Paul, thanks to you and Chris for leading the charge to fight this process. Frankly, now that it's done and part of LJ is saved the kayak fishing community here in San Diego has alot to be thankful for.
Last month a small group of relatives walked down the steps of my uncle's house in Laguna and committed his ashes to the deep (he was affectionately known as The Captain). His place was known as the Halibut House because as kids we would fish off his boat and dive off the beach for them. It turned his stomach to know that his grandkids and my young kids will never get to know this joy or have the great memories that I have. Luckily, we got to put him to rest while his ocean was still free. The same fate could have happened in LJ and PV as did in Laguna and Malibu were it not for the fight put up. Thanks to all that sent letters or attended hearings.
If there's proof the BRTF met in secret in defiance of the law, then that is pretty important info that needs to get out to the public NOW while this issue is still fresh. the UT has run two front page articles on the MLPA process. Get that info to Ed Zieralski with a flow chart of the link from the Packard Foundation to the the people involved. I saw what I consider to be Meg Caldwell's arrogance and disregard for the people of this State first hand at the BRTF decision meeting when she adamantly refused to implement other options than #3. If she and the BRTF met in secret in defiance of the law I can only assume it was to influence the agenda, then the State Bar and Stanford need to hold her accountable. This will only happen if the public knows the facts. If there is factual evidence, I for one am willing to spend some $$ to make that known.
