Awesome series, Frank. Makes me proud to have been involved in your campaign as a lowly high school student. I wish someone would write up the story of the Las Flores Canyon plant and Exxon. I remember how they basically blackmailed the County in 1975 or so by saying that if you don't let us build the plant, we'll just equip an old single-wall hulled ship with a processing plant and anchor it in federal waters three miles off-shore...and if it breaks loose or there's a leak, the oil will be on your hands (and beaches). To this day, I still avoid giving Exxon and Mobile my money if at all possible. (Exxon - at the sign of the double-cross....)

For that matter, I would love to see an explanation of the unused gas processing plant at Mariposa Reina. My recollection is that they said they could never share with Las Flores, but after the place was built it was never used at all!

This has been a fascinating retrospective, albeit from one participant's perspective. Time really does allow seasoning, thought, and flavor to develop. In the moment, the essence often gets lost in the details.

Sounds a little like the way the Nature Conservancy operates- lots of big talk and false advertising to influence people to give them what they want. Me, I testified in 61 Superior Court cases involving the Nature Conservancy- they lost as soon as the judge heard me say that the trees on the property was mine. Could happen again if they try to move in on the More Mesa property because I planted the trees and bushes and long grass there at the request of the property owners who were concerned that the Nature Concervancy would move in on them. They did not. Free for people to enjoy!
