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors was passed by a majority of the Los Angeles County taxpayers.
Part of Prop A a park proposition was used for acquiring land as Open Spaces and to keep it that way for perpetuity (forever) and for upgrading parks. Now, the Whittier City Council wants to turn the Open Space land into an oil field.
They are trying to change the "land use" for the land which was purchased with Prop A money. If Whittier is successful then all Open Space land that was purchased with Los Angeles County Prop A money can have their land use changed to oil fields. This could have a ripple effect throughout the State of California by allowing land use changes on land in the State that was purchased with similar propositions.
On October 29, 2013 at 9:30 A.M. the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will be having a Public Hearing on Prop A. The purpose of the hearing is to get public input on changing the "land use" into an oil field. WE OPPOSE THE OIL PROJECT AND LAND USE CHANGES.
We urge you to attend the meeting if at all possible. In the event you cannot attend you can make your comments on this petition and it will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has the power to stop this project. Can't Drill Can't Frack.
