I know of two appeals to the Environmental Appeals Board of the EPA, one by Citizens Against Pollution and the other by Chabot College.

The appeal by the college drew the attention of state Sen. Gloria Romero (D-East Los Angeles) who sent out a letter questioning why the college would “dedicate its scarce resources to oppose a project that has taken over nine years to permit and been reviewed and approved by all of the appropriate agencies.”

Romero, who is chairwoman of the Senate Education Committee, went on to say that if the college goes ahead with the appeal, she will demand an audit of the college’s finances.

Then Chabot went ahead with the appeal, and I believe that’s about where we’re at.

By the way, check out this web link below and ask why California doesn’t have a statewide volunteer firefighters association as they do in the State of Oregon. These volunteers provide vital services to communities at no charge which means LESS TAXES.

So you prefer an attitude of Despair?

‘jUST WATCHING’ IS A NOM DE PLUKME HIGH;LY SIGGESTIVE OF AN ATTITUDE OF DESPAIR… A VIOLATION OF THE VIRTUE OF HOPE.

Did you not read of the fact that Pleasanton has absolutely no paroled felons living within theIR School District.

That of thoSe paroled into Alameda County, ALL are supervicesd from offices located in Hayward, san Leandro, Oakland and Berkeley…. where the low income housing is available to the paroled felons who because of their convictions will never work in a Bank or Insurance Company nor any other employer requiring ability to be bonded?

Transience and classroom absenteeism is high in HUSD….. I’ve touched on this before……

We need that Town Hall meeting where understanding of OUR HUSD plight will lead to increased volunteerism…
iF THE TOWN HALL MEETING OCCURS… THERE IS NO GUN TO YOUR HEAD SUGGESTING ATTENDNCE!

All those on City’s Planning Commission, Library Commission…. there are 10 such groups where, when all seats are filled you find dedicated volunteers alleviatuing the burden of governance so that City Council members do not have to spread themselves so thin that nothing would get done. Other than Personnel Commission, composed of just three volunteers, who meet irregularly, HUSD has but one other un-offical group, (P.I.E. PARTNE5RS IN EDUCATION… WHICH CONSISTS OF JUST TWO GUYS.

So if you are down cast, despairing of improvement please do not discourage others who are concerned and looking for opportunity to serve without direct contact with staff at HUSD, which of itselfd can be frustrating.

It would be better to remain silent than cast negativity into the minds of those who look for opportunity for service!

Well, it is possible that those attending a “Town Hall Meeting” who if assumned possessing intellect as well as concern for their City and School District, to say nothing of concern for children, might just alert our collective Citizenry to the power which they posess when coming together for the sole purpose of being positive, as well as earnest, in seeking solutions to which the ‘politicians’ are attracteed.

The thing about which attendess to a town hall meeting are attracted, is that in order to be successful, is that it must not, as an absolute. break doen into an attack upon every thing and anything.

What we muist search for in the collective sense is viable solution backed up by volunteer effort to effect those solutions.

Foe exAMPLE, A CITIZENS GROUP ESTABLISHED ON A PERMNAMENT BASIS TO PROMOTE ACTIVITIES TO RAISE FUNDS FOR sCHOOL ATHELETIC PROBLEMS BY VOLUNTARY EFFORT IN cHRISTMMAS TREE SALES LOTS OR A hOLE IN ONE CONTEST, OR SPONSORING A REGIOMN WIDE SOFTBALL TOURNEMENT TO WHICH ENTRACCE FEES ARE CHARGED THE SPECTATORS ETC,…..
ANOTHER GROUP MIGHT BE INDUICED, AS A VOLUNTARY ACTIVITY TO EXAMINE THE CAUSES OF THE LOSS IN ada MONEY ( NOW OVER $1,000,000 PER YEAR) ALL AT A RUINOUS AFFECT UPON THE BUDGET.

Get it?

THIS ABOVEW ALL. A TOWN HALL MEETING WOULD NOT SUCCEED IF ALL ATENDING DID NOTHING BUT COMPLAIN ABOUT MATTERS EXISTENT IN WHICH THEY LACKED ACCURATE FACTS!

bECOMNE ACURELY AWARE OF FACTS BY ATTEDING VOLUNTARY ACTIVITY WHERE IMPROVEMENT IS ACHEIVED BY CONSTANCY IN VOLUNTEERISM!

You voted against Measure A ? and now you appear to refuse opportunity to attempt any effort at all regarding an influx or parolees who are not to be supervised while on pariole regardless of the offense?

I am in complete dismay when I run into that attitude!

I am tempted to count you in the group you call comatose!
