CDC update, meeting Nov. 6

The California Desert Coalition, opponents of Green Path North, have issued the following update and confirmation of their next community meeting on Thursday, November 6, 7 p.m. at the Yucca Valley Community Center:


CDC Supporters,

With election day almost here, a CDC community meeting in the next week, and a video recently released of Los Angeles Radio KPFK interviewing CDC and David Nahai, we urge you to visit our website (
cadesertco.org) for further information on these issues and event.

NO on Proposition 7
Proposition 7 would seriously impact CDC's ability to fight Green Path North transmission lines. The proposition is so poorly written that, ironically, both utility companies and environmental groups are opposing it. Proposition 7 would fast track utility-scale energy projects, overlooking the cumulative environmental impact, and would bolster the use of eminent domain, threatening homeowners. Proposition 7 is the wrong way to increase renewable energy in California.

CDC Community Meeting Nov. 6, 7:00 PM
A lot has been happening in the fight to stop Green Path North. The community response at LADWP's July community meeting in Yucca Valley has had a significant impact on LADWP. Join with CDC and its supporters at this public meeting and get the latest news on the continuing battle to protect our homes, our health, and our desert environment.

Video of LA Radio KPFK Interviewing CDC & David Nahai
On September 26, LA Radio KPFK's Sherry Beall interviewed CDC Chair April Sall, CDC Vice Chair Ruth Rieman, and LADWP General Manager David Nahai. CDC made a strong case against Green Path North, with April pointing out that Green Path North would be a 2- to 5-mile-wide energy corridor through the desert. Watch the station's video of the program.

Hope to see you Thursday (Nov. 6) at the community meeting in Yucca Valley.
