Time for a change

By Ed Martin

Archives - People are talking:

•  

• Foggy Airport Plans    

• Opposition to Airport Marina Grows

• Sensible Growth Update.

• A “zinger” on the Bulletin Board. Send your thoughts along. What do you want to say?

• Everyone welcome! Venice Interfaith Community Association service December 19th

• Jon Thaxton - Smart Growth often misused, resulting in more sprawl.

• Jim Clinch, Chamber Chairman, presents his views on Tramonto Vista Park

  Editor's note:

  Jim calls advocates for a primarily natural park "fun killers."

   One correction might be that this group was not "last minute." Maxine Barritt, among others, raised public awareness of a plan to build commercial enterprises on the site, a point Jim did not mention. Her efforts helped save the park and led to an interest in maintaining Venice's share of pristine beach, something which will attract visitors to Venice and its businesses particularly if The Chamber can help Venice be an even more attractive eco-tourism site.

Sublette talks about the terrible proposal, Amendment 3, which would dilute your and every citizen's vote and our opportunity to pass constitutional amendments.
