Basin residents show up in strength to question LADWP on Green Path North

The Yucca Valley High School gym was packed this morning as residents of all stripes, ages, and persuasions and from as far south as Desert Hot Springs and as far north as Lucerne Valley met Los Angeles Department of Water and Power with an impressive display of community strength and determination not to be the victims of the Green Path North transmission project.

LADWP General Manager David Nahai attended personally but seemed unprepared for the aggressive questioning and frank lack of trust exhibited by the audience. He was visibly ruffled by his reception, and when asked what benefits Green Path North would bring to the Morongo Basin, he could not answer.

More details soon.
