The county may be cherry picking the sites they are testing for toxic materials. A full environmental review with public involvement must be conducted before any more toxic material is removed from the disaster area.
Tell the government to allow the public access and input so we can make sure they are not “making things up”.
The people of this county have every right to have a complete environmental study performed on the toxic materials that are in the debris. The debris is being dumped on public beaches. It’s being dumped in water ways. It’s being dropped all over the roadways. Not a single publicly reviewed study has been performed, and it’s been over a month since the slide. There is a real possibility that the locations where the county is taking test samples are being chosen to show low levels of contamination. The people have every right to have public hearings, conducted in a manner that meets environmental law requirements, where the public can submit alternatives to removing the debris from the disaster area ( such as placing the debris in government owned lands located in Montecito).
Coming from someone who cherry picks facts to spin together a weave of outrage it’s rather funny to hear you accuse others of that which you are guilty of. Admit it, you just want to shrink government to the size of a nut so you can flush it down the toilet. You just want to wreck it to prove it’s broken but keep your entitlement checks coming.
