We have so much work to do & nobody’s slowing down…
IT’S NOT JUST THIS PROJECT! We became involved with a specific mix-use project project proposed for a site at Wells Road and Darling in Saticoy just because we thought that the gas station and the housing looked too close together.
But as we researched the issues, it became clear to all of us that our city is woefully out-of-date on the effects of these types of businesses on nearby sensitive uses, such as housing and schools. In fact, according to our city planners, they treat gas stations like any other storefront – like yogurt shops or art galleries. Not only can they poison people living close-by, but they are also possible threats to our water supply, which would affect all of us.
We are demanding that our city call an immediate moratorium on such construction until qualified experts, using the most up-to-date data and standards, can ascertain that we are maintaining safe setbacks from homes and schools. Since earthquakes can cause leakage from gas stations, we are also demanding that no gas stations ever be placed in high hazard zones, in corrosive soil, in soil prone to liquifaction, or near local water sources. All these conditions occur at the Saticoy project site.
A group from Saticoy for Sensible Development has met with each city council member separately, along with City Manager and staff from Assemblymember Bennett’s office and now we need your voices as well.
To all local organizations, community leaders, and concerned residents of Ventura: We need your immediate help to protect our civil liberties and privacy from unaccountable mass surveillance.

You don’t have to be a scientist or an expert of any kind to comment! You just need to know that that the politicization of science and research is a form of authoritarian censorship that will affect everyone’s lives for the worse, and be willing to speak up. Research on issues important to you or someone you love can be defunded if a researcher’s facebook page includes a comment that makes our Grifter-in-Chief sad. We give you a lot of resources to work with. Take a moment and join in this effort!

VOTER GUIDE – QUICK LINKS TO:
Or did a signature gatherer try to corner you? (They get $15 if you sign!) This letter is a fear-bomb, designed to make people believe that CA’s proposed 5% wealth tax, which only affects 200 CA billionaires, is actually coming after grandma’s pension!
Yeah. Ok, maybe. If grandma is also a friggin‘ BILLIONAIRE!
The letter says to sign in two places on the back – once as a registered voter and once as the petition circulator.
According to AB-481, a CA law passed in 2021, law enforcement agencies who want to buy military equipment have to obtain approval from their applicable governing body in public meetings. The law was adopted into Ventura County Ordinance 4603. For today’s example, we’re talking about the Sheriff’s office request to buy a drone on the V.C. Board of Supervisors (BOS) March 3rd consent calendar.
Why do law enforcement agencies in CA have to ask permission to buy military-grade equipment? The reasons for this public approval process was important enough to be written into the law itself.

The corruption here is bizarrely obvious. But that doesn’t mean it will go away without a fight.
