[so cal shaggy]

It does my heart good to see you guys getting so motivated against this monster that is the MLPA. The dates for the San Diego meetings are tentative right now and may change and the site and times are not worked out yet either. I will do my best to get down to one of the SD workshops unless it conflicts with one of the Laguna, Newport or Dana Point workshops. These next series of meetings are workshops where the propossed maps are presented to the public so they can gather public feedback on them. I do not know if that means there will be public comment at these workshops or not. They (the governing bodies of this process)have not stated what will happen in the next series of workshops so make sure to check the board regularly for updates. Thanks again guys for motivating and getting involved, I am already gathering data regarding the socioeconomic impact these closures will have in my area. You guys could do the same in your areas, have as much ammo as you can to counter any arguments made for the extreme closures in your area. I started contacting local businesses in my area asking what large closures would mean for them.
