Lincoln Community Meeting Comments from January 9, 2012
John T. Larimer
The "right to notice" is a fundamental right and that the plan was not adequately
noticed. The plan that he was only able to download on Sunday was dated
December 10, 2011. The earliest comment was December 19. The plan was put
on the internet in a form that he was not able to download on his computer.
Concerned about command economy and control of his property and rights.
This is reminiscent of communist countries of which he listed countries by
example. The high language in the plan talking about utopia is more like
enslavement; even if we have our property will not be able to enjoy it.
Expressed concern about the comment period during the holidays.
Don’t know how you can have an environmental impact report without clarity of
what the report is studying.
Water price increases for farmers and ranchers have gone up 800% in
anticipation of four damns being blown up. Cost is astronomical. If we want to
be able to eat, can’t be having waters stolen for salmon and trout.
Concerned government is creating a bureaucratic monster with decisions that
won’t be made by local council members and Board of Supervisor. Concerned
about the authority that planners and the rest of this bureaucracy will have.
1033 pages. Has the mayor read this?
Elected officials are relying on the planners to tell them what to do. You are
picking winners and losers in this action.
At a time when state, federal, counties and cities are broke, government
planners and NGO employees are spending tons and tons of money and hours to
steal freedom and destroy prosperity.
They are planning on increased population while we see thousands of people
leaving California.
The comments here are summaries of the oral testimonies provided at this public meeting.
