<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi Baile,<br><br></div>This whole process was begun by the Ocean Protection Coalition when we tried, unsuccessfully, to get the supervisors to pass a moratorium on fracking. Then Dan Hamburg and Dan Gjerde took it on themselves to craft a ban on fracking and they didn't have a majority in favor to pass it. Meanwhile CRNMC began our signature campaign and then got measure on the ballot. The supes adopted a wait and see attitude until after the election. <br><br></div>I just got off the phone with Ben Price at CELDF and he admitted he wasn't practicing law in California. He also said it may be unlawful for the county counsel not to encode every bit of Measure S but that we need to check with a local attorney. He also suggested that we publicize this situation with letters to the editor and opinion pieces in local publications and tv and radio to pressure the supes to encode Measure S completely. How can they face the fact that 70 percent of the voters want this and then cut our measure up or not encode any of it?<br><br></div>Ed<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 19, 2014 at 9:09 AM, Baile Oakes <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:baileoakes@gmail.com" target="_blank">baileoakes@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Thank you, Ed for your help with this matter. <div><br></div><div>The information came from Norman de Vall who has had years of experience as a Supervisor from the 5th district.

Good fortune into your new position.<br>
<br>
As for the CRNMC, do we have a "go to" person with Global Exchange regarding questions concerning Measure "S" ?<br>
<br>
Thank you for all your service<br>
